THE PORTERFIELD ASSIGNMENT.
II Did Not Greatly Affect Richmond
ers-MilI PAY Out.

The assignment OF W. \. Porterfield &
Co., stock brokers, Of Washington. with
branch Offices in Richmond. Petersburg
and Newport News did not greatly affect
any one here. the amount of their liabili-
ties to citizens Of this city being only
about 5000 or $1,000.
II is believed that the firm will pay
dollar for dollar Mr. r. r. Wilson, the
firms Richmond manager, said yesterday
that he thought business would be re-
sumcd in two or three weeks.
The failure is said by Mr. Porterfield TO
be due to the false reports circulated by
enemies who wished TO drive him out Of
business. Following Is a statement re-
garding the assignment telegraphed by
Mr. Porterfleld from Washington. and
posted in the Office Of the firm here yes
terday
Through the unkind efforts of our
enemies. II has been reported that we are
weak. \ run for past three days has
hurt us, as our money is scattered in diff
ferent banks and with private individuals
After working day and night Tor a week
we have concluded il best for ourselves
and our customers TO make an assign
ment We think the assignees will be
able to settle dollar for dollar. All bust
ness will be closed on opening. The as
siPnees will wire you instructions i'm
few minutes. Wv. y. Il. a CO"
No deed OF assignment will be filed in
this city, this being only a branch office.
The Washington deed is ample TO cover all
the assets OF the firm.

Cold, Damp Weather Ag-
gravates the Disease.

Cold, damp and disagreeapie
weather is dreaded by those sub
iect TO Rheumatism, for the slight
est change in the atmosphere OF
temperature is sure to increase
their suffering. A great many
who experience little difficulty
from rheumatism during the
summer months are likely to be-
lieye themselves rid of the disease,
but with the first cold, damp day
their aches and pains return and
they soon find themselves firmly
in the grasp of their old enemy,
who tortures them more than
ever.
Several years ago l was afflicted
with what the doctors called Sciatic
rheumatism or Lumbago, suffering the
most intense agony at times, and Deing
confined to my bed about year, al
though four OF the best physicians Zone
of whom was my fnther) attended me
during my illness. They could give me
only temporary relief, and l think they
tried about all of the remedies known
10 medical science, dosing me with
strong medicines until my stomach got
in such n condition that could digest
nothing. and neither myself nor friends
had any hope of my recovery: was
persuaded to try S. S. s., and before
finishing the first bottle, | found that l

4 Great CIcrgymnn's Idea Of Bene-
fuctOr.

A great clergyman has said: "The earn
est physician who saves life and health
Is the greatest benefact0r Of his race"
We believe this. but we also believe that
a great physician becomes still more OF a
benefactor of the people when he gives
his skill his advice and counsel 10 the
sick without charge. This IS precisely
what IS done by the famous DR.. Greene,
OF 35 west Fourteenth street. New York
city, discoverer of the wonderful medi-
cine, DR. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. and who Is the best known
and certainly the most successful physi-
clan In this country i'm curing diseases
The sick and those I'm any way out Of
health have the privilege OF consultation
and receiving advice and counsel from
this eminent physician without paying
fee. That is. YOU can write about your
case and receive carefully considered adj
vice and information In regard 20 your
complaints without charge of any kind.
He uses only harmless vegetable RENE
dies i'm his treatment Of diseases, and it
is by means Of these wonderful health
giving medicines that he is enabled %
make the marvellous and astonishing
cures which have made his name a house
hold word all over the United States
Write 10 him at once. for this is certainly
your great opportunity 10 be cured.
