Ocean Grove Letter,

OCEAN GROVE, July 1i-The storm rs
witnessed by tho hundreds who took occa.
sion to walk down to tho beach, and those
who had an unobstructed view Of the
waves as they dashed in on the beach,
looking like young mount aims, was sight
they never before looked upon. The bulk
heads put in last yenr by the Association
have wthstood tho storms titus far and
saved the beach ut that point from being
washed ont into the ocean.
The sight afforded by tho rushing OF tho
I mountainous waves as they aro being
driven in on the shore and then breaking
with roar, like hundreds Of cannons,
with the spray dashed fifty feet up in the
hir by the wind, makes a picture that
only can be produced by nature and tho
elements. The rain came down In tor
rents appearing as if the bottom had fallen
out of the sky for tho time being while
tho lightning flashed and the thunder
rolled In alarming peals, that made tho
timid seek safety in tho houses The dis
play in the heavens was something awful
and caused no little alarm while the
storm continued.

The INCONSISTENCIES AND THEIR
CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

Tho shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with regard to the quality OF his goods,
and the grocer or the butcher who gives
us short weights, Is o thief. However
their knavery touches nothing but ouy
pocketbook. There Is another widespread
form OF Misrepresentation OF far moro
dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently &C.
company medicines. 10 guarantee "A
medicine to cure Is to brand 1t as a quack
product. II we can guarantee to cure dis
ease, then we can guarantee everlasting
life, for in largo majority of cases people
die of disease, tho proportion of violent or
accidental deaths being very small.
The Shakers have always been known
as most upright and honorable people,
and their success in tho manufacture of
medicines has also boon well known. 1t
is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing very original and novel plan
for the introduction Of their remedy for
dyspepsia
These God.fearing people, whose motto
has always been TRY oil things and hold
fast that which is good" have put upon
the market ten cent sample bottles OF their
product. or sufficient to give 1t trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is SO
prompt in its action that for the trivial sum
OF ten cents, n person can usually deter.
mine as to whether or not it meets the re-
qurements Of his case. There are forms
Of dyspepsia which it won't help, but
these arc very rare, In most cases the first
dose relieves all distress, and an increase
of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have it, and the next time
you are troubled with ind gestion send out
and try this popular and successful pro.
duct. 1t represents nearly hundred years
of patient investigation and study.

The story is told that some five years ago
DR.. Shortlidge residing in tho Ninth ward,
built an addition to his residence and since
that time the Doctor ana his family have
been disturbed at times with tho mewins
OF II cat. They have hunted high and low,
but never had been able to locate the cat.
Day after day the mewing kept up and also
tho hunt, but the noise remained one of
the mysteries that the family were unable
to solve.
Yesterday the Doctor thought he had at
last located the spot from whence issued
the sound and tho Indispensable services of
George w. Dorsey, Jr., WAS procured and
by the aid of n hntchct and chiSel the cat
was Mt last liberated. 1t had boen kit
ton when it was accidentally walled up
and during the five years had thrived and
lived on, that remains mystery to those
whom the Doctor has shown the animal
and others whom he has told of the strange
rescue.
But the strangest fact Of the whole story
is that the cat had not like, Rip Van Win.
kle grown older but had grown younger
and when released from its prison was u
little kitten having barely opened its eyes.
Tho story is sworn to by the Doctor who
believes every word he says about it. IL Is
a strange case and should he investigated
and the facts presented to the Natural His.

should call and view the kitten which has
grown backward after having arrived to
cathood and using its voice for the past
years in trying to get released from its
strange prison. This is true statement
