"To those who have been suffering
from various diseases and have failed
to find any relief, l am to-day a living
testimony and witness to the wonderful
and marvellous curative powers of the
great medicine. To persons suffering
from various diseases l earnestly recon-
mend the use of this remedy if they
would be cured. For further informa-
ton l will willingly, cheerfully and

Can there be any invalid or sick per-
son who will hesitate for an instant
after reading the above, to at once use
this remarkable medicine which can per-
form such wonderful cures? We do not
understand how any hesitation can be
possible on the part of sufferers, for this
is proof positive that the remedy will
cure. We certainly join Miss Marlatt in
advising all who need remedy to get
it at the druggists at once. 1t is purely
vegetable and harmless, and is the dis
covery and prescription of the famous
DR. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New
York. the noted specialist in nervous
and chronic diseases, who in all cases
can be consulted free of charge, either
by calling upon him or by writing him
letter about the case.

Oxford, N. j., is the home of many
beautiful young ladies, but none fairer
than Miss Emma Marlatt, who is a re-
cognized belle and known and loved by
large circle of friends and acquain-
tances.
She had the grave misfortune to be
afflicted with a most serious complaint
which rendered her parents and friends
very anxious in regard to her state of
health. Physician after physician was
consulted, but without the slightest
benefit, until at last, having been recon-
mended to use a certain remedy, the
sufferer as well as her parents. were all
amazed at the suddenness of the cure it
effected.
Doubtless Miss Marlatt's friends will be
overioyed'at her recovery and restoration
to sound health and tsrength, and we are
sure the public generally will read with
deep interest her description of how
that health was so marvellously re-
gained,

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The Credit MobIlIer frauds, which left
a brand of shame upon the records of
scores of public men in this country
twenty years ago, Is but child's play
compared with the gigantic swindle
perpetrated upon the people of France
in connection with the alleged con-
struction of the Panama canal. The
robbers and blackmailers are the highest
and most gifted men in France-legisla-
tors, members of the ministry-and
even Carnot, the president of the repub-
lie, is stained with the effort to conceal
the swindle if not with actual partici-
patton in the steal. The greatest
journalists have been shown to be COM
mon blackmailers. DeLesseps, who
reached the highest pinnacle of fame
when he dug the Suez canal, and the
great engineers who gathered about
him, are shown to be rotton to the core.
Nearly all of the public nlIn of France
bow their heads with shame at the ex-
posture of their perfidy.
Two hundred million dollars drawn
from the wooden stockings of the thrifty
people of France have been spent in
bribery and blackmail to prevent the
exposure of what at first was the COM
paratively insignificant false representa-
tation as to the practicability of build
ing canal at sea level through forty
seven miles of land, five miles of which
was through the solid granite of hills
four hundred feet high. The money
actually expended in the work done was
also thrown away and wasted for the
few miles completed is useless, and will
soon be filled up by the rank growth OF
vegetation and the resistless torrents OF
the wet seasons on the Isthmus OF
Darien.
No wonder the people of France are
on the brink of revolution. Such ex
posures as have come to them during
the last few weeks are we'll calculated
to disturb a much less volatile people.
