intellectual gifts. He had Known her
only a year. but they were on terms OF
the most friendly intimacy. He was "A
constant visitor at her fathers house
and her ready attendant at places Of
social amusement. He felt tAat he must
become either less or more at once;
his manly instincts demanded that he
should delay the matter no longer. But
there was Agnes Moulton. During the
preceding Winter an old friend OF his
mother had visiting her a young or
phan girl by nat name. Agnes was in
great sorrow, and hunned all gay So
ciety. Mrs. Grytan begged him to come
often to help her cheer her %''isitor. and
this cheering process had led to his sec
ond i%nfatuation. He had correspondent
with Agnes ever since she went back
to her brothers home: and he was sure
from the tone OF her letters that she
returned his affection. ..

That which the writer. In reproducing
these rtate IN cnt. Of recovery from Bron-
chiai Ca,nrrh or Incipient Consumption
has avoided, aud has found no little DIM
Guilty In avoiding, has been the tendency
to the wonderful or tho miraculous.
The Instructions Of Dra. Copeland n
Gardner are implicit on this point that
no element OF the marvellous shall be
allowed to appear In these statements;
that by no possible Inference or con-
-truction shall they be placed before the
public In such n way ms to be confused
with the stories Of miracle-workinE or
descriptions Of strange and startling
r~estorntiors rim zing with humbug, de-
signed to catch the creduious, which to-
day have frequent place In newspaper
publications.
Time md again have statements been
excluded from these columns for tho
reason TINT the sim nile, straightforward
narrative of the patient has been SO
wonderful In its description Of recovery
Il was not deemed consistent with
tho policy of this publication.
Yet to-day every one OF the testipaon
iais before the writer describes n cure
whcYa the condition had been reported
by the doctors WIZ had previously treated
the case as absolutely hopeless.
The evening world., 1893-11-01
REASON FOR sIVING THIS CASE.

In selecting the case Of Mrs. Lizzie NJ. McCurdy,
who was carried to Drs. Copeland and Gardner a
hopeless invalid, indeed 70 feeble and weak that
she had to be supported up the steps and into the
Office by her daughter and her cousin, we are not
In any degree appealing to the credulity Of news
paper readers; we are simply giving the cSac:
words, the truthful and easily verified experience
Of the patient, and we produce 1t, not to represent
Drs. Copeland and Gardner ms miracle
workers. but to show, as we have shown again
and again In these columns, that such conditions
are not hopeless. that they may be cured.
1t is reason enough. II any reason need be given
for the publication Of such an experience, that
there are thousands of people to-dayin New York
whose relatives and friends feel that they are
dying from Consumption who may be restored to
perfect health and strength. This is no idle state
ment; 1t is the simple truth.
This narrative OF Mrs. McCurdy's Is no more re-
mhrknble than that given last week by Mr.. Will
lam Kidney. the well known contractor living at
135 East 6Gth st. He stated plainly that twenty
different doctors had given him up to die of Con.
sumption; that Drs. Copeland and Gardner re-
stored his health.
This narrative Of Mrs. McCurdy's Is no more re-
markable than that given a few weeks ago by Mr..
Charles Fredericks, the Oldest photographer in
New York, at 10 Broadway. Mr.. Fredericks
states that he was cured of Lung Trouble by Drs.
Copeland and Gardner nearly n year ago, and that
he has been n strong, sound, well man ever since.
In giving Mrs. McCurdy's statement exactly as
she made 1t, word for word as she delivered 1t to
the writer, we are only showing that even the
severcst conditions of Catarrhal Extension are

What was he to do? He puzzled over
the relative merits of blonde and bru-
nette, weighed in the balance the nu-
merous virtues OF each, tried every pos
slble and impossible plan for finding out
ones own mind-all to no purpose. He
was too thoroughly ashamed of himself
TO take anyone into his confidence. Mrs.
Grytan was his nearest matronly friend,
but she stood in too intimate relations
with Agnes to be considered for a mo-
ment. II it were any other matter. he
would go to Josephine, but he could
never own himself sue a fool to her.
He had known Josephine Ferrars all
his life. Only n year his Junior, she
seemed quite passee compared to the girl
TO whom he paid his addresses nova
days, He was thirty-ive now, and he
remembered with what Impotence he
had waited for the day he attained his
majority. that he might lay his for
u at her feet in true heroic
fashion. h was twenty then, and
how she had laughed at him for n
silly boy. Their friendship had remained
unlmpaired, however, and Josephine had
gone on teasing n %lecturing him just
ms she had done since they were babies.
In later years their friendship had grown
TO be a very pleasant one and Josephine
seemed TO him like an Older sister. He
went to her In all his perpleXities, and
she had had no little share In his profess
sioI al success. But he had never spoken
to her OF love affairs: indeed. TIL his
present dilemma he had never had any
since his boylsh devotion to Josephine
hersclf.

ths rest OF the evening. She played
for him as she only could play, and
chatted OF books, his work, the theatre,
all with her matchless charm. Dora
must be intimate with Josephine when
they We're married; he could not give up
his friend even for the dearest little wife
in the world, he thought.
The next morning came n letter from
Agnes, and JOY OF joys! She wrote him
that she was engaged to be married.
BLESS that cent he exclaimed &C.
statically, this makes all clear sailing.
Dora will be home tomorrow. and IN
be an engaged man before another
week. Thursday night is the Beldon
ball; I'll settle matters there"
Thursday night came. Dora was be-
witchingly attired In Il floating mass of
pale yellow gauze which MADE her look
like an escaped sunbeam. Towards the
close OF the evening he managed TO get
her away from the circle OF admirers
into the conservatory, hat paradise OF
lovers, where he poured out his passion.
What was his astonishment and indie~ l.
ton to meet with n decided refusal, She
was engaged already, she assured him
her lover was poor and she was young.
and 1t had been thought best not TO an
nounce 1t at present. He r]cproached her
with unfair conduct to himself, and she
replied: II am sure / never dreamed Of
your meaning anythiT~ by you little at
t]entions 10 me, Every one thinks YOU
are engaged TO Miss Ferrars, and Mrs,
Grytan told mamma months ago hat
she MAS sure there was an understanding
between you and Agnes Moulton."

So he hid his trouble and brooded ove
It. He spent evenings at the Paines'
vcwing to decide before he went home:
he came home more deeply In love with
Dora than ever, to find a letter from
AGEes had still all its old power over
him. He was growing thin. Where was
this matter to end?
One night at the Club he said to n
brother member: Hal. what do you
do when you can't decide between two
apparently equally good courses Of ac-
ton ?"

Mrs. Middleton had no intention that

spoke her real sentiments when she said
she hoped for the match. II was not
made, however, n a month later Mrs.
Ferrars and her daughter left town for
an extended trip abroad.
Mr.. Middleton, having married in
haste. now had time to repent at leis-
ure. He found that his wife was a self
ish. worldly woman, with not a little OF
the shrewd in her makeup, She cared
nothing for him, n for his home, only
that she might Exhibit its beautiful ap-
pointments to the outside world. He
missed his old friends, with whom his
wife would have nothing TO do, and he
could not endure the fashionable circle
with which she surrounded herself; so
he gave his days to the club, and

Death of a Good Woman.

Many persons in this community were
much saddened when the news reached
them that Mrs. Sophia Branson, wife Of
Joseph +. Branson, had died on Monday
merning at 3 O'clock, at her home on Lost
Rivor, Hardy county, W. Va, after some
months of suffering with consumption.
Mrs. Branson had many devoted friends
in Woodstock where she had lived from
her infancy almost to her marriage. She
was the youngest Of .four children, three
of whom survive her. Two of them, Mr..
Isaac Haas and Mrs. Julia Clover, widow
of the late Jacob Clover, are residents oil
this place, and Mr. Harrison Haas, the
other brother, is a resident Of Lost River
Mrs Branson was the wife of Mr. Jos.
f. Branson, a prominent and highly re-
spected citizen of Hardy county, W. Va.
She leaves an adopted daughter. Mrs.
Lula Hepner, her only child, little girl,
having died during the war. Mrs. Bran
son was truly a good woman. Her heart
and hand were ever open to those in
want and distress. Many a Confederate
veteran will look back to the dark days
when warworn and hungry he stopped at
her hospitable door, and his eyes will
grow dim as lie recalls her noble, free and
generous response to his appeal, and then
realizes that her kindly heart has ceased
to beat aid the clods Of the valley now
cover the face that was never turred
away from the needy and the afflicted.
Her aged and sorely bereaved husband,
her brothers and sister, her adopted
daughter who but recently was called
upon to drink so deeply of the cup Of
sorrow in the loss of her husband, have
the deepest sympathy OF large circle Of
of friends.
