NOT MIRACLES,
But the Natural Results OF Natural
Causes and What Naturally Might
Be Looked for and Expected.
CONTRACTOR M'VAYS LETTER.

The testimony. which Drs. Copeland, Hall
and Byers have for many years offered to
the people of Pittsburg and vicinity is OF
the highest oTder-it is the testimony of old
and respected residents. Not one is obscure,
not one is unknown. In every case is the
fuu name gwen, and the residence, with
street and number, and to this is added in
many instances the place of business. Not
only this, but the people who have thus
willingly offered their testimony, have done
so from feeling of gratitude for benefits
received, and all will be glad to have any
one who doubts the genuiness OF the state
ments, or who desires to inquire more par.
ticularly into the details, to call and satisfy
his mind on every point.
Every day persons call at the offices of
Drs. Copeland, Hall and BYers to be exam
ined and take treatment who make remarks
like this:
'.I know Mr. O'DonnelI well (or Mr. Nick
aids, or Mr.. Buckley. or some of the others
VINO have offered testimony, and when
saw his statement L knew it was all right,
Tor ne IS reliable man."
Do Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers ask any
thing unreasonable when they solicit belief
In the statements OF Pittsburgs old and re-
liable citizens? When they court the fullest,
1reest and most searching investigation into
the character of the evidence is there any
thing more to be desired by truth-loving
people?
Tess to be performing miracles; they are not
DONG anything so unusual or extraordinary
that 1t Is beyond belief They are simply
doing that which they have spent lifetime
or study and investigation to equip them
selves to do well-and that is curing catarrh
ana Its protracted train of painful and fatal
MS Is their success incredible? On the
contrary, is it not rather to be expected? II
any intelligent person should spend as much
energy, as much industrious effort, as much
persistent mental application and original
investigation upon any other problem in the
sciences or arts as DR.. Copeland and his as
sociates have spent on this subject of curing
catarrh would he not be expected to sue
ceed? He most assuredly would. The fail
ure to accomplish great undertakings is
What excites comment and remark in these
days of rapid progress; not success, for which
everyone is looking.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers are as cer-
tain that they can cure catarrh as Edison is
that he can reproduce sounds through the
phonograph, or as any scientist is OF can be
OF the results of his studies, and all they ask
is that not only the character of the testi-
mony presented be investigated, but also
and especially that their credentials and the
years of study and training they have gone
through to specially prepare themselves for
this work, be looked into with equal rigor
and exactness. They are willing to stand
or fall by the result.

ALARGE MINORITY.

John Redmood,s Amendment to the Ad-
dress to the Queen Lost, of Course, but
the Irish Greet Their Unexpected
Strength With Cheers-Fenianism De-
Tended.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-In the House OF Com
mons to-day the debate was continued on
John Redmond's amendment to the address
in favor of releasing treason-felony prison.
ers. Mr.. Fitzgerald complained OF the
silence OF Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
whom he regarded as the real jailer OF
Egan and DAILY. Sir William denied that
he had stunned debate on the matter. He
denied that there was any police conspiracy
in the case. The prisoners, he said, mad
been convicted of the most heniouS crime
that could be conceived of. Sir William s
remarks about Fenianism were frequently
warmly interrupted by the Irish members:
William Redmond strongly repudiated
the assertion that Fenianism incited Elo-
lence. He said, amid Irish cheers, that
men in Ireland had been driven to despera-
tion by the tyranny of successive Govern
ments Timothy Harrington said he was
glad that Sir William had spoken in more
kindly tone than he had in former debates.
Mr.. Parnell had endeavored to convert
Fenianism to the constitutional cause. No
Irish member, Mr.. Harrington continued,
dared to deny that Mr.. ParnelPs plan OF
home rule was what Ireland wanted, and
had led to the cessation of Fenianism.
Mr. Mccarthy thought that Sir William
Vernon Harcourt's speech was unfair. Al
though tine Fenians were revolutionary,
they never had anything to do with dyna-
mite Mr. Dillon said that to his personal
knowledge DAILY had opposed violence. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt was evidently
preiudiced against the Fenians. He (Dil-
ion) believed that the convictions of DAILY
and Egan were due to, the English jury be-
ing carried away with the excitement of the
times and concluding that the prisoners
were members of dynamite society. The
universal experience with amnesties grant
ed to Irish prisoners showed that they had
a soothing influence on the passions of ex-
tremists and tended to discourage crimes.
He appealed to the members to do crown
ing act of mercy, which, he believed, would
wipe out forever reasonable feeling and
those crimes which disgrace the country.
Mr.. Redmond's amendment was mega
tived by a vote of 1873 to 81. The announce
ment of the figures was greeted with loud
cheering by the minority.

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
The Grippe Responsible for More Deaths
How to Avoid the Danger.

Grippe in itself, is bad enough. debilitat-
ing enough, but it is the after effects, the slow
ness of recovery that give it its great dam
ger. In most cases, the person did not have
sufficient vitality to rally after the disease
itself had passed. The forces of nature were
too weak to contend with the debility which
the Grippe had left.
1t is sad to think how many people have
died who might have been saved ii nature
had been properly assisted and fortified
after the Grippe had been driven from the
system. Many physicians realized this fact,
and assisted their patients over the danger
Gus after effects by bracing up and stimulat-
ing their systems. This was, and can be
done in but one way, and that is by the
steady and moderate use of some pure yet
powerful stimulant. There is but one abso-
lutely pure and medicinal stimulant known
to the profession and to the public, and that
is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The most
prominent scientists and physicians of the
land endorse its purity and value. 1t is not
a new whiskey, it has been before the public
for years. 1t is not q cheap decoction, but
a pure distillation. 1t imparts tone to the
system possible in no other manner and
sends the blood coursing through the veins
with renewed vlgor. 1t is superior in every
respect and however much any unscrupulous
druggist or grocer may seek to lead you to
believe to the contrary do not be deceived.

CaseS-Court Proceedings Boiled Down.

A First Degree Verdict Not Asked Tor
Against Jan Janoski-Other Criminal
Cases-Court Proceedings Boiled Down.
In Criminal Court yesterday, Jan Janosk
was found guilty of voluntary man
slaughter, it being charged that he killed
Casper Tomezk. The trial was continued
from Thursday and in the morning several
witnesses for the defense were heard. They
testified to the peaceful disposition of the
defendant. The arguments were then be-
gun. Frank I. Gosser, attorney for the
defense claimed an acquittal and concluded
his argument previous to the noon recess.
District Attorney Burleigh spoke when
court reconvened in the afternoon and at 2
o'clock Judge Kennedy charged the jury.
Mr.. Burleigh told the jury that it should
not bring in first degree verdict because
the case did not warrant it. Judge Kenne-
dy also made this statement and defined the
verdicts possible for the jury to agree upon,
AT o'clock the jury returned verdict OF
voluntary manslaughter and the prisoner
was remanded to jail for sentence.
In Judge Porter's branch very few cases
were heard, and he adjourned court at 2:3O
o'clock in the afternoon.
The assault and battery case of Stephen
Collins, ex-Superintendent of Mails of the
Pittsburg postofice, who was sued by his
wife, Marie Collins, came up. The prosecu-
triN petitioned for nolle pros, and it was
allowed, the defendant paying the costs.
Lizzie Jones, charged with assault and
battery by Frances Peters, was fined $50 and
costs. The defendant is colored woman,
and assaulted the prosecutrix September
%, 1891.
John Dempky and Julius Dempky, son,
pleaded nolle contendere to charges of ag-
gravated assault and pointing firearms, re-
spectively, the prosecutor being Henry
Bremen, of South Fayette township. The
senior defendant was fined S25 and costs
and the other SIS and costs.
This seemed to elate man named James
Grogan, of McKee's Rocks, to such an ex-
tent that he began to cheer. He was at
the rear of the court room at the time and
provoked considerable amusement among
the spectators. An attempt was made to
quiet him, but he forced his way in front of
the bench and cheered again. He was
seized by some officers and committed to
Jail for "a hours by Judge Porter to
sober up.
