A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It Is not a common occurrence that a friendly word should be the means of giv- ing nearly forty years of happiness and health to the person needing the advice 1t carried. This was the case with Mary Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her days in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself so active and strong she can do work that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy. healthful years of industry. But let her tell her story;
 "Thirty-six years ago had great trouble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, and they blistered my side in an effort to give me relief I was at that time earning my living as a tailoress, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blistcrs I was in constant misery, and work was drag to me. with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me to take Dr. Ayers Sar saparilia, and fnally persuaded me to take . regular course of 1t. When I first com menced taking the Sarsapariila my side was so painful that could not fasten my dress, and for time I did not get any relief. but my friend advised me to per severe and relief was sure to come, and come 1t did. This happened, as say, thirty-six years ago. My liver has never troubled me since, and dursng these years have passed through the most critical period of a woman's life without any par ticular trouble, and to-day. at sixty-one years of age. am active aud strong. and able to do days work that would upset

LETTER FROM A BUSINESS MAN.
'one fointcd Queries Conccrpipr
 the Gold Stnpanra

'he Soid Standard.
 The following letter was receptIv ,d dressed to the New York Jourpal of commerce. So far as we know that no- per has refused to print the communi. catlon. This is the favorite plan with soidong editors when confronted bv ,oglc in favor of the Chicago platform. we print the letter here word for word.
 Ihe secretary of the treasury. in bis report published in Messages and Docn- ihen's, is96-lSf.' page 29l, says that a com iEauve estimate of the total deposits in ati osIKs KS or the United States aggregate over soVoo,OoO,OO0. On page 290 he says. .On July l, the total gold and gold cer.if. ca'es holdings of the banks of the country on mat date was $302 793 367' Now if ai, o"iisatiohs are to be made payable in gold as Is desired by the gold standard nartv ,he totai assets to sustain liabilities will pe put SIX cents on the dollar, ard if the elrcuiatlng notes and silver dollars are to pe iiaue payable in gold. there would not Al. S oeh.s on the dollar as a basis for M .his huge debt to rest upon Would not .Ais make a very unstable basis? If may De sad there is about double the amount VI soiu somewhere in the country but a re 'here not other vast liabilities as we'll? ihe iramers of the national bank act thought 70 per cent. reserve in large cities ana 10 per cent. in smaller cities as little as coulu safely be gotten on with. which in practice Is found too small when manic comes. What, then, would be the fate or banks when the slightest financial furry or demand for gold came, with such A small basis as five per cent? Would not every bank in the United States have to close up In very short time?
 Tt may be said that the banks would pay In notes, but as the notes would be redeemable in gold they would be pre- sehted Tor exchange into gold at the same tune that depositors were eager for their money. making a double drain on the banks.
 The secretary of the treasury. on pa ge 2Sl. says: From May to October 3. 1893 depositors called upon national banks to pay, in five months, s29S, ,00O,000 Now as national banks have not nearly half of the total deposits, It is only reasonable to as- sume that more than double as much money was withdrawn from banks during that period as there was gold in all the banks. What, then. would have been the result If all obligations had been at that time payable in gold? Would not all the banks have suspended?
 TT the circulating bank notes are made payable In gold, will there not be quickly formed even in quiet times, agencies to present notes for the gold at banks or other places of redemption, for the pur- pose of creating demand for gold to re- plenish their stock, and would there not he created, in consequence, a gold room of such magnitude and power that the one which existed after the war would be in- significant and lenient in comparison? :? Would not banks outside the ring be the first to cry out against It's exactlons and the gold standard?"

-,r WORLD NEEDS MONEY.
r ms we'll ns Gold Necessary for Currency.

- ,vorld needs much money, and -,u need more of it in the future. A "r ,,or of the prominent nations of the ,h are now practically on a paper .; having never been able to obtain onob metallic money 10 make specie ,nents possible. More than two pysord millions of dollars of gold and ',,.or are vet necessary to the curren- of the world before this out-stand- ;nc paper can De taken up. Here alone @ onlf that will swallow up the pro- .,c+e of several Klondilles.
 The world needs vast coinages of gold .,a silver to make good the losses that are constantly being sustained. Den ,is+rv alone is using mp large amount If the precious metals, both of silver s,d ,oid. In this country it is esti- .no+cd that gold and silver to the value nf two thousand millions has been used ,n the dental business and that most of .his metal has gone into the grave rords. and the rest is on the way there. put the use of gold and silver in the ,,ental arts is an incident of civilization. What about the swarming millions of ncople that are even at this time being hronpht under civilization and under .ho hand of the dentist, Where ciyili- zotion goes, there the dentist goes with his supply of gold and silver for his work In the savage lands, where the sun of a new era is even now rising. stand billion people, whose mouths are ready to swallow up the precious nroducts of Australia, Peru and Alaska.
 New nations are being born and de- manding that their names be placed on the scroll of civilized nations. With their birth commerce springs up, and wit, it comes the demand for curren- cies that are recognized as such by the nations of the world. These reach out their hands and ask for the golden and silver treasure. Whence shall they be been placed on commercial basis the problem of the currencies will indeed he stupendous one, for the reason that the earth gives no promise of being able to supply the money metals in suffi- cient quantities to meet the demands of trade. What does the entire worlds harvest of gold and siler amount to when scattered among 1,500, ,000, GOO pco- pie? Even if the yearly product were to be $500, ,000, the per capita would be but 20 cents, and this 20 cents would have to supply currency, dental mate rial gold for watches, rings, bracelets, settings for stones, material for plates and household utensils, gold leaf, gild- ing, silver knives, forks, cups and a thousand other articles of use and lux ury too numerous to be recited.
 And where is all of this vast supply to be obtained? The history of the world shows that countries and conti- nents become exhausted of their pre- cous metals. With all the new inven- tions for extracting the metals. are they finding any new mines in Europe? ? No; the once rich Europe has been prac- tically exhausted. and the same is true of the long accessible portions of Asia and of Africa-yes, even of South Amer lea and California. Australia even has become lukewarm. Only in lands new ly accessible are rich mines being opened. The world needs both of it's money metals.

A VIGOROUS BATTLE.

From the New Era, Greensburg, Ind.
 The following is straiehtforward state. ment of facts by a veteran of the late war. No comrade will need further proof than thelr friends own words, as here given.
 Squire John Castor, of Viewpoint, Ind, is the narrator, and an honest, respected cit. izen he is, too. He said 'I have been troub- led with rheumatism in all my joints, ever by my exposure there. It came on me grad ually, and kept getting worse until I was unable to do any work I tried several physicians, but they did me no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease of the heart, and that there was no cure for it. Nevertheless had lived and fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because they said
