In answert to your inquiry as to my success with

by you, am happy to report the most over
whelming success. / cannot employ too strong

Der my old difficulty seemed to centre in my left
knee-joint. 1t continued to grow worse and
worse: home methods proved of no avail; was

Gus form of kidney and heart disease, the latter
of which excited the apprehension of my
friends. Thus situated, applied to you. You ac-
cepted my case, and then began the first and only
thorough treatment had ever witnessed. The
first treatment was attended by no perceptibe
benefit, nor the second; but the third began to
feel change. The fourth did the work. The
old, hardened muscles gave way, the tendons
let go their lS-year hold, and although did not
jump for joy, could move my limbs without
pain, and with perfect freedom. l now walk as
well as everI did in my life. My heart difficulty
had disappeared, also the distress in the back

been pluckea from an early grave, and willingly
offer you this for publication, that it may per-

safe anchor

your treatment of the case of Mrs. F. E. Trip,

ance of testimonial of your skill and wonder

ken of our appreciation of your valuable ser
vices Under ordinary circumstances, Mrs.
Trip would shrink from the publicity which at
tends the discussion of her case; but our graft
tude to you and interest in others similarly al
flicted must justify the action. Having had
several years. experience with this case, which
/ believe to have been one of the most obstinate
of joint diseases imaginable, can fully esti-
mate how valuable must be the service rendered
that restored the limb to its original usefulness,
and the invalid to us as well as ever In lSS2,
Mrs. Trip first complained of the difficulty,
and it passed on unnoticed Itbecame so troub-
lesome that we were alarmed. Eminent ply
sicians were consulted, but all to no purpose;
it continued to grow worse until we consulted
you. For years one limb was seriously contrac.
ted, and the joint so inllamed as to necessitate
the use of crutches. While in Boston, we heard
of the remarkable cures associated with your
name. We went to see you, and, upon eNami-
nation, you assured us of success; you have
made your record good after others had failed.
June following, only three months after you
took charge of the case, she could walk as well
as ever and for this priceless service, she offers
this as small tribute of gratitude, and thanks.

,Japan's Grand Old Man.

Yukichi Fukuzawa is the Grand Old
Man of Japan, although he is about 20
years younger than the members of that
more famous Observation-Disclosures,
Bismarck and Lii Hung Chang More
than any other man, says correspond
ent, he has brought Japan to that posi-
ton which she now holds among the
civilized nations of the world. Thirty
five years ago he visited this country,
and on his return home introduced the
Webster Dictionary to his countrymen, a
book that is considered the foundation
of Japan s intellectual power. He also
introduced English into all the schools.
In days when Japan was divided into
two parties-one for and the other
against foreigners-he advocated the
opening of his country to the new world,
and his book in behalf of western civil
cation, which he wrote from his studies
and travels in America, had consid
cradle effect in restoring to the throne
the dynasty of which the present en-
peror is a member.

doubtless because it is Independent in

faction was the founding of a school
known as the Kewgijiuku university,
which is second only to the Imperial
university of Tokyo in point of numbers
and rank of scholarship. Mr.. Fukuzawa
comes from the common people and is
known as the "great commoner,'' and
what shows above all the character of
the man is that he has never allowed
himself to be carried away by his sue

through the columns of your valuable paper, for
the benefit of my neighbors, and especially those
suffering from disease, that they may know
where to go for help when all local means fail,
and death stares them in the face. Most every
one has heard of the famous Sweet family of
natural doctors for many years, and their Won
derful cures. 1 ran across G. X. Labaree, of
Webster, whose wife had been almost mracu-
lousy restored by DR.. Sweet, who would have
it that should go to Boston and consult his doc
tor. So 1 went, placed my case in his hands,
and today, what shall say to my acquaintance
of my doctor? The least 1 can say is, that
would not be placed back again where was

Dollars. Dr. Sweet is giving exclusive atten-
