WHO 18 THY FRIEND.
Who is tby friend? Tlie man that shares thy
In Danqaetfcall or beauty's witching bow
He that wUl danee with thee to folly's meas-
And make no reckoning of the squandered
hours ...
To whom the revel and the game is all .
These are the friends that help men to their
fall.
Who is thy friend? The man that shares thy
pride, . ,
Thine hoar of glory, or thy day of gain;
Who stands in every triumph by thy side.
And never finds that triumph false or vain,
But shapes bis doctlne as thy humor goes?
These are the friends misfortune turns to toes.
Who is thy friend? The man that for bis win
To power or place bath need of thine or thee;
Who will not fear tby risk, or blame thy sig
ning. So it but speed his fortune's growing tree;
Whose praise is large, whose promise larger
yet
These are the friends that fall us and forget.
Who is thy friend? The man of truth and
trust, ....
In gladness near, in sorrow nearer still.
To thy faults generous, ti thy meri's Just,
Thy help to every good from every ill,
Whose love for the world's hate might make
amends? .
Alas for it! this life hath such few friends.
Who is thy friend? The best, the least re
garded, . .
In faith unfailing, and in love unchanged
Through all the changeful years, though 111
rewarded, .
Give Him thy heart, so long and far ss
stranged: . .
And from the broken reeds of eaith ascend,
To seek in heaven thy everlasting Friend.

AUNT MAGGIE'S STOBT.
Yes s what vour errandf ather came to tell
me. lassie, was, that Paul Cardell was
dead, tie was jusi eigiity-uve. -lac u
lost sight and hearing both, they say,
and was fiflad to aro. It's not so bad with
me: bnt I wouldn't mind (toing too. It's
stirred mv memory to hear of Paul's
death. I've loved a many in my life, but
never anyone as 1 did mm. Ah! xm
not ashamed of it, lassie, if I am an old
maid. He was iust lovely.
We met often and for a while I thought
he liked me pretty well. But soon I be
gan to think I was mistaken. It makes
a girl tremble to think that she may
show a man who does not love her that
she likes him over well. All that she
can do is to wait. Ahf lassie, many a
time the waiting is a weary thing, and
the right one doesn't come, and the wrong
one does, and even tne wrong one seems
better than none at all. I don't blame
Tomen for things that seem wrong often;
they haven't much chance to do right.
It seemed to me that Paul was my right
one; but he didn't court me, and I could
not court him. And James neeaer, pe
ing a man, could do as he chose, and did.
He loved me, and I loved Paul Cardell.
God help us all. I think if we women
had no hearts, the world would be a mer
rier place, lassie.
I put James Reeder off a while, and
just kept my eye on Paul. I did
not love him, and I did love Paul.
"Why couldn't I love the man that loved
me?
Then said I to myself, "Be a sensible
woman. It's better to marry a man who
is fond of you, if he doesn't seem perfec
tion, than to waste your youth and your
strength and your hope pining for one
you are nothing to." It's prettier in a
poem to do the last, but I wasn't so very
young or so very beautiful that the whole
world wanted me. I guessed what life
would be when I was a lonely old maid,
handed about like a bad penny from
Cousin Jack's to Uncle Ben's, and from
Sister Hannah's to Sister Jane's. Not
much wanted anywhere. Better try to
make the man who loved me happy, and
so learn to love him. They say "love
comes with the children" some who
have tried it.
I thought it all over before I went to
bed one night, and I made up my mind
that James Keeder should have a "yes
when he asked for it. Then I cried oh,
how I cried, lassie. "Oh, must I give
you up, Paul?" said I; "and oh, must I
give you up ?" and I knew I'd never had
him to give up or to keep.
The girls envied ma my handsome,
dashing beau. But often, walking with
him, or riding with him, I'd pass Paul
Cardell in his shabby coat, and say to
myself, "Oh, to be a man just to be a
man, and go a courting whom I choose,
instead of taking what comes, as though
matrimony were like the 'grab bag' at a
church fair. x didn t want money, nor
such beauty as James Beeder had so
much of. I wanted well lassie, I wanted
Paul, and no one else; though why he
was perfection to me, heaven knows. I
do not, and never will.
What seemed a great deal to me isn't
much to tell. There were picnic parties
where I met Paul, but where he let
James carry me off when he pleased, and
never tried to step between us.
At last Kitty Walsingham married, and
they gave her a great wedding party.
They were rich, and did it in fine style.
They had a fine house and fine furni
ture, and silver and china, such as no
one else had thereabout. And it was an
all-day party. The wedding first, then
breakfast and dinner, and a dance and
supper, of course. I was a bridesmaid,
and Paul stood up with me. After that,
you know, it was his place to be my beau
all day. I thought of that and nothing
else, lassie. It gave him one chance
more. A word from him and I'd give
James Beeder the mitten. A word a
look even.
When I walked into church on his
arm I kept thinking how it would seem
to be tha bride. I looked prettier than
she I know I did. I was dark, and
white became me. I had rosdr in my
hair and pearls in my ears. I did look
pretty, lassie. You're not so pretty,
vain as you are. It's all gone at eighty
all gone all gone ! What do we live to
be eighty for? Lord forgive me and
Paul.
Do you love any man, lassie ? Just
think, then, how that man looks to you.
You can't see his faults, or they grow to
be beauties. Don't they say Love is
blind ? I think he has sharper eyes than
any one else, and finds out charms no
other can. Oh, my beautiful Paul. And
brother Dick told me last night how very
plain he was; and there I sat with my
blood boiling yes, boiling, lassie. My
beautiful Paul plain ! my exquisite,
graceful, sweet-faced Paul plain ! And I
rocked and fidgeted. And says Dick,
" You are nervous to-night, Maggie. I
hope you ain't a getting the rheuma
tism ? And I was not old enough to
tell him I was angry, and why?
You didn't look away to laugh, lassie ?
Nay, was it to cry ? No need of that,
either. Cry for the young that have it
all to live through. I am eighty.
Sometimes he looked at me that morn
ing as if he liked me. He told me how
my dress became me. Any man may do
that, but it made me happy. I had not
been so happy for months.
After we came home from chussh
there was the breakfast and he beside
me all the while and then we all went
into the garden. We sat under a great
tree apart from the rest, and all of a sud
den he looked me straight in the eyes.
"Miss Maggie," he said, "do you
think ? But before I knew what
he wanted to know if I thought, some
one came all in a hurry up the path and
stopped beside me. It was James
Reeder.
" Here you are," said he. " Paul Car
dell, Mrs. Walsingham wants you to
drive Grandma Thompson over home.
She isn't over well, and wants to go. IH
take care of Miss Maggie meanwhile."
Paul got up. He gave me a look I
couldn't understand, and after he had
gone a dozen steps he came back and of
fered me his hand. "Good-bye, Miss
Maggie," he said, and I heard his breath
come short and fast; " Good-bye," and
away he went. And I and James Reeder
were left alone.
It happened exactly as I knew it would.
He asked me to be his wife before we
had been together half an hour, and I
said "Yes."
Oh, now don't, lassie. It's all against
the women in this worW. It always will
te. Let the strong-minded bodies do
what they may. Yon can't alter the
hearts we are born with. We are bought
and sold a good deal as Turkish girls
are, after all. There is a kind of cold,
pretty doll that is happy enough, but
women who have hearts suffer suffer at
eighteen and eighty. Don't I know ? I've
been both.
And now I said to myself: " I will
be content. I've made my own choice."
I knew I hadn't all the while. "Iam
to marry the richest man I know, and
one they all call handsome. Madly in
love with me, too. What more do I
want?"
It wouldn't do. I hid the fox in my
bosom, but it gnawed me all the while.
"The sooner it is over the better," I
said ; and as if that was the way to have
it over, I let James' coax me to set the
day very soon six weeks from that of
our engagement.
There was a busy time at our house,
you may guess. All my things to make
in a hurry. I couldn't sit down to sew.
I was like one wild. In a sort of fever
all the time. They teased me. "In
love," they said. So I was, lassie, but
not with James Reeder.
So one day mother said to me: " You
are the only idle one, Maggie. Run over
to Mrs. Walsingham's and borrow the
pattern of Kitty's travelling basque. It
will just fit you, and I want yours to be
like it."
I went, of course, and I got -the pat
tern of Mrs. Walsingham. She was a
merry soul, and she would tease me. No
one knew why I blushed so. It wasn't
for the reason they thought. We stood
talking, and she a teasing, until all of a
sudden she said: "And James isn't jeal
ous any more, I hope? "
" Jealous! " said I.
" Oh, he was wild the day our Kitty
was married," said she, " wild with jeal
ousy of Paul Cardell. He told me all
about it. 'They are paired off together,'
said he, 'and with a girl it is the first
who asks her. Paul is as much in love
as I, and you have lost her to me.' So
Grannie and I set our wits to work to
help him. And we sent for Paul, as you
know, and gave Jem uis chance. Now
say, ' Thank you,' Maggie, as he did."
But I couldn't. I took the pattern
and ran away. I ran until I came to the
bridge, and then I stopped, looking
down into the water. " No, no," I kept
saying to myself, " no, no; he never
cared anything about me. I gave him
chance enough to speak, and he did not ."
And while I said it I heard a step upon
the bridge. I looked around and it was
Paul Cardell. "I couldn't move. I stood
still, and he came up to me. I had not
seen him before since Kitty's wedding
party, when he came back to say " good
bye." He held out his hand. "How do you
do, Miss Maggie ?" said he.
I didn't speak I only bowed.
"You are to be married very soon, I
hear," he said.
"They say so," I answered.
"I hope you may be very happy," he
said. "James Reeder is a splendid fel
low, and as rich as he is handsome."
And he caught his breath in a little sigh.
"God bless you, Maggie."
He had never called me Maggie be
fore, and he had never looked as he did
then.
I tried to thank him, but I didn't know
what I said. Suddenly he took both my
hands.
"I'd like you to know it," he said
"somehow I d like you to know it. I
was very fond of you, Maggie. I I
loved you, my dear. If James hadn't
called me when he did that day, I should
have told you so, and had my 'No' from
you. I always felt afraid you liked
James best. No wonder. It's better for
you altogether better. Only, quite as
a past thing, I'm glad you know how I
loved you. Better than my life, Maggie.
I'm not going to pine to death, or make
an idiot of myself. I shall marry. Lucy
Swallow has promised to be my wife.
She would not care for such love as I
have not now to give; and very good,
and pretty, and we shall be happy. God
bless you, and good-bye."
He took my hand and put it to his lips
and went.
Only for what he had said of Lucy
Swallow, I'd have called him back. But
if they were to be married, better let
matters stand as they were. I held my
self up by the bridge rail until he was
out of sight; then I dropped, like one
dead.
I did not marry on the day set for me,
for I was ill of a fever then and not ex
pected to live ; and afterward I knew my
heart too well. I could not forgive
James for cutting short the words that
would have made Paul and me happy
for life, and I told him plainly that I
never could love him.
But Paul and Lucy Swallow married,
and she lived thirty years with him
thirty long years! What a happy woman
to live thirty years with Paul!
I never married never, as you know.
And James Reeder never did, either.
When he was sixty he told brother Dick
there never had been but one woman in
the world for him, and that was Maggie.
Poor Jem! He cried when I told him he
must go. And he was very handsome, so
they said a very fine man, but I can't
remember much about his looks.
And, you see, I never forgot Paul. I
could draw his picture now. I know the
touch of his hand, and the perfume of
his breath, and the tone of his voice by
heart. He was very happy with Lucy
Swallow, they say. I haven't been. But
it was better than marrying any one else
after all. A wasted life tod a wasted
heart, but nothing worse. Good night,
lassie.
Several notable happy marriages have
been made on two hours' courtship, but
it is a pretty safe rule to know the girl for
three days and a picnic.
The Making of Bells.
Only two metals are now used in large
bells, tin and copper. The Belgians use
23 to 30 per cent, of tin ; the English lean
to more tin, 26 to 31 per cent. Tin make6
the bell sound bright, but it also makes it
brittle, and the reason why the English
can afford to put in more of this brittle
element is because they make their bells
thicker, as a rule ; and the reason wny
they are made thicker is, that instead of
beins merelv chimed, thev are swung
around on a wheel, which brings the
hammer with great force upon the bell.
If we treated the delicate Belgian bells
in this rough fashion we should probably
crack them, though, if it were known that
they would be swung, the Belgian matters
would doubtless thicken them to order ;
tbey are not meant in Belgium to be
whacked like big drums, but to be struck
with hammers from ppto n, like a piano
forte. They resonate more easily than
English bells, requiring a gentler stroke
to elicit their full tone. In a word, the
Belgian bell is a musical note, not a gong
or a drum. Secondly, the thickness and
general proportions of the bell are of the
utmost importance, neiis vary irom i-io
to 1-12 of the diameter at the thickest
Dart of the sound bow. and the height ts
commonly about twelve times the thick
ness. English bells are, roughly, as broad
as they are long, if you measure diameter
from outside rim to rim, and lengtn irom
rim to top of canon. But in truth, the
thickness of the bell at different levels is
all important. The thickness near the
top is as important as mat oi ine sounu
bow, and the diameter of the crown as
critical a dimension as that of the rim.
The deep, rich tone (in proportion to
size) of the smaller Belgian bells is prob
ably due to the wide top diameter, com
bined with the thickness in certain por
tions of the sides half way down. f he
way in which altering the thickness affects
the tone, and even the pitch of a bell, is
shown by the fact that a sharp bell can be
flattened by shaving off the metal inside
above the sound bow ; and Mr. Lewis tells
me that he has destroyed beates by scoop
ing the bell elsewhere until they disap
peared at a certain point, but that on
continuing to scoop they reappeared. All
this shows how purely tenative and ex
perimental is at present the art of bell
founding in England. In Belgium it is
not scientific, but empiricalt and accumu
lated experience of ages. A certain tact
or rule of thumb, takes the place oi
science ; rules there must be, founded on
principals, but the masters cannot explain
their secrets. They produce the work of
art, others are left to discover the laws
they have obeyed. When we have an
alyzed their methods, we may be able to
make their bells. So thought the Ger
mans when they measured and analyzed
Raphael and Tintored, and pioduced the
correct but lifeless banahtes of Ary
Scheffer ; so thought Vuillame when he
imitated the very wormholes in the
Amatis, but for all that the French fiddles
are not Amatis. It may turn out that in
the makingof rich musical bells like those
of Van Aerschodt, there is something
which cannot be taught the instinct, the
incommunicable touch.
How Kentucky Bourbon Is Made.
The process is exceedingly interesting,
and as but few of the millions who con
sume this great product of Kentucky un
derstand how it is made, we give a de
scription in full. The "Bergrass distillery"
manufactures exclusively three brands of
whisky fire copper, Beat-grass bourbon
and rye and Kentucky Pride sour mash.
The reason why Kentucky wbiskys sur
pass those of any other State or country
are, fiirft, the superiority of the grain;
n ,-r rt 1 1 thn mi wi ftr on A nncilitv rtt" f'np
OWUUj ISU S U S A VJ HUM USjSMBJU V"
lime-stone water, and last, but not least,
the mode of distillation, which latter is so
appropriate to the State. In this State
everything is slow but sure. Bourbon
whisky generally contains 70 per cent,
corn, 15 per cent, rye, 15 per cent, malt,
wbile rye whisky contains 85 per cent, of
rye, and lo per cent, ot barley malt. Alter
the ingredients are made into "mash,"
which is produced in a large tub, with a
revolver rake to stir them, it is then run
off into a fermenting apartment, near
which is a yeast room, so arranged that it
is easily transported to the fermenting
tubs, each of which has a capacity for
holding thousands of gallons of mash
which, when fully fermented, is called
beer. For sour-mash whisky the fermen
tation is effected, the beer is run into
what is called a beer-weil, and from there
pumped up to the beer-still. The vapor
now condenses in the large copper worm,
which is so constructed that while the
cold water (almost ice cold) is supplied
constantly 'from the well, which is run by
pipes to the bottom of the worm, it runs
off at the top of a constant stream of hot
water ; thus condensation takes place, and
thus producing the first low wines and
the first distillation. The next process
develops the genuine article. The low
wines are pumped into a large receiver,
and from it the fire copper still is charged
or filled, and then doubled by direct fire
under the still, by which means pure
whisky is obtained and the distillation
completed. It is then pumped to a re
ceiving room, where it is filled into bar
rels, and from there it is placed in the
"bonded warehouse" and stored. It takes
five or six days from the time the grain is
ground before the whisky is produced and
barrelled.
The Wonderful Sandblast.
Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the common
saxdblast. Suppose you desire to letter
a piece of marble for a grave stone; you
cover the stone with a sheet of wax no
thicker than a wafer, then cut in the wax
the name, date, etc., leaving the marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast,
and the wax will not be injured at all,
but the sand will cut letters deep into
the stone.
Or, if you desire raised letters, "a
flower or other emblem, cut the letters,
flowers, etc., in wax and stick them upon
the stone; then pass the stone under the
blast and the sand will cut it away, lie
move the wax and you have the raised
letters.
Take a piece of French plate glass,
say two feet by six, and cover it with fine
lace; pass it under the blast, and not a
thread of the lace will be injured, but
the sand will cut deep in the glass
wherever it is not covered by the lace
Now remove the lace, and you have
every delicate and beautiful figure raised
upon the glass.
In this way beautiful figures of all
binds are cut in glass, and at a small ex
pense. The workmen can hold their
hands under the blast without harm,
even when it is rapidly cutting away the
hardest glass, iron or stone, but they
must look out for finger nails, for they
will be whittled off right hastily.
If thev put on steel thimbles to pro
tect the nails, it will do little good, for
the sand wUl soon whittle them away;
but if they wrap a piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You will at
once see the philosophy of it. The sand
whittles away and destroys any hard sub
stance, even glass, bnt does not affect
substances that are soft and yielding lute
wax, cotton or fine lace, or even the hu
man hand.
A Prince In the Kitchen.
They are telling a good story in court
circles of Prince Peter of Oldenburg,
chief of the Russian college for girls.
At the Smoling convent, which is under
his jurisdiction, eight hundred girls are
educated, and he had received anony
mously and otherwise several complaints
about the food, which was pronounced
execrable. "I will see to this myself,"
said the prince, and one day, a few min
utes before the dinner hour, he present
ed himself at the end of the passage lead
ing from the kitchen to the dining sa
loon. Here he met two soldiers carry
ing a caldron, steaming hot. "Halt!"
The men obeyed. "Put down that ket
tle." The kettle was at once deposited
on the deposited on the floor. "Fetch a
spoon." Here Russian discipline wa
vered. One of the men had the audacity
to begin a protest. "S'death!" exclaimed
the prince ; ' 'hold . your tongue fetch
me a spoon." "But, ' stamered the sol
dier. "Another word and I place you
under arrest." The spoon was brought.
The prince dipped it into the caldron,
and swallowed a quantity of the liquid.
"I thought so," he said. "Do you call
this soup? Why, it is dirty water."
"It is, your highness," answered the sol
dier who had been threatened with ar
rest, "we have been cleaning out the
laundry."

Use Good Language.
We advise all young people to acquire
in early life the habit of using good lan
guage, both in speaking and writing, and
also to abandon the use of slang words
and phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of good lan
guage win be ; and n tne goiuen age oi
youth, the proper time tor the acquisition
of language, be passed in abuse, the un
fortunate victim of neglected education is
very probably doomed to talk slang for
life. Money is not necessary to procure
this education. Every person has it in
his power. He has to use the language
which he reads instead of the slang which
he hears; to form taste from the best
speakers and poets of the country ; to
treasure up choice phrases in his memory,
and habituate himself to their use, avoid
ing at the same time that pedantic preci
sion and bombast which show rather the
weakness of wasted ambition than the
polish of an educated mind.
What Causes Thtjndeb. A corre
spondent of Nature writes : "I have lately
seen it stated in a text-book upon elec
tricity and magnetism that the phenome
non of thunder is fully accounted for by
the theory as yet brought forward.
Whether this be so or not I am not suf
ficiently acquainted with the subject to
say. I believe the commonly accepted
theory is that a vacuum is created in the
path of the electric spark, and that the
subsequent inrush of air produces a de
tonation. If, however, it be allowed that
the electric spark is not a material sub
stance, but merely a natural force or mode
of motion, the possibility of this theory is
at once disposed of.
"It is a well known fact that the pas
sage of electrity in a high state ot tension
through a mixture of oxygen and hydro
gen not only causes an explosion, but
also causes the formation of water, and it
seems to me that, given the existence of
oxygen and hydrogen in the region of the
electric disturbance, the phenomenon of
thunder is sufficiently accounted for.
Whether the normal amount of hydro
gen in the air is sufficient to cause the
stupendous uoise of tb under I am com
petent to judge, but if not, I would sug
gest that the presence of an abnormal
amount might be accounted for by the
process of the electrolysis, which would
probably occur between the two poles of
the thunder cloud between the two poles
of the thunder cloud before the tension
became so great as to cause a rupture of
the circuit and consequent discharge of
the electric spark. I would also draw
your attention to the fact that every
thunder clap is immediately followed by
an increase in the quantity of water de
posited in the shape of rain. Does not
this point to the formation of water by
the explosion of the gasses. It is a fre
quent experiment of Dr. Tyndall's to
show his audience red clouds ; I feel con
vinced that by following this line of in
quiry he could give us a real thunder
storm.
Help one Another. This little sen
tence should be written on every heart
stamped on every memory. It should
be the golden rule practice, not only in
every household, but throughout the
the world. By helping one another we
not only remove the thorns from the
pathway and anxiety from the mind, but
we feel a sense of pleasure in our hearts,
knowing we are doing a duty to a fellow
creature. A helping hand or an en
couraging word is no less to us", yet is a
benefit to others. Who has not felt the
power of a little sentence ? Who has not
needed the encouragement and aid of a
kind friend ? How soothing when per
plexed with some task that is both diffi
cult and burdensome, to feel a gentle
hand on the shoulder, and to hear a kind
voice whispering, "Do not be discouraged ;
I see your troubles, let me help you."
What strength is inspired, hope created,
what sweet gratitude is felt ; and the great
difficulty dissolved as dew before the sun
shine. Yes, let us help one another, by en
deavoring to strengthen and encourage
the weak; and lifting the burden of care
from the weary and oppressed, that life
may glide smoothly on, and the fount of
bitterness yield sweet waters ; and He
whose willing hand is ever ready to aid
us, will reward our humble endeavors,
and every good deed will be ''bread upon
the water, to return after many days, if
not to us, at least to those we may love.
Fish Bkeeding. The Wisconsin State
Fish Commission this year have had
hatched at the Milwaukee and Madison
hatcheries, and distributed, $10,000,000
Lake Michigan whitefish. These have
been planted at various points in the lake.
Some 4,000,000 Mackinaw trout have been
planted this season in large inland lakes
and favorable spots in Lake Michigan.
Five hundred thousand Lake Mendota
whitefish have been distributed in the
larger lakes of Eastern Wisconsin. There
is a very large demand for these fish this
year. The Commission have 50,000 Macki
naw trout at Nine Springs for distribution
to private parties who desire them as
breeders. Mr. Welch is corresponding
with Seth Green with a view of obtaining
100,000 eels from Hudson river. These
will be replanted in the small inland
lakes. It is the intention of the Commis
sion to take large quantities of black bass
early in June from the inland lakes,
where they are running in large shoals,
and transplant them to waters where
there are none. Mr. Welch says he is
constantly receiving letters from all por
tions of the State reporting that the young
fish planted by the Commissioners are
appearing in great numbers, especially
the Mackinaw trout and speckled trout of
the first distribution, while whitefish
have appeared by millions upon the
spawning-beds along the shores of Lake
Michigan that for a dozen years have been
barren.
Remarkable Incident.
A circumstance of somewhat remarka
ble character, says the Petersburg (Va.)
Index-Appeal of May 27th, is reported to
have occurred Sunday during the baptiz
ing at the basin. Among the 54 candi
dates who received the ordinance at the
hands of their pastor, Rev. Henry Wil
liams, Jr., was a colored man named Bur
well Lancaster, a deaf-mute since infancy.
When he was raised from the water, after
immersion, according to the testimony of
those who stood around him, he suddenly
recovered his voice, and, in clear and dis
tinct tones, cried out : "Thank God !
Thank God ! " To those who had never
heard him speak a word, and who had re
garded him as dumb, these words of
thanks came with startling effect, and
among many of the colored people, taken
in connection with the occasion, the cir
cumstance is regarded as akin to a mira
cle. The occurrence created a great deal
of comment. What is equally as remark

I feel that I owe it to you and

that I have been SUBSTAN

rupture, of thirty- years' standing, by one of
your incomparable Trusses, wnicn i purcnasea
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; and now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until 1 tried yours.

can be worn without causing any irritation, are
its chief merits, and it is a perfect supporter. I
have not had any sign of a return of a Rupture

PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
fact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on the subject of their merits.
I am yours truly,

California. Truss Cot
After practicing medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the application of all kinds of
Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as the
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressing ailments, such as Lum
bago, morbid affections of the kidney and
numbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not only a perfect retainer, comprising ease
and comfort, but the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper place
at all times, regardless of the motions of the
body. "nd is worn night and day with perfect
ease it is superior to any of the Elastic Trusses
now in the market, while it combines the merits
of all. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off with
snaps, doing away with straps and buckles. 2nd
The universal spring between the plate and
pads prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an instant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elasticity, natural action and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing them, and all shall in the future,
for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderful. You can refer any parties to
me on the subject of their merits.
I remain truly yours,
