Are You the Man to Whom This I, Wirtten? If so. You Will
Know W liat to Do
In order for you to be cured, it Is no* only necessary
that the doctor who trears you should know aboslutely
the disease tvhich affetes you, but just how far that dis
ease and all its complications have undermined what is
called your general health.
, Can you tell, from your feelings, what vital organs or
your body your disease Is now attacking? You feel at

does not grasp things as it should, tha* your kidneys are
out of order, that your heart does not beat regularly.you

heal readily, that your appetite is fickle, that your bowels are Irregular, that
there is lameness and stiffness about your muscles and Joints, that there are
shooting pains in different parts of your body, that your feet and joints swell,
that your nights are disturbed by unnatural dreams, that you are startled by
common sounds, that you get dizzy and see spots floating before your eyes.
Every one of these symptoms means the serious progress of your disease.
You don'i want to experiment, you want to be cured. You want *o be rid of every
distressing symptom; you want to feel that vigor and enthusiasm which goes
with true healthy manhood; you want to be able to work and to enjoy.
I have treated cases like yours for 20 years; I know what your symptoms
mean, and 1 know that if you have not delayed too long, I can make you a
sound, well, vigorous man. fitted for the place in the world which nature Intended
for you. Other doctors send me their "hopeless'' cases knowing tha* I never fail
In any case which I undertake. I make a specialty of cases like yours—chronic
diseases which baffle the skill of other physicians.
Let rfie know about your case in fullest detail. Come to my office If you can;
If you cannot, write to me. Unless you take a course of treatment, it will cost
you nothing for my services—consultation and advice ore free. Possibly you need
no medicine; if not, I will tell you so and tell you what to do and you need pay
me nothing; possibly also, I cannot help you—lf not, I will tell you so frankly
and without fee.
A! most my charge will be merely a nominal one, which will be no financial
burden to you.
I have just published anew edition of my
Vigor, Health,” a copy of which I will be glad to stend you free, postpaid, if you
will send me your name and address.
You can judge much better what I can do for you, and so can I, after we
have had an Interview or corresponded with each other. '

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Matters of Interest In .shipping Men
Genera lly.
Most of the day was spent yesterday by
Capt. Daniels and his men at the Geor
gia and Alabama Railroad wharf, between
Barnard and Montgomery streets. In an
effort to launch the little boat to be used
for towing purposes by the railroad. The
lighter to be used as a ferry has been
about completed, and will probably be
read}’ to use by the time the boat is
launched and ready.
Getting the new’ bpat from the cars lo
the water was found to be a tedious task,
and one it took a number of laborers to
accomplish. Some of the overhead con
struction recently put up at the wharf,
had to be removed to allow sufficient room
to "skate" the boat into the water. It
was expected she would be launched on
the night tide, however, and would be
ready to take a party of officials about
the river early to-day.
The new boat is about sixty feet long,
and is equipped with a fore and aft com
pound engine, four by eight inches, and
seven-inch stroke. It carries 250 pounds
of steam.
The Georgia Lumber Company expects
a steamer from New York shortly, to take
a cargo of lumber to Cuba.
The steamboat inspectors have given
notice of their intention of inspecting the
steamer Alpha to-morrow.

CROPS IN FLORIDA.
Threatened tVrerflow of Rain Has
Ceased and Pronpectn Are Fair.
Sanford, Fla., June 28.—1 t seemed last
week as though we were to be flooded
with rain like the Georgia farmers and
fruit growers, but our downpour ceased
Sunday night, and iwo days of clear sun
shine have put things into very good
shape except on very low, w*et lands. Flor
ida seldom has overflows of a serious
character her rivers or lakes, and
her greatest damages come from tidal
waves and storms on the Gulf and Atlan
tic coasts. In fact, take her all in all.
our state suffers little from calamities
outside of an occasional freeze. It is no
doubt true that where one man gets dis
gusted or disheartened and moves out of
Florida, ten men come in to make good
his loss if his departure can be called a
loss. The steady increase in population
and farm products and business enter
prises is a substantial evidence that our
state more than holds her own.
The present season has been a good one
for truck farmers end fruit growers, ex
cept the backwardness of peaches on ac
count of frost lest winter. While the
crop is late and somewhat smaller than
usual, many of the growers have marketed
some very delicious early peechee. The
strawberry cror> also suffered somewhat
from the cold snap, yet a profitable crop
was shipped to Northern markets. A
good crop of pears in quality—though
smaller than usual in size of crop—is now*
nearly ready for shipment. There will be
very few guavas, and only a small crop
of oranges in Orange county. Many groves
are again in bearing in favored sections
of the county, and perhaps 4,000 boxes may
be marketed next winter. More work is
now being done on orange groves than
ever before since the freeze of two win
ters ago. The prospect of a mild winter
ahead has inspired the owners of these
neglected groves to make one more effort
in the direction of profitable orange cul
ture.
Most of the celery’ nven and lettuce
growers have made money this eason,
some of them “striking it rich.” Of
Mr. A. Robbins, late manager of the San
ford House, has been quite fortunate in
the superior quality of his products and
the high prices realized. He refused ?8.0r)
for his crop, but held it at $2,000 better.
His good luck has resulted in He pur
chase of the Florida House, a hotel near
the old Orange Belt Railway depot, with
spacious grounds surrounding it. Mr. Rob
bins proposes to utilize these grounds for
a thrifty celery farm, including leuuee.
etc., and by so doing he will add cons d?r
ably to city improvements. Of late 'here
has been a tendency to bring truck farm
ing within the city limits and thus utilize
large tracts of land that have beer, idle
for years. No Southern city can bo .st of
tit er vegetable gardens than Sanford can
show, and many of them are a source of
cash income to their thrifty owners. In
addition to supplying the home table.

Element Confident August Will

graphic Markets.
Morning News Office, June 2S.—The de-’
cline of Vfc-eent in the turpentine market
to-day indicates to some that there may
be a repetition of the closing experience
of previous mohths, Xvhen instead of a
stiffening in values by a demand for stuff
with which to fill contracts, this demand
is satisfied and the market declines. For
several days past it looked like the pric?
of turpentine was to be maintained the
balance of the month. As there are no
evidences of a squeeze, however, it is pos
sible any tendency for lower prices may
not be checked by the demand. Stuff is
beginning to move from the Gulf ports
North by coastiwse steamers. and it may
be the prospect of better facilities at these
ports for the shipment of naval stores is
having its effect.
The rosin market showed considerable
strength, advancing 5 cents at the opening
on F ar.d below. At the advance the mar
ket was bulletined firm, with a fair de
mand reported for the offerings. While
the extent of the damage by wet weather
is not known, it is estimated it will
amount to considerable, and may be felt
more later in a lessening of receipts.
The cotton futures market displayed
great strength as to the old crop months,
which advanced sharply, the closing show
ing June up 47 points, July 30 and August
34 point**. The old crops were steady at
a net decline of 4 and 6 paints. The ad
vance** in the near months led the local
element to freely predict 10 cents for Au
gust because of the support of the lead
ing influences. There is still much con
fusion as to the crop damage, however,
the trade everywhere still being undecid
ed in the absence of definite ciop news.
The wholesale markets were steady and
unchanged. Produce is in fair detnan 1.
though shipments of first quality ere not
such as to glut the market. Receipts of
fruits are in fair volume, with a good de
mand. The following resume of the dif
ferent markets will show the tone and
quotations:

Newt York. June 28.—Events of the day
on the Cotton Exchange were not cal
culated to clear up the confusion of opin
ions and mixed state of sentiment in gen
eral. The statistics came to the fore
front. and cut a leading influence In the
English and New- Orleans markets as well
es In local circles. A great stir of spin
ners and shorts In Liverpool for present
cotton crop caused one of the most sensa
tional advances in that market remember,
ed. which rise in turn caused a decided
uplift here and in the South. The far
months fluctuated in the reverse direction
In keeping with better weather reports
and predictions, and selling bv those hold
ers believing the market to be in a top
heavy condition as a result of the late
closing up of short accounts. At the time
of our opening values in Liverpool were 4
to 7 points up op near months, but 2% to
3 points off in fhe remote options. First
sales indicated an advance of 2 to 6 points
on old crop, and a decline of 4 to 9 points
on new crop cotton here, with the room
trader very much at see as to Just which
way to turn. The later reports from Liv
erpool increased the nervousness and con

Liquidation set in after the opening and

COTTOX LETTERS. .
New .York. June 28.—Hubbard Bros.
Cos. say: The feature of the day has been
the sharp advance in the nearby position®
ia Liverpool and here. This advance
abroad is due to the strong statistical po
sition cf that market and the attempt of
Liverpool operators to manipulate the
nearby positions. In this effort they hav®
been assisted by the corner in New Or
leans. which is attracting cotton to that
market that might otherwise go directly
to Liverpool The markets have paid little
a tention to-day to the clearing weather
reports over the cotton belt, but have
been governed by the strength in the
nearby months Shorts have covered free
ly in both markets while those who w'©r©
long of the distant deliveries have found
ii difficult to dispose of their holdings ex
cept at concessions. Outside of the manip
ulation the trade accounts have not been
in favor of cotton, but the feeling in the
trade is growing that the damage to th©
crop from recent rains is much more se
rious than thought.

s-etadier again on further covering by
shorts and new buying, led by Liverpool
and New Orleans.

Thursday, June 38.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE—The turpen
tine market showed considerable weakness
to-day by a decline of %c at the closing.
The opening was firm at 42% cents, with
sales of 282 casks reported, and the clos
ing firm at 42*4c, with further sales of 100
casks reported. While the exact cause of
the weakness was not apparent, it looked
like it wa ssuch as to carry the price
downward. A repetition of last month's
closing may be in store. It was then fac
to: s confidently expecied higher prices,
but instead declines came, which did not
stop until the price dropped below what
even buyers iookei for. The receipts to
day were 1,680, sales 362. and the exports
none.
ROSINS—The feature of the rosin mar
ket to-day was an advance of 5 cents on
F and below, which was posted at the
opening. At the advance the market
was posted firm, and indications pointed to
a strong position. The demand, however,
was only fair. The day's sales were 663
barrels. The receipts were 2.922 barrels,
