For twenty years DR.. Hathaway has
been known throughout this country as
the greatest of all specialists in the treat
ment of those many distressing ailments
which make such inroads on the constl-
tuition of men and woman. During that
time he has treated more cases and cured
more patients than any twenty doctors in
the country combined.
Many of these people-in fact, the ma
jority of them-he has never seen. Many
of them have lived thousands of miles
distant from this Office, but by that pc
culiar Unborn accuracy of diagnosis which
the greatest physician must always have.
he has been able TO tell, by means of cor
respondence and his system of self-exam-
ination blanks, the nature Of the disease.
and by applying TO it his peculiar meth
ods-the result of his own discovery-he
has been enabled to bring about speedy
and permanent cures.

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Nov. Murphy & Co. say
of Gotten to day: After ups aud downs the
market has distinctly gained, not only in
price. but In feeding. Much Of the pessm-
ism of a few days ago having disappeared d
IN consequence of the very great short
age in the crop movement at the ports
There must be some other reason than the
mere holding back OF cotton to account for
so marked a falling off In receipts, but
whatever the cause may be, even If cot
ton is being held back, this is certainly
being done by those who can afford 10
hold it, AND It Is a situation in the south
quite beyord any similar experience with
in the memory Of any one engaged in the
cotton trade.
1t Is certainly a reveiali-n to the worlds
consumers of cotton TO find the South so
Independent at season Of he year when
they are usually mcst anxious o sell. The
long interest here, while undoubtedly a
heavy one, can be made strong or weak
according TO what may be done by those
who hold There are only 57,057 bales Of
certlhca'ed cotton in New York and All
Southern markets are higher than New
York, consequently the stock cannot be
increased, except at material losses to
those who might wish TO carry cotton
there to tender on contract. If those long
of January should demand the cotton, II
would absorb much more than the stocks
am1unt to, and IL would ,eave every month
thereafter entirely unproteo ed.
These are positive facts ond the traders
can draw their own conc usicns.

come from abroad. There has been no
pressure uron the market and prices

Savannah, Nov. 2S.-Durlng the afternoon
business along the Bay was partly sus-
pended, and for this reason that done dur
ing the forenoon about constitutes the
transactions for the day. The Cotton Ex-
change closed for two hours, from $3.50
o'clock until $50, on account of the Con-
rederate Veterans parade. There was lit
tie doing at the Board of Trade, though It
was not closed by special order,
The feature of the forenoon trading was
the firmness of spirits turpentine at Az
cents. While there were sales during the
afternoon, the greater business was done
during the morning hours. The prediction
has been that the price would decline fur
ther because of the heavy receipts az pres
ent, due TO the fact producers are exert
ing themselves TO get everything possible
TO market. so that box-cutting, now In
progress ON many farms, may not be In
terfered with. Factors take the position
that most of the spirits to come has been
received and that the time for lighter
receipts is so close at hand that the effect
is being felt A falling off Is looked for
and to hedge against this buyers are said
