her home on 18th street Saturday. night
from a trip to the country, she told her
mother that she had been feloniousIy as
saulted by Il white man. The assault she
said, was committed about a mile from the
Pennsylvania avenue Bridge. ana the con-
dition of her clothing indicated that she
had been roughly dealt with. Kate is
nineteen years old, and her mind is af-
fected to the extent that her mother is
making an effort to have her committed to
the insane asylum. She has been i'm the habit
of taking long walks in the country and ii
was on one of these trips that she was SO
brutally treated.
Her statement is that while on the road

THE HAPp1Esr PERSON ALIVE.

The person who has always been we'll
takes health as a matter of course, and
doesn't appreciate it. The happiest per-
sons are those who have been cured after
thew have considered themselves incur
able; they become anxious about their
fellow-men and spread far and wide the
good news of their regained health and
the means by which it was accomplished.
There is great army of such people to-
day who owe their present happiness and
health to Dr. Greene and his great med
ical discoveries, and the testimony they
bear of relief from the grip Of decay and
death bears out the broad statement that
all the diseases arising out of the nerves
and blood can be quickly and permanent
ly conquered by this famous specialist.
Among the potent remedies discovered
by his research is the world-famed Ner-
vura. Dr. Greene's Office is at "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, and he may be
consulted either personally or by letter
free of all charge. To be told exactly your
i'll and what to take to be well by this
great physician free of all cost is the
privilege of rich and poor alike. A let
ter to him will receive instant attention,
aud his reply and advice will be abso-
lutely without charge.
