moment or two he was oomfortablv laid
on the sofa in a drunken sleep. His

About davlfcrht he woke ud in the moat

said his wife; "you have been sick."
"1 am not sick." -'Oh. yes you are

don't be alarmed and send for a doctor,
and above all, don't blister me again."
"Uh I indeed I will I All that saved
you were the blisters. And if you have

LOSING THE MONEY.
The lesson was on profit and loss, and
the teacher was endeavoring to make
her pupils reason out the problems.
"If a man bought a hat for five dol
lars and sold it for three, bow many
dollars would he lose ?"
"Two," answered a bright little fellow
who could subtract three from five.
The teacher surprised at his quick
ness and apparent knowledge of arith
metic, asked him to give the reason
why. "How did the man lose the
money?"
"Must have dropped it somewhere'
said the little innocent, who was better
at guessing than reasoning.
WHAT HE THOUGHT.
He was a Western Senator not used to
fashionable ways, and was a guest at a
Washington baLL Entering a brilliantly
illuminated suite, he suddenly stopped;
baoked toward the door, and in horrified
tones exclaimed:
"My stars 1 I've made a mistake 1"
"My dear Senator Blank," said the
hostess, hurrying toward him, "whaf s
the matter? You look ilL"
"Oh, nothing, nothing, only I am
such a dolt I I oame very near entering
this apartment by mistake. Please par
don me, and show me the way to the
ball-room."
"Why, Senator, this is the ball-room.
What did you think it was ?"

REMARKABLE ESCAPJE FROM DEATH.
Interesting- Personal Experience ot
Weil-Known Philadelphia Lady.
From Oie Philadelphia Times.
The following remarkable statement, lately
made to one of our reporters, is vouched for by
Captain Harry Mitchell, residing at No. 816
Jarvis street, a prominent Bepubliean of the
First ward, and formerly Captain of the Watch
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Mr. Mitchell
happened to know that we had lately devoted
considerable time to tne investigation oi cases
where bodily relief had resulted from the use of
tnat now 'amous medicine, Urown suon Hitters,
and meeting the reoorter the other dav in front
of Independence HalL said : '1 can tell you of
umeuuoK mat may uueroef too. a auww i
elderly lady down town who told me yesterday
th it she had been rescued from the very laws
0 death by using Brown's Iron Bitters. She is
.a intimate family acquaintance of mine, and I
knew she had been very sick and was hardly ex
pected to live from hour to hour. Her name is
Mrs. Margaret Springfield, and she resides at
No. 812 Pierce street. She is the mother of a
grown-up family of children, and is well-known
in the southern section of the city." Captain
Mitchell then offered a personal introduction to
Mrs. Springfield, and an appointment was
made. They accordingly met and proceeded to
gether to Mrs. Springfield's residence. The lady
was not at home, but was found at the house of
her daughter, corner of Eighth and Tasker
streets. Our reporter states as follows: "t
found Mrs. Springfield a well-preserved elderly
lady of pleasing manners and good conversa
tional powers. Learning the object of our visit,
she made the following statement in the pres
ence of Captain Mitchell and her daughter : 1
can say that I thought I was on my death-bed,
and none of my family or friends believed that
1 would recover. People were calling at my
house continually asking about me, and from
day to day I was supposed to be dying. I am
quite well now, and I can say that I consider
my wonderful recovery entirely due to the use
of Brown's Iron Bitters. I was bedfast for
three weeks, and for at least five weeks I could
not eat anything. My greatest trouble was ex
cessive pains in my side and breast, and I had
tne worst kind of malarial symptoms. I became
so weak that I could not even lift my hand, and
was completely prostrated all over. For some
time I really felt more dead than alive. I know
I contracted a very heavy cold, and it seemed to
permeate every part of my system. I suffered
terribly, and got so bad f could not take any
thing at all. In sheer desperation I resolved to
try Brown's lion Bitters because I had read
about them. I sent for a bottle and commenced
taking it, and to my great delight and astonish
ment I began to feel a sense of relief at once. I
continued using i , and it seemed to drive out
the pains in my breast. I began to gain a little
strength, and my appetite gradually returned.
Brown's Iron Bitters appeared to ba just the
thing my prostrated condition required, and, as
I have said, I believe it saved my life. Certainly
I never took anything in mv life that did me so
muoh good, and I can certainly say that Brown's
Iron Bitters brought me to strong life when !
everybody thought I was dying.' "

"I suffered from kidney troub'.e, had no appe
tite : the little I did eat disagree 1 with me. I
tried many remedies without relief. Brown's
Iron Bitters restored my health and appetite,
and increased my weight 20 pounds."
Mr. Cassa Campbell, Six Mile, Ala., says : "I
suffered for several years with general weakness.
Doctors said I had consumption, for which they
treated me, without giving relief. I tried
Brown's Iron Bitters and experienced the most
beneficial results."
Mr. Albert Gregory. Quincy, Fla., says: "I
tried many remedies for chills and fevers, but
nothing ever did me any permanent good save
Brown's Iron Bitters. I cheerfully endorse this
remedy."
