People Don't Know what to Do.

VIII IN person gets sick abed with
fever, he invariably sends for the fam
ly physician, but the average person
who Is afflicted with some nervous,
chronic or lingering affection, knows
that his family doctor does not make
a speciality of treating such cnsee, does
not know how to cure them, in fact,
and it is therefore true that not one in
hundred persons thus afflicted knows
what to do or to what doctor to apply
for treatment and cure. They no not
want to continue to suffer; indeed, they
urgently desire to get back their
health; but they cannot afford to pay
the big fees charged by eminent spec
ialists, and so they remain uncertain
what to do. To such the offer of the
famous specialist. DR.. Greene, 80 West

ed Mr.. Withrow, with animation. 1--WE
could get on our horses, and for three
days we could ride on that vein of ore
and not reach the end of it. People
generally don It know anything about
this. Outside Virginia little or moth
ing is known of the minerals in Vir-
ginia. The railroads have done far
more to disseminate information on
the subject than the State has.
II heard the late Major Hotchkiss,
of Staunton, who knew more about
Virginia ores than anybody in the
State, say that our chief wealth was
our minerals, but that few people knew
anything about them. They have
hardly been touched. Major HOtch-
kiss desired above all things to have
complete geological survey of the State
made, and used his influence, but with
out success, to have the Legislature
make the necessary appropriation. We
want capital to come into Virginia and
develop our mineral deposits" con-
cluded Mr.. Withrow, "but it will new
er, never do it until capital knows
what we have got to develop. Capital
won't know until we haYe told them.
An accurate geological survey is the
best way, about the only way, in which
to tell them.''
Mr.. Koiner, Commissioner of Agri- |
culture, is very much in earnest about |
securing an appropriation for sur

induce the Legislature to grant it,
lie regards it as one of the most i'm
'ortant present needs of the State.
Nearly every day the Commissioner
ecelves one or more letters asking for
Information regarding the minerals of
'irglnia. He also frequently receives
pecimens of ores for assay. Some of
hese are very fine. The other day Mr..
Aoiner received specimen of IRON

e very fine. He wrote to the gentle
Ian, asking him ho " much ore he had
