A SAD MISFORTUNE.

Dr. H. A. Dow, of the Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich., has just received word from his friend, Brother T. McF. Duff, 11½ N. Perry St., Montgomery, Ala., that the treatment rooms he was fitting up in that city have just been destroyed by fire, with all the apparatus arranged for his business, such as batteries, instruments, a hot-air cabinet, etc. He had labored two years to get his rooms in readiness, and some of his apparatus had just been procured new. The fire is supposed to have originated from electric wires, in an electric store underneath his apartments, and broke out about one o'clock in the morning. The fire was so located as to burn out the rear room, with all his office fixtures and appliances, and a portion of his household utensils and groceries. But all is gone now, and he is left destitute of means and facilities for his work. If any of his friends see fit to assist him in his extremity to re-establish himself, it will be thankfully received.
