During this history of conflict with
this terrible disease frequent consul
tations were held, but nothing
checked the steady progress of her
malady. Not a doubt had existed in
the minds of her physicians or. friends
as to the nature of her disease. nor
as to it's fatal termination. The re-
peated examinations of her lungs in
dictated the rapid strides with which
she was nearing the end
Her physicians were honored mem
bers of the medical fraternity, in
whom Mrs. Eberlein's husband and
family had perfect confidence. And
the sorrow with which they listened
TO their decision that they had eX-
hausted everything known to them in
vain for the relief of the wife and
mother of the afflicted household can
be better imagined than described.
AS is common to this sort of pa
tents, Mrs. Eberlein continued hope
full long after her attendants believed
her to be beyond cure.
1 was practicing at the time in
Pittsburg, and a fancy that 1 would
be able to relieve her was, during her
illness, repeatedly expressed by Mrs.
Eberlein, but it was regarded as the
merest whim: and, as they were en-
ploying the best medical talent the
city afforded, no attention was paid
to it. At last she became SO weak
constantly at hand to lift her during
the terrible coughing spells to which
she was subject and which were fire.
quentIy followed by alarming sinking
spells, during which she was often
thought to be dying 1t was during
one of these frightful paroxysms
when her husband was supporting
her tenderly and vainly trying to pail
late her sufferings that she again
expressed her belief that if DR.. Hart
man were sent for he could relieve
her.
Willing to indulge her in any wish,
as she was thought to be dying by
all. I was Immediately sent for, but
being very busy was not able to re-
spond until late in the evening of the
afternoon on which I was sent for.
1t was not expected that she would
survive until I could reach her home,
but hope kept her alive until I came.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
to undertake to cure than Mrs. Eber-
lein's at the moment of my first visit.
Let me describe her symptoms.
A drawn, pinched countenance, of
a deathly pallor, and livid lips
Sunken, fixed, staring eyes, with a
CLASSY brightness. Wasted in body
to a. mere shadow. Pulse wholly inn
perceptible at the wrist. but the heart
feebly f1uttering. Extremities cold
and clammy, finger nails blue, breath |
ing hurried and gasping, utterly ex-
seemed as if I had only arrived in |
time to see her die.
The first question of the distracted |
husband was: rs my wife dying?'
But my undaunted faith in the eff |
cacy of Pe-ru-na is such, even in |

CHOP THEIR WAY OUT.
Two Policemen Lured to Gas Filled
Rooms by Chinese.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 3.-Chinese
gamblers last night lured two police
officers into Imprisonment in gas-filled
chambers, there to be asphyxiated.
Each of the men carried a small axe
and chopped holes through the walls to
obtain air and aid. Corporal Golf the
first victim, was walking alone when a
Chinese brushed by him and whispered,
''Pi Cow, in Siberia club
Without waiting to call a squad. Golf
rushed to the club. He thrust aside the
doorkeeper. AS the door. swung back,
he heard bolts click and simultaneous
ly the gas lights went out. Trying the
door, he found himself imprisoned in a
narrow hallway feet long, and found
that gas was rushing from the open jets
he could not reach. After fifteen -1in-
utes' work with his axe he cut through
the wall and was rescued.
Officer Bailey was trapped similarly
in another club at almost the same
time

Quit His Job.

Chicago, Dec. Announcement of
what action he will take with refer
ence to the request for the removal
of his headquarters as president of the
Western League will be made by
Zip O'NeiI on January 1. The vet

made this statement today, but he
declined to divulge the nature of his
decision.
THAT will be my New Years pres

O'NeI.
AT the meeting of the league in Mil

have been practicing medicine
since 1856. Most of that time I have
been using Pe-ru-na as my principal
remedy So many unexpected recov-
cries have been made by those for
whom L have prescribed Pe-ru-na that
it would take large book to contain

my mind one by one. Whether on my
farm, or at home, whether playing
with my grandchildren or conducting
my large Office business these Incl
dents of old-time Pe-ru-na cures steal
IN upon my memory unawares.
Take, for instance, a single case
from the extensive list of similar
cases in my diary of cases treated,
as an example of the cures that Pc

Mrs. T. s. Eberlein (then of Pitts
burg, Pa, afterwards of Keokuk.
1owa), during the year 1882 began to
develop usual symptoms of catarrh of
the lungs. Cough was one of the first
symptoms, which gradually grew worse
in spite of all treatment. The sputa,
at first slight, became abundant and
purulent, occasionally streaked with
blood. A rapid loss of flesh and flag
ging appetite filled her relatives with
forebOdings. The hectic flush, night
sweats, and suppression of the menses,
left no doubt as to the nature of her
disease.
From the first physicians had been
employed. Cough medicine, tonics
cod liver oil and stimulants were re-
sorted to by her physicians without
avail.
The fist physician employed was
DR.. Williams, Penn Ave, Pittsburg;
DR.. Clifford, of Allegheny City, was
next called; and then DR.. Riggs, of
Pittsburg.
