Fitzgerald, 325 Seventh avenue.
The appearance of the foregoing ad-
vertisement indicates the condition OF
mind under which Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald
was laboring last night.
Mrs. Fitzgerald is thrifty and eau
tious. She would not intrust her say
ings to the care of bank. A substan-
tial wallet, bound about with piece of
stout twine, seemed safest. And all
went well until last night. Mrs. Fitz-
gerald felt for her wallet and almost
dropped in Il faint when her fingers
failed to touch it. She startled her Sis
ter-in-law with the cry: ITS gone! My
moneys gone!" Then began an excited
but fruitless search through drawers
and under furniture.

AN Old VETERAN OF The WAR AFTER
YEARS OF SUFFERING HAS A SHOCK
OF PARALYSIS.
From the Press, Utica, N. Y.

Mr.. David G. Talbot is a well-known and
respected citizen of Otsego County, New
York, residing at Edmeston, who three years
ago had stroke of paralysis, which he at
tributes to the effects of a wound received on
the 10th of June, 1864, before Petersburg,
Va, while serving with the New York
Heavy Artillery.
The following is his own account of his
illness and convalescence, which will be
found interesting:

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. G.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to. a re-
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone. though l am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
