When seen by your writer he was frank
and outspeken in the praise of Joy 5 Vege-

A friend of Mr.. Adelsback used joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla for kidney COM
plant and was cured. He had many
pimples on his face before using joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and as they disap-
peared he told Mr.. Adelsback of the fact.
Many are the peculiar, and, at times
wonderful, yea, singularly remarkable re-
coverles from the use of this herb remedy.
Hundreds of persons began taking the
remedy Just as laxative and gradually
got over chronic affiiction. MADEIRA has
had many of such peculiar cases and
nearly all of them came to the hearing of
Mr.. Adesback. 1t is for these reasons that
he used the great Californian remedy, and
now he reioices and tells his friends, his

congregation at the late mass yeaterday
morning at St. Mary's, the Oldest, larg-
est and wealthiest Catholic parish in this
city, was treated to a sensational sur
prise. 1t WAS a written confession,

ty, daughter of the late ex-A Herman
John Campbell, wealthy liquor deal
or, and WAS addressed to the pastor and
