THE FREEZING
CURE
Wonderful Discovery of a Fa*
mous Swiss Chemist.
WHAT "LIQUIDE PICTEL” DOES
Said to Cure Consumption and all
Lung and Kidnev Diseases.
By Associated Prew.
New York, Dec. 20—The Herald will say
-today: Raol Pictet the famous Swiss sa
vant, chevalier of the Legion of Honor,
discoverer of the liquefaction of oxygen
and a member of more than forty scien
tific societies in France and Germany, has
come to America to demonstrate to the
•physicians and scientists here what he is
convinced is a sure cure for diseases of
the lungs, the stomach and the kidneys.
La Frigorheraple, is the name of his new
discovery. The necessary machinery con
sists of a well of metal lined with thick
furs, in which the patient descends, the
depth being 5 feet. This is surrounded
•by an outer shell while the cavity between
the outer and inner walls is filled with a
combination of sulphurous and carbolic
acids, known to the scientific world as
“liquide pictet” after its discoverer. This
gas is kept in a liquid state at 110 degrees
below zero and is constantly forced into
the cavity by specially constructed pumps.
tAI. Pictet says the patient surrounded by
the furs and the icy liquid has no impres
sion of cold whatever and in fact his tem
perature rises after three seconds’- treat
ment increasing from one half to one de
gree in five minutes. A period of treat
ment ranging from five to fifteen minutes
is always sufficient for the time being, the '
number of needful repetitions varying in '
each individual case. M. Pictet says he
himself after fifteen years of illness was
cured after eight descents into “the well.”
I he Prince of Servia, he says was abso
lutely cured by six descents after twenty
years of continuous ill health.
'M. Pictet said that he had made his dis
covery of the beneficial effects of the
“liquid pictet some six years ago and had
kept quiet for years in order that he might
procure a thorough and scientific test of
'.he new process by recognized physicians.
In IS'.H; Cordes and Chossat, two prominent
scientific medical men of Geneva, took up
•the investigation of M. Pictet’s >ell and
for the past two years have devoted their
•entire time to this study. Their report was
-published two months ago and is a re
markable document. According to this re
•port two hundred persons suffering from
various affections of the lungs, nerves and
kidneys were subjected to every possible
iphysilogical test in connection with the
results of descents into the “'Pictet well,”
while many others were examined less
rigorously and the astounding statement
is made that in every single case the
treatment was absolutely successful and
•the particular disease cured. A quarter of
an hour after the descent one-half of the
superfluous and disease breeding albumen,
sugar and phosphate in the body have en
ftirely fll®appeared and the appetite of the
patient has 'been materilly increased.
M. Pictet said he had not made known
his discovery to the world before because
he wished scientific and exhaustive re
search to prove the value of his discovery.
He believes that in five or six years every
town of ten thousand inhabitants will pos
sess one of these wells and estimates that
it will make an outlay of ten million dol
lars from the revenue throughout the
United States as a complete apparatus with
the compressor and all necessary machin
ery costs $50,000-
While the cost of treatment was decided
•by the two doctors who conducted the
“wells” in Geneva one of whom had cured
himself of chronic bronchitis by the freez
ing cure, the poor of Geneva were receiv
ing gratituous treatment at the present
time.
M. Pictet is sanguine as to the accep
tance of his treatment by medical author
ities of country and believes that the
“freezing cure” will be in general use in
America in two or three years. The action
of the well. M. Pictet says, is extremely
rapid in all cases and has been successful
in consumption as in other diseases, the ef
fect being similar to the action of high
mountain air on diseased lungs.
M. Pictet has. however, adapted his
“liquide pictet” to other uses beside those
of a medicinal and healing nature. By its
aid. he says, he has been enabled to pro
duce a highly refined and purified quality
of acetylene gas. which, its inventor be
lieves, will revolutionize the present meth
ods of lighting, heating and motive power.
Purifying the acetylene gas at a low tem
perature. by the aid of the “liquide pictet”
a product is obtained that, its inventor as
serts. will not explode, is absolutely with
out smoke, and produces a light from
twenty to twenty-five times more brilliant
than that of ordinary illuminaing gas.
Scientific purity is attained at a tempera
ture of 213 degrees below zero, while for
the ordinary demands of commerce, 110 de
grees below zero is considered sufficient.
The “liquide pictet,” M. Pictet says, does
not however, purify actelyene gas alone,
but is now being used in Europe to purify
drugs, more particularly chloroform, sul
phurous ether, cocaine and antipyrine. The
refined chloroform is the most important
product, being rendered absolutely pure at
110 degrees below zero. So pure indeed is
the new quality that it has been used sur
gically for six hundred thousand persons
in France with no fatal results, the per
centage of fatality in connection with the
sue of ordinary*chloroform being one death
in every two thousand cases. Fifty kilo
grams of “liquide pictet” per hour is nec
essary for all these refiniiig processes, the
machine developing eighty horse power and
being valued at $200,000.
>M. Pictet intends to remain a consider
able time in this country and will visit all
the principal colleges and universities of
the North and West.
The savant expects to remain in this
city about five weeks and will finally pay
visits to the scientific men of the univer
sities and schools. From this city M.
Pictet will go to Harvard, then to Phila
delphia and later to all the prominent col-
: DEER SWIM OVER TO ST SIMON’S
Jekyl Island Millionaires Lose Some of Their
Venison.
Brunswick, Ga.. Dec. 20.—0 n the 14th
■ Jekyl Island will be open for the season of
: 18‘?8-99. The coming of Mr. Maurice and
family wfll at that time, as usual, mark
the arrival of the first guests and they will
remain their usual three months at this
delightful resort. The club members and
their guests will find that this year the
game on the island is more plentiful than
ever before, and in this conection a rather
strange condition of affairs exists.
It has always been claimed that the
game on Jekyl Island would not leave the
j island, but reports from St. Simon’s come
to the effect that numbers of the deer are
swimming across St. Simon’s sound and
landing on the beach near Ocean Pier. The
result is that numerous ’hunters are get
ting shots and enjoying venison in such
quantities as they never have enjoyed the
that delicacy before.
It seems that the deer on Jekyl have in
creased so numerously within the past few
years that they are no longer wholly wild,
but at night come up around the club
house and play around the flowers. Their
depredations on the choice beds of the mil
lionaires ’ favorite plants became so
troublesome that a strong wire fence was
built and now encloses some acres of the
grounds immediately around the club
house. This kept the deer away from the
flowers, but it did not do anything toward
stopping them from inreasing in numbers.
When the storm came it carried away lots
Os the vegetation that 'the deer had been
feeding on and there was not enough left
to go round.
The deer then comenced to figure on
going off to get something to eat and it
ended in 'their seeking St. Simon’s. It is
a good swim across the sbund to St. Si
mon’s beach, but they made it, and now
the hunters string along the coast and
watch for them to come. Sometimes men
are in boats crossing the sound and see
the deer coming. A chase ensues over the
water and frequently the deer turn back
toward Jekyl shore and seek refuge in the
woods of the island. They seem 'to know
that no one is allowed to place their feet
on Jekyl Island withou't permission from
the club, and in this their instinct tells
them that it is better to swim a long ways
back and get safe on Jekyl- than it is to
swim even a short ways to iSt. Simon’s
and then run the risk of being hunted by
men on foot and horseback after they get
there. It is a novel state of affairs, but it
is safe to say that one-half of the deer
could leave Jekyl and there would still be
enough left for the millionaire sports who
visit that place to have all they want to
shoot at.
Millions Given Away
It is certainly gratifying to the public t
know of one concern in the land which
is not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million bottle of this great medicine;
and have the satisfaction of knowing that
it has absolutely cured thousands of hope
less oases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call on
H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists, and get a
free trail bottle. Regular size 50c and sl.
Every bottle guaranteed or price refunded.
WILL STRETCH ROPE,
White Men of Worth and Lee Counties Per
suing a Negro.J
Albany, Ga., Dec. 20 —The white men of
two counties —Worth and Lee—are scour
ing the country in the neighborhood of
Philema, a small station on the Albany and
Northern road, fourteen miles above Al
bany, in search of a brute who committed,
about 9 o’clock Sunday night, one of the
most revolting crimes that has ever oc
curred in this section of the state. The
determined men who have set to work to
apprehend the inhuman being who is the
object of their search are leaving no stone
unturned to run him to earth. Hounds are
on his track and the whole neighborhood
is aroused.
Sunday night, at the above stated hour,
a burly negro, whose appearance showed
some attempts at disguise, entered, unan
nounced. the house of J. S. ’Maruney, five
miles north of Philema, and presenting a
shotgun at the breast of the man, com
manded his wife to bind him hand and
foot. Trembling for the life of her hus
band, she obeyed. The negro then pro
ceeded to search the house for booty, and
secured S3O in cash from Maruney’s per
son. He then turned his attention to the
defenseless woman, who had been forced
to render hed husband and protector help
less, and committed the most hideous
crime which mind can conceive. He
then made his escape.
The negro who committed the dastardly
deed is described as being black, about
five feet nine inches high, thirty-five years
old. wearing a number nine shoe, with
scattering beard on his face. He wore a
blue blouse and light brown shirt and he
is believed to have had a companion out
side the house.
A negro named Jule Henderson, against
whom there is a strong chain of circum
stantial evidence, is in the hands of the
people of Philema. and is being held to
wait developments.
The Maruneys are highly respectable
colored people and stand well in the com
munity where they live.
Several leading citizens of Lee county
have offered a reward of SIOO for the ar
rest. with proof to convict, of the guilty
party or parties.

By Associated Press.
New Aork, Dec. 20. —<A special to UIC
Tribune from Washington says: Secretary
Long will soon issue call
ing for proposals for raising the Maine
and the Cristobal Colon, in accordance
with the decision of the board of construc
tion to which the matter had been refer
red, The board has under consideration
several propositions from engineers and
wrecking companies presenting feasible
schemes for raising the vessels and deliv
ering them at the iNew York or Norfolk
navy yards without putting the govern
'to any expense unless their efforts were
successful. It was impossible to make any
selection from the proposals in view of the
fact that so many contractors of apparent
'trustworthiness were willing to put. their
confidence to the test in attempting to
raise the vessels and running the risk of
failure. The members of the board agreed
that it would be advisable to have an open
competition and award the work to the
bidder who would be willing to accept the
most reasonable compensation, other
things being equal. In the advertisement
suggested by the board bidders will be in
formed that they must furnish 'the navy
navy department satisfactory bonds in
such amount that the government will be
fully protected against loss through in

It cures all forms of eruptive skin diseases.
It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of con

was a coldness in my stomach and a weight

ridge around my right side, and in a short time
I was bloated. I was treated by three of our best
