THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1895. E BANKS, Movement to Keep Up the Government Gold Reserve. A FROM TH SUPPLY YELLOW MONEY. What Men of Means Will Give in Exchange for Legal Tender Notes. NOW URGED IN CLEVELAND. Directors Met and Authorized the Cashler to Communicate With Other Big Banks. CLEVELAND, Onro, Sept. 19.—A move- ment in the interest of gold was started in | the Central National Bank to-day, which may result in the bankersof this city offer. ing $1,000,000 in gold to the Government to be replaced by I said, was not the only statesman who then believed that the preservation of war memories was the perpetuation of war passions. He was not the only one who failed to appreciate the mighty changes which were to be wrought in time; or the hallowing effects of great trials and sor- rows upon the tempers of a people; or the elevating, ennobling and unifying power of our Christian civilization and free insti- tutions. General Gordon closed an im- passioned and eloquent peroration as fol- low “Every uniform worn by the brave, whether its color was blue or gray; every sheet of flame from the ranks and rifles of both sides; every cannon that shook Chickamauga’s hills or thundered around the heights of Gettysburg; every whizzing shell that tore through the Wilderness, at Chancellorsville or Shiloh; every bullet- rent flag that floated in viatory or went down in defeat on any field; every pa- triotic song or prayer wafted heavenward from the North or the South; every loving and tender ministering at the dying soldier’s side; every agonizing throb in woman'’s heart or burning tear on devoted woman’s cheek—all were contributions to the upbuilding of a loftier American man- hood for the future defense of American freedom.” General Gordon's thrilling close was the signal for an outburst of applause lasting several minutes, during which there were calls from the spectators for McKinley and Morton, speeches from the visiting sovernors being next in order. These were mingled with cries for Longstreet I tender notes.

He thought that if the bankers of the country would be willing to hand over to the Government something like $40,000,000 of their gold it would insure the continuation of the prosperity the country now enjoys. The other banks have not yet been ap- proached, but when the transaction be- came khown to them they expressed varying opinions on the subject, some of them favorable and some not to the Sulli- van plan. Sullivan insiststhat there is no precon- certed action among the bankers of the country, and denies that the Government has called upon him or any bankers, so far as he knows, toassist in remedying the present rather unsatisfactory state of af- fairs to the Government in Washington. The probability is that the thing is pro- | posed in the interest of gold and to sup- port the Cleveland administration attitude in relation thereto. Bankers in several other cities, Sullivan said, have been talk- ing over the same subject, but without col- lusion. ON SNODGRASS HILL Continued from First Page. tempt to discharge the representative duty imposed upon me, but in view of the great difficulty of even selecting the theme for the brief address which I am 10 deliver here, where 0 many memories crowd upon me, all demanding utterance, I will need your indul- gence. \Where shall I begin? Standing in this presence, upon this historic ground, I am conscious that no words of my o6wn will stir and thrill the survivors of the great military events which thirty-two years ago transpired in these valleys, and under the shadow of thése mountains, as will the mention of Chicksmauga, Chattanooga, Look- out Mountain and Missionary Ridge. These Dames are now historieally significant of great baitles, where many thousands oi brave men of the same race and language contended with | each other for victory. At the mention of them the eyes of veterans, dimmed by age, will | kindle, and for the moment they will forget the flight of time and tne lapse of years, and in imagination again plunge into the heady tight. After reviewing the thrilling incidents of the Civil War, General Palmer con- cluded: My comrades and countrymen, I have thus told the story of the battle of Chickamauga. It is brief, and necessarily incomplete. Writers, some with historical accuracy and others in the language of romance, have told the tale of that bloody contest. No man can know much of the events which did not occur in his immediate presence on a field like this, | We know the names of but few of the fallen, but we can remember the courage and gal- lantry of all who acted with us.” 1 have said that the Civil War was cansed by the sectional challenge to American manhood, and that challenge was accepted and followed ears of bloody and desolating war. In that war the American people learned to properly estimate each other, which is the only founda- tion for harmonious National unity By that war the theory of the right of the States to secede from the Union was forever eradicated from onr system of National consti- tutional government. By that war African slavery, which was the root of sectional bitter- ness and was one of the causes or pretexts for National controversy, was forever overthrown and the flag ot our country became at once the emblem of freedom and the symbol of National power. As the result of that war the constitu- tion was maintained, and not subverted, and the union of the American people made per- petual. My comrades, we who survive to this day may well be grateful to that Divine Being who guides the destiny of nations that we are per- mitted to see an established Unlon—a republic extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific ana from the lakes to the guli—and liberty and law the all-perveding rule of our Natioual iife. We are here to-day ““with malice toward none and charity for all”’; we meet as citizens of a com- mon country, devoted 10 its interests and alike ready to maintain its honor wherever or how- ever assailed. To my comrades, you who were Confederate soldiers during all the weary struggle of the Civil War, I beg to say I was proud of your gal- lantry and courage. Inever allowed myself to forget that you were Americahs, freely offering vour lives in the defense of what you believed 1o be your rights and in vindication of your manhood, Fou are now satisfied that the result of the Civil War established the unity of the power- ful American Republic; you submitted your controversies with your fellow-citizens to the arbitrament of the battle-field, and you ac- cepted the result with a sublime fortitude worthy of all praise, and your reward is, that peace and order are restored, and “the South,” which you loved so well, and for which yon fought so bravely, now blossoms with abund- ant blessings. General Gordon of Georgia opened his address by quoting the iliustrious Charles Sumner’s proposal in the United States Senate to strike from the battle-flags of the Union all mementoes of our civil war. He eulogized the broad and catholic spirit of patriotism which inspired that proposi- tion, though, he said, Mr. Sumner rea- soned as a classical student rather than a practical statesman. But Mr. Sumner, he sent it to any friend of that hero who will accept and cherish it and hand it down to posterity.” Turning to Attorney-General Harmon, a resident of Cincinnati, which was also George Lyttle’s home, General Gordon presented it to him. Subsequently Cap- tain Silas Mofort of Cincinnati informed General Harmon that General Lyttle’s nephew, the son of his sister, was present on the ground and Mr. Harmon sent the precious relic to him. Another relative of George Lyttle, who was a soldier also, was founa to be present. This incident having closed, General Longstreet made a short address, which unfortunately was delivered in so low a tone as to be inaudible aiter the first few sentences more than a dozen feet away. Cries were renewed for favorite Gover- nors, but Vice-President Stevenson pre- sented Lieutenant-General Schofield, who said: “Our forefathers who framed the constitution left on record the fact that by so0 doing tney sought to establish a more perfect union of the States. They laid a broad foundation, but the union remained imperfect. It was left for you to debate for four years the questions unsettled by the fathers, and after a terribly earnest argument to settle them. For the first time in the history of this continent there now exists a united, happy and harmoni- ous people. That perfect union has now been established by the services which you laid at the feet of our common country.” At this point, the heat being intense, Governor Morion felt compelled to retire, and his departure, accompanied by his imposing and numerous staff, was taken by many of the audience to mean the com- pletion of the programme. The conse- quence was that the exercises were abruptly and somewhat unexpectedly brought to a close. The occasion, despite the intense heat and the immense crowd in attendance, patsed off without a single unpleasant feature or incident, the acci- dent to Governor Upham of Wisconsin having occurred at a place remote from the scenes of the dedications and some time before it began. General Granville M. Dodge, president of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, presided over the reanion of the survivors of the army of that name who served in either the Unien or Confederate ranks, which closed the proceedings of the first day of the dedications of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park. It was held in the large tent in the city, which would be an ideal place for exercises of this kind but for the fact that it is located alongside a railroad yard and the puffing and shrieking of switch engines is too often the only sound that can be heard twenty feet from the platform. The first speaker was General 0. O, How- ard, the one-armed Christian soldier. He was followed by Congressman Joseph Wheeler of Alabama. General Wiliard Warner of Chattanooga was the next speaker. He departed from the lines usually followed on such occasions and discnssed the question of socialism, “Not the socialism of Bellamy, or Keir Hardie or Carl Marx, but the socialism of States and municipalities.” The officiai and otherwise distinguished visitors, who have made Chattanooga the cynosure of the whole country for the past few days, will soon disappear from the city. The Wisconsin delegation started to-night for Atlanta. Attorney-General Harmon and Secre- taries herbert, Wilson and 8mith expect to leave in the morning for Washington. Governor Greenhalge of Massachusetts is expected to depart to-morrow night. There was a reunion to-night of the Con- federate Veterans in the National Guard armory, at which several of tha more prominent ones made speeches. Governor Morton, after the exercises at the park, rode over Lookout Mountain and spent a short time enjoying the breezes there. This evening he calied upon Governor and Mrs. McKinley at the residence of Hon. H. Clay Evans. To-morrow after the parade, Governor Morton and party wiil leave for Atlanta. S e GOVERNOR UPHAM INJURED. Caught in @ Carriage Accident While Out Driving. CHATTANOOGA, 1ENN., Sept. 19.—The only accident of the week so far to mar the pleasure of the people of Chattanooga and their guests occurred to-day, Governor W. H. Upham of Wisconsin being the victim. With Mrs. and Miss Upham and Miss Fairchild, daughter of ex-Governor Fair- child, he started to drive to Lookout Mouutain. They were accompanied by General and Mrs. Fairchild and Mr. and Mrs. Cheek, who occupied a second carriage. At a point in the road where a biuff was upon one side and a pelisade upon the other, the team to Governor Upham’s carriage balked, and backing struck the frame and the occupants were compelled to jump to save their lives, as they thought. The ladies alight ed safely, but Governor Upbam fractured the small bone of the right leg between the knee and ankle. He was conveyed to the inn after some delay and the injured member dressed by Dr. Plummer, who was a surgeon with Gen- eral Sherman in the war. The injury is Dot at all serious and the Governor will be able to travel in a few days. He will be on crutches for several weeks, FOUR NEW RECORDS, Made on Bicycles at the Opening Day at Napa. EE RODE LIKE A DEMON. Remarkable Feat of Foster in Lowering the Half Mile Record. WENT FASTER THAN A QUAD. Two World and Two Coast Records Changed by California Scorchers. NAPA, Cav., Sept. 190—The first day of the cycling meeting proved a red-letter day for short-distance record smashing. There was a little too much wind on the back- stretch for any very swift time to be made in the mile races, but the homestretch was sheltered and the track as smooth as a floor, so the half and quarter records were considerably lowered. Foster went against the world’s half-mile record, paced by a quad, and made the distance in 50 4-5 seconds, thus knocking three-fifths of a second off the record. ¥os- ter rode like a demon, and seeing that the quad could not pace him fast enough, he left them on the last eighth and beat them fifteen yards. It is believed that Foster could have rode in 50 flat if the quad had set a faster pace. Agnur and Otey made an unpaced mile on a tandem in 2:10 3-5, breaking the coast record by one-fifth of a second. Chapman and Parker of Napa beat the world’s unpaced tandem record for the quarter mile in 24 flat, thus putiing the class A record below the class B by one- fifth of a second. Metcalf took a big piece off the coast half-mile record, flying start and paced by tandem, making the distance in 1:01 3-5. One mile handicap, cless A, first heat—Wing, 60; Freeman, 35. Time, 2:22. Second heat— Crait, 85; Byrne, scraich. Time, 2:30 3-5. Third heat- Metealf, 60; McFarland, scnwr. Time, 2:30 5-5. Final heat—Craft and Metcalf. Time, 2:47. One mile scratch, class B, post race—Hall led to first quarter; Cushing led the balance of the race. Time, 2:34 3-5. One mile scratch, class A—Ackerman, Down- ing and Byrne. Time, 2:16 4-5. Oue mile hanaicap, class B—Edwards, scrateh; Long, 85, Nissen, 60. Time, 2:33 4-5. In the third heat of the class A handi- cap, Ecklon was thrown near the seven- eights pole and quite badly hurt. His left cheek was torn from the eye downward, and the lower eyelid badly torn also. He was stunned for a minute, but soon re- vived and walked to the training quarters, where Drs. Pulsifer and Smith dressed the wound. Five stitches were taken in the wound. The accident caused great excite- orrow’s programme will contain a one-mile hnndu:zg), class A; one- mile nandicap, class B; ten-furlong scratch, class A; and ten-furlong scratch, class B. in the morning Foster will go against the world’s mile record of 1:45.

Bailey, referee; judges — William Hailey, F. E. Scott and Judge Frank Dunn; timers—C. N, Ravlin, Charles Har- grave and Sam Picket; clerk of course, B. C. Clark; starter, William Hailey; an- nouncer, Wilbur £. Knapp. Pl Y £ 50 STOCKTON'S TRACK. ON It Was an Extremely Bad Day for the Talent. STOCKTON, CaL., Sept. 19.—To-day was a good day at the track. The talent made a mistake in picking Warrago in the three- quarter-mile dash, but Gracie S, the favor- ite in the five-furlong dash, was an easy winner. The talent was sadly bewildered in the special trot, which it took six heats to decide. Mojave was a favorite at first, but when Edwin A had taken the first heat she miade friends. After the third heat the starters for the fourth had a heat each to their favor and the talent was at sea. By considerable hedging they ‘man- aged to draw down a little money, but it was not their day. There was no betting on the district trotting race with Lady Vestal, Mariposa and Jasper Ayre as starters. Jasper sold favorite, $20 to $7. the night before, but no one would put any money against him at the track. Two instances of trotters regaining their feet in incredibly short distances were shown by Mojave in the fifth heat of the special trot and by Jasper Ayres in the second heat of the district trotting event. Their phenomenal settling down scored to both the respective heats. The attendance was larger to-day than on any previous day, there being a notably large number of vehicles about. The racing closed with the daylight. In the ladies’ equestrienne exhibition contest, with five entries, prizes for all, Miss Frankie Cowell took first prize, Miss Mary C. Glen second, Miss Alma Fuson third, Miss Alice Ruth fourth, and Miss Mabel Colby fifth. Running. three-quarters of a mile, purse $150, selling race, winner to be sold for $800.

It Has Offered $60,000 for the Corbett- Fitzsimmon Fight. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Sept. 19.— J. 8. Purdy, chairman of the fiesta com- mittee, telegraphed Richard K. Fox of New York to-day offering the use of the amphitfeater, right in the heart of the city, enlarged to any required size, for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, with a purse of $60,000, the money being now in bank, if the fight takes place here instead of Dallas, Texas. It is thought probable that the offer will be accepted, as it is evident it caunot come off in Texas from the attitude of the Governor. The railroads promise the cheapest ex- cursion rates should the fight come off here. The dispatch to Fox stated that four finish fights took place in the am- phitheater last night, and that there would be no trouble with or interference by the officers ofthe law. el e Foresters’ Outing at Santa Monica.

She found that the bank on August 24, under an order in handwriting resembling that of Mrs. Lang- try, and bearing a counterpart of her sig- nature, requiring the bank to give the jewels to “bearer” had delivered them as directed. Mrs. Langtry declares that the order wasa forgery, and has placed the matter in the hands of the police, who thus far have been unable to trace the forger or the jewels. gabetal OO Thanked by the Pope.

Three Ballots Were Taken During Scenes of Wild Confusion. PLANKS IN THE PLATFORM. They Advocate Freedom From Ballot-Box Stuffers and Race~ track Gamblers. TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 19.—The Repub- lican State Convention was called to order at 12:10 p. M. to-day by Franklin Murphy. | Rev. Dr. Hanlon of Pennington Seminary | offered prayer. Mr, Murphy then intro- | duced Congressman Mahlon Pilney as temporary chairman, who then addressed the convention. After some prelilainary routine business, during which the names of various candidates were vigorously cheered, the convention tcok a recess. Upon reassembling the committee on permanent organization recommended J. Frank Fort of Essex for chairman, and that gentleman, having been escorted to the chair, addressed the delegates, depre- cating the introduction of National issues into the State campaign. He said that the people of New Jersey had been like the Israelites of old, going through the wilder- ness of corruption, but they were within sight of the Canaan of good government. The platform, which was then presented by the committee on resolutions and adopted by the convention, opposes any attempt to impose upon this country a de- based or depreciated currency, and reiter- ates a firm belief in the wisdom and benefi- cence of a tax upon imports which will af- ford protection to American industries and render an adequate revenue. The platform concludes: “It is the highest and most imperative duty of intelligent and patriotic voters of New Jersey at this time to unite in a supreme effort to wipe out the last vestige of the stain left upon the fair name of the State by the ballot-box stuffers, the race- track gamblers and the political tricksters from whose clutches she has been g0 hap- pily released, and we earnestly appeal to all voters, without regard to political affiliations, to join us in the high and patriotic purpose of establishing upon a sure foundation a clean and honest State Government.” Nominations for Governor being in order, J. E. Abbott of Atlantic presented | the name of Congressman John J.Gardner of Atlantic. William S. Johnson of Ber- gen nominated John W. Griggs of Passaic. Other regular nominees were: Maurice A. Rogers of Camden, State Senator Voorhees | of Union, Elias Ward of Essex and John Kean of Union. Three ballots were taken, resulting as follows: First—Kean 207, Griggs 294, Voorhees 74, Rogers 79, Ward 168, Toffey 1, | Gardner 23; necessary to choice, 424. Sec- ond—Kean 248, Griggs 338, Voorhees 65, ‘Ward 166, Rogers 29, Toffey 1. There was great disorder between the second and third ballots, the Ward and Griggs adherents trying to drown each other’s shouts and the ballot was taken amid much confusion. Chairman Fort worked hard to sustain order. In the midst of more or less con- fusion the third ballot was taken. Hudson went bodily over to Griggs and the latter's nomination was achieved. Cumberland, Salem and other counties followed Hudson’s suit and then the nomi- nation was made unanimous. oot IN NAVAL ARCHITECTURE. The Great Designers May Do Some Work for Uncle Sam. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 19.—The Herreshoffs, the great yacht-builders, may | be given a chance to show what they can do in the way of naval architecture. When bids were opened at the Navy Department for the construction of three sea-going torpedo-boats authorized by Congress the Herreshoffs were found to be the lowest bidders. Their bids, however, were for the construction of the vessels upon their own plans. These plans were referred by Secre- tary Herbert to_Chief Coustructor Hich- | born and Chief Engineer Melville for con- sideration and report. After a careful examination these officers | found that the boats can be built as pro- | posed by the Herreshoffs, and their report | to Secretary Herbert will recommend that the contract be given to that firm. ®ome alterations were made in the plans, which the Herreshoffs will have to accept if they wish to undertake the contract. It was the intention of Congress to have one of these vessels built on the Pacific Coast, one on the gulf and one on the Mississippi. No bids were received from the Misuissifini or the gulf, and onlry one, that of the Herreshoffs, from the Atlantic. Under the act the Secretary can contract with the Herreshoffs, as he was authorized to build the vessels at any place in this country if the bids from the places specited | were unreasonable orif none were received.

No More Will the Faithful Use the Valuable Grain for Bulld- ing Fires. OMAHA, NEeBR., Sept.19.—The crown- ing act and triumph of the Nebraska State Fair adjunct observances was the celebra- tion of the Feast of Mondamin by the Or- This was the fourth and last event of carnival week, and was undoubtedly the most bril- liant and significant event of the sort ever seen in the West. The Feast of Monda- min is the term used to express the great corn crop which Mondamin, the king of corn, has bestowed upon his subjects. The Knights of Ak Sar Ben is an organization of the 1eading business and society men of Omaha. Samson, Lord Hizh Chamber- lain to his Majesty Ak Sar Ben, bad issued commands to his faithful servants to pay their devotions to thisgod Mondamin he Den, which was once called the Coli- seum, and in which the Populists held a National convention in 1892, was trans- formed into a palace of beauty in prepara- tion for the great ball, at which the King and Queen Ak Sar Ben are to be erowned. Ak Sar Ben is, of course, an inverted spell- ing of Nebraska, but not over a thousand people present knew it. The tradition as exemplified by the oem which will be published by the gVorld-Herald to-morrow morning is that the sons of the province of Nebraska be came indifferent to the good deeds of Mondamin and the beneficence of corn. They failed to thank him for his good acts and even went so far as to burn the corn while there were manf‘ in want for this corn. Hence he laid last year a blight upon the land of Nebraska and it was burned by drought and its meadows were parched, men and beasts starved and want was abroad in this province.. Winter and cold made the misery greater. But the cries of the destitute touched the heart of Mondamin and he gave rain in abundance, so that the State was filled with plenty, and he commanded that ail his subjects should come to Omaha to worship. Hence the parade and celebration. This parade was formed of twenty of the great floats of the last Mardi Gras celebra- tion at New Orleans, adapted to these con- ditions, and were rich in beauty and coloring. The largest crowd which ever assembled on the streets of Omaha was here to-night and witnessed these floats attended by gorgesusly attired knights, and the delight and enthusiasm of the spectators were great. All stores were closed to-day, and the theaters and night races and amusements did not open until after the parade, which was not completed until 10:30 o'clock. The clti; was in gala attire and shone with brilliance. After the' parade the knights returned io the Den, where the great ball was held. The grand march was led by the King and Queen, yet in mask, and 500 other couples. After the grand march came the crowning of the King and Queen and their unmasking and the revelation of their identity, which has been kept a secret until to-night. A very great crowd was at the Den and the ball will last until morn- ing. Forty-tive of the most beautiful and prominent ladies of the city are in attend- ance upon the Queen, and their costumes are very fine. The ball itself is said to be the most successful and elegant social function ever held west of the Missouri, pbere) e Sty Mentioned the Wrong Bank.

Is 1t to Tell the Truth at Al Times and in All Piaces? TOLARE COUNTY HAS ONE FRANKLY HONEST MAN. He Sets an Example Which Is Well Worthy Emulation by Those “Who Sit In High Places”—He Speaks Freely of What He Knows. N THESE DAYS OF TURMOIL HONESTY seems to be at & premium, and the man who has a reputation that 1s mot besmirched is looked on as “one of the chosen few amongst the many.” And the possession of such a char- acter is sometimes worth more than a snug bank account. To have the esteem of all of one's fellow citizens is something by no means to be despised, and when to that is added the trust which is implied by the expression, “What he says yon may implicitly rely on,” the standing of the individual of whom this is said is second tonone in the community for integrity. Few men enjoy such a reputation, but a noteworthy instance of those who do is N.J. Brown, the well-known rancher of Tulare County. He has lived in the county for about ten years and has spent his time “tickling the ground with a hoe” in order that it might “laugh with the harvest of plenty” for him, and he has done fairly well. Not quiteas well ashe would have done had he continuously been in good health, for every farmer knows that unless he person- ally directs the work on his ranch the crops are not likely to be as good as if he had superintended matters himseli. But to the story. Mr. Brown worked away steadily for yearsat his fruit land and bent his whole energies to securing & competence for himself. He grew to be respected by all who knew him for his untiring energy, his straightiorward character and his pleasant disposition asa friend and neighbor. The trees grew under his patient care, and future prospeets seemed brighter and brighter as the days of toil ran into months and the months were woven into years. But & change came. Mr. Brown, as Shakespeare says, “thought all men mortal ‘but himself,” and the idea that he was going to be ill seems never to have crossed his mind. But, like & thief tn the night, slowly and silently & nervous disorder was spreading it- self throughout his entire system, and one day he found that he was, however unwilling he ‘was to admit it, utterly unfit for doinganother day’s work. The outlook was not pleasant. As time went on he grew worse, and his lips be- came bloodless, his eyes became dim and his nervous system more and more shattered. He was on the very verge of complete prostration before help came, and, although it came none 100 soon, when it did come it worked what ap- ared 1o be almost a miracle in restoring to mm health and vigor. He had heard of the grand old Hudson Medical Institute, which is doing such splendid work for all those who are i?l. and applied to ihe physicians there for relief,’and aiter having been treated by them for three months he feels impelled to make the following frankly honest statement: I N. J. Brown, being in good sound mind, do offer the following as a_testimonlal of the skil ot the various physicians of the Hudson Medical In- stitute who attended (o my difficuities during the past three months. It affords me pleasure to give my testimonial as to your skillful treatn When I applied 10 you about three months ago [ was indecd a wreck. I had almost given up all idea of being able to attend to my work, and in fact had lost the vim and vigor for which I was noted. Whilst it may scem very strange to some people, it is nevertheless the truth that to-day T am a weil man, and I em pléased indeed with my well-veing. That which [ have I owe 10 the puysi- clans of the Hudson Medical Institute. Troublea as I was with nervous prostration and general de- bility. which had been coming on {Or several years, and to waich I gave hut little aitenion until T placed myself in your hands, I expecied almost nothing. I was extremely nervous and despond- ent. Now [am strong and vigorous and can joy- fully go back t0 the ranca, feeling that I am n per- fect health. This is the truth, for noone doubts this man’s word. He is known as “honest six-footed Brown” by his friends. This is no_exceptioual case among the many thousands who have been ireated at the Insti- tute—no indeed. The Hon. W. W. Bachelder of Denver, Colo., writes: “I find but few words 10 express my appre- ciation for the benefit that bas been bestowed on me by the Hudson Medical Tnstitute.” W. F. Timms of Petaluma says: “I was freated * "% without any benefit vntil I went to the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE, and now I have been transformed into an entirely different man.” i irchild of Stockton stutes: “For twelve years I was afllicted with Jnervous prostration; now, thanks to the HunsoN MepIcAL INSTITUTE, 1 feel that life is again worth living.” All curable diseases are cured quickly, sclen- tifically, safely and quietly at the Institute, and until you have been told by the physicians at the Institute that your case is incurable thers is hope for you. The Hudson Medical Institute now occupies the large white building at the junction of Stockton, Ellis and Market streats, San Francisco, California.
