A Woman’s Story.
A NARRATIVE OF WOMAN’S ILLS.
Vigbt Dnclng and Luck of Ont-Door
Exercise Bring Mitch Woe.
(From the Detroit Sun.)
The large, pretentious brick residence at
86 Miami avenue, in this city, is the home
of the heroine of this interesting story.
She is Miss Margaret Stenbaugh, and her
experiences during the past four years are
published here for the first time.
Miss Stenbaugh is a pretty girl of about
30 years and is to-day the true picture of
the ideal, healthy, robust and jovial Ameri
can girl. She was not always so, as is
proven by the accompanying statement
made by her.
“ Four years ago,” she said, I was such *
scrawny, puny little midget, pale and ema
ciated by an ailment peculiar to us women,
that my father and mother gave me up to
die. ’rhe local practitioner, whose name
■was Dr. Glassford,(l was at that time living
at Scotland, Ont.,) said it was only a matter
of days when I would be laid away in the
churchyard. “ I could not walk. 1 became
•o weak, and regularly every night my
father used to carry me up stairs to my
room. I can distinctly remember my tell
ing him that he wouldn’t have to carry me
about much longer, and how he said, while
the tears glistened in his eyes, that he
would be willing to do it always, if he
could only have me with him.
“ At this, time, I read, or was told by some
body, of the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my father went to Brant
ford, where he purchased a couple of boxes
from W. Wallace. I commenced taking
them, and I thought for a time that they did
me no good, but very shortly I noticed agreat
change. They began to act on my trouble,
and in the short space of six weeks I was
able to walk. I continued taking the pills,
and in six months I was in the condition
you see me now. I fully believe that they
alone saved me from the grave, and you will
always find myself and the balance of our
family ready to talk about the good. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills did for me.”
Sworn to and subscribed before me thia
15th dav of December, 1893.

An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People shows that they contain,
in a condensed form, all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They are
an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner
vous headache, the after effects of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female, and all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers,
or will be sent post paid on receipt of price,
(50 cents a box, or 6 boxes for s2.so—thcy
are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by ad

OLD OCEAN’S DRIFTS.
DIFFERENT CURRENTS FOUND BY
GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS.
Great Wanderings of Bottles Cast Into the
Waves at Different Places —One Drifted
5,700 Miles—Course and Speed of Gulf
Stream Shown.
Forty-four bottles which have been
adrift at sea for periods ranging from
five days to eight years—thrown over
board from vessels for the United States
government to test the ocean currents
—have been recovered during the past
six months, and their wanderings are il
lustrated in the June hydrographic chart.
‘ One of these bottles drifted around
the Atlantic in a semicircle of 5,700
miles, being at sea for 2,025 days. It
was thrown overboard from the yacht
L’Hirondelle July 28, 1887, and recov
ered Oct. 8, 1894. It was cast into the
sea several hundred miles east of New
foundland; traveled toward England,
passed south along the coast of Spain
and down to the easternmost extremity
of Africa and then went ashore on one
of the Bahama islands.
Another bottle was adrift 1,856 days
and traveled 2,100 miles, finally bring
ing up in the Arctic region. It started
midway between Great Britain and
Greenland. After bobbing about for
nearly 1,000 miles it passed Iceland,
entered the Greenland sea, then made a
semicircle and went ashore on the
northeast Arctic coast of Norway.
A long voyage made in good time
was that of a bottle started about 800
miles east of New York and which drift
ed about seven miles a day, traveling
S,OOO miles in 420 days, to the north
west coast of Norway.
The record breaking bottle in regard
to fast drifting is held by one which
journeyed 50 miles a day. During five
days off Newfoundland it got over 250
miles. Another quick trip was that of
one from the west end of Cuba, which
was swept along the coast of Central
America and Mexico and to near New
Orleans at the rate of over 15 miles a
day, making 1,800 miles in 88 days.
Two of the indicators thrown over
board several hundred miles off the No
va Scotia coast followed the transatlan
tic steamship route and went direct to
England.
An erratic course, but following the
currents, was that of a bottle started
from among the Cape Verde islands, off
the westernmost extremity of Africa. It
passed along the north coast of South
America, around the western end of Cu
ba, traveled north along Florida and
stopped on the coast of North Carolina,
after a trip of 4,200 miles in 457 days.
In 11 days a bottle reached Brazil from
a point 250 miles at sea, which is drift
ing at the rate of over 22 miles a day.
Another bottle traveled 50 miles in
toward the mouth of the Delaware in 82
days, and another journeyed 70 miles
from sea to the mouth of the Chesa
peake in 19 days.
In calculating the daily drift the hy
drographic office makes no allowance for
the time during which a bottle lay un
discovered upon the beach. Three indi
cators agree in giving a mean speed of
nine miles per day for the equatorial
current and three in giving a mean ve
locity of seven miles per day for the
mid-Atlantic gulf stream in its course
toward Europe. Both of these values
are, however, probably below the actual
daily drift. /
Fcur bottles seem to disprove the ex
istence of the well known Reimell cur-
rent, whicn has been supposed to set
north and northwest athwart the mouth
of the English and St. George’s chan
nels. The direction followed by three
bottles disproves the existence of the
current, while the course followed by
one would favor it, but its course, it is
thought, was due to southerly gales.
Other observers, notably the Prince of
Monaco, with his yacht, made a special
study of the supposed current and could
not find conclusive evidence of its exist
ence.
This chart indicates a circular move
ment of the waters of the Atlantic
around a point lying to the southwest
of the Azores. Starting from a point to
the southward of the Grand banks of
Newfoundland the outer edge of this
vast circulating system of waters mounts
toward the northeast as far as the fifty
first parallel of latitude, there becoming
easterly. Northwest of the Azores, as
shown by four bottles, a portion of the
current again takes a northeasterly di
rection to Scotland and Norway.
The main body of the drift, crossing
the meridian at 20 degrees and 40 and
50 north latitude, turns to the south
■ward and parallels the shores of Europe
and Africa to the Canaries.
Leaving the African coast, the exter
nal edge, it has now been shown, takes
a southwesterly direction, unites with
the northern portion of the equatorial
current, and, entering the gulf of Mexico
through the - Yucatan passage, emerges
as the gulf stream through the straits of
Florida.—New York World.
NO WONDER HE’S ECCENTRIC
The Only Wonder Is He Is Alive After
All His Adventures.
The police of Quincy, Ills., have ar
rested George Burns and detained him
at the police station on account of his
peculiar actions. It was discovered that
there was a cause for his eccentricity.
He has papers which show that he
was the head engineer on the steamer
City of Savannah, which was wrecked
off the coast of Massachusetts on Jan.
18, 1884, while en route from Boston to
Florida. He was reversing the levers
when the steamer struck the rocks, and
he was thrown into the machinery, re
ceiving injuries which crippled him for
life. There were 118 lives lost in the
accident, and Burns is one of the 87 sur
vivors. For a long while he lay on a
cot in Bellevue hospital, New York.
Dr. Agnew attended his case and re
moved five ribs from his left side and
trephined his skull, using six ounces of
silver for this purpose. He was com
pelled to wear a plaster of paris jacket
for four years after the accident. A por
tion of the lower end of his spine and
both elbow joints are gone. One knee
cap is on the back of the leg, and his
heart is on the extreme right side of the
body. He is now 64 years old and
walks very well and has a cheerful dis
position. He is a member of the G. A.
R. and served during the war on the
ironclad gunboat Essex, which was sta
tioned at Cairo during the early days of '
the rebellion.—St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat.
PIONEER WOMAN EDITOR.
Mrs. Cornelia Walter Richards the Aged
Journalist of the Boston Transcript.
Mrs. Cornelia Walter Richards has
been brought into notice the present
week by the occurrence of her seventy
fifth birthday. She was the first woman
editor in the country. The Boston Tran
script was started as a very small even
ing paper toward 60 years ago by Dutton
& Wentworth, a firm of Boston printers
who had the state printing. They en
gaged Lynde M. Walter, a cultivated
gentleman, to edit it.
His health soon failed, and he became
too ill to do much manual work. In this
emergency his sister, Miss Cornelia
Walter, acted as his amanuensis. When
he died, Miss Walter was engaged to
take his place. This was before the time
woman’s rights were much talked of.
The Transcript had a peculiar tea ta
ble sphere, and Miss Walter successfully
fitted into it. The paper had not a wide
general scope, though there was some
thing like a digest of the more impor
tant news of the day in it, which Miss
Walter prepared, and she also provided
what was thought necessary of the local
news of Boston with the aid of one re
porter, her sole assistant. She edited
The Transcript in this way for a few
years and constantly wrote for its col
umns, leaving the paper to marry a gen
tleman of pecuniary means. —Hartford
Courant.
The Practical Question.
“I think it only fair to warn you, Hi
ram, "said the aged politician to his
son, a promising young man who had
been elected to the legislature and was
about to start to the capital of the state
to enter upon his duties, ‘ ‘ that measures
deeply affecting the public welfare will
come up for consideration before the
body to which you have been elected, and
corrupt, designing men will seek to in
fluence your vote. They will try to
bribe you, Hiram. They will offer you
money. Be on your guard against them,
my boy, and remember that the reputa
tion of the family whose name you bear
and the honor of the district you repre
sent are at stake. ”
. “I will, father,” replied the young
man, deeply moved. ‘‘How—how much
will they probably offer me?”—Chicago
Tribune.
Eighteen Wean isignty.
A wedding was celebrated at Hun
gerford Parish church, England, of a re
markable character. The bridegroom
was Mr. James Timing Coxe of New
town Lodge, Hungerford, formerly mas
ter of the Craven hunt, who is verging
upon 80, and the bride was a girl, named
Radbourne, aged 18, who had been in
his service a week. Mr. Coxe’s late wife
died six months ago.

Successful Treatment by a Genoese Phy
sician—Saved 37 Ont of 43 Cases of Pul
monary Tuberculosis—A Matter of Ex
traordinary Interest to All.
It is well known that tuberculosis is
now classified among the diseases which
are both contagious and infectious. We
also know that this disease is to be
dreaded even more than smallpox, diph
theria and scarlet fever. It kills every
seventh person, and it has been consid
ered hitherto almost incurable. Numer
ous studies have been made in order to
find a remedy, but all have been in vain.
The infectiousness of tuberculosis was
proved when Robert Koch discovered
the specific bacillus and proved his dis
covery by inoculations from pure cul
tures.
Although numerous attempts have
been made to discover a means of pro
tection against this disease, and although
a great many scientists have studied the
disease, both bacteriologically and pa
thologically, there have been found no
such means.
About three weeks ago Dr. G. M. Ca
rasso, director of the Military hospital
at Genoa, published a paper on a
new treatment of tuberculosis 'which
was begun by him in 1888, and which
has been adopted by many of the lead
ing European physicians.
From Dr. Carasso’s paper is taken the
following:
“In 1888 I started my first experi
ments, submitting the sick to continu
ous inhalations of ethereal oil of pepper
mint, at the same time administering a
solution of creosote and advising hyper
alimentation. As a result of this treat
ment I noticed considerable improve
ment in the general health of the pa
tient and became convinced that this
method by far excelled all other meth
ods hitherto known. I advised long in
halations of the vapor from oil of pep
permint and took care that the patients
kept their breath so long that the mix
ture of the atmospheric air and the pep
permint vapor could exert its influence
upon the walls of the respiratory canal
and upon the tissues of the lungs as
long as possible. The solution of creo
sote, as administered through the mouth,
was mixed with a small amount of the
peppermint essence in order to prohibit
secondary infection through the alimen
tary tract.
“I found that by such treatment the
bacillus tuberculosis disappeared from
the sputum much more rapidly than by
any other method. They disappeared in
the cases treated by me constantly dur
ing a minimum of ten and a maximum
of 60 days. At the same time; the cough
ing became less intense and the mem
brane and sputum lost its puslike and
bloody serous character. Perspiration
did not take place to such an extent as
before; the alimentation became much
more effect*ve, and the normal perspi
ration returned. The physiological
sound accompanying respiration entirely
disappeared.
“If there were any fever, it disap
peared in the course of a few days; if
fever prevailed, I was dealing with a
complication.
■ ‘ Out of 43 cases of pulmonary tuber
culosis I had 87 cases of recovery when
I first published my method. I conclud
ed as to healing from the following
facts:
“First.—That bacillus tuberculosis
constantly disappeared from the sputum.
‘ ‘ Second. —All patients suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis reached perfect
recovery, and many of the healings are
at present from five to six years old.
“Third.—This simple and effective
method is perfectly harmless. Since
that time new treatments have resulted
in additional cases of recovery. ”
Dr. Carasso’s communication is so ex
traordinarily interesting that it ought
to be known, not only to physicians, but
also to the public in general. In view
of the many sorts of bogus medicines in
the market, which are claimed to be
able to effect a cure of tuberculosis, the
sound mode of treatment as advised by
a celebrated and illustrious scientist and
physician should be noted. This treat
ment can be used by anybody, and when
the question as to life and death arises,
who will not be glad to follow it, even
if its beginning should be a little diffi
cult?
This is no official document, but mere
ly a private attempt to demonstrate that
even advanced methods of medical treat
ment may be intelligently understood if
not intelligently carried out by the pub
lic, and by men and women not skilled
in the practice of medicine.
