“LORD" PAGET OWNS UP.
He Telle Some of His Experiences at
Newport and Larchmont.
The bogus English Lord and confidence
crook, Ernest A. C. Paget, alias Charles
Evelyn Wood, alias Charles Manners, alias
Guerson, who created such a stir in New
port and other Northern watering places
last, summer, and who stopped at Savannah
on his way South, is now serving a thirty
dav> sentence in flie New Orleans police
jail as a dangerous and suspicious character.
The account of Paget's airest was given in
the Morvin’i. Nkws several days ago. The
first attempts to draw" him out after be was
arrested failed. He had very little to say
about himself, and refused to talk except
todeny that he was the individual described
as Paget. Ijetters which come addressed
to Paget were refused by him.
After awhile though, he became com
municative, and related some of his exiieri
ences. He said that he had adopted the
name of Paget lsvau.se it was that of a very
prominent English family, and would
doubtless give him the entree into society.
He had a jolly, good time at lioth Newport,
It. 1., and Larchmont, another watering
place, which he dewTilies a- most beautiful
At Larchmont he hired a yacht, the Ger
aldine. a oat-rigged boat, paying #lO a week
for the rent of the boat, lie bought a dog
cart and a tedm of fine horses, which he
drove tandem. He sailed over to Newport
from Larchmont and avers that he was re
ceived with open arms, was admitted to the
best society and the clubs, and that night
went to a hall at the Casino, where he was
introduced to everytsxly of consequence.
The next day he was fairly besieged
by invitations to visit the best
families there, and was kept busy answer
ing the* invitations. Affairs went on
swimmingly until the Duke of Marlborough
arrived, who knew- him personally and that
h was not what he represented himself to
be. He then concluded to Dave Newport
rather than meet his distinguished country
man. His finances were just then at then
lowest ebb and he left his bills unpaid and
Skipped.
Hr is now very anxious to get out of jail
and to shake the dust of the United States
from his feet forever.
IT WAS LOADED.
Johnnie Lueders Shot While Trying
to Look Through a Loaded Rifle.
Johnnie Lueders looked into the muzzle
of a loaded rifle yesterday and now lie wil
be laid up for some time with a wound in
bis jaw. Johnnie was with his father and
younger brother over on Hutchinson’s
Island. He had a small target rifle, and had
been shooting at a mark. After loading the
rifle he set it down, and with a stick pulled
back the hammer anil looked into the muz
zle to see if he could see through the loaded
I tile. The stick slipped off the hammer and
the cartridge was discharged. The
bullet struck Johnnie under the
jaw and tore through the flesh,
coming out just in front of his
ear. His father and younger brother
brought the lx>y across the river and took
him to the City Dispensary. Dr. Cass ex
amined the wound and sent the lioy to Dr.
Dunn, who dressed it. The bullet was a
small one and fortunately did not strike a
vital spot. It. w ill probably lie a long time
lof ore Johnnie will look into the muzzle of a
loaded rifle again.
READY TO GO TO TAMPA.
No Trouble to Get Nurses for the
Stricken Tampaites.
The call which appeared in the Morning
News yesterday for nurses to go to Tampa
brought any number of applications. Dr.
Duncan, to whom the call was addressed,
said last night that b hail had a large num
ber of applications from excellent nurses,
and he will have no difficulty in securing all
! hat are needed. They reported to him by
letter and in person. Thirteen applications
were received at the City Dispensary, and
among thorn was t lie offer of a well-known
physician, who will go if physicians are ac
tually needed. Dr. Duncan received no
new:, from Tainpa yesterday, bid lie expects
t< have some word from there to-day.
There is little or no alarm fell here over
the fever, and there is still a good deal of
doubt whether it is yellow jack or dengue
that is epidemic in Tampa. Savannah is
too far a way and the season is too far ad
vanced for any alarm to be felt in regard to
the spread of the disease.

The Grim Reaper Cuts Down a Well-
Known Member of the Bar.
J. J. Abrams. Esq., died yesterday morn
ing at 11:30 o'clock, after an illness of a few
hours. He had not been well for some time
fia.-t. and aliout a month ago he was con
tinea to his room for a couple of weeks.
Lately, however, he has been feeling better,
and iie thought lie \va- rapidly recovering
from his indisposition.
The first intimation of his final illness oc
curred while he was at breakfast at the
Screven House Saturday morning He was
sitting at a table eating some
gran*—, after having finished his breakfast,
and" was talking with some gentlemen
who wen* at the table with him. Suddenly
he grew pale. He reached for his cane and
attempted to rise, but fell hack into his
chair unconscious, He wa- removed to the
parlo>- and Dr. Nichols wa- summoned. Re
storatives were applied, and after awhile he
regained his consciousness, but a hemor
rhage from the stomach followed. He was
removed to his nioni, where he lay in
a critical condition all Saturday, and yes
terday morning. shortly after 11 o'clock,
another hemorrhage came on, and it proved
fatal. His family were with him at the
time of his death. His body was taken to
the home of his father, on Jones street,

Mr. Abrams began life as a clerk with the
old Ray street firm of C'lagbom & Cun
ningham. and when he was about of ag-- he
accepted a (sisition with the law firm of
Hartridge & Chisholm, with whom he was
reading when he was elected Justice of the
Peace. During liis incumbency of that
office he developed a natural aptitude for
the law, and after a course of study he was
admitted to the (>ar. He was very success
ful in his profession, and he secured a prac

was a member of the old fire department,
and for many years he was the Secretary of
the Metropolitan Steam Fire Engine Com
pany. He was in bis 43d year, and at the
time of his death he was engaged to be
married to a most estimable lady in ’ nns
wjek. His funeral will be announced to

TEN DAYS AT THE PUMPS.
The Bark Eliza J. McManemy Puts
Into Port in Distress.
The bark Eliza J. McManemy put into
Tyboe yesterday in distress and is leaking.
She left Pascagoula Sept. 13, bound for
Philadelphia, with a cargo of lumber, and
had been out twenty-three days. During
the past ten days the crew has been kept
constantly at the pumps. The vessel was
spoken on Saturday night aliout ten miles
off Tybee by "the pilot boat Sprite, Capt.
Michael Lyons, who did a very clever piece
of work in piloting her into Tybee without
going aboard of her. When spoken, the
captain of the bark stated that one of his
crew was sick with chills and fever
and this fact prevented the pi lot, from
boarding her. The captain of the bark was
afraid that his vessels would fill with water
if the crew ceased working at the pump.
The men were already pretty well exhaust
ed, the three putnjis having l>een going for
ten days and Pin nights, and the pilot!>oat of
fered to lay-by all night, and finally agreed
to pilot the vessel into Tybee, she follow
ing in the wake of the pilotlsiat, and by the
waving of lights. The bark was run ashore
on a mud bank in the channel, just above
Tybee wharf. She had live feet of water in
her hold last night. The captain will do
nothing until he bears from the vessel’s
owner, Capt. J. B. Fennimore, of Philadel
phia, to whom he telegraphed yesterday.
better Signals needed.
An International Maritime Convention
to be Called.
The holding of an International Maritime
Convention to improve the defective sys
tem of fog signals is being agitated by mari
ners and vessel owners. The present regu
lations require that in fog or mist a steam
ship under way shall make with her steam
w histle, or other steam sound signal, at in
tervals of not more than two minutes, a
prolonged blast: a sailing vessel under way
shall make with her fog-horn, at intervals
of not more than two minutes, when on the
starboard tack one blast, when on the port
tack two blasts in succession, and when
with the wind abaft the beam three blasts
in succession: a steamship and sailing ship
when not under way shall, af intervals of
not more than two minutes, ring the liell.
The defect of the signals is that tnoy do not
indicate the course of the ship. Anew code
which will indicate whether the vessel is
moving north, south, east, or west is
needed.
NOT AFRAID OF YELLOW JACK.
What an Advertisement in the “Want”
Column Brought Out.
\\yANTED, a man who lias been through yet
low fever epidemic to go to Tainpa and
guard store. Address quick. Y. B. C., this office.
This advertisement appeared iu the
“Want” column of the Morning News
yesterday. Before noon sixteen sealed re
plies were received at the Mousing News
counting room and there were five pei-sonal
applications. The notice cost the
advertiser 34c., and he got his
money’s worth out of it. The fact
of so large a mmilier of applications being
received for the place is pretty good evi
dence that the reported yellow fever will
not keep outsiders away from Tampa if it
does drive into the woods’a good many peo
ple who are already there. “Y. B. C.” will
have very little trouble in getting his store
guarded if yellow fever is the only obstacle
in the way.
NOTEB ABOUT THE HARBOR.
Happenings Among the Shipping and
Along the Wharves.
The Norwegian bark Frey. Capt,
Abrahamson, from Liverpool for Charles

South of Tybee.
The British steamship Carthagena ar
rived yesterday from Philadelphia. She
will probably load cotton for Liverpool.
She is a very large vessel being 1,533 tons

The work of discharging the steamship
Naples is still going on, hut the stench from
the cotton is almost intolerable, and the
workmen say that it will not Im surprising
if it does not create sickness among the
longshoremen and the crew. The Resolute’s
hold is also in a very filthy condition, from
the same cause. Although all the cotton
has boon discharged, the smell is very bad.
The Fight Over the Site.
Editor Morning News: If proximity to
the miriness portion of the city and price of
lot be desiderata, rather than have these
factions extinguish themselves like the Kil
kenny cats, i can name a position that will
answer all purposes—th<Dimran residence,
corner Bryan and Aberrorn streets, contain
ing two lots and the adjoining lot on Rrvan,
all of which can be secured for about $30,000
or less.
There is anude room in every way to suit
the requirements and meet the conditions of
the government—lßo feet on Bryan by 00
feet on Alioreorn.
Why not make a move for this, if the
saving of 337,000 in the purchase of the
ground is an object! Sassafras.
The Havana Cyclone.
The cyclone which was reported off
Havana on Friday was felt at Key West
yesterday, and a heavy rain was reported
from there last night. Signal Officer
Banner says that the storm will hardly
touch here. It will most likely be dissipated
at sea. The Western Gulf stations have
felt its influence, however, and high winds
are reported.

SOME FAST RUNNING.
The Fastest Time Ever Made by a
Southern Railroad.
Railroads all over the South are just now
all claiming the credit of having made the
fastest time on record. The South Carolina
railway has just made a record that is
pretty hard to lieat. The run was made
last week from Columbia to Charleston. It
was at the time of the landslide at Saluda,
and the train was run as a special to bring
down the delayed passengers from Asheville.
The train left Columbia at 1413 p. ni. with
engine number No. hi in front of it, and
Engineer Brisnenden at the lever, and rolled
into the Charleston depot at 3:53, making
the distance of 130 miles in 170 minutes, in
cluding eight stop*.
This record for long distance running has
probably never been surpassed at the South,
exec] >t in one instance on the Georgia rail
road. It was during the Blaek-Cnlquitt
campaign for United States Senatorship,
says the Augusta Chronicle, when Maj.
Black was to address the members of the
1 legislature. A special train was made up
for a number of citizens who wished to go
iqi to hear him. The trip from Augusta to
Atlanta, a distance of it 1 miles, was made
in three bout's and twenty-five minutes,
with nine stops, seven of them long ones.
From Conyers to Atlanta, a distance of
thirty-one nnlps, six stations were passed
and the run made in thirty-four minutes.
This is the liest known record made in the
South, but it is very little ttetter than that
made by the South Carolina road. In the
ease of the latter eight stop* were made,
one of seven, one of four minutes, and the
rest of one minute each, so that the actual
running time was 153 minutes. The dis
tance from Columbia to Orangeburg, s*l
miles, was made in fifty-one minutes.
The best known record for long distance
running on the Atlantic Coast Line was
made last winter by a delayed fast mail
train, which covered the distance of 165
miles between Weldon and Wilmington in
308 minutes. The special relief train sent
out from Charleston by the Northeastern
railroad on the night of the disaster at the
Santee trestle, sped on its mission at the
rate of nearly a mile a minute. The dis
tance from Ashley Junction to Monck's
Corner, twenty-four and a half miles, was
run in twenty-five minutes. The train con
sisted of two coaches and an engine.
GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
Supts. Starr, of the Fort Royal and West
ern Carolina railroad, Kline, of the South
western railroad, and McClintock, of the
Columbus and Western railroad, are in the
city.
Work on the eastern end of the new rail
road will begin this morning about two
mili from the Savannah, Florida and
Western junction. The first camp will be
pitched on the Owens plantation.
Passenger representatives on all lines
south of the Ohio river met on Friday with
representatives of the Ohio river pool at the
Grand Hotel in Cincinnati, for the purpose
of conferring in regard to tourists’ rates to
Florjda this season.
The first case in which violation of the
interstate law has been taken before a
United States Court, instead of the com
mission. is up in Minnesota. Complaint
was made by a farmer, and a station agent
was put under bonds to apiiear in the Dis
trict Court. He would not transfer wheat
from the Manitoba to the Northern Pacific
tracks.
Poor’s Railway Manual just, issued puts
the total railroad mileage of the United
States at the close of I*B6 at 133,607 miles.
Its cost measured by the amount of stocks,
bonds anil debt, was about $8,163,148,653.
The gross earnings were $822,191,049, an in
crease over 1885 of $56,881,530; the net
earnings. $307,311,415, or 36.16 per cent, of
the gross. For interest, $189,036,304, and
for dividends, $81,654,138 were paid.
There are two plans now being discussed
to complete the Rome and Decatur railroad
from Rome to Gadsden, by the parties in
terested. One is to take up all the old
bonds and issue new ones, and the bond
holders to furnish money to complete the
railroad, and the other is to appoint a re
ceiver for the entire railroad, who will be
authorized, with the consent of the credi
tors, to issue certificates to complete the
railroad. The work and present property
of the road amounts to between $500,000
and $600,000.
The salaries of presidents and general
superintendents of railways range from
$6,000 and SIO,OOO to $30,000, but these large
sums are not considered enough to re
munerate receivers appointed by courts to
take charge of bankrupt roads for the bene
fit of the creditors. This subject recently
came tip in the United States Circuit Court
at St. Louis, when a claim of $113,500 for
each was put in for the services of two re
vivers appointed by the court for the
Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific railroad.
The allowance made by the court was at
the rate of $34,700 each per annum, the
period of service having extended a little
over two years.
The Lumpkin Independent says that sev
eral hundred bales of cotton were com
pressed at Amerieus last week, preparatory
to being shipped over the Amerieus, Pres
ton and Lumpkin railroad to Abbeville,
where it will In* loaded upon the company's
steamer, and from thence it will be taken
down the Oemulgee river, via Darien to
Savannah. So, it remarks, we have at last
a through line to Savannah over the Ameri
cus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad and
steamers. It is expected that by next week
a through passenger train will be put on
the line between Louvale and Abbeville.
The Amerieus, Preston and Lumpkin may
still lie called a baby but it is growing so
fast that we think it entitled at least to the
bondreeches.

abeth will be repeated. Iu Charleston Mrs.
Bowers lws just closed a very successful en
gagement. The Ac it's and Courier
critic says that her “Queen Elizabeth” is
the creation of an artist of eminent dra
matic powers. Her “Elizabeth” is the
Elizabeth of Oiaceommetti’s play, and the
key-notes of the character are sounded in
the opening scene of the drama. As the
sovereign she is to lie an eagle, as a woman
she is to be alternately n butterfly or a
viper. On these lines and within these lines
Mrs. Bowers portrayed the “virgin” Queen
with signal ability. She has a strong com
pany. and the "ale of seats assures her good
houses. Mrs. Bowers was I looked to appear
here last season, but her wardrobe and
those of her company were lost in the burn

were canceled.

! TWO GAMES AT NEW ORLEANS.
| Memphis Shut Out In the First and
Beaten in the Second.
New Orleans, Oct. 0. — New Orleans
1 wound-up the season by batting all three of
: the Memphis pitchers so hard that the
twirlers were heart-broken. Aliout 6.(100
; people saw the two games, and left with
j the idoa that New Orleans deserved the
I pennant. The local club played brilliant,
nail in the morning. Powell pitching
bis liest game this season,
and getting perfect support, while Smith
was slugged at the right time. Crotty made
one wild throw when the bases were full
which allowed all three nmners to score.
The home players ran I a~es with such itaring
that Memphis was completely rattled,
i In the evening the liatting was harder on
I Imth sides, but New Orleans hammered
Black out of the liox. and then made
i George McKeough feel weak. Dave Mc-
Keough caught finely. MeAleer was oiT in the
i second game, but Andrews, Fuller, Phelan,
Geiss and Cline did brilliant work. Cart
wright although so lame that he could not
run covered first base in both games in
good style. Peltz was hurt in the morning
and did not play in the evening. A feature
in the evening game was the i-ontest for the
Jennie Yeamans medal for the most runs.
It became a due: between Bradley
and Geiss and Geiss won it,
scoring four runs and Bradley making
three. The victory of Geiss was due mainly
to Bradley’s terrific slugging, which was
one of the features. Geiss got to first
twice on tolls and once on Baker's muff.

New Designs in Jewelry.
From the Baltimore Sun.
In lace pins and brooches the favorite pat
terns just now are in the shape of flowers,
enameled in their natural colors and having
either diamond dew drops or other gems set
upon them. Some of the pansies lately
shown are apparentjy too delicate to handle,
so natural is the soft, velvety texture and
color imitated by the enameler. Chrysan
themums,bundles of white and purple violets,
apple blossoms, primroses and begonias are
the most popular of these goods. A peculiar
pin is of oxidized silver and consists of three
crescents placed lengthwise on a bar, the
centre one being half an inch below the
other two The surface of the crescent is
hammered, and upon the centre one sits a
solemn owl in repose with large topaz eyes.
Within the crescent at the right is a flying
silver bat, whose sparkling ruby eyes are
extremely realistic. In the crescent at the
left is shown a flying niglitha wk with eyes
of snapping diamonds. A star sapphire in
a daisy of diamonds also makes an exceed
ingly handsome brooch, while bugs and
beetles, whose bright colors are carried out
on wings, body and thorax by gems of ap
propriate color, can be seen in great variety.
Advice to Those Traveling in SI eepers
From the Medical and Surgical Reporter.
For men a light cap, one that will cover
over the ears, so as to serve as a nightcap,
will lie desirable. In cold weathera woolen
cap is best. This cap should be put on as
soon as the car is entered. A loose blouse
should take the place of the coat usually
worn. Slippers must not be worn. If there
is a draft in the car, face it; do not let it
strike the back. Have the bed made with
its head toward the engine: the dust will
then lie driven to the foot, where it will do
the least harm. But lie sure to have a
sufficient quantity of bed clothes to keep
warm. A soft, loose-knit woolen hood is
the best head wear for women; thus should
lie worn at night also. It should be warmer
in winter than in summer months. The
corsets should be removed at night and a
loose woolen wrapper worn for a night-dress.
The stocking supporters, as well as every
constricting band around the w aist, should
be loosened. Every adult should take from
five to ten grains of quinine on going to
bed. It will be well to rub the hands, feet,
face and neck with a little vaseline at the
same time.
A World of Homo Comforts.
Messrs. Lindsay & Morgan have un
doubtedly a most elegant display of goods
in their warerooms this season. Every de
sign in furniture and upholstery seems to be
represented in their mammoth stock, and
the beauty and comfort one can obtain for
his home, for so moderate a sum of money,
is really wonderful. Carpets, in warm and
inviting patterns, rugs, curtains and a
thousand other household articles combine
to make a visit to this establishment de
cidedly pleasant and profitable.

WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Uses to Which it is Put by People
Who Believe in Its Curative Quali
ties.
From Harper's Magazine.
Ordinary drinking water, if taken in large
quantities, nets as a solvent and a diuretic
and also increases the perspiration if the
temperature of the air be high. Taken in
the quantity of one or two quarts at a time
the diluent effect of water is often sufficient
to eliminate an excess of alcohol from the
blood, as after taking too much wine.
Another effect of large draughts of water
is to make the pulse slower and to djrnin
ish slightly the normal temperature of the
body.
increase in weight has been claimed as a
result of systematic water-drinking on re
tiring for the night. The latest researches
do not tiear out this conclusion. Water
thus taken will prevent any actual loss of
weight, but it is not shown that it will do
anything more. With the addition of a
moderate stimulant, however, it has often a
decidedly fattening effect.
Swallowed as hot as it can be borne, pure
water has lately come into some vogue as
an efficient remedy for dyspepsia and rheu
matic ailments, and for reducing the obesity
consequent upon idle habits and overeating.
It is not yet shown that these effects are
caused by the hot water. I have seen cases
in which this treatment, conjoined with a
diet almost exclusively composed of lean
meat anil stale bread, has been followed by
a great reduction of the invalid’s weight;
but this result seemed to me due to the
withholding of superabundant food from
the patient, and not to any positive virtue
in the hot water Itself. In dyspepsia the
hot water treatment sometimes succeeds for
the same reason Nature, if given a chance,
has a good deal to say in the cure of the
ailments that result from the misuse of the
digestive organs. But this treatment has
the double advantage of giving the dis
turbed stomach comparative rest, and of
gently stimulating it to the digestive duties
that it cannot wholly forego, unless the
patient is to be sustained by faith alone.
Of the internal use of mineral waters this
is not the occasion to speak.
Trees That Abound in Paris.
Paris Dupatcli to the London Doit;/ Telegraph
Many of the chestnut which are
planted in the Champs Elysees and other
parts of Paris have this year lost their
leaves before the usual time and donned
fresh foliage. This change usually takes
place about- Oct. 15, and tne fact that it has
occurred at the present time is regarded as
the sign of a rigorous winter. In connec
tion with the Paris trees 1 see that some in
terested person has taken the trouble to
controvert the fact that planes abound in
the Place de la Roquette, as was stated in
the account which appeared in your columns
of a recent execution. Now, it is well
known that the place in question, as well as
the adjacent boulevards, are thickly
planted with planes, sumacs and syca
mores, the first named being tbe most
numerous. Any one who is curious on the
subject of Paris trees can get full informa
tion at the School of Arboriculture, where
he will be told that planes abound in nearly
every quarter of Paris where a green leaf is
to be seen. Thev are to be found, for in
stance, on the Roulevards de la Madeleine
and the Capueines, on the Boulevard Hauss
mann, the Roulevard Beaumarchais, the
Boulevard Richard Renoir, and the Place de
la Bastille. The Avenue des Champs Ely
sees is, of course, famous for its ehesnuts,
which also predominate on the aristocratic
Boulevard. St. Germain and on the busy
Place de la Bourse. Next in number come
the sycamores, acacias, sumacs, and elms.
The introduction of trees into the city was
mainly the idea of M. Bergman, who is now
Superintendent of Baron James de Roth
schild’s gardens and conservatories at Fer
rieres. and whose son, M. Ernest Bergman,
is Secretary of the French Horticultural
Society.
Lung Troubles and Wasting
diseases can be cured, if properly treated in
time, ns shown by the following statement
from I). C. Freeman, Sydney: “Having
been a great sufferer from pulmonary at
tacks, and gradually wasting away for the
oast two years, it affords me pleasure to
testify that Scott's Emulsion - of Cod Liver
Oil with Lime and Soda has given me great
relief, and I choerfully recommend it to all
suffering in a similar way to myself In
addition, 1 would say that it is very pleas
ant to taka”
DR. WHITEHEAD’S REMEDY.
Prickly Ash, Poke Root, Potassium
(P. P. P.i—The Greatest Tonic and
Blood Purifier of the Age.
This preparation is not a secret or so
called “patent medicine,” but is a compound
of the best known vegetable alteratives
(prickly ash, poke root, stillingia, sarsapa
rilla, gentian, etc.), and has that peer
less alterative, iodide of potassium, added
to it.
There is no argument necessary to estab
lish the fact that if the blood is impure
health is impossible. Every intelligent per
son knows that the blood is the life current,
and any taint in it must of course be inju
rious to the body. Blood impurities may
manifest themselves in various shapes.
Sometimes it is rheumatism, sometimes
scrofulous troubles, again in glandular
swellings, ulcers, sores, boils, skin erup
tions, scalp diseases and various external
warnings tell us “the blood is impure.”
Sometimes an internal orgnn is the seat of
the trouble —the kidneys, the liver or tbe
lungs give way, and then we have serious
trouble, for “the blood is the life.”
Dr. YVhitehead has made a study of this
class of diseases for years, and offers this
preparation to the public as a reliable and
powerful blood purifier and tonic.
N. B—P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root
and Potassium) is now on sale in almost
every store where medicines are kept. Do
not be put off by dealers, who have not the
remedy on sale, with “something just as
good as P. P. P.,” or “better than P. P P.,”
for there are no such goods. Buy the gen
uine P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and
Potassium), and you will not be disappoint
ed in its results. If you cannot find it in
your neighborhood, send to us direct and
we will forward it to you by exuress. Re
member it is a fluid extract, made from the
Green Roots and Barks, and is very strong.
It does not take thirty to fifty bottles of it
to effort a cure; two to tour bottles are suf
ficient to do the work; one bottle will show
i!s wonderful effect*.
Asa general tonic in low states of health,
especially weak and debilitated females, it
has no equal. The P. P. P. M’k’g Cos.,
