Poverty no Reproach.
SAN ANTONIO, September 8.

Daily LIGHT.
In noticing the appeal in the
issue of the eth instant of the Tx
press, there is something that morti-
fies me. | was as true to the cOnfed-
eracy as any one but 1 do object, as is
too frequently done, to throw dirt in
these appeals upon the poor and the
old whom misfortune has thrown into
that detestable habitation called the
poor house! The "reprOach" where
is it? Some of the best people in all
the states, who have been driven out
by ingratitude, have had to seek this
asylum: others who have in earlier
and more prosperous circumstances
and who laid the foundation for for
tune for others, have been compelled
to ask to be admitted into this refuge
of "reproach." Is a soldier after
twenty-five years of peace, any more
entitled, be he of what arms or under
whose banner he served, more entitled
to a palace above the deserving
poor. I have seen old and young,
male and female who wept tears of
agony and shame, and some who
have sought suicide and the habita-
ton of the grave, rather than enter
the institution of charity called the
poor-house. Why? because society
has outlawed them, and favored
terms more congenial to the imagi-
native aristocracy to whom some
words mean a reproach. Get rid of
this nonsense and place the disabled
soldier, and the honest poor on the
same footing. Then let counties, by
taxes and industrial benevolence,
rear homes worthy of their misfor-
tunes. States and cities would soon
cease to be the synonym of disgrace.
1 do not know the writer Of the article
save by his nom de plume DIRECTOR"
but how is it that some months ago
it was circulated through the
papers that instead of $4,000, $4,000
was said to have been the
amount subscribed by what are
termed the generous soldiers and
cities of the north? No one loves the
southern soldier more than myself,
and no one would more gladly see the
disabled soldiers we'll cared for, but /
do object to the word "reproach" cast
on the poor because their name is ut
| tered with sheer.

American Depurating Bath

Will be found superior TO anything ever Of
fered for the cure of all diseases of the blood,
rheumatism, catarrh and kidney troubles
AS a remedy in dropsy it is unequaled in eff
cacy in affecting cure to all medicines and
other agents known to science and diseases of
the nervous system.
1t is pre-eminenty useful in the prevention
and cure of all diseases peculiar to the fe-
male sex. These statements are made after
an experience of years in its use in hundreds
of cases.
By its construction we are placed in abso-
lutte control of heat, ditfusble stimulent OF
unlimited power; also of water at the temper
AZURE of the blood; a sedative to the nervous
and arterial systems, without reactionary ten
der cies.
1t acts by establishing perfect circulation
in the capillaries Of the entire skin, removing
congestion, and at the same time depuratng
the blood of all poisonous and effete matter,
thus renovatng the organic nervous system
and vitalizing the functions. During the en-.
tire time of bathing the person is completely
protected from the inhalation of effete matter
and poisonous inhalation from his own body
or the bodies of other bathers.
The submerging of the body in water ar
rests depuratiOn from the skin, whereas by
the application of water in sprays, as in this
bath, the elimination of etete matter is rapid
ly increased.
You receive the same baths that are given
at Hot Springs, here in your own home, that
will cost you time and big expense to go
abroad.
For malaria, kidney trouble, rheumatism,
catarrh, drOpsy, it has no equal. 1t admits of
not air, indicated vapOr, alcohol, bath.
Persons taking baths are provided with
suit of rooms in a retired part of the city.
Special attention is given to ladies. Perfect
satisfaction guaranteed. Best references Civ
