It it not the result of theory it is the obild of experience. Dr. Kooh's lymph is not an antiseptia It Is not olaimed to bs tuoh by the discoverer or manufacturer. Honoe it cannot oure. It has succeeded in no well authenticated case.

We have a report, first, that a oertain person hat been inoculated, that the lymph has been injected beneath the patient's akin; second, that he is doing very well; third, that ths reaction is oompiete: fourth, that he has a high fever; fifth, that the doctors are delighted) sixth, that he is dead. This lrmph is about to taka its plaoa with Browu-Sequord's Elixir of. Idfo. Old men take the elixir snd they eud-denly become vigorous enough to leave the world. Nature has shown ms that diseases must be oured in another way.

AU that is necessary is to reyorso ths process ot destruction. Nature destroys one Ilfs through the sgenoy of another life. Destroy this other life and the disease is cured. But yon must not destroy the seoond life with a third, like Dr. Koch, because that In turn would have to be destroyed, Iu this nature has been my It Is in her bgok that I have read, and for that reason I am not going by theory or guesswork.

Neither am I making experiments on ahi mats or criminals. I have not sought with knives for the origin of disease in the living flesh of my fellow being. Nothing oan bo found in that way. Thera la a vasUdifferenoe between animals and men, as there is a vast difference between fruit trees and the trees of the forest and between fruit trees themselves. You oannot graft a peaoh on an oak, neither jan you insert a peach bud in the apple tree.

No fruit oan be obtained In thie way. The reason is obvious. The- struoture and tap of one tree may be widely different from those of another and yet the difference may not bo aa great as that whioh exists between a man and a guinea pig. Dr. Kooh experimented with the guinea pig, taking it for granted that men and piga are substantially tha Yet he oured no guinea piga of consumption.

have smallpox are not vaocinati, because vaocinatiou not a eure it ia a sventive; people are vaooinated who have none smallpox. and ths objeot is to prevent ttr having the smallpox. Dr. Kooh gives huymph to people who have tha consumption, it to those who nre well. In other words, hilymph is not preventive, but he elaims it Iba a oure.

It will thus be teen that there iso possible parallel between vaooine matter a opr. Kochs lymph. Bat the dootora now take the found the lymph having failed to oure tH even if it doea not onre it is of great value tllagnosing diseaee.Xy'e must remember, hojver, that to diagnose a disease is one tbinj to onre it quite another, Tbe diagnosis nr be perfeot and the result of the remedy ms be death. If the remedy is right it makes difference whether tbe diagnosis waa right wrong. If wo know what will onre disoaseslmakea bnt little difference to ns what the one ot a particular 'isense is; but if do kno the oanae and tne remedy there la no need okiagnosing eaoh partioular caae.

More than three years ago I annsnoad that I had found the eauae of diaeasi and the remedy, end up to the present me I have found no disease which, if taken anything like reasonable time, oould not be oiled by my remedy. I find that aU disease ia aolmpanied by microbes, which start formentiou, and that without mlcrobea and fermentaion there no disease Of course, it makes in difference whether this fermentation is sotolntely the cans there must be something behind the fermentation bnt wbat I say is tint fermentation aooompanies all disease. Thia was th oonolaslon to whioh I arrived, jround.The problem ia to give enough to stand I then said if I oould find a preventive or tbey oall a oure without giving may be that he killed great nnmbera of these innooent animals, but certain it is that he effected no, ourea. Ho, reaohed th wonderful proposition that that which will oanae tnbsroulosU in a guinea pig will onre a like disease in a human being. Would it not have been better if Dr.

Kooh had found something that would Pure guinea pigs and then tried that oure on a human being What possible objeot ean there be in giving disease to animals, aod what light oan this possibly throw on the oure of diseases of men Cut a portion, no matter how deceased, from the body of a leper and place it in Radama lliorobe Killer and you will find that the pro-tess of deoay is arrested, beoauee fermentation las been stooped. Take a piece qf meat, no matter in what stage of decay it may be, pnt it in the Microbe Killer and it remains as it was. Ihia shows that the Miorobe Killer haa in-itantly stopped fermentation, and for that taaaon and no other has arrested decoy, Bo, if fermentation alwaya accompanies disease, and if there is no disease without fermeu-iation it muat of necessity oure the And this fermentation ia stopped by the destruction of ita cause that is to say, by the destruction of certain forms of life, and not only kills tha forms of life but all germs, so that the person remain Well until like cause again produce what is kbown as disease, whioh will again be aocompanied by fomentation and oen again be destroyed by. the use of Bedams Miorobe Killer. Mostof the medicines giyen by physieiana are poisons, and if taken in large quantities necessarily produoe death, and physicians are consequently always treading on dangeroua sing and dance; the Herbert Brothers will do an aorobatio act; tne Vidooqa will present oneoftneir uproarious, but funny sketches; the Miranda Sisters will act on the trapeze, and Grave and Adams will appear in a musical sot.

There are two burlesques, Robin Hood' aud Antony and Cleopatra," and they will be staged with showy scenery and limited costuming. All tbe performers will appear in these parts of the programme. A well-known manager announces that he will shortly produce an adaptation of a Danish farce-comedy which enjoyed a successful ruu of eleven months in Copenhagen, This beats the Dutch. Skeleton giants are scarce, but Manager Fried, of the Fulton Museum has one, Eugeue Fenilto, who will appear there this week, is said to be over seven feet high and only weighs eighty pounds. Mile.

Wood will assist him in feats of strength. Hignor Terrari, tbe one-man band, and a number of other people will appear in the onrio halt J. Maoready aud a company will play Retribution" in the theatre. There will be concerts to-day. George Millbank, who managed the Gaiety Theatre which formerly stood on Fulton street, has tAken charge of the new Howard Auditorium in Baltimore.

The audiences at Huber Gebbardt's Casino this week will see Napier and Marielo in a grotesque act on tbe horizontal bar, and hear the Fenz Brothers in duets, Annie Wilmuths1 taking songs, Charles Duncans vocalism, J. M. Waddys basso profundo solos, aud instrumental selections by Kirschner and his musicians. A striking feature will be tbs duets of Minnio bchult and Annie Wilmhth. i 4 The Dramatic MbTor will move up to Fortieth street and Broadway on March 14.

Advanoe agents will before long have a hard time hoodwinking Yonkers if New York keeps moving at such a rapid pace. On a Sunday evening Tivoli an interesting place and there will bo a popular concert to-uight For this week Manager Feltman has engaged Lottie Rice, male impersonator; tbe Dalys, a sketch team; Maud Raymond, serio coinio; Walter Hyde, a clever imitator with his violin; the Merrick Sisters, a soug and dance duo: and Edith Mason, the star ot the Tivoli. Eeohert and his orchestra and solo players have prepared musical selections for the performance Dore Davidson and Miss Ramie Austens new play, "Green Lights," will be known hereafter as "Dangers of a Great City." The stars open for a short season on April 0 prior to the general tour of the season nf 1891-93. Hugh FAy exnects to be able to play the part of Horatio Dooley, the wealthy plumber, in A Scandal in High Life, tbe new play whioh BarryandFay will probably produce at the New Park Theatre next season. Barry will appear as Jeremiah Gilligan.

of Giliigau's float, and his son William Barry, will makehia debut. Edgar Selden is the author of the play. When and where are we going to hear ivanhoe" in New York But why should I ask this wben an American opera, "Maid Marian," the musio by Reginald da Koveo, of Chicago, has made' a sensation at the Prinoe of IV ales Theatre, London, and has not yet been heard in this metropolis writes beraph in tbe American Musician. We know that a prophet has no houor in his own oountry, and 'his seems to be equally true of an American Robin Hood," the original and better title of Maid Marian," bos been praised in the provinces, but nobody eared to produos it in New York. Now that Mr.

DeKoven has won a London suocess he will have plenty of offers from New York managers. Long ago, poor Boucicault flung at our theatrical speculators the taunt that they bought their plays, like their champagne, by the foreign brand, instead of by intrinsic excellence. Is this ooming true of musio also to say nothing of musical conductors The closing weeks of Mr. Potter of Texas" at the Star Theatre, New York, are announced. In constructing this play Mr.

Gunther did not lay himself out for any surpassing effort, but it is conceded to be popular. During the second act of The County Fair in Baltimore reoently the hoops of a corn bar yol came off on whioh Fanny Denham Bout vtos seated, causing her to fall heavily to the stage. Both tbe audience and those in the oast became so convulsed withMaughter that the curtain had to be ran down in the middle of tbe act. As soon as the audience became quiet the performance was continued. This is the tatest in the boom line: W.

B. Brady is authority for tbe statement that Robert Hilliard will not nopear in Thou Shalt Not, because Mrs. Hilliard objects to his flaying the part. Mr. Brady, on hearing of the wifes objection, released Mr.

Hilliard." Nat Goodwin tells me this one, writes Editor Richardson, of the Dramatic Kecas Years ago, when I was giving imitations of prominent actors, Frank Mavo met John Ellelerin Pittsburg. Mayo had just been to see my pertorwance, and he was gloomy. Said he: tive yon seen young Goodwin ElUier replied that he had. riow did you like his imitations? Elisler said they were immense. Hl-m-m, mused Mnyo.

What did you think hia imitation of me Great, exclaimed Lllslef. It is the best thing he Mnyo was silent for a moment, then, with impressive force, he ejaculated, To if I dont change my style of acting. That talented Brooklyn actress Alias Helen Ottoleugui has signed for next season as tbs leading lady in The Burglar." bhe has been with the company all this year, snd before season closes her friends will nave the opportunity of seeing hor in the play at the Grand Opera House. Realism is rampant In Paris theatricals. In revue at the Eldorado there is a part where a gentleman, seated iu the dress circle the theatre, fires a revolver at one of tbe orchestra.

A few days ago a lady in the audience took this piece of fooling seriously aod fainted The curious part of the affair was that the audience thought the fainting scene been especially arranged also, aud everybody scorned to eDjoy it exceedingly. Says the paragraphs of that bright weekly. Brooklyu Lire: 4 Do you call ibis anYjmqtUnal drama les; the attempt of beHng lady to play comedy la very patbptiYadeed.

Good heavens.

O'lwin, abruptly, let up, dout like that! voare the Red Leary of the profession." John Bussell, the manager of The Oity Directory," was sitting rather sad and pensive the Five As Club, the other night, when Peter Daly, the comedian, came np aud tapped airily on tbe shoulder.

OF Three New Flare Are on the LIM and There le flinch That Nord-Newf. Oueilp and Anecdotes About the Rtage and Ite People An unusually excellent bill is announced for this wees at tbe local theatres, when we con-eider the attractions for several weeks past.

Throe new productions, two 'of them of muoh importance, will form part of a programme that is full of variety. A welcome visitor to Brooklyn is Bose Coghlan, notwithstanding that she closed two of our theatres last season, aud it took Colonel hinn aU summer to open one of them and the other is a thing of the past. Miss Coghlans name is indissolubly linked to our theatrical history, because she gave the last performances at the old Park and the Brooklyn theatres, and splendid performances they were, and those who witnessed them will always remember with a thrill of pleasure. To-morrow night this popular woman and excellent actress will begin an engagement at the Amphion in Peg Woffington." In the oharaoter of rollicking Peg she has no equal on our stage. A very pleasant innovation in this production is tbe stately minuet in the lirst act and at the end tof the second act Miss Coghlan dances a jig and dances with all tbe grace and poetry of motion of a genuine oolleen.

Thomas nhiffen will be Triplet and be will play the violin. Mo other comedian since John Howson interpreted the parted was able to master the musical requirements of tbe character. But the most important annonnoemeot of the engagement is that Lady Barter," new play by MissTfekblans brother, Charles Coghlan, will be produced here for the drat time on Thursday night. It is accredited with success elsewhere, but theest time to judge the truth of the statements ts on Thursday sight, when, no doubt, the Amphiou will be crowded with a brilliant audience, because there is an unusual interest about the play. On' Saturday night the in no too brief engagement will come to an end with Loudon Assurance.

John T. Malone is still the leading man of Alias Coghlans company. This is how the reportoire is arranged for the week: Peg Woffiugtoa, on Monday, Tuesday And Wednesday nights, and at the Wednesday matinee: Lady Barter" on Thursday aud Friday nights, and at the Saturday matinee, and London Saturday night According to a Chicago critic, Stuart Bobson has a face that is as impassible as a brick fence and a voice that is remimsoent of broken clnna. Comic opera in full dress is certainly a novelty, Heretofore it has been presented largely in undress, but at tbe Dark Theatre to-rnor- row night not one of the charactersin Poor Jonathan" will wear tights. When this opera was first produced at the New York Casino the absence of fleshings excited considerable comment, but its success there probably proves that tights will not in the future playuoh ft prominent part in comedy opera, as tne new production is called.

Poor Jonathan" has a plot another feature out of the ordinary. A cook and a wealthy citizen are dissatisfied with their mode of living and they change places. Both enjoy their new sphere for a brief period and then long for the old life. They resume their former positions, but not before going through a series of mishaps that are amusing. Rudolph Aronsons traveling oompauy will appear here in Poor Jonathan." Camille LArville, T.

H. Ryley, Fred. Solomon, henry Hallam and a large chorus will sing and act the opera. Fine scenery is promised and a souvenir commemorative of the 100th performance of Poor Jonathan" by this company will be distributed. i.

M. James ONeil's much talked of production, A Dead hearth will bs seen at the Amphion on Moh 1th Bucolic drama will be the attraction at tbe Grand Opera House this week, and it will be furnished by Richard Golden and his jvsry in Old Jed Prouty. This will be Goldeiissocond week in town, for he played at tbe Amphion Sst week to pleased audienoes. In the character of JJld Jed Mr. Golden depicts very naturally tbe sentimental as well a the amusing traits of a typical New Englander constantly brought in contact with his follows.

He does not descend to the broad burlesque and coarseness with which the conventional stage Yankee has too frequently beep m- vested. Dan Kioe, the old-time clown, will present his unique entertainment at Knickerbocker Hall to-morrow night While Mr. Gillette is pursuing the amateur pirates aud writing new- dramas his succetsf ul plays are being presented in many parts of the country, and this week the petrous of Holmes btar Theatre will see the lanky playwright's translation from the German called ibe Private becretary. Gillette first played the cnaraoter that is best described by the title of the niAy, and he made one of bis big hits in it. The Private becretary is a clerical looking individual, tali and slender, nervous in temperament, with a smooth, stealthy movement, as he crosses and recrosses the stage, and a peculiar fashion of expressing himself by odd exclamations, the most notable oue, Dyou know," with a long drawl, spoken in an upper register (as a musician would explain it) at introduction, or on the entrance of the secretary to his new home, where he is engaged to instruct the young ladies in their studies.

One is inclined to doubt sny great amount of fun in such a looking individual, but that alone is the secret of the plays suo-0688. This absurd and droll character, like all thereat, througn the different soenes, gradually grows in the light of absurdity and the panoramic confusion of incidents snd accidents that befall this quaiut individual so excites the risibility of the attentive auditor, that before the curtain falls bn the first act the poor, -careworn secretary and his tittering audience are the best of friends and in harmony and sympathy with each, other. The collusions, etrors and impediments that befall him in the following two acts give rise to the greatest cou-fnsion in boisterous laughs, and all usually concede at the finish that the secretary is one of the funniest individuals they have ever seen. Charles Frohman's company will interpret the cnaracters. K.

JK Huston, a six-footer, will be the rtev. Robert bpaulding, the private secretory, and Marry Allen will be Mr. Cattermole, a gentleman who is very muelf interested in tne condition of one's liver. The following is this week's contribution to Hie advance ageuis humorous department: All help to make up an entertainment that conld not fail to draw even in the sultry and oppressive weather we have had this spring. J.

K. Emmet, his $5,000 St. Bernard dog, 1 linliuamou, his dramatic company, his troupe of uny actors and his new play will be at the Lee Avenue Academy. ibis is Iritzs first visit this season and he calls his new play Uncle Joe; or, Fritz in a Mad house. Ibe title would lead ope to believe that it is a gloomy affair, but it is not, for Fritz will sing and dance and frolic with children, and that is al-ways the merriest scene in tbe Emmet dramas.

Charles Fleming, son of the late May Agnes Fleming, the story writer, is learning to be an actor at one of the "schools." Gut Reynolds will impersonate Mike Me. Ciuthey, the villain of ihe Deivr Irish Boy." at the New Lycenm Theatre this week, sup-ported by the same company that appeared week at the btar i heulre. There is sing-dancing as well as sensationalism in The Doat Irish Boy." Query lYhat Is an artist? Answer A song and danoe man.

The tife has gone by when it was found necessary call outside assistance to help ereot our prj lio buildings. The tremendous strides of past decade in wealth and population hi ALARV.

created an artistio feeling, which is makii iteelf notable in the embellishment of tl city. Fine buildings, both private and publ are springing np on every aide, and architei find a profitable field for the developeme of their talent Of all the drawings submitted to the Cor mission on Small Sites, the one designated Unknown" seems to meet with most favc In style it is, Romanesque. The materials be used in its oonstraetion are stone or poet bly granite, with yellowish briek and stoi trimmings. Thera are three entrances, tl central one of monumental proportion wii deep and handsomely carved archivoJ eavy straight stone lintels oover the windo? of the first -while ornate groups arcades frame the windows of the upper stone This is so muoh the more effective as the a companying surfaces are kept very plait The oentral portion of the facade terminate in a clock tower of moderate height and eoht appearance, which contributes largely to giv-the building, its individual character and re weals the purpose for which it is intended As a whole the impression created upon tht spectator Is that of a dignified, substantia pablio building the arti-tio effect being at tained by a proper disposition of tsses aur openings.and a soaring distribution of earvei work. Another pretty design is tbe one known a 'Alarm." This belongs to the Fifteenth Century French renaissance period.

The trout very subdued, pieroed by handsomely framec openings formed of stone. The ohief interes in this design is centered in a clock tower oi graceful proportions. -The combination 01 windows and arrangement of dormers is in renious snd characteristic of the period whict Aid great stress on the artistio development ol details. Tbs materials are stone and bnok? witW tiled roofs, Mr. J.

Glover submits a desige known as Slow Burning Construction. Mr Glover is not as happy in tbs ohoice of hii title as he is in the drawing, whioh represents handsome, showy and substantial structure. The style is Romanesque aud the soeoial feature is the tower snd lookout, as both belfry and lookout to Mr. Glovers mind are neoes sary adjuncts to every well regulated and oom Mete Fire Headquarters. The height of the ewer to the balcony is 119 feet.

The Lookout" is 13 feet above this and the flagstaff risot UNKNOWN. feet above the Lookout" There are three arches ou the first story, a recessed bale my and two bars on either side, the smaller toping At the fourth story nd -the larger continue ing on until it runs into tbe staircase tower. There ere two arches betweeu tbe second end fourth stories, with two terra cotta panel or merited by feudal shields sod flremeifs trumpets, symbolical pf the ones of the bail ling. Above thu is a tablet with the inscription, Brooklyn Fire Department." The materials are granite and limestone red bnck and terra cotta. Parfflt Brothers submit a design which is a mixture of early Dutch and recent domestic.

The idea, no doubt, was to represent in a measure the history of tbe city. The central entrance is in the form of a semi-cirouLir arch; the entrance to the office portion ef the building is almost classio in its regularity. The feature of this design is the circular turret tbe roof of whioh is supported by twenty columns, ibis turret shoots out from tbe iil6 the main gable, The architects evidently sought to make a very practical building with fdenty of light There is a frieze with the inscription Brooklyn Fire Department and' the ooata of arms bf the btate and tbe city. The carvings represent trumpets and helmets, appropriate and emblemaiie of the character of the structure. The materials are dark-reddish granite, terra cotta and bright red brick; tbe turret roofs to be tiled with Span-ish-sbape tiles and of bright cberry-red color.

1 hayer Jt Wallace submit a detigo that is rich, elegant sod dignified. It is dmdeJ into three bays or divisious. the central one projecting slightly beyond tbe side bays. Although rich in treatment, tbe faoade cannot be laid to be overloaded with detail. Fields, bnelling 4 Warren submit twe, and Frank Freeman submits ooe design.

Want of spaca alone prevent a detailed' detenptioo. buthoe it to say the subject is treated wortmly and with artistic feeling.

OMEN. Miss Green, who is known among her large eirole of friends as Ettie, made her debut at the Criterion Theatre, this city, on tbe night of Oct 10 last, at the age of 13. On that eventful night she exhibited her remarkable talent in a manner that won for her immediate fame. received an ovation never befpre equaled at an entertainment in tbe Criterion. All the musical aud dramatio start in Brooklyn were there, and every one seemed to carry a basket of flowers for the debutante.

A handsome souvenir programme had been gotten up for toe affair, and it contained a fairly good likeness of the young lady. Since then she has apoesred at nearly every musical and dramatio entertainment given on the Brooklyn amateur stage. Her elocution it ail that can be desired, as is her natural repose. The natural tendenoy which new beginners usually show to overdo tbs part is not a apparent Miss Greens work. She is natural all the time, ary ing and laughing as if she had her soul at work as well as her body.

There is no half twist motion of the rhoulders, so often affected by beginners, nor are therq sohoo -girl gestures. On the contrary. Miss Green's positions and gesturing are extremely good and well-studied. Mbe renders the difficult monologue. Buchanans Nell," with apparent ease.

In humorous selections she is "at home," as the saying is. Her makeup and re-, cital of Jimmy Butler and tbe Owl" could not be exoelled. Mias Green is tbe recipient from time to time of scores of letters from persons of prominence who have witnessed her performances. Thee letters all contain words of praise, and goto show that she has publio opinion? ou her side, which is a big thing for so young an artist, as publio opinion" is, as a rule, very cynical. Mr.

Henry Eyre Browne, tbe organist of Dr. Talmages ohuroh, wrote to ber saying that words couldn't express the pleasure it gave him to witness her performances. You are live actress," he wrote, And ended by predicting a bright future for her. Miss Greene has appeared a number of times at the entertainments given in the Henson Blaoe M. E.

Church, at the Union Congregational Cburoh, at lodge entertainment, sociables, dramatio society entertainments, aud Also as an amateur actress, in a play written for. bee entitled, The Little U'itob. At Benjamin's oonoert in the Academy of Musio she appeared as tbe May Queen.

r' A i 1 oure for fermentation I conld then oure all diseases. I found a remedy that does and will stop fermentation Behind all the Greek and Latin names, jrad above all the Greek' and Latin namei; and of more value, is common sensed Common sense should become at least a part of medical sofonce. In nature we are governed for the most part by analogy. a tree or plant becomes diseased begins to lose its oolor we find on examination that the roots are in a state of fermentation, and this fermentation is carried in the sap through the entire tree or plant that is to say, one tree or plant becomes diseased, sick. If nothing is done the- tree or plant dies.

The same process goes on in ths bodies of animate and men. The tree, in order to live, must have its roots In the soil and ita leaves in the air. What the stomach is to the man tbs roots are to ths tree, and what tbe lungs are to a man ths leaves are to a tree; and the cause of fermentation is the same that is to say, microbes. A man suffering with consumption has not diseased lungs alone, but every part of his body is diseased, because his blood is diseased, and the blood visits every part of the body. Now, tS cure consumption, or any disease because I do not oare what namq you give a disease, the name having nothing to do with the cure we must stop fermentation, and we must stop it by a remedy that goes wherever the blood goes.

It must be a powerful antiseptic. It must first go into the stomaoh, and thence through all the veins and arteries of tbe body, snd in this way kill and destroy miorobes in every part of the system. If we could really kill tubercules in the lane, this alone wonld not oare consumntion. A blood-purifying prooess mast snd wilb onre all diseases, and as there are no partition walls in the body the antiseptic will go to every part and witl purify the blood everywhere, and when that is clean and nnre we are not aick. To cut fit a diseased part from our body does not destroy ths disease in the blood, but it may delay the progreas.of the disease, for the reason that the poison is in tbe blood.

When a man, no matter how well educated he may be, or how many diplomas he may have, writes or says that he oan onre consumption by injecting a miorobe into tbe body without purifying the blood, then I tell him that he does not know how nature aots all know that every organized thing travels toward deoay and death, and we all know that every organized thing, when diseased, is in a state of fermentation, and that consequently no sickness can take nlace, i nd the prooess of deoay cannot go on without being Qeo'Boaoied by fermentation, and no fermentation can take place without miorobes. All animal life is conditioned snd cannot exist withont sir, heat and moisture, so fermentation cannot take place without air, heat and moisture in other words, fermentation exists only under the conditions of life, because ib is ths result of life, the result of another form of life that is to say, a miorobe in the body of the animal or man. or in the root or sap or life of the tree. When we find a remedy that will stop this fermentation, that will destroy the life that oauses it without interfering with the life of the patient we have discovered tha universal remedy. We find that nature allows life to live on life, and this life that lives on ths lives of animals and men assumes a vast flam ber of forms and lives in different parts of the body, feeding npon different kinds of flesh, upon different nerves and different organs, and yet tbey always make their presence known by fermentation, and without fermentation it is impossible for thorn to exist that is to say, fermentation accompanies all diseases.

1 have discovered a remedy that destroys fermentation. It is osed in large quantities, to the end that it may be earriod to every part of tbe body to the end that tha system maybe-come saturated with it so that tbs fermentation, no matter in what part of the body it may be, may be deitroyed. This remedy is Radams Microbe Killer, It destroys fermentation, it removes tbs cause of disease, it is a true remedy. There is nothing miraculous about iL It ia simply natural. It acts in accordance with the facts in nature.

It is basoff npon no theory imply upon demonstration. know that it will do certain things because it has done enough to kill, so that they ore always hand, ing edge tool without handles at least With. mt handles for the patient. 'Sometimes it seem, as though the doctor 1 dj not wish to find universal remedy, on tht conld be taken without their advice, with-ou then preseuoe thattji to say, without their fTuere i only one wy prove that modi-' oineiures, snd that is by the person who are our. The patient ia tht one who know whet, is better or not, and whether tha meditne has done him gold or harm.

Of conn I never expect to proveme value of my diaeowry by physicians. I qwt to prove i -As I on preoarad to prove itV-by those who have b-n I do not oiptet to prove it, by the tartifioates of physioiail bnt by tha testimony of patients. It is aural for the phy.icisi to protoot ihemselvei snd to decry oil rempies not in Tented by doctors. UnoonsciouW they oppose all information from withoL It mast come through the regular eobools.llt must told by a professor. It must be wrtan by one who haa a diploma.

If a man not! physician discovers a remedy they will not samine the remedy. They examine the disoower, snd if ho is not a doctor that ends the busfoss. Several months ago I gave a list persons who had been cured of oonsumptioffiy taking Radam's Miorobe Killer. At thai time it seemed to me that dootors would lfcestigate these oures end would take the troffie to ascertain whether the report was truei But no-attention whatever was paid to the ositioatM and affidavits of persons who had bet cured. The dootors took it for granted that fore was no truth in it, because the remedjwas not invented by a physician or by de who claimed to have been educated at ahedioal sohoo Ther seemed to think it far Itter to be killed in a scieatiflo way than to Ueured by one who haa nd medical eduoatie, and that the man who submits himself Ida real physician has the pleasure of dying in koord-anoe with the demands of medioai soiend and that one who takes a remedy invented by a neighbor not a graduate of any school aa has the impudenoe to get well wust-regret a lue tife the injury he has been to medical scibce.

I say to the sick and afflicted If you fish, to be oured, Radam's Microbe Killer will ive yon health. It will destroy tha fermentafo that accompanies all disease. It Will kill Tie microbes that infest your blood. The following are the names of a fow persons who have been cured of consumptiou or the use of Microbe Killer, and who, if wriitek to, will tell where and where only the oure to be found: E. B.
