The Use Of Morphine
is the worst habit ever acquired
by any people.
Is THERE ANY RELIEF FOR THE
MORPHINE VICTIM?
YES.

We illustrate in the case of Mr.. Harry Price,
artist, Philadelphia, Germantown, 220 Chelton
avenue, being one Of many cases that have been
reached by Murdock's Liquid Food and Supposi-
tories. We quote from his letter of Aug. 13,
1889: Fifteen years ago one of the leading
physicians OF Phiiadelphia prescribed morphine,
and have never been able to abandon fts use
until now, and ! have tried everything recon-
mended and been under treatment by some of the
best physicians of Philadelphia and New York.
Thirty days ago my attention was drawn TO your
Liquid Food through the Philadelphia Medical
and Surgical Reporter Of July 81. 1889.
1T is useless for me to tellyo how have been
held during the last fifteen years. as you know
from your observation of such cases, that the suf
feriDgs of a morphine taker when without the
drug exceed those OF any other craving. have
after commencing to take your Liquid Food
abandoned morphine, but had to commence again
with one-half grain night and morning, having
experienced death-like sleep which lasted
several hours. May never realize it again!
This was the result Of too suddenly abandoning
morphine, and is the reason why took the one
half grain morning and evening for two weeks
longer; then gained sufficient strength and vital
ity to enable me to entirely abandon the use of
morphine, which has been my curse for fifteen
years. Since the first of August have taken
your Liquid Food four times daily"

thought the condition of things in Lewiston
dreadful and said that the officers didn't do
their duty He recommended the appoint

wouldn't favor Cummings, but would subst-

Mr. White denounced Prentiss as ineffic-
lent and compared the men on the two
petitions, branding many of those on the

An Old Lady's Experience In a Col
Iision on the Sound.

NEWPORT, r. l.. September 27.-Steamer
Providence, of the Old Colony line. was in
collision last evening with the three-masted
schooner Avis, Capt. Farnsworth, of st.
John for New York. The pilot of the steam
er claims that the schooner displayed no
lights. The Providence came to anchor at
once, and sent out two of her small boats,
in which the crew Of the schooner was
taken off and landed ON Hart Island. 1t
was found that the captain of the schooner
was badly injured by the wheel, the force of
the collision taxing out every spoke.
The Providence came through all right
with her side open, the sea having only a
slight swell, and the steamer being kept well
over to port. The passengers In the state
rooms on the starboard side were considera-
bly, terrified, but some on the port side did
not know of it until morning. Ono state
room had its floor ripped out, and an old
lady who was occupying it fell through on
her bed to the deck below, landing on some
bags uninjured.

THE WORST OF ALL DISEASES

as so few recover from It, and the friends suffer
more mentally than the patient does physically,
as the changes from better to worse are SO
frequent. in many cases occurring every few

acdrt of nutrition, and few realize that nutrition
can be furnished by artificial food free from in.
soluble matter and in raw state, as is found in
the MurdOck's Liquid Food. We illustrate in the
case of Mr.. WIN. Goodman, being one of many
cases that have been restored to health. We
quote from his letter OF Aug. 10, 1889, German
town, Philadelphia:
II was SO reduced in health by consumption.

The haII murder case.

1t will be remembered that when the state
offered the reward of $500 for the apprehen-
sion of Edward Hall of Bangor, the Lake
Onaway murderer, it was with the under
standing that the Province OF Noya ,a,Sa' scotia
should offer a like amount. Then it was re-
ported that Nova Scotia refused to keep the
agreement. but it now appears by letter
from the attorney general of that province
that the Nova Scotia government intends to
keep its part Of the contract.
