mortgage is a good thing to have in the

always a good thing on some other fel

negro labor, shows a falling off, too,
while the rice crop in Louisiana, grown
mainly by whites, is increasing. Cot
ton is raised over a large area in the
Smith, and the crop is now two-fifths
(2,000,000) larger than it was before the
war—and the increase is to be found
almost invariably in the localities where
white labor prevails. Some estimates
place the proportion of the Southern
cotton crop raised by white labor at
one-half. The truck-farming, dairying
and fruit growing that are coming to
the front as features in Southern agri
culture are exclusively in the hands of
white persons. These facts are re
markable when it is remembered that
the negroes have increased more rapid
ly than the whites and that several
years after the war they w T ere the only
farm-workers in many of the Southern
States.
Nothing is easier than to grow rich.
It is only to trust nobody—to befriend
no one—to get all you can and save all
you get—to stint yourself and every
body belonging to you—to be the friend
of no man, and have no man for your
friend—to heap interest -upon interest,
cent upon cent—tp be mean, miserable
and despised for twenty or thirty
years—and riches will come as sure
as disease, disappointment and death.
And when pretty nearly enough wealth
is collected by a disregard of all the
charities of the human heart-, and of
every decent, honorable and manly im
pulse, and at the expense of every en
joyment but that of counting the ac
cumulating dollars, death will finish
the work—the body be buried—the
heirs dance over the boodle that is left,
and the spirit will go{?)

That is to say, your lungs. Also all

derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, hut the thousands
of little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. ' And what they do, they cannot
do well.

floor, or staggered about it,* all night
long, scarcely able to hear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,
one of my little chiliUen would eat
more in a meal than I could in a day.
I would order food and then turn from
it in disgust. I lived on quinine and
other stimulants and on myself, like a
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in a whirl, and the liquor—given
as a medicine—made my stomach • so
sick I could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight)
I ran down to 97 pounds—the weight
of a light girl—and was scarcely better
than a skeleton.
If anybody had taken a hatchet and
knocked me aoicn and killed rue I should
have been better off.
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1880, my physician 'said:
“Miller, there’s no use in my taking
any more money of you; I can t do you
any good. I might pour pounds of qui
nine down your throat and it wouldn’t
help you.”
On the strength of this I gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
mv chances.
Three Aveeks afterwards—about the
last of May—my wife saw an advertise
ment of Kaskine in a NeAv York paper.
She told me of it. I said: “Stuff and
nonsense ! it can’t do me any good.”
But she went to a druggist’s, neverthe
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine; he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on it, etc.
He said he didn’t keen it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
ing aAvay in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor, Mr. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her a bottle at a drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, I began taking it. In
one week I Avas better. I began to
sleep. I stopped “seeing ghosts.” I
began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This Avas now the first of
June, 1886, and by the end of that
month I was back at my bench at C. P.
Smith’s scroll sawing factory on 116tli
street, where I work now.
Since then I have never lost a day
from sickness. Taking Kaskine only,
about forty pellets in four eoual doses
a day, I continued to gain. The mala
ria appeared to he killed in my system,
and now I’ve got hack my old weight-
175 pounds—and my old strength to la
bor. I am an astonishment to myself
and to my friends, and if Kaskine did
not do this I don’t know Avliat did. The
only greater thing it could do would be
to bring a dead man to life.

P. S.—For the absolute truth of the
above statement I refer to the follow
ing gentlemen, Ayho are personally ac
quainted with the facts: Mr. Alexan

Mr. John Lunny, 630 East 158th street ;
Mr. John Renshaw, 124 125th street,
and many others. I Avill also reply to
letters of inquiry.
We submit that the above astonish
ing cure, vouched for as it is by reputa
ble men, is deserving of a thorough and
candid investigation by thinking peo
ple. And Ave further submit that when
druggists tarn away customers by fal
sifying the character of a remedy be
cause they do not happen to have it on
hand, they do a great wrong. If this
afflicted man had not disregarded the
druggist’s advice and sent elsewhere
for the remedy he would without
doubt have been in his grave.
Other letters of a similar character
from prominent individuals, which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un
doubted merit, - will he sent on appli
cation. Price 81.00, or 6 bottles, $5,000.
