DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN 6 AY SERMON. Sutiject; "Modern Spiritualism.' Tktt: "Behold, there is a woman that Jiath a familiar spirit at Ehi-dor. AndSavl disguised himself and put on other raiment, and he iceni, and two men teith him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said, I pray thee divine unto me by the : familiar spirit,'and"bring me him up whom I shall name unto thee." I Samuel xxviiL. 7, a ' I have recently become a Spiritualist. At least so some of the journals of that belief declare.. This, together with the fact that , mediums are now being tried in the criminal courts," setting millions of people to make - inquiry in regard to communication between this world and the next, leads me to preach this sermon: . - . .- Trouble to the right of him and trouble to the left of him, Saul knew not what to do. As a lasfe. resort, he concluded to seek out a spiritual medium, - or a witch, or anything that you please to call her at any rate, a woman-, who had communication with : the spirits of the eternal world. It was a very difficult thing to do, for Saul had either slain an the witches or compelled them to slop business A servant one day said to King Saul: "I know of a spiritual medium down at the village of En dor." 'Do you?" said the ' King. Night falls. Saul, putting off his kingly' robes, and putting on the dress of a plain citizen, with two servant ?, goes out to hunt up this spiritual medium. It was no easy thing for Saul to disguise himself, for: tho tallest reop'e in. the country only came up to , his shoulder; and I think from the strength of ; the man and the ' way he bore himself, he must have been well proportioned- It must have been a frightful thing to see a man . walking along in the night eight or nine feet high. . I suppose, as the peode saw , him pass, they said: "Who is that? He is as tall as the king'V having no idea that in - such a plain uress mere . realty was passing ine junj. Saul and his servants after awhile, reach the village, and they say: "I wonder if-this is the house r and they look in and see the haggard, Vweird and shriveled up spiritual medium sitting by the light, and on the tab!e sculptured "images, and divining rods, and poisonous herbs, and bottles, and vases. They say: "Yes, .this . must : he the place.".: One loud rap brings the woman to the door ; and as she stands there, holding the candle or lamp above her head and peering out into "Who is here?".; The tall ting informs her that he has come to have his fortune told. : When she hears that,' she trembles and r almost drops the Jightv for she knows there is no chance for a fortune teller or spiritual, medium in all the land. But Saul, having sworn that no harm shall come to her, she says: ""Well, who shall I bring up from the dead?" Saul says: "Bring uo Samuel." That was the prophet who had died a little while before. I sea her waving a wand, or stirring up some poisonous herbs in a caldron; or hear her muf ering over soma incantations, or stamping with her foot,, as she cries out to; the realm of the dead: "Samuel! Samuel!". "Lo, the freezing horror!- The floor of the tenement opens, and the gray hairs float up, and the forehead,4 the eyes, the lips, the shoulders, the arms, the feet, the entire body of dead Samuel, wrapped in sepulchral robe, , appearing to , i he astonished group, who stagger back and hold fast, and cat -h their breath, and shiver with terror. The dead prophet, white and awful from the tomb begins to move his ashen lips, and he glares upon King Saul, and cries out: "What did you bring me up for? Why did you break my long sleep? What : do you mean, King Saul?" Saul, trying to compose and control himFe'f, makes this stammering and affrighted utterance, as he Fays to the dead prophet: '"The Ijctrd is against me, and I have come to 'you for help. What shall I dof The dead prophet stretched forth his finger to King ,Saul and said: "D:e- to-morrow! Come with me into the sepulcher. . I am going now. . Come, come with me !" And lo! the floor again opens, and the feet of the dead prophet disappear; and the arms, and t.HA c'lnn Idpr-i rui tlm frrcYianA : Tlio rv-T closes. : Nothing is left in the room but Saul and the' two servants, and the spiritual me dium, and the sculptured images, - and the j T - ' J a ii i ah i a.i . uiviiiiug ruus, auu tae uuiuts, tuiu iub vases, and the poisonous herbs. Oh, that was an awful seance! - : .' . - . . ' I learn first from this subject that spir itualism is a very old religion. ; It is natural that people should want to tnow the origin . and the history 'of a doctrine which is so , ..widespread in all the villages, towns and cities of the civilized world, getting new converts every , day a doctrine with which many of you are already tinged. . - Spiritualism in America was born in 1847t in Hydesville, Wayne County, N. Y when one night there was a loud rap heard against the door of Michael Weekman ; a rap a sec ond time; a rap a third time ; and all three . times, when the door was opened, there was nothing found there, the knocking having been made seemingly by invisible knuckles. - In that same house there was a young woman who had a cold hand passed over her face, . and there being seemingly no arm attached to it, ghostly suspicions were excited. Afcer a while Mr. Fox and his family moved into that house, and then every night there, was a banging at the door; and one night Mr. Fox said: 4 "You are a spirit?? ;Two raps, an swering in the .affirmative. " "Are you an injured spirit Pv Two raps, answering in the affirmative. ; And so they found out, as thev say, that it "was the ghost or spirit of a ped ler who had been murdered in that housa many years before for his $o00. Whether "the ghost of the dead pedler had come - there to collect his $500, or his bones, I can not say, not being a Spiritualist; but there . was a great racket at the - door, so Mr. Weekman declared, and Mrs. .Weekman and Mr.! Fox ani Mrs. Fox; and all the little' Foxes. The excitement spread. There was a universal rumpus. The Hon." Judge Edmonds declared . in a book, that he- had actually seen a bell start from the top shelf of a closet, heard it ring over the people that were standing in the closet, then, swung by invisible hands, it rang "Over the people in the . back jjarlor, and . floated: through the - folding doors to the front -parlor, rung over the people, there and then dropped on the floor. N. P. Talmage, Senator of the United . States, t afterward Governor of Wisconsin, had,; his head completely turned - with . , spiritualistic demonstrations. - A ' ; man, as he was passing along the road, said that he 'was, lifted up bodily,, and carried toward his home through the air, at such great speed he could not count the posts on the fence as he passed; and as he had a hand saw and a square in his., hand, they beat, as he passed through the air, most delightful music. And the tables tipped, and the stools -tilted, and the bedsteads raisedr and the chairs upset, and it seemed as if the spirits everywhere had gone into the furniture business. "Well," the people said, i" we have got ; something new in this country: it is a new religion." Oh no. my friends. Thousands of years ago we find in our text a spiritualistic seance. ,. Nothing in the spiritualistic- circles of our day has been more strange, mysterious and wonderful than things which have been seen in the past centuries of the world. In all the ages there have been necromancers, those who consult with the spirits of toe departed ; charmers, those who put their subjects in a mesmeric state; sorcerers, those who by tak ing poisonous drugs see everything and hear everything arid tell everything; dreamers, people who in their sleeping moments can see . the future world and hold consultation with spirits; astrologers, who could read a new dispensation in the stars; experts in palmis try, who can tell by the lines in the palm of your. hand, your origin and your history. From a cave on Mount Parnassus, we are told, there was an exhalation that intoxicated the sheep and goats that came anywhere . near it, and . a ; shepherd 'approaching it -was thrown by that exhalation into an excitement in which he could foretell future events and hold consultation with the spiritual world. " Yes, before the time of Christ the Brahmin3 went through all. the table moving, all the furniture! excitement, which the spirits have exploited in ou1- day ; precisely the same thing over and over again, under the manipulations of the Brah mins. Now do you say that Spiritualism is different from these I answer, all those delusional have mentioned belong to the same family. They are exhumations from the unseen world. What does God think of all these delusions? ; He things so severely of them, that be never 6p?aks of them but with livid thunders of indignation. He says: "I will be a swift witness r against the scorcer." He' says: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." - And lest you might make some important distinction between Spiritualism and witchcraft God says, in so many words: "There shall not be among you a consulter of familiar spirits. or wizard, or necromancer ; for they that do these things axe an abomination to the Lord." And he says again: "The soul of those who seek aft?r such as have familiar spirits, and who go whoring after them, I will set myself against them, and he shall be cut off from among his people." The Lord Almighty, in a score of passages, which I have not "now time to quote, utters his indignation against all this great family of delusions. After that be a Spiritualist if you dare? Still further we learn from this text how it is that people come to fall into Spiritualism. Saul had enough trouble to kill ten men. He did not know where to go for relief. After awhile he resolved to go and see the witch of En-dor. He expected that somehow she would afford him relief . It was his trouble that drove him there. And I have to tel! you now that Spiritualism finds its victims in the troubled, the bankrupt the s'ck, the bereft - You lose your watch. an 1 you go to the fortune teller to find where it is. Yon lose a friend, you want the spiritual world opened so that' you may have communication with him;, In a highlv wrought, nervous and diseased state of mind, von go ani put yourself in; that ' communication. ; That is why I hate Spiritualism. It takes advan tage of- one in a moment of weakness, which may come upon us at any time. We lose a friend. The trial is keen, sharp.: suffocating, almost maddening. If we could marshal a host, and storm the eternal world, and recapture our 'oved one, the host would soon be marshaled. The house is so lonely. The world is so dark. The separation is so insufferable. . , - But Spiritualism says: We will open the future world, and your, loved one can come back and talk to you."; ; Though we may not hear his voice, we may hear the rap of his hand. So, clear the table.. Sit down. Put your hands on the table. - Be very quiet. Five m nntes gone. Ten minutes. No mo t'on.of the table. No response from the future world, r Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes.' Nervous excitement all the time increasing.: Fortv: minutes. The tible shiv er. Two raps from the future world. The lett?rs of the a'phabet are called over. The departed friend's name is John. At th pro nunciation of the letter "J," two rats At the , pronunciation of the - letter "O," two raps. ; At : the.pronunciation of the. letter "H," two raps. ; At the pronunciation of the letter "N," two raps. There you have the whole name spelled - out. J-o-h-n, " John,-Now,- the i spirit beine present, yon say: "John, are you happy?" Two raps give an affirmative answer. Prettv soon the hand of the medium begins to : twitch and toss, and, begins to write out, after paper and ink are furnished, a messasre from the eternal world.' What is remarkable, the departed spirit, al though it has been amid the illuminations or heaven, cannot spell as well as it used to. ; r It has lost-all grammatical accuracy and ,. can not write as distinctly. I received i" a letter through ; a " medium once. I r sent itv back. I said: "Just please . toll tho?e' ghosts they had better go to school and get improved in their orthography' Now, just think of spirits, that the Bible represents as enthroned in glory, coming, down to crawl under the table, and break crockery, and rap the window" shutter on a gusty night- Is there any consolation in such poor, miserable work compared with the thought that our departed Christian ien is, got rid -of F&in and languishing, are in the radiant society of heaven, and that we shall join them there, not in a stifled and mysterious half utterance, which makes the hair stand on end and. tbe cold chills creep the back, but in an unhin dered and illimitable delight - r f And none shall murmur or misdonbt, -- When tiod'8 great sunrise finds ns out. t Yes, my j friends, Spiritualism comes to those who are in trouble and sweeps them into its delusions. - Saul, in the midst of his disaster, went to the witch of En-dor. - The vast majority of-those .who have gone to spiritual mediums have, been sent the re through their m'.sfortunes. . , I learn still farther from this subject that Spiritualism and necromancy are affairs of the darkness. Why did not Saul ga in the day ? He was ashamed to go. Beside ? that, he knew that thu spiritual medium, like all her successors, performed her exploits in the night. ? Tha Davenports, the 1 owlers, the Foxes, the 'spiritual mediums of all ages, have chosen the night or a darkened room. Why? The- majority; of their wonders Lave been swindles, and deception prospers best iu the night ' t -; ' .. : Some of the performances of spiritual me diums are not to ba asrribad to fraud, but to some occult law that after awhile may be demonstrated. But I bjlieve that now 993 out of every 10?0 achievements on the part of spiritual ' mediums are arrant and un mitigated hnmbug. The mysterious red let ters that used to come out on the medium's arm were f otmd to have baen made by an iron pencil that went heavily over the flesh, not tearing it, but so disturbing the bio3i that it came up in great round letters. The witnesses i f the seances have locked tha door, put the ; key - in - their pocket arrested J the operator, " and - found out, - by searching the room, that " hid den levers moved the tables. .The sealed letters that were. mysteriously read without opening ijave been found to have been cut at the side, and then afterward slyly put to gether withr gum arabic; and the medium who, with a heavy blanket over his head, could read a book, has been found to have had a bottle of phosphoric oil, by the light of which everybody can read a book; and ven triloquism, and legerdemain, and sleight of hand, -and optical delusion, account for everything. Deception being the main staple of Spiritualism, , no wonder it - chooses the darkness.'-;-? - z?.:. r..,- -- ;-: : - " You have all seen strange and ' nnaccount able things in the night Almost every man has at some time had a touch of hallucina tion. Some time ago, after I had been over tempted to eat something indigestible before retiring at night,' after. retiring I saw the president of one of the prominent colleges astride the foot of the bed. while he , de manded of ni3 a loan otflve cents! - When I awakened: I bad no idea it was anything snpernaturaL ' And I have to advise you. if you hear and see strange things at night,' to stop eating hot mince pie and take a dose o! bilious medicine, it is an outraged physical organization, enough to deceive the very elect after sundown, and does nearly all its work in the night The witch of En-dor held her seances at night; so do all the witches. Away .with this religion of spooks! , . :; v - - Sti'd further, ; I learn from my text that Spiritualism is doom and death to its disci pie King Saul thought that he would get heln from the "medium;'? but the first thing that he sees make3 him swoon away, and no soouer was he resuscitated than he is told he must; die. Spiritualism is doom and death to every one that yields to it. ic ruins tne ooay. Look in upon an audience of Spiritualists. Cadarerous. : Weak. Nervous. Exhausted. Hands clammv and cold. . Nothing prospers but long hair soft marshes yielding rank grass. Spiritualism destroys tne physical he ilth." ; Its disciples are ever hearing start ling news : from the other wona. btrange tein?s cross the room in white. Table fidgety, wanting to get its feet loose as if to dance. Voices sepulchral and ominous. ; Be wildered with raps. I never knew a con firmed Spiritualist who had a healthy nervous system. It is incipient epilepsy and : cata lepsy. - Destroy your nervous system and you mierht as well be dead. I have ' noticed that people who are bearing' raps from the future world, nave Dut jiccie sirengcn ieit xo bear ie hard raps of this werld. It is an awful thing to trine with ones nervous system. It is so delicate it is so far reach ingits derangements are so terrible. Get the nervous system a jangle, and so far as your body and soul are concerned, the whole universe is a jangle. Better in our ignorance experiment with a chemists retort that may smite ns dead, or with an engineer's steam boiler that may blow us to atoms, than ex periment with the nervous system. A man can live with only one lung or with no eyes and be happy, as men have been under such afflictions; but woe to the man whose nerves are shattered! Spiritualism smite3 first of all, and mightily, against the nervous sys tem, and so makes lite miserable. ; - - i I indict spiritualism also, because it is a social and marital curse. The worst deeds of licentiousness and the worst orgies of obscen ity have been enacted under, its patronage. The story is too vile for me to telL -I -will not pollute mv tongue nor your ears with the recital. Sometimes civil law- has been evoked to stop?tha outrage. Famines innu merable have been broken up by it I has Sushed off hundreds of young women tinto a fe of profligacy. It talks about "elective nffinitww." and "afSnital relations ?nd "spiritual matches," and adopts the whole, vocabulary of free loveism.- In One of its public journals it declares "marriage is the monster curse of civilization." It ig source of debauchery ani intemperance. If Spiritualism could have its full swing, it would turn this world into a pandemonium of carnality; It is an unclean, adulterous, damnable religion, and the sooner jt drops into the hell from "which it rose, the better both for earth and heaven. .For the sake of mans honor and woman's purity, I say let the last vestige of it perish forever. r I wish 1 1 could gather up all the- rap3 it has ever he rd ' from spirits blest or damned, and gather them all on its own head, in oae thundering rap of annihilation! I rur.her iuiii.'t Spiritualism for the fact that it Is the cause of much insanity. There is not an asylum between Bangor and San Francisco which ha not the torn and bleed ing victims of this delusion. Go into any asylum, I care not where it is, and the pre siding doctor, after you have asked him: "What is the matter with that man?' will say: "Spiritualism demented him;" or, "What is the matter with that woman?' he will say: "Spiritualism demented her." It has taken down some of the brightest intel lects, it swept off into mental midnight judges, senators, governors, ministers of the gospel, and one time came near capturing one of the presidents of tbe United States. At FJatbus'h, near this ciiyr a . man. became absorbed with it, forsook his family, tctok his only $15,000, surrendered them to a spiritual medium in New York, attempted three times to put an end to his own life, and then was incarcerated in the State Lunatic asylum, where he is to day a raving maniac, v. Put your band v in ; the . hand of this witch of En-dor and shi ; will, lead you to bottomless perdition, where she holds hrr everlasting seance. ; Many years ago thesteanipr Atlantic started from Europe for the United States. , In midocean the machinery broke and she floundered around day after day and week after week, and for a whole month after she was due people won dered and finally gave her up. There was 4 great anguish in the cities, for there were many .who had friends aboard that vessels Some of the w omen, in their distress, went to the spiritual mediums and inquired as to the fate of that vessel. The mediums called up the spirits, and the rappings on the table indicated the steamship lost, - with all on board. - Women went raving mad, and were carried to the lunatic asylum,. After awhile one day' a gun . was , heard off - quarantine. The flags wentup on the shipping, and the bells of the churches were 'rung. The boys" ran through the streets, crying: '"Extra! The Atlantic is safef j There was the em bracing as from the dead, when friends came again to friends; but some of those passen gers 'went up - to find their wives ... in the lunatic asylum, where this cheat of in fernal Spiritualism had put thenu A man in Bellevue hospital, dying from wounds made by his own hand, was asked why he tried to commit suicide, and "he jsaid: "The spirits told me to.' - Parents have strangled their children, and when asked why they did it, replied: "Spiritualism demanded it" " It is the patronizer and forager for the madhouse. Judge Edmonds, in Broadway .Tabernacle, New York, delivering a lecture in behalf of Spiritualism, admitted,; in so many words:' , 'There is a fascination ; about consultation with the spirits of the dead that has a ten dency to lead people off. from their' right judgment, and to-instil into them a fanati cism that is revolting.to the natural mind.T . It not onlyrums its disc:plesv but it ruins the mediums ateo,; only give it time. : Tho Gadarenean swine on the banks of ; the lake of Galilee, no sooner - became spiritual me diums than down they went, in an avalanche cf pork, to the consternation of,all the herds men. The office of a medium is bad for a man, bad for a woman, bad for a beast I bring against this delusion a more fearful indictment: It ruins the soul immortal. First, it makes a man a quarter of an infidel; then it makes him half an infidel; then it mak s him whole infidel. The whole system, as I conceive it,is founded on the insufficiency of "th word of Goi .as a revelation. , God says the : Bible is enough for you to know about the future world!. . You say it is not enough, and there is where you and the Lord differ. You clear the table, you shove aside the Bible, you put your hand on the table, and say:, "Now let the spirits of the future world come and tell me something the Bible has not told me." And . although the Scriptures say: "Add : thou not unto his words iest he reprove thea, and thou be found a liar,'' you risk-it, and say: 'Come back, spirit of my departed father; come back, spirit of my! departed mother, of my companion?, of my little child, and tell me some things I don't know about you and about the unseen world." If God is ever slapped sauare in the face, it is when a spir itual medium- puts down her hand on the table, invoking spirits departed to make a revelation. God has told you all you ought to know, and how dare you be prying into that which is none of your business. You cannot keep the Bible in one hand and Spirit ualism in the other. , One or the other will slip out of your grasp, depend upon it : Spiritualism is adverse to the Bible in the 1 fact that it has in these last days called from the future world Christian men to testily against Cliristianityl Its mediums call bao t Loronzo Dow, the celebratec1 evangelist, an d Lorenzo Dow testifies that Christians are jdolators. Spiritualism calls back Tom Payn9 , and he testifies that he Js stopping in the . same house in heaven with John Bunyan. They call back John Wesley, and he testifies against the Christian religion, which he all his life gloriously preached. Andrew Jackson Davis. th3 greatest of all the Spiritualists, comes to the front and declares that tho New Testament is but "th dismal echo of a bar baric age," and the Bible only "one of tha pen and ink relics of Christianity." The attempt to submit the writings of Andrew Jackson Davis and other religious bilder dash inthe place . of this old Bible, I have in my house a book which was used in this very city in taepumic service oipspinmaiisiH. It is well worn with much service. . I open that book, and it says: ; s - - : "What is our naptism? Answer: i" requeue ablutions of water.. What is oar inspiration? - Plenty of fresh air and sunlight What is our. prayer? Abundant physical exercise. What is our love feast? A clear conscience and sound sleep" And I find from the same book that the chief item in their public wor ship is gymnastic exercise, and that is when-; ev- they want to rouse up their ; souls to a 'very high pitch of devotion they sing, '. page 65: "The night has ? gathered up her, moonlit fringes;" or page 16s "Come to the woods, heigho!" You say you are -not such a fool as that; but you will be if you keep on in the track you have started. " "But," : says some one, "wouldn't it be of advantage to hear from the future world?' Don't you think it would strengthen Chris tians? There are a great many Materialists , who do not believe there are souls, but if , spirits from the future world should knock and talk over to us they would be persuaded. " : To that I answer, in the ringing word? of the Son of God: "If they believe not-Moses. and the prophets, neither will they be "persuaded though one rose from the dead' . .,- .- t Now I believe, under God, that this sermon will save many from disease, insanity and v perdition. I believe these are the days of which the apostle spake when he said: "In the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to -seducing spirits." ; I think my audience, as well as other audiences in this dayneed to have reiterated in their , hearing the passages I quoted some minutes . ago: "There shall not be among you a con- . suiter" of familiar spirits,- or wizard, or nec--romancer; for they that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord;" and "The"1 soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits. I will set myself against them, and they shall be cut off from their people." - ; r 5 ,But I invite you this morning to a Christian ' seance, a noonday seance; This congregation.; is only one great family. Here is the church ; table. Come around the church table, take " your seats for this great Christian seance, put your Bible on the table, put your hands on the top of the Bible, and then listen, and hear if there are any? voices coming from the eternal world. I think there are. " Listen!. "Secret thing3 belong unto the Lord our God, but things that are revealed belong unto us and our children.' Surely that is a -voice from the spirit; world! ; But before you ! rise from this Christian f seance, . I want you to promise me you will be satisfied with the - divine revelation until the, light of the eternal, throne breaks upon your vision. I)q not go after the witch of En-dor. Do not sit down at table rappings," cither in sport or in dead -"earnest. Have ; your tables so well made, and their legs so -even, that they will not tip and rattla - If' the table must move, , let it be under the offices of industrious housewifery. Teach your children there are no ghosts to be seen or heard in this world save those who walk on two feat or four, human pr bestial. . Re member that Spiritualism at the best is a useless thng; for-if it tells .what the Bible reveals it is a superfluity,' and if it , toils what . the Bible does not reveal it is a lie. Instead of going" out to get other people to tell your fortune," tell your own fortune ;by putting your, own trust in God -and doing the best you can. - I , will tell, your fortune: "All things work togrft'er for good to them who love God," Insult not your departed friends by asking them to come down andr scrabble under an extension table. Rsiriem rer that there is only one Spirit whose dicta tion you have a right tr invoke, and that is the holy, blessed and omnipotent Spirit of Goi, Hark! He is rapping now, not oa a table or the floor, but rapping on the door of your heart, and every rap is an invitation to Christ and a warning of judgment to come. Oh, grieve him not away. - Quench him not. He has been all around, you this morning. He was all around you last night He has been around voU - a'l your Jives. Hark!

' - The , Austrian "" national 1 anthem is well known in England from its use as b hymn tune. It was- composed by Haydn and 'performed for the first time at the celebration at the birthday of the Emperor . Franz at Vienna in 1797. The Russian national anthem, "God ProtecS the Czar, was firs- performed at the Grand Theater, Moscow, in De cember, 1833. Previous to t' is there had been no national hymn in Russia, and the Czars usually contented them selves with God Save the King," . There never was ' a more rousing composition , than "Le Marseillaise." "The souniVof it," says Carlyle, "will make the blood tingle in' men's veins, and . whole . armies and assemblages will sing it with eyes weeping and burning, " with hearts defiant of death and despot." The origin of the British national anthem has proved a source of unin terrupted vexation for. many years past. - There is most as much "mys tery regarding it as there used to bo about the sources of the Nile. The common account attributes it to Dr. Bull, King James L's organist. " The Danish national anthem is not unlike the "Rule, Britannia. " It. was composed by v a Oerman named Hart mann about the year4 1770. -The "Sicilian Mariner's Hymn," though it can hardly be called . a national an them, is a favorite air with the gondo liers of Venice, who sing it frequently.

' - I have read a deal of sarcasm in my day, but I never read anything equal to tne sar casm contained in the above four chaptered book, written by some anonymous. I sus pect the experience portrayed, is a personal one; the author intimates as much on page 81. Let me give you a synopsis: " ; ' "Malaria," as it states, 'is the cloak with which superficial physicians cover Tip a mul titude of ill feelings which they do not under stand, and do not much care to investigate.'" It is also a cover for such diseases as they cannot cure. - When they advise their patient to travel or that he has overworked and needs rest and is probably suffering from malar a, it is a confession of ignorance or of inabil ity."

" Fickle appetite, frequent hea3aches,y severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irrita bUity, tired feelings, and general unfitness for business are succeeded in due time by alarming attacks of. rheumatism which flit3 about his body regardless of all human feel ings.

He bloats; cannot breathe: his pneumonia; cannot walk; cannot sleep on his left side; is fretful; very nervous and irritable; is pale and flabby; has frequent chills and fevers: everything about him seems to so wrong ; becomes suspicious; musters up courage and demands to know what is killing him! -- : '-Great heavens!" he cries, "whv have you kept me so long in ignorance?" : ''Because,!' said the doctor, " I read your fate five years ago. I thought best to keep you ignorant of the facts."" " .jr He dismisses his doctor, but too late! . His fortune has all gone in feea -. ., . ' But him, what becomes of him ? . v The other day a well, known Wall Street banker said to me: "It is really astonishing how prevalent bright's disease is becoming. Two of my personal friends are now dying of It." But it.is. not .incurable, I am certain, for my nephew was recently cured when his Physicians said .recovery was impossible, 'he case seems to me to be a wonderful one.-' This gentleman formerly represented his gov ernment in a fore gn country. He knows, appreciates and declares -the value of that preparation, because his nephew, who is a son of Danish Vfce-Consul Schmidt, was pro nounced incurable when the remedy, War ner's Safe Cure, was baguu. ' ''Yes," said his father, -'I was very skeptical, but since tak ing that remedy the boy is well." - - I happen to know what it was that cured the boy, for GenL; Christiansen, of Drexel," Morgan & Co. 's., told me that it was that ' wonderful remedy, Warner's safe cure.' Well, I suspect the hero of the book cured himself by the same means. ' - I cannot close my notice better, than by quoting the author's advice: . ;, " If. my friend, you have such a3 experi ence as I have portrayed, do . not put your trust in physicians to the exclusion of other remedical agencies. They have no monop oly over disease and I persmially know that many of them would far prefer that their patients should go to Heaven direct from their powerless hands than that they should be saved to earth by' the use of any " un authorized means." - - Ifot Fatal.
