No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it tho duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syriq) cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Begular size, 73 cents.

Editor Asterian: In Berlin are many English-speaking people. At tho hotels and rail way stations there is always someone who can speak this language, and at tho hospitals there are so many Americans I have no chance to prac tice my German. I was sni prised one day on the streets, while trying to enquire for a certaiu street, in German, to have the "man answer me in good English, and one who thinks he is the only one understanding En glish here, frequently makes himself ridiculoup. I had a friend in Berlin who was a great admirer of Mark Twain, and often spoke of the blun der this writer speaks of having made in Paris, when, with a friend, he was criticising the different persons they met, and finally, praised a young lady's appearance who happened to be English, and who kindly thanked him, but asked him to not be quite so public iu his remarks. My friend tried to imitate v this blunder, and whenever he met a lady who was sure to hear him, ho would at once and in a loud voice, speak in glowing terms of her beauty. He had no success, however, until one day in perfect in nocence, he exclaimed: 4,By Jove, Doctor, just look at those monstrous feet!" Of course I looked, but just in time to see a lady give my friend the most withering glance that "a woman was capable of, and which he will never forget, I am sure. Then, elevating her nose to the angle of about ninety degrees," she sailed down the street. My friend does not try to imitate Mark Twain any more. An other friend walked into a beer hall and said: "Look at that girl; she is as homely as mud;" whereupon she said: "I ain't either, yon mean, hateful, old thing." In nothing has my disappointment been greater than the famous Gret chen of the poets, artists and romance writers. I was about as anxious TO SEE A BEAI., IiIVE GRETOHEN When coming to this country, as I had been to seethe castles and cathe drals. Since seeing many of them I have lost faith in the judgment of poets and writers; for of all the Gref cheus I have seen, not one was pretty. They all wear short dresses; are fat, short in stature, have big feet, wear red stockmgs, and are be tween forty and fifty years old; and if there are any handsome ones in Ger many, I failed to find them.. Leaving Berlin, I came to Vienna, where I-am writing this letter. This city is the great resort for doctors, and no American doctor coming to Europe to study considers his educa tion complete without having spent part of his time here. Here is tho largest hospital, in the world, con taining about three thousand patients, three hundred nurses and about two hundred physicians on the medical staff. There aro Americans hero FROM EVERT STATE IN THE UNION. They furnish tho money which gives this place its reputation, and arc so numerous Pmeet them everywhere. This is an interesting city, consist ing of the old and new portions. In the old are the old imperial buildings and tho f amons "Grauben." The new part has the finest streets and most magnificent buildings I have yet seen. The city is full of cafes where the best of beer and coffee can be ob tained. They areas numerous as the saloons in Astoria, and are always fullof students and soldiers, thefirat spending the most of the first three years of college life here. Vienna is said to bo the fastest city in Europe, and judging from what I have seen, I think this must be true, tho lifo of the natives who can afford it being one round of parties, balls, suppers and other dissipations. It seems that the eastern vices are grafted on the western dissipation, producing a so ciety, tho morals of which will not bear close, or oven superficial inves tigation. Their concert halls aro very numerous and aro orowded every night, and an evening spent in such a place is to an American, a rare treat, for ho sees nothing like it at home. Theso buildings have large halls and galleries containing hundreds of ta bles where one may get a good meal, drink his beer or wine, smoke a cigar, see a good drama, listen to delicious music FROM A FIRST CLASS OPERA, and, if inclined, talk to tho handsom est women in the world Astoria excepted all at one and the same time, in this respect Vienna combin ing all tho pleasures of life until one is ahead of tho world. Tho opera" here is also said to bo the test in tho world, not even excepting Dresden. One evening spent in listening to Lohengrin in their magnificent opera house, .convinced me that this must be true also; for sweeter music, grander orchestra and chorus and better stage scenery one never listened to or saw with the exception of Patti and Nilson's sing ing and Irving's stage effects. Tho women of Vienna have thoTeputation of being the handsomest in existence. They certainly aro glorious looking creatures,-and many Americans, who have not been in Astoria, go wild when they first come here lose their appetites, neglect their studies and write poetry for two or three weeks, until they become accustomed to the surroundings. However, I have not heard of one taking a Vienese bride home with him. They are too loyal, I think, to home, and native land to do anything of this kind. By the way, the American women have a rep utation in every country in which I havo .been, of being handsome, the most intelligent, and the best dressed women of the world; and it is said you can REOOONIZE AN AiTERICAN LADY. In a crowd ot Europeans by her dress and independent air. My experience is too limited to give an opinion on this subject, but will say that I have yet to see the women, or men either, that are the equals of the Americans in any respeot, and am' sure none are their superiors. Ther ore thirty thousand soldiers in Vienna, and tho poorest looking lot I bavo seen any where. Their uniforms are cheap and slouchy look ing; they havo no style, and when they march or drill look and move about as if half asleep. Perhaps they would not appear so inferior to me if I had not been in Germany, whose soldiers are tho finest looking, with the neatest uniforms of any Euro pean soldiers I have 6een. When I see the immense number of eoldiers here I can not help thinking of our little army of twenty-five thousand, or of the standing army of the Sand wich Islands which consists of sixty men all told. And when I think of the immense amount of money re quired for the support of these large armies and of the sacrifice and suffer ing entailed upon the people, I long for the time to come when, we -may say to the soldiers of every na tion and clime: "Soldier sleep, thy warfare o'er," etc. Before closing this letter I must say- that the world is APPARENTLY GROWING SMALLER For one cannot now go far enoagh to get away from his own people. I have met" every day here and in Ger many in the hotels, on the cars or on the streets Americans who are almost known to me, for they know my friends in Astoria, Portland, or some where else in America. Consequently one must conduct himself properly or else when he returns homo his friends will already have heard of any scrnpes he may have been in while in this land. Think how exas perating when ono is out on a lark and imagines he is so far from home he will never bo found out, to have someone slap him on the shoulder and say: "Hello, Jones, is this you? How is my old friend Jenks in Asto ria? Any word you want to send homo? I will be in your town in a few weeks," This is humiliating, but just what ono must expect here. Consequently the traveler learns to conduct himself just as properly here as at home. Otherwise he had best not return home, for some ono would be sure to meet him there- who had known him in Europe. But probably he had as well go homo as anywhere, for NO MATTER WHERE HE GOES Ho will meet some ono who knew him in his travels, or at least knew some one else that did, who had been par ticular in telling of every scrape ho had been in, or improper act ho thought of doing, while away from home. Yesterday I met a gentleman from California, and a few days ago one from Portland. Consequently I am as de'eorous as a deacon on Sun day. I am beginning to long to see that little town which is built in the grandest state, situated at the mouth of the noblest river, and whoso in habitants aro the most sociable and best natured, political and otherwise, I have ever met. I long to see Asto ria, and when I pack my valise again it will be to buy a through ticket for the land I lovethe best. - . Traveler.
