2 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.

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. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County. Frank J.

BIDS TO BE CALLED FOR Belief of the Board of Construction That the Work is Feas ible. 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 competency or carelessness.

It cures all forms of eruptive skin diseases. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of con sumption. It cures bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood, obstinate coughs and kindred ailments. It gives vigor and health to the muscles and activity to the brain. Thousands have testified to the benefits derived from the use of this wonderful medicine. All medicine stores sell it. Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co., Ind., writes : “In the year of 1894, I was taken with stomach trouble nervous dyspepsia. There was a coldness in my stomach and a weight which seemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation; was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge around my right side, and in a short time I was bloated. I was treated by three of our best physicians but got no relief. I was so weak I could not walk across the room without assis tance. I took Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery and one bottle of the ‘Pleasant Pellets.’ I began to improve very fast after the use of a ; few bottles.
