A BURST OF SUNLIGHT.

The Discovery of Doctors Who Can Cure
Where Others Have Failed-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Hipner Suffered Terribly for
Months and Sought Every Means to OBJ
tain Relief-Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers' Constant Battle With Disease.
How many people there are who go from
doctor to doctor. from clinic TO clinic. and
from hospital to hospital, suffering from
complication OF diseases, being treated for
one thing and then another, and never re-
oeiving the right treatment after all
To such the discovery OF a physician who
understands his or her case, VINO applies the
right treatment and relieves the sufferer
from pain and distress, is like burst OF
sunlight through an apparently impene-
trable fog.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers do not pre-
tend to be more skillful than all other ply
sicians, but the statements they present
from week to week frequently show that
they have succeeded in curing cases that
dozens of reputable physicians have failed
in. The following statement is additional
evidence in this respect. and is interesting
as showing how completely Drs. Copeland,
Hall and ByerS master cases Of chronic dis
ease that come before them.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hipner, widow lady, re-
siding at rear No. 5SS Fifth avenue, has been
suffering for some time with com plicat1On
oftroubles which had baffied the skill of her
family physicians. One treated her for liver
trouble, another for heart trouble, and still
another for stomach trouble, but she found
no relief until she consulted Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers.
1t seems very strange to Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers that so few physicians look
beyond the actual seat of pain for the cause
of a disease, when they all are taught the
same lessons IN physiology and pathological
anatomy at the different medical colleges.
Now that physiology is being taught in the
schools even O child knows that the pneumo-
gastric nerve, which has nerve dlamentS
distributed to the heart, the lungs and the
stomach, controls these different organs, and
that where IS affected the others are
liable to sympathize with it by exhibi ting
pain, disordered function, etc.

The Cereals Close Weak and Provisions
Rather Irregular.
CHICAGO, Dec. H.-There was a good de-
mand for wheat every time it got down TO
1870 or low er, and millions seemed to be for
sale at 1870 for May. 1t closed with 1910
bid. Corn and oats were easier. oats being
the weaker of the two toward the close.
Corn is about l16c lowernnd oats are off 1Ic.
Provisions were on the decline from soon
after the opening until near the close. Pork,
compared with yesterday, is loo lower. JAN
uary lard is l0c higher and May 21ac lower.
Ribs are of from 715c to l0c.
The conditions seem to paralyZe operators
in wheat. Prices appeared too low to en-
courage selling and too W ak 10 warrant
much buying. Cables were again weak and
quoted lower prices. From both coasts the
exports OF wheat and flour we're reported to
be about ], 13O 00O bushels smaller than DUR
ing the preceding week, while from the At
lantic ports the exports of wheat alone we've
about $50 900 bushels. The receipts at prI-
1OOO,0Ot bushels less than last week. 1t was
estimated that tine visible supply might not
show an INCREASE of over 800 900 to 10000
bushels, though some parties calculated
upon 1000 0OO TO 100000 bushels increase.

cl1ned %c, then became stronger, ana the

The Pittsburg Feminine Mind Disabused
of a False Idea

The Pfttsburg Feminine Mind Disabused
of False Idea.
One Of the queer facts brought to mind
during this week is that few women had
ever seen pug dog puppy until they saw
three or four of the funny little creatures in
q store window down town in Pitts
burg. The comments Of the women rs
they passed the window in which the
little squirming creatures are displayed are
amusing, and it really seems as if the pre-
vailing feminine idea has been that pug
dogs "were born grown up" Although
this particular description of animal
is not fashionable now, it is
quite possible that the exhibition
OF the little fellows in the store window
will bring them into favor again. If women
must have pet dogs, there is much to be
said in favor of the pug, for, aside from his
ugliness, he Is generally a very agreeable
little follow, whose bark very seldom re-
solves itselt into bite.

Best to Intensity the Feeling of Uncer-

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE week closed at
the stock exchange with a feverish and un-
ettled market Although the rates OF sterl-
ing exc hange were sensibly easier than for
some days past, yet it was so generally re-
ported that the export movement of gold
would be resumed next week, that many
timid holders were induced to sell out. At
the same time, OF course, the bears took
every means possible to intensity the
feeling of uncertainty. The latest re re
and W, 100000 gold will be shipped
TO the continent Tuesday next regardless OF
the condition of the foreign exchanges. IL
is stated that bankers here have received
peremptory orders for the amounts named.

surprise, the loss in surplus reserves having
been way below expectations. Those VINO

An East End Man Reads Himself Into a
Wreck.
A prominent East End gentleman was
seated in a Fifth avenue cable car the other
evening coming to the city. He was deeply
interested in an exciting story of the
deadly work of falling meteorite out
West. He was completely absorbed in the
narrative and had just arrived at the
climax, where the meteoric stone had
fallen on the driver OF a buggy, when,
crash-bang-
A fearful shock and terrible jar, several
windows broken, and the digniied gentle
man found himself sitting on the floor. He
looked about for the meteor but found
that none of the heavenly bodies had fallen.
1t was simply collision between the car
and an iron wagon, in which. the wagon
seemed to get the best of it. The gentle
man says he does not care to have en- incl
dent impressed upon his mind with such
effect as this was.
