Arrangements are be- img perfected to give the unemployed a chance to saw wood and in return to furnish been fitted up in the basement, where they can sit by a warm fire. Cots have been purchased to place in this room at night for the men to sleep on. A large range is to be purchased and a soup house will prob- ably be in full blast before another week passes. A bath room is to be fitted up in the toilet room which adjoins the reading room. Then in another part of the base- ment is the woodyard where men can work enough to pay for meals and lodging. All these arrangements are for men whose con- dition, habits and inclinations unfit them for occupying better places. Those who are willing to be clean and conform to the usages of respectable society can find better accommodation higher up. A bed on a bench costs 5 cents a night, on a cot 10 cents, and on a bed 15 cents. A bowl of soup will probably be furnished for 5 cents, | a lunch for 10 cents, and a wholesome meal of plain food for 15 cents. Work will be furnished whereby to earn tickets for meals and lodgings. There will therefore be no excuse for giving men money in the mis- sion. Every man can ‘pay his way.’ All these arrangements so far are very crude owing to the lack of capital, but as the suc- cess is demonstrated the board is confident Imeans will be forthcoming. Few persons are aware of the ingenuity which the board is compelled to display in the attempt to do So much with so little money. Such little things as patching the broken plaster on the ceiling, whitewashing, properly lighting and warming have to be left undone or only partly done for want of money. A cast- away little cook stove has tried to look ht and cheerful as a heater for the reading room. The poor old stove is not to blame for its dismal failure. Hard benches have done their best to present a soft side to tired bodies in imitation of cots and no- bedy knows how sadly they fail in their mew role so well as the tramps who try to sleep on them. But all these inconveniences will only make us appreciate improvements when they come—and they are certain to come. Mr. P. W. Pratt has been made superintendent of this branch of work. He has his hands full. He is like a hotel-keeper without beds and dishes. The guests must ‘bunk’ wherever they can and feed them- selves with their fingers. But a better day is This enterprise bids fair to be one of the best and most practical features of the mission work.” — ELECTRIC ROAD TO BALTIMORE. The Route Suggested, It is Thought, by a Purchase of Property. “There are a great many anxious inquiries as to the ultimate location of the Washing- ton and Baltimore electric railway, and the Proposed national boulevard, says the Balti- | more Sun today, especially on the part of owners of properties adjacent to Baltimore and around Catonsville. There has been much surveying going on of late on va- Tious lines—some wide apart—so that con- siderable of mystery, apparently, exists as to the Intentions of the projectors of the line. From one particular deal which has ome to light, however—the purchase of “Lindhurst,” the country seat of the late Reverdy Johnson, for $120,000, by those con- trolling the ele ic railway and boulevard project—it is surmised that the Washington pike ime has been abandoned, and that the eatrance into Baltimore will be near about Edmonson avenue. “Lindhurst,” which con- tains scme two hundred and fifty acres, lies te the right the avenue, just above the bridge over Gwynns Falls. It is surmised, in this case, that the boulevard would cut across and through “Linchurst,” crossing Gwynns Falls by an elevated structure from somewhere near the Five Mills prop- erty, here twhe Wensttom dynamo works are located, and which could be utilized for the electric plant; and then crossing E mondson avenue above Uplands, Robert Garrett's country seat, would strike across d through the Mount de s d, skirting Catonsville, take et course to Ellicott City. It that surveys are being run on and through the Mount de Sales and as it is said to be nine miles the nearest route, the time gained in the jong years to come would cut quite a figure im the calculations. The “powers that be” are very close about disclosing the line to be adopted, but the above comes from a Feliable source, so far as obs and from 2 party who has Velopments very closely. ation go atched the de- a CE IN WINTER. = RA | Thanksgiving Day Will Not End| the Cycling Season. ee rs COMING WEEK. |EVENTS OF THE | District Championship to Be De- cided. CHAT OF THE LOCAL CLUBS. Thanksgiving day usually winds up the cycling season so far as road riding is con- cerned, but now that the club members are all riding pneumatics some winter riding is likely to be indulged in this season. Last | Winter the Arlington Wheelmen broke the record for winter cycling when they went jon a holiday run to Dickey’s through the snow and ice and crossed the river below the falls, some riding over on the ice. At that time the snow was several inches deep, and although some trouble was experienced so far as fast riding was concerned, the wheelmen spent an enjoyable time and saw the river and falls under conditions which rendered the scenery even more beautiful than in the summer time. On account of the bad weather recently the club runs, have not been largely attended. but there are some members who seldom stop on this account, and they were on the road as usual. On Thanksgiving day the wheelmen gen- erally will go out on their silent steeds to participate in the numerous cycling events and the day will be a holiday among the wheelmen with which nothing but inclem- ent weather will interfere. In Baltimore there is to be the regular annual ten-mile handicap road race, and this will attract many of the racing men, who have been in training some days. Many members of the Arlington Wheelmen will participate in this event, as among its members are nu- merous fast riders. Several prizes are to be given, and with a fair handicap the Ar- lingtons will undoubtedly make a good showing and bring home something to show the result of their work, as they have so often done heretofore. In addition to those who are to participate many other wheelmen will go over with the party to) witness the event. The District Championship. Next Tuesday the Victor Cycle Club will have the use of the Y. M. C. A. Park for the purpose of settling the disputed cham- pionship race of the District of Columbia. At the regular race meet of the club, as stated at the time. there were several wheel- men disqualified because they were not members of the League of American Wheel- men, and they protested that under the terms of the entries they were entitled to ride in the one-mile event. The officials of the race decided against them, but when Chairman Raymond of the racing board had the affair called to his attention he decided in favor of the non-league members, and the race next Tuesday is under a spe- cial sanction of the L. A. W. racing board. In addition to this event the Victor Cycle Club has arranged for two other races in order to make the afternoon's entertain- ment worth seeing. There are to be a quar- ter-mile open and a half-mile open. Being short races the riders are likely to make good time and give the spectators an op- portunity of enjoying the short meet. Arrangements are about completed for the Victor Club’s hare and hound chase on Thanksgiving day, and the state of the; weather will determine the course over which the chase will be made. The event will in all probability bring out a good representation of the club's membership, and a lively time is anticipated. Last Sun- day several members of the club went to Marlboro’, this being what is known as the wet weather road. Between here and Prince George’s county seat there is a large proportion of sandy road, and just after a tain the road is in far better condition than during the summer time after a number of days of dry weather. Arlington Wheelmen. If asked what was the cause of the ex- eitement in the vicinity of Bradywine last Sunday, residents along that road would probably have answered that “those Arling- ton Wheelmen were having another road race, enough to excite most any village.” However,this was only one of the character- istic runs of this club, they having come to be called “road races” from the manne: in which they are conducted. Last Sunday the Arlingtons were scheduled for Brandy- wine at 9 a. m., but in waiting for a few of the habitually tardy ones it was 10 o'clock before all were ready to start. Messrs. Paimer and Robertson rode a tandem, and the way they climbed the hills and pulled through bad places in the road kept the remainder of the party on a con- tinual sprint. In descending one of the pa>- ticularly steep hills the rear chain took oc- casion to mount the sprocket wheel and slide off, leaving the wheels each independ- ent of the rest of the machine, and the riders at the mercy of the tandem. It was a laughable sight to see pedals and feet in a stationary attitude while the wheels were going at a te:rific rate of speed down the hill. Down the hill they went and across a bridge which happened to be at the bottom, making such a rumbling and thundering noise that an old farmer was led to inquire as to the success of the zainmakers. Brandywine was reached in good season, and the fatted calf was killed by the gener- ous landlord of the inn at that place, which served to raise him very much in the esti- mation of the whole party. “The Arlingtons,” said one of their num- ber the other day, in conversation on the subject, “have viewed with genuine amuse- | ment the efforts of certain weuld-be record holders to lay claim to a record which has for a long time been the property of this club. The record for what was once but twenty miles, but is now twenty and a half miles, from the lower reservoir to the Ang- lers’ Club house and return, is in fact the only one in which we have ever evidenced any real interest, and which we are deter- mined to hold at almost any hazard. “I noticed,” continued the member, “in one of last week’s papers that one of the riders, who has lately been laboring under the temporary honor of being the 24-hour record holder, simply for the District of Columbia, and not for America, as has been stated, has seen fit to lay claim to this record. At any rate he claims this record, and upon what ground no one is able to ascertain, unless it is that he rode from the upper end of the reservoir to the club house and return, what he calls twenty miles, in 1 hour 4 minutes and 49 seconds. In regard to this record I have but to call his atten- tion to the time made by Clapp and Hutch- ings, who finished as near a tie as it was possible for a put-up job to make it, in the Arlington handicap road race on October 28, when they covered the twenty and a half miles in 1 hour 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Not stopping to dispute the record of the aforementioned record holder, we have the record for the twenty and a half miles in 9 seconds less time than he had it for twenty miles. In other words Clapp and Hutchings rode one-half a mile more in 9 seconds less." Washington Road Club. The Washington Road Club's run last week was not largely attended, but the ab- sence of numbers did not detract from the interest and enthusiasm of the run, which, by the way, was not a hare and hound event. There were no hounds in the party, nor did the wheelmen come across a single hare, although they were supposed to be on a gunning expedition. The place selected for the sport was on the Virginia side of the river in the vicinity of Great Falls, the | cyclists making Dickey’s their headquarters. To the woods théy went, but with what success is not known, for none of them returned with any game, although it is stated that Capt. Jose killed a sparrow. At the same time other members of the party say that, in fairness to their noble captain, it should be stated that no other birds were found. Fortunately the gunners | did not stray far from the country tavern, and Mrs. Dickey saved something for them | to eat. The Capital Bi. Club. The Capital Bi. Club had a short run last Sunday, in which only a few members par- ticipated. The road men in this club are | not fond of cold-weather riding, and in- rt of being on the road most of them are to be found in the cozy home of the club, on 15th street, enjoying a quiet game of some sort or discussing the past and coming seasons. To them the indoor events country in frosty weather. On next Friday the first german of the season will be given. Georgetown Cl ‘s Fair. While the cold-weather riders and racers are enjoying themselves the members of the Georgetown Cycle Club are engaged in quiet and effective work to complete ar- rangements for their fair, to be held short- ly after the holidays. This is to be the principal cycling event during the winter season, and all wheelmen interested in the race track question have promised to lend a helping hand. The proceeds of the fair, as heretofore stated, will start a fund for the construction of a cycle race track, and the wheelmen hope to be able to build the track in the spring, in order to kold some good races here next season. The committees representing the various clubs will meet again next month, and after this meeting the wheelmen will have some idea of the prospects for securing a track. Last Sunday the Carroll Institute cyclers tcok a ride through Rock creek valley and gave some interesting exhibitions of hill climbing. Tomorrow the club will gé to Bladensburg and Hyattsville, and will then take a cross-country ride to Sligo and Sil- ver Spring. — a THE CAPITOL WAS AFIRE. The Veteran Volunteer Firemen in a Reminiscent Mood. The members of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association naturally like to talk over their exploits at fires, and so the discussions at their open meetings are interesting. Thursday evening, at the second of .the open meetings of the association, held at their hall, 19th and H streets northwest, Vice President Godwin Pierce presiding, with J. J. Peabody, secretary, the subject for discussion was the fire at the Congres- sional Library on the morning of Decem- ber 24, 1851. Mr. Daniel Genau was the first speaker, and said he lived opposite the grounds at the time, but was not work- ing at the fire. He remembered that it was bitter cold weather. He did not think they had ever seen such weather since. In order to keep the water in a fluid state whisky was put in the hose. It was after that he joined the company, and he had made a name when attacked by some of the boys by standing his ground in a stone battle and firing back. Mr. Genau then related how some of the boys, in 1852, got hold of @ little box engine, which was always first at a fire, and the fires were then numerous. There was a fire in an unoccupied frame house, so old that one of the fire boys told him he had set fire to it five times and it would not burn until he set fire to the gable, when it burned downwards. He well re- membered the Capitol fire, and how they took water from the fish pond in the Capi- tol grounds and threw gold fish with the water on the fire. Run = om the Pavement. Mr. Genau then related how Mayor Ma- gruder, on the complaint of ladies, ordered that the apparatus should not be run on the pavements, but that firemen must run in the streets like other animals. A short time after there was a fire in the navy yard and on the way down on the pavement they were halted by Officer Simonds, who placed them under arrest. They then re- turned and meeting the Northern Liberty boys told them what had happened and the ‘Chunker” boys turned back with them, saying: “If you are under arrest so are we.” A warrant was issued. but when the trial came they convinced the magistrate that there was so much snow on the pavement that the charge of running on the pave- ment would not hold. Mr. Peabody's Recollectio: Mr. John J. Peabody said the fire at the brary was discovered early in the morn- ing just as he was starting from home on B street near the Capitol. It was a bitter cold day, the thermometer at four degrees below zero. Mr. Meehan, the librarian, lived @ few doors from him and he ran to Mr. Meehan’s house and told him. Having every reason to believe that it would be a serious fire, and having his membership with the Northern Liberty at 8th and K streets, he then ran to that house, a good mile and a half, meeting Mr. John T. Suter on the way. wet and hungry end the en- gines frozen up. They were loth to be- Heve that the Capitol was on fire. By this time all the bells in town were ringing. Tney took the hose carriage and start leaving it near the pool on the west front, | and then took the engine there. It was necessary to thaw out the engine before getting to work, but he could not say how long it took them to do so. At any rate they went to work and theirs was the only engine that forced water directly from the pool to the top of the building. The Columbia suction was taken into the rotunda, and he believed the Perseverance forced water to it; the Anacostia on the last portico and, he believed, was sup- plied by her own suction. The Union and Franklin were just south of the portico sup- Plied by their own suctions. Who threw the first water he did not know, but thought it was the Columbia, but Columbia got no water till it was forced to it by the Perse- verance. There were some amusing scenes, among them being the fall of Senator Lewis Cass on the ice after he had berated the firerren for their tardiness without making any allowance for the weather and the con- dition of the apparatus after the hard work at Baker's fire. A Bucket Line. Mr. James R. Dobbyn said that on the west front a line passed buckets along and the question as to who threw the first wate> could be answered from that circumstance. Mr. Julius Strober said that the Persever- ance forced water to both the Anacostia and Columbia. He asked how the Northern Liberty carriage was*in the west grounds. He was glad that the Perseverance was given credit for what she did. Mr. J. T. Suter said at the Baker fire the Perseverance took water at 8th street and the Northern Liberty at 7th street, the Franklin hose joining them later. They this year’s series are fixed as follows: De- worked till the fire was out, every time the goose necks froze a kettle of hot water being handy to thaw them out. The water froze on their clothing. About sunrise a man on horse back told of the Capitol be- ing on fire and they would not believe it. He and some others took the reel, ran to the ground, saw that it was going to be a bad fire, and he then ran back for the en- gine. The boys would not then believe it, but they went up with the engine. Mr. Strobel said he had often wondered how the hose reel got there. Several mem- bers of Congress worked on the Perse- verance and when the report got out that Senator Cass had telegraphed to Baltimore some of them said they would not work. Mr. Peabody said he poten that it was proposed to telegraph. Mr Strobel said that the Baltimore fire- men were on the train ready to come. Mr. Suter said that after the fire he went to Baltimore and found that the Vigilant company had had their apparatus on the train ready to start, when the order was countermanded. Mr. Peabody said that the dispatch was probably sent when the firemen were thaw- ing out the engines. The Washington fire- men, however, had kept the fire to the room in which it originated, although at the time the dome stairs were several times in_danger. The discussion will be continued the first Thursday in December. —— Naval Academy vs. West Point Foot Ball Game at Annapolis, Md., Dec. 2d. For this occasion the B. and O. railroad will run a special fast express train, leav- ing Washington at 12:30 p. m., arriving at Annapolis at 1:40 p. m., without change of cars. Returning, leave Annapolis thirty minutes after close of game. Other trains leave for Annapolis via B. and O. at 7:15 and 8:30 a. m. and 12 p.m. Tickets good going on all trains of Saturday, with return limit to Monday. $1.50 for the round trip. The Columbia Athletic Club has selected the Baltimore and Ohio railroad as the official route on this occasion.

Brooks, 616 12th street, for meny years prominent in real estate circles, has added a new feature to his business— that of real estate auctioneering—and an- nounces himself fully prepared to meet the requirements of all owners desirous of dis- posing of their property at public auction. His long experience and thorovgh know!l- of the club are more interesting and pleas- ant than snow rides or trips through the edge of realty values in all sections of the city specially fit him for his new venture. AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—There can be no gainsaying | the fact that the forthcoming season ot} opera comique at Albaugh’s Grand Opera | House, commencing Monday next, will at- tract much more than ordinary attention | from patrons of musical events in this city. “The Fencing Master,” an opera comique of reputation, gained strictly upon its merits as | @ composition, will be the magnet for the | week's recitals here. The interpreters of | the work are the Mapleson and Whitney | Opera Comique Company, consisting of | eighty principals and chorus. The roster | of principals embraces such well-known lyric artists as Laura Schirmer Mapleson, Lilly Post, Thea Dorre, Marian Langdon, Julia Spencer, Lizzie Newman and Maggie Bolton; also Hubert Wilke, Gerald Gerome, H. W. Tre Denick, A. M. Holbrook, Ole Norman, C. A. Bigelow, Edward Pease and Walter West. “The Fencing Master” was | first produced in September of last season, and so great was its success that the entire } Season was devoted to seven cities, namely, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo, Washington and Baltimore. This season Montreal and Boston have been vis- ited successfully, the return engagement in the last-named city being a veritable triumph during the entire season of three weeks. The scenes uf “The Fencing Mas- | ter” are Venetian, and from a scenic point of view are most picturesque. New National Theater.—Mr. Joseph Jef- ferson in “Kip Van Winkle” next week.

No feature is more attractive than the old darkey melodies. It was a poor Plantation indeed, that did not have its vocal quartet, its back and wing dancers, its weird musicians, and as a result they accumulated a multiplicity of old plantation songs, funny negro witticisms and terpsich- orean and musical conceits. In the“South Before the War” they are all realistically reproduced. The roster of the company numbers nearly a hundred people, and it has been meeting with phenomenal success peat ly aky os Street parade, weathe> per- mitting, w! e given Mon 11:80 o'clock. ee ees The German Military Bands.—The Ger- man Military Bands which are to appear at Convention Hall on the 5th and 6th of De- cember will present a class of music dis- tinctively of a military character, and prob- ably of a kind which has never been heard in this country by the majority of the citi- zens. Mr. Herman Wolff, the well-known Berlin manager, zepresenting the syndicate of German bankers and the few American citizens who formed the conipany which placed the German village at the fair, was requested to secure two bands whose music would be of a military nature, and partake of the characteristics of the country. Through the kindness of the imperial Prus- sian band inspector, the services of two noted German band masters were secured; one being Ed. Ruschewyt, a military band master of great reputation, and also direc- tor of the famous band in Tivoli Garden at Berlin; the other Gustav Herald, the staff trumpeter, and a well-known composer of brass music. Through the efforts of these two leaders the infantry band of fifty-five pieces and the Guarde du Cozps, or cavalry band of twenty-six pieces, were fully or- ganized, equipped and the organizations came over last May. Their success in New York, before going to Chicago, was follow- ed during the entire season at the fair, and the bands played to daily audiences of from two to twenty thousand people. Since leav- ing the fair they have been giving three or four conce:ts in each of the principal cities of the west, and are now nearing the end of their journey. They return to Germany December 10, consequently, their concerts here on the dates mentioned will be the only chance to hear them. In St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Buf- falo the audiences have been simply enor- mous, thousands attending the concerts, and. no doubt exists as to the continuance of these triumphs here in the east. The sale of seats commences Monday, Novem- ber 27, at Metzerott’s music store. ‘The Bischoff Concerts.—The announcement of the thirteenth season of the Bischoff concerts 1s now made, and the dates for cember 15, January 26, 1834; February 23, March 21 and April 27. All these dates are on Friday. The concerts are under the immediate direction of Dr. Bischoff, who will appear in each, assisted by the best local talent. The sale of season tickets will commence at Ellis’ music store on Friday, December 1, and continue until December ¥, after which no more season tickets will be sold. The success of the Bischoff con- certs in past years warrants the predic- tion that both from a musical and finan- cial standpoint the reputation they have gained will be maintained. Carroll Institute Hall.—Tomorrow night Mr. A. J. Faust will deliver a lecture, un-| der the auspices of the sodality of St. Pat- rick’s parish, at the Carroll Institute Hall. His subject will be “Cardinal Newman and His Times,” and it will be illustrated with stereopticon views of persons and places connected with the great churchman’s ca- reer. Dr. Faust is a man of high literary attainments and excellent discriminating powers, so his lecture may be anticipated to be an interesting one, and the subject is one that appeals strongly to every Catholic heart. This is the lecture that was post- poned from last Sunday evening on account of Dr. Faust’s illness and the tickets pur- chased for that occasion will be good to- morrow night ‘The Imperial Austrian Band.—Tomorrow night the Imperial Austrian Infantry Band that created such a furore among those who visited “Old Vienna” at the ae a will makt first appearance in this city. It will vias n Convention Hall, for it is be- Me that No other place in the city is | sufficiently large to accommodate the crowds that will want to hear this excel- lent body of foreign musicians. This band is unique im {ts ability to play the highest type of mi 1 music, and also to properly interpret t best compositions for or- chestra. It has created more interest wherever it has appeared than did the mous band of Strauss. Its leader, C. M. ‘Ziehrer, is a court director, and one of the most talented in the Austrian capital. He 1s also a composer of note, and one of the | numbers on tomorrow night's program will be a military musical fantasia of which he is the author, entitled, ‘“‘The Dream of An Austrian Reservist,” which has met with great praise in other cities. Some of Mr. Ziehrer’s dance music is said to be equal to that of Strauss. Among others, the composers to be represented are: Strauss, Liszt, Gounod, Thomas, Mendelssohn and Wagner. There will be popular prices. ‘Adelina Pattl.—The greatest musical event | of this season will be the appearance in | this city at Albaugh’s Opera House of the queen of singers, Mme. Adelina Patti. She will come on December 4, and will sing a miscellaneous program, and also the third act of “Faust.” Thus the greatest singer will be heard both in concert and opera on the same evening. Her appearances in New York, Boston and Philadelphia have been positive ovations on the part of her audiences, and the critics have declared that her marvelous voice is as pure and true and flexible as ever. Mr.Marcus Mayer,under whose management Mme. Patti sings, has surrounded her with capable singers, and there will be a full orchestra, under the leadership of the veteran Arditi. The price of tickets has been fixed at two, three, four and five dollars, according to location, and the sale will commence at Droop’s music store on Wednesday next at 9 a. m. Miss Richards’ Lecture.—Tonight at Uni- versalist Church Miss Janet Richards will deliver the first of two lectures which she will give on the world’s fair. She will pre- sent many handsome stereopticon views. which will add to the attractiveness of her descriptions of the persons and things that she saw in the white citv on the lake.

Luncheon and Tea.—There will be a luncheon and tea at the new Homeopathic Hospital, No. 625 Massachusetts avenue, |on Tuesday next. The luncheon will be from 12 to 2, and a fine menu will be of- fered. The tea will be from 7 to 10 p.m., ard after that there will be dancing. The ladies having the matter in charge are working earnestly, and it is hoped that their efforts will be handsomely rewarded. A change of bill took place at Albaugh's last night, when Mr. Charles Coghlan’s play, “Lady Barter,” was presented to an excellent audience. Both Mr. Coghlan and Miss Rose Coghlan have parts in this piece that are completely within their scope, and both are decidedly effective. Miss Coghlan also took occasion to wear some strikingly effective costumes, which were the delight of the feminine portion of the audience. Mr. John T. Sullivan was seen for the first | time this week in the character of Lord Brent, which he played with his usual care. Miss Kuhne Beveridge was a pretty Mary Brent, and the remainder of the cast was all that could be desired. As a curtain raiser “A Happy Pair” was given, afford- ing Miss Effie Shannon and Robert Taber an opportunity to be seen to very good ad- vantage. —— ae Went Point-Annapo! Foot Ball Game.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—The big match made yesterday morning between Jacob Schaefer and Frank Ives promises to fall through, in which event Abe Levi, who closed for Ives, will have to lose his forfeit of $500, which was posted when the match was made, to Leo Mayer. When seen last night Ives stated that the match was not necessarily off, but that he felt as if he ought to have something to say in the making of matches for himself. It is pretty generally conceded, however, that the big match Is off. == 400 Base Ball Contracts Signed.

No form of scrofula is more dreaded, more te- nacious, or more difficult to cure than goitre, or swellings in the neck, often growing to enormous running sores. The fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla curcs this severest form of Scrofula, absolutely Proves its great merit as a blood purifier. “Garnerville, N. Y., April 17, 1898. “C. I.

We read of a case of goltre cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and she decided to try this medicine. Before she had taken one bottle the swelling be- gat to decrease; she continued with the medicine and bas continued to improve till she has REGAINED PERFECT HEALTH And strength.
