A CHARACTERISTIC TALK.
Being from a Business Mar 1t Is Brief
and Clear.

As one OF the representative Of the younger business
men of New York Mr.. A. w Thornton. OF So Grove St. ,is
we'll known, and his words will have correspondents
weight. ITO begin with, he said. cit was my head that
troubled me. lseemed to be all the time catching cold.
Ny nose would run and then after a time 1t would be
stopped up. first on one side and then on the other. I
began TO have headaches. Sometimes there would be .
dull pain in my forehead over the eyes and sometimes o
pain in the back part of my head. My ears would be
filled with ringing, buZzing noises and I thought my
bearing was being impaired. My eyes would get dim
and fill with water. Itried glasses. but they did not seem
to help me much. Sometimes my eyes would be so weak
that l could hardly see to read. was always hemminR
and hawking and raising phlesm. especially after my
meals.
A the trouble extended to my throat my voice be
came hoarse. Sometimes it would have a strained, un-
natural sound, and sometimes my throat would be so
raw and filled up that 1 could hardly speak Aboyea
whisper"
But the effect upon my voice was not the worst fea-
ture of it. The trouble had extended until 1t had reached
the bronchial tubes. IhAd raised some blood at differ.
ent times but l didn't think 1t amounted to much. One
day had a hemorrhHge that really alarmed me. went
to a physician who told me that l had a severe bron-
GhtAl trouble and that l was IN danger OF lung trouble.
mt thus time-l think II was about four or five years
from the time / have always supposed my trouble began
my breathing was lAtored and difficult. l had sham.
shooting pains in my chest, extending through 70 M
shoulder blades. Dizzy spells would come over N. e.
compAnied bv frequent palpitAtion Of the heart.
81 would get up in the morning feeling more tired
than when ! went to bed. My sleep did not seem to d
mo any good. l lost steadily in flesh. My appetite
failed. Ihsd feverish spells followed by 4 cold, chilly
feeling which made ms unht for business.
my stomach became more and more derAnRed a. the
trouble extended. would have a feeling Of discomfort
and nausea there after eating. After breakfast would
often bo quite alex to my stomach. would sit down h
the table with a hearty appetite and could only eat q few
mouthfuls. Whatever l would take in my stomach
seemed to rest like a heavy weight there.
some time ago some friends OF mine told me Of their
being successfully treated for catarrhal and bronchial
troubles by Drs. Copeland and Blair. At that timOI
had grown dependent and had almost given up hope Of
ever getting well. l went to se' these physicians, how
ever, found their charges very reasonable and placed
myself rnder their care. Although they did not mako
any glowing promises l felt that they could help me-"
Indeed they did. My head and throat became clear
and well after had heen under their treatment q shoTt
time. lgGned in weight, had no more homorrhAReS' no
more pains IN tho . est, no more pAlpitAtion OF the
heart. My friends noticed my improvement and CON.
g~Iatulated me uBon 1t. / am entirely we'll now aud cor.
eoyefy." "''~
