READING. Pa, February, 1897.
Owing to the delay on the part of Division
Commanders to forward their consolidated re-
ports within the required time this order. en-
bodying the consolidated returns, has been
reluctantly delayed. Some Division Com
manders failed to forward their reports for
quarter ending September, 1896, until Feb. ],
1897. In nearly all instances it was pardonable.
We feel that in presenting the returns for the
quarter named, the results, although not as
good as they should be. are readily explanable.
The various Division Commanders have had
most trying and difficult experiences to contend
with. The election and political campaign
which we have passed through has been en-
tirely responsible. and to this we attribute
directly the decreased showing in the number
of Camps and members reported in good stand
ing. By supplementary reports better show
ing could have been made but the delay would
have been too great From the reports now
being received from Division Commanders We
are confidently led to believe that the future
will be more assuring; there is more interest.
renewed energy has taken the place of apathy,
and under all the circumstances congratula-
tiOns are wsrrantable from the fact that We
have, as an Order, passed the crisis and sur
mounted the obstacles with but q trifling loss
in numerical strength. Existing conditions
have permitted the leniency We have shown.

It was then suggested that this fluid was viscous or gummy, so that the fly adhered by sort of mu- cilage. This too was disproved, as it was shown that the fluid possessed no adhesive properties. By a series of careful experiments detailed in Our Animal Friends for September Dr. Drerhold proves that capillary attraction, the adhesion of water to a surface, is enough to support a fly even if he were 50 per cent heavier than he is. The hairs give out an infinitesimal drop of water and as there are a great number of them the fly is enabled to hang on the ceiling and to tickle any sensitive surface on which he alights in highly scientific plan.

WHITE LIVER

Is the kind of a liver that mean men are supposed to carry about. A doctor will tell you that no one can live with white liver. When the liver is at all disordered you are sure to have melancholy fits and to wish to be alone. You will have all kinds of curious fancies and peculiar feelings If the disorder is only a func- tiona1 ore the liver is easily re- stored to it's normal condition. If the disorder has it's origin in the abuse or dissipation of the man it is not so easily con- trolled. Very few family doc tors pay much attention to nervous troubles. As a re- suit the man who is so af- f1icted will get no comfort if he consults his family doctor. This being true, hundreds of men are compelled to try other cures. AS a result the Hudyan remedy treatment has been tried by many thousands, and these thousands have been cured. Just !0,0O0 men say Hudyan cures. Do you believe them? You can see their statements in black and white. It is a fact. Hudyan cures failing manhood, ler- vous debility, neurasthenia and disorders of man called private. You should call on the Hudson doctors foc in- formation about the Hudyan remedy treatment or write for Circulars and Testimonials.
