From an Italian source it is reported
that ON the death of a poor old cobbler.
when his relatives appeared on the
scene to claim the succession, they were
carrying all that was of any value
away, when some one noticed an old
shoe hangil IN a nail above their
heads. 1t was hauled down more in
jest than earnest, when behold it
turned out to be hard and heavy, and
on a closer inspection the shoe was
found to contain a sum of so. 900 francs
in gold and bank notes. Truly. a
strange banking place and lucky find.

At the head
of all blood-purifiers is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. But it's
different from all of them. What
ever is claimed for this, it's guaran-
teed to do. The money is refunded
in every case where it fails to bene-
fit or cure. It's because it is differ
ent that it can be sold so. All
diseases originating from a torpid
liver or impure blood yield to it.
1t ~cleanses and purifes the system,
freeing it from all manner of blood
poisons, no matter from what cause
they have arisen. For Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Scrofula, Salt -rheum,
letter, Erysipelas, or any blood
faint or disorder, it is an unequaled
remedy. Nothing else can take its
place.
"Golden Medical Discovery"
contains no alcohol to inebriate,
and no syrup or sugar to derange
digestion.
It's a concentrated vegetable ex-
tract put up in large bottles
pleasant to the taste, and equally
good for adults or children ; works
equally well all the year round.

The ground was divided into three
parts-one for suspects" chat is per
sons whom tho doctors are not sure
having the disease, one for the Iepers
under Dr. LutZ's treatment, and the
third for the persons brought in for e1-
animation and the unfortunates wait

board Of health vested the entire con
troll Of the hospital, apart from the
medical and surgical work, in their
agent, who also acts as a sort of po-
licemnn 10 catch the lepers and bring
them up for examination. He in his
turn gave over the authority to the
LUNA sort of general overseer-one
of the lcper patients, a man of no edu-
cation, who confessed himself that be
fore he got the disease he often had

the keys Of communication until the
day left, even Of the suspect side,
which he ought not TO have entered, as
ne was "A confirmed leper.
Space would fail were | to tell Of all
that took place during those six event
tul months. In that time some OF the
patients, formerly pronounced lepers,
were cured the condition of all was
amelioruted, and hope sprung high in
the hearts Of these hitherto d~cspairing
people. Then came n time when, in
several instances, the doctors wishes
and mine were put aside; some Of our
patients were made to work by the
Luna in an utterly unfit condition; one.
indeed, who had had a strong fever. was
so thrown back that he nearly lost his
life, Lastly, we heard from the patients
that the Luna and the agent had been
speaking against the doctor and myself
trying to prejudice the people and do
us harm.
We complained t. the board Of
health, as the matter became more
serious they seemed unwilling to take
my steps ia the matter. a native gen
tlcman, representative Of the people ia
the legislative assembly, took up the
matter and brought it before the house.
A committee from the house visited
the hospital three days. and took down
yoluminous evidence, which wa print
ed in "A report. They found that the
Luna was unworthy Of his office and
should be Immediately removed. as
also the agent Of the board Of health
This was not done. The president of
the board Of health was removed from
his office.
For some unaccouutpble reason of
their own, they upheld the Luna and
the agent, and there WIS nothing left
but for the doctor and myself to re-
sign, il being impossible TO work any
longer under the hen existing circum
stances. And so. with an aching heart,
we left the people, with all the more
sorrow that their lives had been 20
bright with hope before, as II Of them
said in his speech before the committee
Of the Legislative assembly, There
never has been such a doctor before in
these islands; there never has been a
who has cared 50 for the lepen. "
