tiammation eXtended from the throat to the ear,
and when he finally recovered from the diph-
liberia he was very hard OF hearing. The
deafness increased, and during the next eight
or nine years we constantly tried different
physicians to see if we could not find some
one TO cure him. but never succeeded. When
at last we heard of Dr. Walker, the specialist,
we took Harry to him. Dr. Walker told US
the deafness was due to chronic catarrh of
the throat and ears. and could be cured.
Harry was at once placed under treatment,
and the result was astonishing. In two
months he could hear almost as well as | can,
and he has continued to improve until now
his hearing is fully restored, his catarrh all
gone, and his general health better than ever
before"
Mr.. A. J. Hepburn, of Allegheny City, Pa,
writes: 'Dr Walker cured me of a disfigur-
ing eruption on the face that had continued
for twelve years. 1 had tried many other
doctors and medicines without getting the
least benefit.
Thus hundreds are bearing witness to DR.
Walkers unvarying success in the treatment
of all disorders of the brain and nervous sys-
ten, diseases Of the skin and blood, catarrh,
asthma, consumption, rheumatism, malaria,
dyspepsia, neuralgia, hemorrhoids diseases
of women, sexual weakness, and all affections
of the lungs. throat, heart, liver stomach,
kidneys. bladder, and other organs. Young
or middle-aged men suffering from the re-
suits of their own follies, vices, or eXcesses,
or those about to marry, who are conscious
of any impediments or disqualifcations,
should consult DR.. Walker. To reach and re-
claim such unfortunates has been one OF his
aims, and he has been the means of restoring
hundreds to health, strength, ana happiness.
DR.. Walker may be consulted, free of
charge. either personally or by letter His
offices at 1411 Pennsylvania avenue adjoin-
ing Williards' Hotel are open daily for con-
sultation and treatment Office hours, 10 a. m.

married aud "Sonny" could live with
them after the cruel war was over.
But after the next engagement the sad
intelligence reached "Sonny" that he
who was to become more than a
brother-in-law to him was among the
killed in battle, This was a terrible
blow to the sister in the far.away home,
amid the hills made sacred by the death
of General Herkimer, at Oriskany, and
it well-nigh destroyed her reason, but
poor Sonny" while he was not num-
bered with the killed in battle, soon
found himself a prisoner and among
the dead and dying in the prison pen at
Andersonville. Having strong con-
stitution for a boy, he bravely fought
his daily battle with disease and the liv-
ing death of the prison. Time rolled
on; his sisters life was very sad and
lonely Her brother, whom she thought
dead, had been discharged, but with
reason 30 dethroned that he could not
locate his early home. Years passed,
and on one Memorial Day regimental
monument was to be dedicated at Get.
tysburg. 1t occurred to Sonny's
sister that perhaps she might secure
some clue from the hundreds in attend
ance; so she undertook the journey.
The ceremonies were about to begin
when she saw man, small of stature,
step forward to hold the horse of the
marshal of the day, and by an old-time
smile his sister recognized Sonny"
The restoration, the long journey home
and the thought of no more separation
made this Memorial day the happiest
in their lives. "Sonny's" mind soon
recovered its healthful vigor under the
influence of his old home and the kind
care of his beloved sister.-Mal and
