DIR. ]. Eugene Jordan, Seattle, WASH.
Dear Doctor have been and hope will
be the means of convincing many people
of the superiority of your wonderful sys-
TEN. and through my influence they have
been persuaded to come TO you and make
use of your medicines, the efficacy of
which have testified to in the past and
think it would be well to publish my testi-
mony again, for there are so many people
coming here who are diseased and your
medicines are so much needed that feel
it my duty to do all can in the way of
advertising it.
If you remember my case, was troubled
for many years with neuralgia in its sever
est form, suffering untold agony tried
doctors of every sort all to no purpose
until commenced the use of your medi-
cines and after continuing them for time
was entirely cured.
! am SO glad that the people here are
awaking to the fact that this new science
is the way to health and that these old
drugs which kill more than they cure will
be put under the ground or buried in
oblivion. Yours very truly,
MRS. MARY PARISH,
Formerly Mrs. Mary Hindman.

bowels much more regular than they were

day than I thought it possible for me to.

WHY THE BOYS CRIED.
An Affecting Street Scene Caused by q The
atrical Poster.

An Affecting Street Scene Caused by q The
atrical Poster.
From the New York Times.
The fence on the 9Th avenue side OF the
Manhattan Athletic Club grounds, between
56th and 57th streets, is always covered with
theatrical posters. Within the past few DAYS
a large and highly colored picture represent
ing the death OF the heroine in a melodrama
attracted the attention Of passers-by. The
PROSTATE figure Of the woman is life size and
the words, ''She is dead, appear coming
from the lips Of man who is standing over
her.
One evening two small boys paused in front
of the picture. They were ragged and dirty but
pert and quick witted. as most New York gamins
are. There was an unbroken line of pedestrians
moving up and down the street Suddenly,
with voices pitched in a shrill key. the urchins
began to cry. Each one rubbed his grimy fists
in his eyes and danced about as if in pain
Louder and louder grew their yells as their
physical contortions increased in vehemeDce.
