 H ESSAGES from seal There are two M or three hundred waiting delivery

Down by the docks, amid the mud and lumber of that wonderful place, is an unpreten- tious building, and in the vaults below, in catacomb of old clothes and queer baggage, are stocked the belongings of those who have gone down to the sea in ships and never returned

 That's 'im," says the wife, gulping down her sorrow; and the great bag Is pulled from It's resting place looking like badly packed Christmas stocking, warty and bulging in odd corners with the dead seaman's belongings. And on top are dashed his worn sea toots and a rough parcel in thin foreign paper which they found under the pillow In his bunk. Hard usage and sea spray have played havoc with the frail rice paper, and the secret that Bill was guarding so jealously appears In the form of a dainty faxen- haired doll, with mild blue eyes calculated to fascinate the heart of any little maid at sight.
 "Ah.' cries the woman, proud for the moment of her husbands remembrance, that's for Minnie; he said he would bring it-or send it," she adds with unconscious pathos, If he could not come himself,' and she hides the doll in her shawl, and in an outburst of emotion goes off with her find. and Bill disappears forever from his- tory.

Of Special to Women

There is hardly a day passes in which we are not called upon by some lady who tells us she has been ad- vised by some doctor to submit to a surgical operation as the only means of getting cured, but whom we find on examination, in a great majority of cases, to be suffering only with some form of functional affection, which, in truth, requires no surgical operation, but only mild, painless, ra- tional treatment at our hands to be cured.
 There are thousands of women be- ing operated on every year, hundreds of whom are killed and many lert maimed and ruined for the remainder of their lives, who could have been cured by proper treatment, such as we administer. Ladies should therefore avail themselves of our liberal free offer of examination and consult us before giving up in despair or of sub hitting to a surgeons knife. If your case is curable, we can cure you, and will tell you so. If not, we will not de- ceive you. We have cured and are still curing hundreds of women of the dis eases peculiar to their sex, as profuse and suppressed Menses, Leucorrhoea. Painful Periods, Bearing-down Pains, Backache, Burning Urine, Itching. Smothering, Congested Ovaries, and all manner of female weakness, and we effect our cures with safe, sane and painless treatments, which in many instances we only furnish, and which the patient uses at her own homo

500 or 600 Case. in Hartford.

These facts Dr. Hubbard dwelt on at considerable length, showing how the work is carried on in the crowded districts of New York's east side, and comparing the results obtained there with what might b. done in a city like Hartford, where there is plenty of sunshine, air, and room to spread out. In this city, he said, there are 800 or 500 cases that should have hospital treatment, and with event the most ordinary precautions of reporting cases to the board of health, of mak- ing the localities where the disease is found, of compelling the bed-ridden and helpless patients to go to an in- stitution for treatment, as is done in New York, by such methods as these, the city and all the cities of the state could decrease the death rate from the disease much more rapidly than has been done i'll New York.

Just what the results of this rigid inspection and enforcement of the law has been is manifest when one glances over the statistical record of the disease during the past ten or twenty years. In 1881, before any real inspection began, and when only a part of the cases were reported the deaths attributed to tuberculosis, were 6,123, in total population of 1,241,- 522 persons in Manhattan and the Bronx. In 1906, with population of 2,464,OOO the deaths actually re- ported were 6,696. In other words the death rate in 1881 with only part of the cases reported, was 4.91 per thousand and in 1906 1t was only 2.72, with all of the cases reported, Tn 1894 when the work of inspection first began the rate had dropped to S.1s, showing in the twelve years of constant inspection very rapid fall- ing off in the inroads of the disease.
