Witb the HUarp bells ringing their tinkling

So many a year ago.
80, now, as I hear tbem Jingle,
The winter cornea back again.
Though summer stirs in the heavy trees,
And the wild rose scents the lane.
We gather our fur around us.
Our faces the keen air stlngx,
And noiselessly we fly o'er the scow-busbed
world.
Almost as if we had wings.
-touch Is the Joy of mere living,
Enough 1b th blood's quick tbrlll;
W are simply happy -I care not wby
We are happy beyond our will.
The trees are with icicles jeweled.
The walls are o'er-urted with snow;
The houses witb marble whiteness are roofed,
J u their windows the home-ilghts glow.
Tnrousrh the tense, clear sky above us
The keen stars flush and gleam.
And wrapped in their silent shroud of snow
The broad fields He and dream.
And Jingling witb low, sweet clashing,

And tossing his head, from his nostrils red.

While around your waist my arm

It Is only to keep us warm.
We talk, and then we are silent ;
And suddenly you know why

We kissed there was nobody nigh.
And no one was ever the wiser.
And no one was ever the worse;
The skits did not fall as perhaps they ought
And we hi ard no paternal curse.
I never told It did you, deal?

But my memory keeps in its utmost recess,
Like a perfume, -that innocent kiss.
I dare say you have forgotten,

Or you may not choose to remember it,
Time may have cbaLged you so.
The world so chills us and kills us.
Perhaps you may scorn to recall
That night, witb its Innocent impulse
Perhaps you'll deny it all.
But If of that fresh, sweet nature
The veriest vestige survive.

BURGLARIOUSLY ASH FELONIOUSLY.
We had just locked up the safe
and I had put the key in my pocket
I am the accountant of the North
and South of England Bank, and its
Padsey branch, V. JR. Yorks. I had
got my hat on and had taken up my
umbrella, when a man came running
into the bank with a bag of mouey
in his band.
"Am I in time?" he cried.
I shook my head.
"Deuce take it," I said; "but we
can't take the money."
"Well, then, what is to be done?
Here's 22,000 in this bag, and those
drafts of mine come duo in a couple
of days. Well, you II have to take
'em up," he said. "I can't, unless
voir take the money in to-night.
I knew that those drafts were com
ing due, and that our manager was a
little anxious about them, for they
were rather heavy, and the other
names on them wore not very good.
Black, too that was the man with
the money bag was a capital cus
tomer; and not only a good customer
himself, but he brought good acounts
with him, and we were a young
branch and on our mettle. .
Well, here was the money to meet
the drafts, anyhow, and should
have been a great fool to send it away
because it was after hours. So I
counted it all over; there was about
19,000 in checks and notes and
3000 in gold.
"Come and have a glass of beer
with me,'" said Black, on the way to
the station.
I put the bag ot money in my desk
and locked it up. I would come
back presently and have it put in the
sate. 1 walked to the station with
Black; we had some beer together,
and then he went off America wards,
and I on my way to JNemophillar
Villas, lou see 1 was rather in the
habit of calling for a'glass of beer as
I went home, and then going on, and
consequently, from the torce of habit,
I'd almost got home before I remem
bered the bag of money. It was
vexing, too, because we had a tea
party that night, the first since our
marriage, and it began at 5 o'clock,
and I'd promised to be home an hour
earlier to draw the corks and help
get things ready. And here it was 6
o'clock, and I had to go back to the
bank.
All the way back I went as hard
as I could pelt.
However, the money was all right
in my desk, and now I'd put it in the
safe. "Tell Mr. Cousins" our man
ager, you know I said to the ser
vant wbo had let me in, "tbat I want
the key of the safe." But you had
it in your pocket, you say, which
shows that you are not acquainted
with the rules and regulations of the
North and South ttf England Bank,
which say that the acountant or chief
cashier shall be responsible tor the
due custody of the cash while it isin
his possession in the daytime, and at
night all moneys and securities shall
be carefully secured within the office
safe, which shall be secured by two
keys, one of which shall be in the
custody of the manager, and the sec
ond in that of the accountant or cash
ier. But you say again, as long as
you had one key, what did you want
of two? There, I own, the regula
tions are obscure. They were drawn
up by somebody without any literary
skill; if they'd consulted me about
them, I could have suggested a good
many improvements. What they
meant to say was that the safe was
secured by two locks, and that a key
of each, not interchangable the one
with the other, was to be in the cus
tody, etc. Now you understand why
I wanted Mr. Cousin's key.
"Eh, my!" said, the servant, open
ing her mouth wide, "and what
might you want Mr. Cousin's key
for?"
Just as stupid as you, you see. I
was mad with the girl. 1 own I al
ways get out of temper with those
Yorkshire people. If you ask them
the simplest question, first they open
their mouth and gape at you. When
you've repeated the question twice
they shut their mouth and think a
bit. Then tho idea seems to reach
tho thing that does duty with 'em for
brains, and excites a sort ot reflex
action, for, by jingo! instead of an
swering your question they go and
ask you one. And that makes me so
mad! Oh, they're a very dense race,
those Yorkshire people.
"Why. to open the safe, you stu
pid," said I. "Where is he?"
"Don't you know?" says she.
"Know!" I cried in a rage; "what
should I ask you for if I did know?"
"Didn't you know he was at your
house?"
Ah, so he was. I'd nearly forgot
ten that he was one of the guests at
my wites party. Clearly, 1 couldn t
get the safe open, and I didn't like
to leave the money in my desk, so I
put it in my pocket and took it home,
thinking I'd give it to Cousins with
my key, to put it in the safe when
ho returned.
A nice mess I got into when I got
home, for you see it had been ar
ranged that 1 was to go up stairs and
dress before anybody came; and that
then tho room was to be made ready
for the ladies to take their bonnets
0fffor they were not all carriage
people. Well, you never saw such
a thing! When 1 got home and
crept up stairs to dress, the people
had all come so the servant said
there were six muffs, and four bon
nets, and five pork-pie hats, and a
half dozen shawls on the beds, and
one lady had left her every-day
curls hanging over the looking glass.
Upon my word, I didn't like to per
form my toilet among all these fem
inine gear; and there was no lock to
the door; and my dress clothes were
all smothered up among these muffs
and things. But I got through pret
ty well, and had just got one of my
lees into my trousers, when bang,
atrondoD-doD! such a rattle at the
knocker, and I heard my wife scut
tling away into the hail.
They were the Markbys our trump
card, who kept their own carriage
and everything grand.
"So kind of you, my dear," said
mv wife, kissine Mrs. Markby most
affectionately. I could hear the re
port where I stood.
"So delighted! Keally, how nice
ly, how beautifully you arrange ev
erything. I can't have things ar
ranged, with all ray servants, and "
"Run up Btairs, dear, do," said my
wife. "You know 'She room my
room, right hand, at the ton of tho
stairs."
I heard the flutter of female wings
on the stairs. What was I to do? If
I could have managed the other leg,
I wouldn t have minded, but
couldn't. I hadn't worn these dress
things for a good while, and I don'i
grow any thinner as I grow older
No, for the life of me I could not dis
nose of that other leg at such short
notice. What could I do? I could
only rush to tho door and set my
back against it. Did I tell you that
this was our housewarming party?
Did I tell you our landlord had al
tered the house tor us, making our
bedroom larger by adding a slip that
tbat had formed a separated room
I think not. And yet I ought to
have told rou all these eircumstan
ces to enable you to understand the
catastrophe that followed. In a word
the door opened outward. 1 d lor
gotten that peculiarity, never having
had a room so constituted before,
and never will again. The door
went open with a crash, and I bound
ed backward into Mrs. Markby 'a
arms. Smelling salts and sal vola
tile! was there ever such an unto
ward affair?
The music struck up for the dance
as 1 hopped back into my room.
hid my head among the bolsters and
muffs and almost cried, for I am such
a delicate-minded man. Yes, it hurt
me a great deal more than it did
Mrs. Markby, for, would you believe
ltf she told the whole story down
fie
'II
below, to the whule company, with
pantomimic action, and, when' I
showed myself at the door of the
drawing room, I was received with
shouts of inextinguishable laughter.
I think I called the Yorkshire oeo
lc dense just now, didn't I? Well,
add another epithet coarse
dense and coarse. 1 told em so,
and they laughed the more.
The guests were gone, the lights
weae out, slumber had just visited
my eyes, when right into my brain,
starting me up as if I had been shot,
came a noise. 1 wasn t really certain
ai nrst wnetner j. neard a noise or
was only dreaming. Was it only my
pulse thumping into my ears, or were
those regular beats the tramping of
somebody's muffled feet? Then 1
heard an unmistakable sound creak,
creak, creak a door opened slowly
and cautiously. All in a moment
the idea flashed into my head 22,
000. You see, all this dancing and
junketing, and laughing and chaffing
had completely driven out of my
mind all thought of the large sum I
bad in my possession. I had left it
in a great coat pocket, which was
hanging up in the hall down stairs.
Puff, a gust of wind came through
the house, rattling tho doors and
windows, and then I beard a door
slam, and a footstep outside of some
one cautiously, stealing away.
Away down stairs I went like a
madrAan, my one thought to put my
hand on tbat great coat, witb long
tails, and two pockets behind, and a
little cash pocket on the left-hand
side in front, and this breast pocket
in which I had put the bag of
money. This pocket wasn't as usual,
on the left-hand side, but on the
right. There was no other coat
hanging on those rails, only my
wife's waterproof. What a swoop I
made to get hold of that coat! Great
heavens, it was gone!
I had carefully bairedand chained
the front door before I went to bed
now it was unfastened. I ran cut
into the street, and looked up and
down, hopeless and bewildered. It
was a damp, dark night; the lamp at
the corner threw a long, silky ray
down the streaming pavement, hut
there wasn't a soul to be seen.
Everything was still and cold and
dark.
Tho money was clean gone yes,
it was gone. I repeated those words
mechanically to myself as I crawled
up stairs. All the results of this
loss pictured thoinselves before me
dismissal from tho bank, ruin of all
my prospects utter ruin, in fact.
What could I do? To what turn?
The blow that had fallen upon me
was so heavy and sudden that it had
benumbed my faculties. My chief
desire was to crawl into bed and fall
asleep, hoping never to wake. But
morning would come surely enougn
morning and its attendant miseries.
Then tho thought came to me:
Should I go to bed and say noth
ing at all about ltf .no one anew
of my having received that money;
not a soul but Black-, the man wno
had deposited it. I had given him
no receipt lor it, no acknowicag
ment. Black had gone to America
a hundred things might happen
he might never return; at all events
there was respite, immediate reuei.
I could go to the bank next morn
ing, hang up my bat as usual, ano
everything would go on as before
If Black returned, mv word was as
good as his. The notes and checks
would never be traced home, uui 1
don't think I retained this thought
long. Did you ever consider how
much resolution and force of will it
takes to initiate a course of crime
and deception? I had neither the
one nor the other. I should have
broken down at once. I couldn't
have tbat fellow's eye on me and tell
him 1 had never had his money.
I woke my wife; she had slept
through all the trouble. "Mary,'1 I
said, "we're ruined; there's been a
robbery."
"A robbery," she cried, clasping
her hands; "and are the men gone?"
"Yes," I said.
"Ob, thank heaven!" she said,
"then we're safe. Never mind the
rest, Jack, as long as our lives are
safe. But there's my waterproof,
Jack oh, do run and see if they
have taken that."
Then I told her the story of the
22,000. She wouldn't believe mo
at first, but when she heard the
whole story she was frightoned
enough. Yet she had wits about her
more than I had.
"You must run off to the town
hall, Jack," she said, "and set the
police to work. They must telegraph
to all the stations to London and
everywhere. Ob, do go at once,
Jack this very moment! Every
second lost may be ruin to us!"
Away I went to the town hall.
This was a large classic edifice, .vith
an immense portico and a huge flight
of steps; but you didn't "go into the
portico to get into the police office,
but to the side which wasn't classical
at all, but of the rudimentary style
of architecture, and you went along
a number ot echoing stone passages
belore you reached the Superin
tendent's office.
When I told the Superintendent
the story "Ah," he said, "I think I
know who did tbat job."
"Oh," said I, "how thankful I am!
Then you can put your hands on
him and get back the money. I
want tho money back, Mr. Super
intendent, never mind him. I
wouldn't mind, indeed, rewarding
him for his trouble if 1 could only
get the money back. ' -
"Sir," said the Superintendent,
severely, "the police ain't sent info
the world to get people's money
back nothing of the sort. We aren't
going to encourage composition of
felony; and for putting our hands on
Flashy Joe for he did the job, mark
you well, what do you think the
liberty of the subject is for? Where's
your evidence?"
I was obliged to confess I hadn't
any, whereat the Superintendent
looked at me contemptuously.
"Now, let's see into the matter,"
he said, after he'd made some notes
on a bit of paper. "Howxame they
to know you'd got the money in
your coat?"
I said I didn't know.
"Ah, but I know," said the Super
intendent, "you went to get a glass
of ale after you left the bank, young
man?" '
I was obliged to confess I had
done so.
"That's bow property gets stolen,"
said he, looking at me severely.
"And what's more, you had a glass
with a friend. Ah, I knew you had.
And perhaps you got talking to this
friend of yours?"
"Yes, indeed, I had."
"Very well; and you mentioned
about the money you'd just took?''
"Very likely."
"Then this Joe, depend up it, was
in the crib at the time and "he heard
you, and he followed you back to
tne bans; and you haven t got blinds,
but a wire netting over the window.
and anybody outside can see vou
counting out the gold and silver."
"That's true," I said.
"Yes, I see it all," said the Super
intendent; "just as Joe saw it. He
follows you up here to yonder, and
he sees you put 'our money in vour
coat pocket, and then be follows you
nome, ana wnen all 3 quiet be cracks
the crib. Oh, it's all in a nut-shell.
and that's how property goes. And
men you come to the police."
"But if 3'ou know it's Joe, why
don't you send after him and catch
him.'
Oh, we know our own business,
sir; you leave it an to us; we snau
bave Joe tight enough, 11 not for this
job, anyhow for the next. We 11
give bun a bit ot rope, like.
I couidu t put any tire into the
man, do what I could; he was civil,
that is, for a Yorkshircraau ; impas
sive, he'd do what was right. I'd
given the information very well; all
the rest was his business.
So I came home miserable, despair
ing. It was just daylight by this
time, and as I opened the shutters'
the debris of our feast was revealed;
the lees of the lobster salad, the
picked bones of the chickens, the
melted residuum of the jellies; while
about everything hung the faint
smile of sour wine. I sat down amid
all this wretchedness apd leaned my
head on my arms in dull, miserable
lethorgy. Then I sprang up, and as
I did so, I caught sight of myself in
the looking-glass. Good heavens!
Was this wretched, hang-dog looking
fellow myself? Did a few hours'
misery change a man like this? Why,
I was a very felon in appearance, and
so I should be thought to be. Who
would believe this story of a robbery?
Why the police didn't believe in it,
else they'd had taken a different
tono. No, I should be looked upon
as a thief by all the world.
Then my wife came down stairs,
and with a few touches restored a
little order and sanity, both to out
ward matters and to my mind. She
brought me some coffee and an egg
and some bread and butter, and after
I had eaten and drank I didn't feel
quite so bad.
"Jack," she said, "you must go 10
London at once and see the directors.
Have the first word and tell them all
about it all the particulars. It was
only a little bit ot carelessness alter
all, and perhaps they'll look over it."
"Yes, tbat s all ecy well, 1 saia.
"But how am 1 to get there? I've
got no money. This wretched party
has cleared us right out."
"Borrow some of Cousins."
"He asked me to lend him a sover
eign last night, and I couldn't."
Now, you'll say, " Here's a man
without resource. Why didn't he
pawn his watch ?" To tell the truth
that's what I did the week before,
and the money was all gone. 'Then
under the circumstances," you'll add,
"it was immoral to give a party.
But, you'll bear in mind, the invita
tions have been out tor a lortnight,
and we were then in funds.
"Well, Jack," said my wife, "you
must get the man the P. B. to give
you some more money on the wateh
Sell it to him right out. It must at
least be worth ten pounds, for it cost
thirty, and you ve only had hvc upon
it. Sell the ticket.
"Yes; but where was the ticket?"
Why, in the little cash pocket of my
brown great coat. Still, I had heard
that if you'd lost a ticket you could
make the man give you another, and
Brooks, the pawnbroker, was a re
spectablc fellow, who, perhaps, would
.help me out of my difficulty. I went
to him, anyhow, on my way to the
station. I felt like a ticket of leave
man as I went into his shop. But
put a good face upon it.
"Brooks," I said, "that watch you
know the ticket it s stolen.
Brooks gave a most portentious
wink. He was a slow speeched man,
with a red face and a tremendous cor
poration.
"Nay," he says, "my lad, thou'rt
wrong there."
"What do you mean?" I said, col
oring up furiously. Every one sus
pected me, it seemed.
"Whoa, it might ha' been stolen
once, but it aren't no; 'ave got it here.
This is how it were. A cadging sort
o chap comes in, and he says, 'Mas
ter, what'll you give me for this tick
et?' Now, you know the hact don't
allow us to give nought in that kind
of way, but 1 say to the chap, let's
have a look at it; and then 1 saw it
was yours, and I said to the man :
'My lad, you aren't come honest by
this."
"And you gave him into custody;
he's in prison? Old Brooks, what a
capital fellow you are! "
"Nay," he said ; " I knowed better
nor that. Do you think I'd hexpose
a customer? 1 know you gents don't
care abouttbese little matters getting
abroad ; and so I slaps my fist on the
counter, and I says, 'Hook it! ' just
like that. And away he went like a
Jamplighter."
I sank down on the counter, over
powered with emotion.
"And what's more," went on
Brooks, "he never took up the money
I'd lent bim for the coat."
"What coat?" he cried.
"A very nice brown coat he put up
with me. About fit J'ou, I should
think. See, here it is."
It was my identical brown great
coat, wrapped up in a bundle, and
tied round with my own handker
chief. I made a dart at it, opened it,
plunged my hand into the breast
pjeket there was the roll of money,
there were fhe 22,000.
How did I go to the bank that
morning on legs or wings? And
how did I get home, as soon as I had
put the money safe away? Mary
knew by my face tbat it was all
right; and didn't we have a dance of
joy all round the house!
My burglar had been only a sort
of sneuk after all, wbo bad got in at
an open window, and bolted with the
spoils of the hall; but if be had taken
the pains to look into the pockets of
the coat, he'd have been a rich
though miserable and insecure man,
and I should havo been utterly and
deservedly ruined.
Gen. Crook was nearly frozen to death
last week, having lost his way while
hunting in the Platte Valley.
Wouticrful Surgery.
The San Antonio correspondent of the
Galveston News tells the following story
of a wonderful surgical operation recently
performed in the former city. Dr. F.
Herff has long been a resident of San
Antonio, and is justly considered one of
the best physicians and surgeons in Texas.
San Antonio contains a wonder, the
like of which cannot be found in the
United States. It is nothing more nor
less than a child, seven years old, that,
instead of masticating and swallowing its
food in the usual manner, is fed through
an aperture in the stomach made for that
purpose, Ihe child is gaining strength,
can walk and play, and bids fair to soon
be as stout and healthy as any other
child. On Saturday last "I determined to
go and see the child for myself. The facts
are as follows:
About two years ago Mr. S. T. Lumley,
at that time living in Pennsylvania, had
the misfortune to have his little daughter
Jessie drin a solution of lye, which a
negro woman had carelessly left on the
table. A large quantity of the corrosive
liquid was swallowed. Death is the cer
tain result in such cases. There have
been quite a number of cases in San An
tonio, where children drank concentrated
lye, and none hav.e survived except in
this instance. The lye destroyed the
mucous membrane, and a stricture of the
esophagus is formed, which means that
the throat, or, at least, the channel
through which the food goes into the
stomach, is drawn together or contracted
to such a degree that only liquids, and
not much of them can pass through. If
the child does not die at once, it lingers
tor a year or so, and then goes into a con
sumptive condition and perishes of low
starvation. It is impossible for a human
being to live exclusively on liquid nour
ishment; but where concentrated lye has
been taken there are times, particularly
in cold damp weather, when the sufferer
cannot even swallow milk. All attempts
to open the closed up esophagus are fu
tile, hence the sufferer slowly starves to
death.
Such was the condition of the little
girl, Jessie Lumley, when she was brought
to San Antonio for treatment. The child
was very much emaciated, and could not
swallow even liquid lood for days at a
time. As it was the only possible chance
she had for lite, her parents consented
tbat the operation of making an opening
in the stomach should be attempted. The
operation has been performed in Eng
land, but this is believed to be the first
time it has ever been attempted in the
United States. Y'our correspondent can
not give tne technical terms, but can
mak the modus operandi intelligible to the
general reader. An incision four inches
long was made a few inches to the left of
the pit of the stomach, at the beginning
of the short ribs, much stitching being
required. Through this incision the
stomach is reached. The next part of the
operation requires the most delicate
handling imaginable. It consists in sew
ing the stomach to the walls of the abdo
men, but the greatest care has to be taken
not to penetrate the stomach itself. The
needle and stitches only penetrate the
skin of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach, as the wound gradually
heals, grows to the walls of the abdomen.
The patient was put under the influ
ence of chloroform, and the operation
successfully performed by Dr. F. Herfl,
assisted by his son, Dr. John Herff, and
Dr. Amos Graves, all of this city. Unfor
tunately the child had an attack of the
chills and fever, which had to be cured
which gave it a set back. The operation
described took place three weeks ago
The stomach had grown on to the sides
of the abdomen, and eight days ago the
final operation ot making a small incision
into the stomach, through which the food
was to pass, was performed, and twice a
day during the past week a beefsteak, cut
up fine, has been passed with the forceps
into the stomach, and the child is steadily
gaining strength.
On Saturday last I visited the child, in
company with Dr. Herfl, and saw it fed.
We halted in front of a one story house,
which we entered. A little girl with light
hair and blue eyes, was sitting up in bed,
surrounded by playthings. Her mother,
a young woman of about thirty years of
age, was busy in the room.
'Don't you want your supper, Jessie !
said the doctor,
"1 want steak. I don't want any bread,
'cos it hurts," said the little girl, whose
thin features and pale complexion showed
the result of her long fast.
The mother Drought in a rare beef
steak, which the doctor proceeded to cut
up in small pieces, crumbling up some
bread at the same time. The food being
prepared, the child lay back on the bed
and the opening in the side was exposed.
It was only an inch in length, and pre
sented the appearance of a badly healed
cut. It was a little inflamed. I stood by
and saw the doctor take one piece after
another and carefully introduce It with
the forceps into the stomach, until the
plate was nearly empty. The child com
plained a little at times, but did not ap
pear to suffer any. She finally said, "My
stomach is full," and as there was no more
steak, the doctor desisted. Finally some
cotton was placed in the opening, a band
age put on, and she sat up and was soon
fondling her playthings.
The following additional facts may be
of interest to the medical fraternity and
others interested. No particle of solid
food has passed through the child's throat
since the accident. A grain of rice nearly
strangles her. Milk is also injected into
the stomach through the opening. The
only possible danger is from the wound
closing up, hence it is kept open with
cotton. At first a plug of expansive cot

the child should not become stout and
healthy. The food digests readily, just
the same as if chewed and swallowed.
To the inquiry if this mode of taking
nourishment would have to be kept up
through life, no definite answer was
given, as it depends on the possibility of
reducing the stricture of the throat. Dr.
Herff proposes to have, as soon as the
opening heals up completely, an instru
ment introduced into the stomach.

Hang ox Like a Beaver. When our
Tom was six years old, he-went into the
forest one afternoon to meet the hired
man, who was coming home with a load
of wood. The man placed Master
Tommy on the top of the load and drove
homeward. Just before reaching the
farm, the team went pretty briskly down
a steep hill. When Tommy entered the
house his mother said: "Tommy, my
dear, were you not frightened when the
horses went trotting so swiftly down
Crow hill?" "Yes, mother, a little,"
replied Tom, honestly; "I asked the
Lord to help me, and hung on like a
beaver." "Sensible Tom! Let Bis
words teach the life lesson; in all
troubles, pray and hang on like a beaver;
by which I mean that while you ask God
to help you, you must help yourself
with all j'our might. Young Pilgrim.

RUPTURE

W. J. Home, Proprietor California Elastic
Truss Co., 720 Market street, San Francisco Dear
Sir: The Truss I purchased of you one year ago
ha j proved a miracle to me. I have been ruptur
ed forty years, and wore dozens of different kinds
of Trusses, all of which ruined my health, as
they were very injurious to my back and spine.
Your valuable Truss is as easy as an old shoe and
is worth hundreds of dollars to me, as it affords
me so much pleasure. I can and do advise all,
both ladies and gentlemen, afflicted, to buy and
wear your modern improved Elastic Truss imme
diately. I never expect to be cured, but am sat
isfied and happy with the comfort it gives me to
wear it. It was the best $1 0 I ever invested in
my life. You can refer any oue tome, and I will
be happy to answer any letters on its merits,
remain, yours, respectfully.

it is the b st Truss ever offered to the public.

BV J. Home, Esq. Dear Sir . You ask my
opinion of the relative merits of your Patent
Elastic Truss, as compared with other kinds that
have been tested under my observation, and in
reply I frankly state, that from the time my at
tention was first called to their simple, though
highly mechanical and philosophical construction,
together with easy adjustibiiity to persons of all
ages, forms and sizes. I add this further testi
monial with special pleasure, that the several
persons who have applied to mo for aid in their
cases of rupture, and whom I havo advised to try
yours, all acknowledge their entire satisfaction,
and consider themselves highly favored by the
possession of your improved Elastic Truss.

Truss, 720 Market street, 8an Francisco Dear
Sir: I am truly grateful to you for the wonder
ful CURE your valuable Truss has effected on my
little boy. The double Truss I purchased from
you has PERFECTLY CURED him of his pain
ful rupture on both sides in a little over six
months. The Steel Truss he had before I bought
yours caused him cruel torture, and it was a hap-
Sy day for us all when he laid it aside for the
ALIFORNIA ELASTIC TRUSS. I am sure
that all will be thankful who are providentially
led to give your Truss a trial. You may refer
any one to me on the subject. Yours truly,
