A Veritable Fountain Of Youth.

Patrick Dunn, the locator of the
fountain OF eternal youth. writes as
follows to an intimate friend in rela-
ton to his success in renewing the
youth OF a veteran four times loser OF
above three score years, whom he
recently took to what he terms his
magic spring, located somewhere in
the northeast corner OF Storey county,
TO further test the reiuvenatino virtue
Of the water:
The test on old Jeff is succeeding
beyond my most sanglilne eNpecta-
tiOns. 1t is scarcely "a month since he
left the Comst ock-a venerable, gray
haired patriarch, whose form was
bowed with weight OF sixtv-iive VIII
tiers, and hard ones ut that. For the
first two weeks, after bathing him four
times daily in the spring, and having
him drink cOpiously OF the water, his
snOw-whte beard and hair began turn
ing dark at the roots, and the wrinkles
at the corners Of his eyes and mouth
began to disappear. His form is now
as erect and his step as elastic us that
Of youth OF 20, and his cheeks are
assuming the roseate hue OF perfect
health, and | am now confident that
] have made the most important dis
covery in the history of the world.
will bring old JEFF to the Comstock
about the middle OF September look
ing as youthful as man of 20 years.
will make my next test on u million
aire, who must agree to give me 13per
cent OF his wealth for restoring his
youth. New Chronicle.
