Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.

BROUGHT BACK fROM TIE IKAVE'
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, Of S25 w. Peri ST., lndianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
TO relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle OF Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor. and depended
OF the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete. and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

Senators Lindsay and Pettigrew, who

understanding that the whole matter

nit action by the houses upon the naval

the senate in open session TO pass this bill
was the result OF the agreement.
During the debate the fact was brought
out that Captain Higginson OF the Mas

the criticism was made that this pro-
motion was Irregular but Mr. Hoar de-
