Nore.—The following lines are written as an “‘attempt’’ to illustrate the spirit of ancient Celtic poetry, and in the hope that some recognized modern poet will take up the old Celtic songs and sing them for us. The lines refer toan Irish Prince wrecked on the coast of Gaul and sacrificed by the Druids. W.G. H. O priest! And Iethna, Iethna hath 0 soul of my soul: and O And a sigh like the breat Ay; forgotten—the dead past claims me now. Some will remember me as Finola, Son of Fedorach, Erin’s well-loved king. Nor king nor country need that I should live, For one poor life adds nothing to her wealth; But there, Iethna, fairest of the fair, My wife, fond mother of my one brave boy, Stands on the gray wall of Fedorach’s tower, And seaward gazes with her longing eyes Lives there one tender thought within thy heart, Then feel the pathos of her woe. THE CRY OF IETHNA. Lo! Cormach, the harper, hath sounded his wail; It is swept over mountain and moor by the gale; 'Tis the dirge of my race for the dying and dead. shrouded her head, As she moans on the tower of the castle apart, heart of my heart!” And she calls to the wind of the West in her fear, “Bring the voice of my loved one once more to my ear;" But the wind of the West echoes faintly again, ““He hears not, he heeds not, thy call is in vain.”” “0 wind of the North-land,” she murmurs once more, “Doth Finola abide on thy desolate shore?” And the wind of the North on the wings of the blast Shrieks backward, ‘I know not,’”” and hurtles him past, %0 wind of the South, with a voice soft and low, Sing sweetly. I prithee, and solace my woe!” h of a zephyr sweeps by, “Finola now sleeps with his face to the sky.” She turns to the Eastern wind, cutting and cold— “Hast thou seen my beloved, so tender and bold ?”? Like the thrust of a dagger the East wind replies: ““Go seek for thy love in the grave where he lies!” O priest, is thy heart dead to her cry? Ah, yes; Unheeded, unheard is Iethna’s plaint? Thou art & priest and wisdom should be thine, Or else thy silver locks are but a sign To mark the progress of unfruitful years; And all thy dignity but pomp and show. Baut I will take thee for what thou seemest— A holy man the ages have made wise. And yet thou speakest of life and of death As if thyself did hold the mystic key ‘That opens wide the gateways of the worlds ‘Which lie within the presence of the gods. Look now, good priest, upon that grinning skull That fitly rests on yonder stone and gibes At us in all its horrid deadliness. Canst thou, O priest, replace the soul’s twin stars, ‘Which erstwhile cast their soft reflected light On the rich garb of velvet flesh that hid Those hollow cheeks and harsh repellant brow? Canst thou restore to it the flushing flame That spoke the passage of the crimeon life And made the pale cheeks blush with holy fire? Look you: from out those toothless, gaping jaws Came silver tones that touched a maiden’s heart, Or clarion cries that roused a nation’s soul, Or words of wisdom where the truth did shine, As precious stones reflect their perfect light, 1f thou canst not restore, why dare destroy? Canst thou rebuild the temple of the gods? Art thou a god? Canst thou, O priest, create? Thy feeble form and wrinkled face proclaim That thou are but a child of common earth, ‘Who dares to idly play with things divine. Thy gods, are they not brutal in their thirst For blood? Or dost thou deem thyself a god? ‘Whate'er thou art, I scorn, O priest, to plead For life and liberty from thee or thine; But since thy locks are hoar with age, I give A gracious ear to all thy questioning. *From whence came I?” I came from that far land, Set like a jewel in the ocean’s rim, ‘Where, by the western sea’s storm-beaten marge, Terna rests; mother of mighty men, The lore of all the ages is her own. / Roll back the armor that so stoutly guards % The white heart of yon tree, whose feathered plumes From our poor eyes the Reach npward to the very clouds which hide everlasting hills, ‘Where dwell in golden light immortal gods; There read the record, old as time 1tself, The wondrous story of my race and kin, Of Erin, child of weird romance and song. A BACHELOR'S PARADISE The New Man Proclaims His Independence of the Fair Sex. How San Franclsco Ministers to the Wants of Its Unattached Men. The new man has asserted himself in San Francisco and made his presence known in a manner quite unique. He nas, by his actions, if not declared war upon members of the other sex at least issued his manifesto of independence. The bache- lor has arisen in his might and has gotten unto himself a residence, well located, sur- rounded with modern conveniences and furnished in a style which would delight i 4 ury and necessitates the employment of a valet. The Parisian system of apartment- houses has proved no better, since the bachelor is constantly under the eye of and subject to dicfation from Mme. la Concierge, who as a rule is an unmitigated nuisance. “‘Lights outat 10 ». m.; if not in your room at that hour we recommend the — hotel.” So runs the sarcastic no- tice in more than one large Parisian apartment-house. It has been reserved for San Francisco to take along steg in advance in the art of ministering to the wants of its bachelor inhabitants. The originator of the great idea is a prominent attorney of this City, himself a bachelor. Briefly outlined, this is the scheme: A four-story building, solely for the use of bachelors, has been erected at the cor- ner of Van Ness avenue and Geary street. Singularly enough, the builaing is owned by a woman. The experiment cost her in the neighborhood of $30,000, exclusive of | the price of the plat of land. The interior | of the building has been divided into some | fitteen suites of rooms and fifteen single | apartments. ! 'The rooms have been beautifully deco- TR A NOOK IN A BACHELOR’S DEN, [From a photograph.] the eye of Timon or any other misogynist. Up tp the present woman, lovely woman, has controlled the reform snd lock-out market. In convention, meeting and con- gress she has asserted her ability to get along without man. She has encroached upon his sphere to a dangerous extent. A recent edition of the San Francisco Bulle- tin devoted three columns of space to self- styled bachelor maids, who have declared themselves ancipated. And now long- suffering man has arisen in revolt. Since time immemorial the question of bachelor existence has been a problem of large proportions. In London its solution was aimed at by the éstablishment of flats. This to some extent got over the difficulty, but in London a flat is an expensive lux- rated and furnished by a promirent firm of decorators. Dark oak and walnut are | the prevailing materials. The carpets, mantels and trimmings are of the finest. | Amnple closet room finds a place in each suite or room. Neat little cupboards and niches :re set aside for toilet articles and medicine chests. . | Attached to each suite of apartments are lavatory accommodations. Porcelain bath- tubs and fittings of the most modern type are installed with hot and cold water, of course for toddies or baths. Incandescent lights attached to hand- some brackets are placed throughout the house. Gas lamps also depend from ceil- ing and wall, in order to provide for emer- gency cases. Should one of the bachelor residents de- sire to give a party to a few of his chosen cronies, his wishes can be catered to; for No sigh escapes thee; her plea is in vain. Then am I dumb, or speak only thy doom. Beware, false priest, before von crescent moon Shall once more touch with her pale, silver glow The fretwork of green which circles us now; The wise and the true shall scoff at thy creed. And these Druid groves shall echo the praises Of the gospel of peace, good-will and love. Not thy victim, but thy victor, priest, am I, And by my faith I conquer thee and death. WriLtiaM GREER HARrIsON. on the top floor is located a well-furnished | dining parlor capable of seating two dozen | or more, and one day’s notice of the com- | ing event is all that is necessary. | The usual procedure in regard to eating | in the house is very simple. Orders are left the night previous by the bachelor for ‘ whatever he may desire to eat for break- fast. This order is entered, it being un- derstood that one ring of the bell on ri: ing will produce the morning meal. Up to the present, this rule has workea per- | iectlfi. It can, of course, be applied to | lunch or dinner, but in that event, a short | notice must be given, as most bachelors | prefer to take their luncheon and dinner | downtown. On the ground floor, with an entrance on Geary street,a whist club has been | established. This portion of the house has been leased to outsiders, though as man of its members have friends in the bnild- ing it may virtually be said to be a part of the accommodations furnished to residents of the house. The occupants of the house at present include a banker, wine merchant, doctor, naval officer, several attorneys and an architect. It will therefore be seen that San Francisco’s movement to the help of its bachelor inhabitants is appreciated by thelclaases to whom it most directly ap- eals. pTo finally enhance the value of all this | to the man who hath not taken unto him- self a wife, and does not intend to, none but members of his own sex are permitted to cross the threshold of this Encbelors‘ aradise. The rustle of skirts is never eard within its walls, and aaingy femi- nine fingers have had no part in decorating the rooms for the accommodation of these emancipated men. Thus has the bachelor declared his inde- pendence of woman, and in such a man- ner does San Francisco provide for all his wants. And yet who can tell what the future wilt bring forth? Mayhap some day the passer-by in search for lodgings may see exhibited in one of the windows of the bachelors’ home a card with the legend “to let,’”’ and ngou inquiry may find that the occupant has gone over to the great majority of benedicts. LIGHTNING ATTRACTED BY GOLD.—An ex- traordinary case of lightning-stroke fatal- ity is reported from Shoeburyness, Eng- land. A man was walking along a footpath shaded by trees. As he was passing under the last tree of the row, the lightning flash struck him. He was killed instantly. No wound was apparent. The hair was singed short over the leit side of the head. The left eyebrow and eyelashes and the left side of the mustache were practically gone. There were burns on the left cheek and under the left lower jaw, on the left thorax and sternum and over the abdomen. The burns were of varioussizesand interrupted, the largest being about 1}4 inches in diameter. Wherever the "burns were made, the epidermis was entirely de- stroyed and gone. By contrast with these comparatively slight signs of the passage of the fatal current, its effect on the clothing of the man was strangely fantastic. The hat was found to be in small shreds, but the coat and waistcoat were only slightly damaged. A blue woolen jersey was almost unin- jured. The gray flannel shirt was split in the same direction as the burns, and a merino undervest next the skin was split in the line of the burns two-thirds from above downward; the edges of the vest crumbled when handled, but were not charred black. There was a hole through the watch pocket. The trousers were !pfit into long vertical ribbons in both legs, but more especially along the line of the burns, The right pocket was blown to shreds. Its contents, about fourteen shillings in silver, were picked up at the time of re- moving the body. The drawers were very much torn. lace»us The pattern. shoes were of the Some brass nails had started in the heel of the rieht shoe; half the inner uppers of each shoe was entirely gone and the metal eyelets were burned out. The right shoe was blown completely off the foor. The collars and cuffs were in shreds. The bow necktie was split in two in the middle. In the left hand breast pocket of the de- ceased were found thirty-seven sovereigns and twenty-eight half-sovereigns in a com- mon leather,” jaw-opering purse, which had a metal rim, and closed by two small knobs. Nearly all the coins were wrapped up in separate pieces of thin paper, and | the Eurse was tied up in a handkerchief. In the waistcoat pocket on the right side was a silver matchbox containing two un- ignited wax matches, also a silver Geneva watch. Two of the half-sovereigns were slightly fused and adhering together; one sovereign was yurnv fused on one side, as though a splash of metal had been thrown on it. Many of the gold coins and also of the silver coins showed fusion of the mill- ing of the edges only. The watch had a hole one-fourth of an inch in diame- ter through the oute- case by the hinge, a splash of metal on the rim of the dome and another on the bow. The metal rim of the purse was fused inside and the purse had a hole through one side of the leather. There can be no doubt that the gold at- tracted the lightning, Had the deceased not been immediately under the tree his head would probably not have been struck first, but the gold would have received the discharge direct. The path of the current was through the head, to the largest burn on the left chest (close to the heart’s apex), then on to the gold in the inner breast ocket, thence to the right trousers pocket containing the silver), touching the watch on its way, and giving a slight radiation toward the match-box.

Hundreds of Claims Have Been Located on Islands in the Fraser Estuary. [Spectal Correspondence of TEE OALL. | VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 3.—Mining developments in all parts of the many great ore-bearing distritsc of the province are creating here and in all the other cities of British Columbia an amount of excite- ment hitherto unparalleled in Western Canada. Even within thedistrict immedi- ately surrounding Vancouver, which has not before been regarded as likely to be rich in the precious metals, there are reports of promising gold finds in the hills above Seymour Creek, within six miles of the city, and at Agassiz, forty-five miles east, while more guarded reports as to similar possibilities on the hillsides about Mount Crown, directly opposite Vancou- ver and across Burrard Inlet, are also attracting attention. It1s also stated that the Burrard Inlet mountains in general contain large quantities of refractory low- grade gold ore running from $6 to $8 to the ton, which ore, though at present incap- able ot profitable treatment, may some day by more perfect appliances be rendered capable of effective extraction. There 15 also zinc among the minerals in the same mountains, though it is not yet ascertained to what extent this is capable of profitable working. Meanwhile at Jeri- cho, just beyond the city limits, borings for coal have already struck some small seams, and the shrewd capitalists behind the undertaking express themselves very confident of soon striking a much wider and richer vein. On Lulu Island and Sea Island in the Fraser Estuary, at points equidistant from Vancouver and New Westminster, traces of gold already discovered in the course of artesian well boring have caused the location of nearly 200 claims, covering several hundred acres of ground in the im- mediate neighborhood. It may be men- tioned that every one of the claimants has sworn, as required by law, that he believes that there is *‘rock in place” on his loca- tion. Although thera would seem to be not a little of the boom and perhaps fake element in this Lulu Island excitement, there sre many shrewd men who believe that there is consideratle gold underlying the land in question. Meanwhile, further up the coast but within convenient reach of Vancouver as a future smelting- point, there are being made good finds of gold-bearing copper ore, and on various islands of the Gulf of Georgia, notably Texada, prospecting par- ties have lately been at work with appar- ently likely results, as regards precious metals and copper discoveries in several places, On Texada Island in particular prospec- tors who have shown samples of ore de- clare that they have found tin deposits in large and paying quantities; but they hold themselves so reserved on the matter that exact particulars have been hitherto un- available. Should the alleged tin discov- eries on Texada be verified the resuits will be of inestimable value to the province, since the Pacific Coast demand for tin- ware is so large and constantly increasing that mines ef that metal would certainly yizld larger returns that most gold mines, and as certainly, good coal being plentiful in the immediate neighborhood at Nanai- mo, lead to the establishment of a large and flourishing {in-plate industry. Meanwhile on Vancouver Island new discoveries of good coal have lately been made at Saanich and elsewhere, and hun- dreds of prospectors are busy at work in the Alberni gold district, in various parts of which recent assays have shown such rich deposits that Vancouver and Victoria capitalists are already expending large sums in preliminary overations. Notwithstanding the promise of good things to come in and about Burrard Inlet, close to the mainland cities and on Van- couver Island, within comparatively easy reach of Victoria and Nanaimo, results are yetin these parts as nothing compared with what is being done in the great mine region of the British Columbia upper coun- try. The ?\uicksilver mines at Savonas are in full work, and word comes that several other quicksilver deposits will be similarly operated in the early future, while the first large shipment of mica from the North Thompson district has just been made to Baltimore. It is however in gold, silver and copper that by far the most valuable present output of upper country ores is now being made, and the steady increase of the production of these metals in all parts now worked foretells a boom that will, in the opinion of American experts, who are flocking into the province by hundreds, astonish the world at large in the course of, at the latest, a'little more than twelve months. In the famous Cariboo region the hy- draulic gold companies will certanly, ere the end of their present very short season of oreration, put out considerably over $100,000 worth of gold, while at least double this amount should result from the opera- tion of several hundred busy mine-workers in_other parts of a district, the new de- velopment of the auriferous mining of which is as yet only in its veriest infancy. Many noted experts agree in saying that there is far more gold wealth in Cariboo than has ever yet been extracted and con- sider that when deep mining is sufficiently advanced results should accrue which must as greatly astonish the world at large as similar operations have done in the gold fields of Colorado. In the Okanagan country preliminary operations are in many parts showing clearly that there are close to the inter- national boundary line exceptionally rich copper deposits, also bearing gold in very vrofitable quantities, and as the distriet is also a splenaid ranch country all interested are certain that although the present year’s local output of valuable ore will be small, there will be sufficient development to en- courage a remarkable exvmansion of the eneral production and wealth of the 8kanagun in the course of tha next two or three years. In East Kootenay, too, good finds of gold and gslena have been made at many points, and the North Star mine will almost immediately be shipping to the smelter at Jennings, Mont., large quan- tities of silver-lead ore. So rich, however, are the mines of more fully developed districts of the province, notably West and South Kootenay, that the great mineral possibilities of East Kootenay are still very largely unascer- tained, while many rich and promising de- sits already located remain unworked g’%m lack of introduced capital. Among other minerals yet untouched in East Kootenay are known to be large deposits of asbestos. In West and South Kootenay, however, there has long been far mere than mere promise and the total output of the pre- cious metal bearing ore from these dis- tricts should, ere the close of the year, amount to about $3,500,000, although the present year only witnesses the output of, at most, about a score of large mining vroperties, while active developments in progress on probably five times number of good mine claims in the neigh- borhood of those already working and in several notable instances at Trail Creek and in the Slocan Valley paying large divi- dends at intervals of a few weeks. It may consequently with certainty be predicted that whatever be the final output of precious metal ores in South and West Koutenay as the result of the operations of 1895, the next twelve months will see such output trebled in dimensions and profit earnings at a most conservative estimate. Already the ore and base bullion output of South Kootenay alone amount in value to over §$2,200,000, and the coming weeks of winter will witness the haulage over the hard-bound mine roads and trails of quan- tities of ore now lying on the mine dumps, which will enormously increase the pres- ent weekly output of the mines. Deals by English and American investors are now approaching completion in all parts of South Kootenay, involving an aggregate that must at least approach $2,000,000, while the owners of the famous Silver King mine at Nelson, West Kootenay, have almost completed their smelting and concentrating appliances, which will en- able a large immediate output of base bul- lion as the outcome of immensely rich silver-lead ore running well over $100 to the ton on the average. Recent railway developments have, moreover, now for the first time tapped some of the richest mine districts of West and South Kootenay ana rendered available shipments from what are undoubtedly some of the richest silver mines in the world. But it is, after all, probably in the gold and copper districts of the Kootenay coun- try, and notably such centers as Trail Creek, Cariboo Creek and Boundary Creek, that the greatest profits of all should ac- crue in the immediate future, since the combination of gold and copper is for profit-earning purposes far stronger than that of silver and lead. British copper kings are interesting themselves in several large intended ven- tures at Trail Creek and elsewhere, and confidently rely on the richness of the province’s vast copper deposits as a means that should surely enable them, if neces- sary, to counteract any cornering opera- tior:s attempted elsewhere on this con- tinent, but with the exception of this special and notable effort, the details of | which are very largely concealed from | observation at the present, almost all the | great mineral developments of West and South Kootenay are in the hands of American _capitalists and American miners, whose great present center is Spokane. They are apparently as deter- mined to acquire and hold for themselves by perfectly legal and legitimate means the vast precious mineral wealth of British Columbia as are British and French in- vestors to reap the large profit obtainable from the similar and probably larger | precious metal hoards of the Transvaal | and British South Africa. The Americans | know a good thing when they see 1t quicker than any nation in the world, and having | geen their opportunity seize upon it un- | hesitatingly, backing it with sufficient | hard cash, while the British investor hums | and haws and allows the promoting | middleman to carry off the cream of the profits obtainable. TRE MORNING DRAM. ‘What a Cup of Good Coffee Consists Of and Its Effect. Looking at it from what learned theo- logians call the theological point of view, it ought easily to take rank above all the drinks that cheer but not inebriate, gently stimulating the brain, improving the tem- per and generally diffusing throughout the entire system an atmosphere of active optimism and benevolence, That it is capable of accomplishing all this and a good deal more no one will deny who has ever indulged in the luxury of a real cup of coffee, made from recently roasted beans and prepared with distilled water. | It would be still more powerful for good if made according to the recipe for what is known in some countries as ‘‘double coffee,” viz.: if instead of water coffee were used. Then, and then only, can it come up to the standard which is very rarely sought to be attained, which demands that it be ‘“black as night, as hot as Hades, as strong as death and as sweet as love.” Coffee prepared in accord- ance with this recipe can maintain its claims to the title of ‘‘ladies’ nectar,” just as wine is said to be the poet’s Pegasus and beer the scholar’s mule. If truth is to be found at the bottom of the wineglass, gossip, dashed with a single suspicion of calumny, is always present in good coffee grounds; and a well-known society lady in Germany is credited with the statement that this refreshing beverage not only keeps those who indulge in it wakeful and gay, but it is likewise endowed with the mysterious virtue of bringing to light all the vices of a not too gopulous city. And it is well understood that therein lies the attraction it has for the critical sisterhood of mature German ladies known as ‘“coffee sisters,” or, as we should say, gossips.— London Telegraph. —————— One of Her Kind. The people on the hotel piazza saw a suspieious volume of smoke issuing from the window of a cottage agross the road. They speculated on the chance of it being fire. Then a little spout of flame appeared and they rushed toward the cottage. “Let’s tell them gently or we may scare them to death,’” said some one; so, instead of advancing with Comanche-like yells, they merely leaped over the garden fence, scorning t[‘;e gate; ran over flower beds, ignoring the paths, and piled pell-mell upon the piazza. The leader of the ex- pedition gave the doorbell a ring that woke the echoes, and in a second a virago- like woman opened the door and fiercely glared at the intruders. *‘What are you making such a noise nbogt?" she demanded, angri!dy. “Beg pardon, madam,” said the leader of the expedition, ‘‘but your house is on fire and we tnought you would like to know it.” “House on fire!” snapped the woman. ‘Well, you needn’t have made so much noise anyway. Why, I had just put the baby to sleep, and I'll wager you've waked him.”—New York World. Points For Smoks= ers I. DON'T smoke on an empty stomach. 2.

Breathing Balm and Healing Oils Applied Direct Into the Diseased Air Tubes. Patlents Are Now Being Cured of Catarrh and Chronlc Bronchitls, and Permanently Cured, by Dr. A.J. Shores. Dociors have been complaining for a thousand years that they couldn’t cure bronchitis.” But this has been because they didn’tknow how cr hadn’t the means for applying curatives locally. Bronchitisisa local malady, directly accessible to curative inhalations, and the only effective treat- ment i3 by an inbreathing of vaporized remedies of transcendent healing virtue, until the sore and inflamed bronchial tubes are moistened by itor soaked in it, or effectually impregnated with it, for the period necessary to permanently allay its inflammations and to permanently abate its pains. The usual method is not to send healing vapors down the windpipe to the burning bronchia, but to send.arsenic and opium solutions, etc., into the stomach, thence to be carried up and down the whole live body and be diffused throughout the whole wide system. This zigzag doctoring isn’t the right way to treat bronchitis, which is too firm and formidable and strongly rooted a malad to be loosened or shaken by any such fool- |ishness. It must be got at locally, im- mersed in oily vapors, There can be no adequate and effectual medication of diseased bronchial tubes ex- cepting by the method! practiced by DR. SHORES. The healing vapors which he administers by inhalation are as a balm and ointment poured from a cup directly upon the fevered bronchia. Their strong remedial virtues are not wasted or lost by being uselessly diffused throughout the entire anatomy, but reach the place of disease in their abundance and entirety— in their full curative potency—like a be- nignant salve upon an ugly wound. DR. SHORES’ easy and complete mastery of bronchial catarrh is exciting national in- terest and drawing great numbers of suf- ferers to Dr. Shores’ parlors. It is simply because the method he employs is the only methoa by which the disease can be di- rectly medicated with the freedom full- ness, potency and abundance requisite to its radical and permanent mastery. MR. E. J. PRICE, 536 ELLIS STREET, SAN FRANCISCO. What the public demandsis ABSOLUTE PROOF of results, and these Dr. SHORES furnishes in all his announcements. Ever; patient who has publicly testitied in behalt of Dr. SHORES’ system of treatment has been visited personally by hundreds of people who wished to learn for themselves the truth of the matter, and all have come away perfectly satisfied that the statement made was true. J. Price of 536 Ellis street, San 0, has resided in this City for some years and is well known as an expert cement worker. Mr. Price says: “I have been a sufferer from catarrh for many years, and all the disagreeable symptoms presented by that dread disease were ap- barent in_my case. I have treated with r. SHORES but one month and have been so greatly benefited that I wish to publicly recommend his treatment to others.” Last week in the daily papers of Los Angeles T. Daniel Frawley, the widely known and popular theatrical manager, paid a glowing tribute to the efficacy of Dr. SHORES system of treatment. This is the season of the year when those afflicted with catarrh or broncnial affec- tions suffer most and need immediate at- tention. Don’t delay, but obtain relief be- foreitistoolate. Remember, Dr. SHORES’ charge is only $3 per month until cured; all medicines furnished free. Patients who for years have suffered from Catarrh, Stomach Trouble, Rheu- matism, Asthma, Bronchitis, Dyspep- sia, Kidney, Liver and Bladder Trouble, Skin Diseases, Nervousness, Deafness and various other obstinate and com- plicated troubles, are being speedily cured by Dr. A. J. Shores’ New Treat- ment. DON'T LOSE HOPE. Dr. A. J. SHORES. appreciates that many per- sons have become discouraged, many are skep- tical, and many others feel as though they can- ot spare the money to be treated. Dr. SHORES has overcome all_these objec- tlons. By placiug his terms at 83 month he made it possible for all to be cured. Why pay more? Come to Dr. SHORES' parlors . He will give consultation, examination and advice ree. By doing this you can be personally con- vinced of Dr. SHORES' honesty and ability to cure you.
