Bishop Potter made some remarks on tho
burial OF the poor.
There is at present" said hs. mo subject
so greatly overlooked both in sanitary and
q moral wny, by the clergy rs tho burial of tho
poor. The reople should he instructed from
the pulrit concerning burial. The barharic
custom OF laying the dead in stone and brick
tombs is one that serves rather to breed pes
tilence among the living than to show respect
denounced. hone there NAV be some of the
clergy here present who will have the courage
to say few words on this subject from New

Many People Suffer from Catarrh Of ne
StOmach-They Think 1t IL Dyspepsia> aAa
are Treated for that Stubborn Complaints
What Should be Done.
Probably the most painful and disagreeabls
form OF catarrh is what is known as catarrh OF
the stomach. In this nearly all the symptoms
OF throat and nasal catarrh are present. and in
addition the stomach is inlamed and irritated
until 1t becomes raw and sore. Many suffer-
ing from catarrh OF the stomach believe that
they have dyspepsia. and are treated for this
very common but stubborn complaint That
they are not cured is due to the fact that the
source OF the trouble is not attacked. Suo-
cessfully treated for catarrh OF tho stomach.
tho sufferer would soon be rid Of the painful
symptoms and be restored to health.
Tho case Of Mr.. Louis Boulger. 1O6 Diamond
ST.. Grecnpoint. very aptly illustrates this.
and It may be considered as an example of
the remarkable success of Drs. Copeland and
Gardner in treating catarrhal cases. Mr..
Boulger said:
Il have suffered for years with miserable
case OF catarrh OF the stomach. had no ap-
petite. no desire for food. Everything I ate
disagreed with me. causing me heavy full
feeling in the stomach as II it contained .
lump Of lead. with belchinG and rlftlng OF sour.
acrid gas. and terrible burning inside.
II lost IN flesh and strength. my sleep was
restless and unrefreshing. was nervous and
depressed when went to Drs. Copeland and
Gardner. To-day ! feel better than ] have in
many years. All tho painful and annoying
symptoms OF my trouble are relieved 4 fesl
like n new man. and cannot say enough In
praise OF Drs. Copeland and Gardner. They
have given me strength and vigor and re-
newed interest in life"

THAT CHALLENGE.

Outside OF all tho evasions with which the
author OF this so.called challenge has tried to
cover It in order to confuse the public and to
conceal tho humiliation OF his position. the af-
fair simply amounts to this:
This doctor issued challenge to contest
OF comparative skill DR.. Copeland accepted
It, Tho challenger avoided the contest by
stating that his lawyers advised him not to
engage in 1t at present.
Tho challenge stated SIS. 900 as the amount.
It was Issued on the 9th; accepted OH the 7th.
On the l1th DR.. Copeland repeated his accep-
tancs. urging action. lie deposited $1,000

posted for nearly week. tho challenger fail
Ing to COVERT.
Dr.. Copeland's acceptance OF the challenge
was as simple rs it could worry well be made.
He specified two thines that tho money must
be put up and that the names OF the Jury and
Of the test patients be printed. SO that there
could be no opportunity for evasion. He gave
the challenger the selection OF the jury. pro-
yiding they be reputable physicians. and the
selection OF tho cases. lie wished to leave no
ground for criticisms or objection on the man
ner OF his acceptance. aud to give the challen-
ger no possible reason or excuse for failing TO
make good his challenge.
Nothing was said when tho challenge was
issued about lawsuits. Two questions natu-
rally arise:
Irst-Did tho challenger enter his lawsuit
in order to protect himself from the results OF
his challenge?
Second-If he did not want his challen sc to
be accepted. what did he issue it for!
