NOT ALL CARELESS
Some Employers Are Very
Kind to Their En-
p1oyes.
ONE INSTANCE IN POINT.
A Bookkeeper Who Is Given a
Holiday, Medical Aid and
Other Things.

1t is an old saying that Corporations
have no soul" and by dint of repetition
and application it has come to be applied
to almost every employer of labor. But
that this is unfair is easy of demonstra-
ton. Indeed, an instance has just come
to light which shows well-known mer-
chant of this City in a most enviable
light. The facts as related by the man
who was treated by this gentleman in a
big hearted way are as follows: Mr..
Jones 1--WE will call him that, for, for OBJ.
vious reasons, he does not wish his name
to be known) had been out of work for a
very long time, and the worry was begin
ming to tell on him., At nights he could
not sleep his appetite forsook him, and he
was generally miserable. Hope of obtain
ing employment had just about gone
when one day in reply to an application
that he had made for a position which he
had seen advertised as vacant he was
asked to call on the head of well-known
firm. He knew that this was a most i'm
portant thing, and yet was so "weak and
weary" as he put it, that he found it
necessary to take some stimulant before
keeping his appointment with his would
be employer. On the advice of physi-
clan he took a couple of strychnine pills
and then made the BRACE" as he calls 1t.
He was employed and at once entered
on his duties. He had been at work about
week when the senior member OF the
firm noticed one morning that his hands
trem bled visibly, and few moments later
he was summoned to the private Office.
"Mr. Jones," said the head OF the con-
Germ, ''do you drink 2"
"a little cIaret with my meals-nothlng

''rhen you are i'll, +" said the merchant
gravely.
''OnIy little nervousness, nothing to-
prevent my going on with my work, sir,

Come and see me just before you go to
lunch." said the merchant kindly enough.
but it gave Jones the shivers thinking he
might lose his newly found job. However
when he came in a the noon hour, he was
handed note to the Chief Consulting
Physician of the Hudson Medical Insti-
tute and asked to go 10 the big white build
ing at the junction OF Market, Stockton
and Ellis streets, and deliver it in person.
This he did. After reading the note, the
doctor said "Mr. s. has not misjudged
the matter at all. see you are altogether
all right" A careful examination OF the
case was made, and Mr.. Jopes-after con-
Tossing to one or two follies to which most
men are prone, protested tnat he could
not afford to pay Tor treatment. Don't
bother about that" said the man with the
grave face who had just completed the ex-
animation. You can see the manager"
Going into the managers room he was
shown a note which read something like
this:
Hudson Medical NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Win
you please examine and prescribe as you may
see fl t for our Mr.. Jones and send us your bill
for same. He has been with us but very few
days, but we think him a valuable man. If he
needs rest tell him to take it, and that he can
come back to his post as soon ss he is well.
Yours truly, s. s. & CO.
Mr.. Jones says that he took nothing but
the "Great Hudyan." that marvellous
remedio-treat ment which the famous
doctors of the great Hudson Medical In
stitute discovered, and that he was back
at work quite well and thoroughly new
man in thirty days. He acknowledges
that but for the marked kindness of his
employer he would have had to give
up his position, but still he cannot say
too much in praise of that wonderful
vegetable remedy, Hudyan, with which
he was so quickly put on his feet again.
Any one wishing testimonials about the
great Hudyan can obtain them by writing
to the Hudson Medical Institute at 5
Stockton street.
