ON ANGRY SEAS.
Using Oil to Lessen the Dan
gers ofvNavlgation.
Successjil Battling With Threatening
Waves in Heavy Galas.
The use of oil to lessen the dangerous
effects of heavy seas has been approved
by a few seamen wh.le the majority ridi
cule the theory, says the New York Mail
and Express. ' A reporter who called at
the Hydrographic office recently received
data that would set the matter at rest.
One of the offieeis in discussing the ques
tion said:
‘•The evidence of the value of oil in
appeasing an angry sea increases daily,
a d justifies the Hydrographic office in
obtaining all the facts on the subject.
Mineral oil is not recommended, while the
importance of carrying a supply of ani
mal or vegetable oil, to be used in an
emergency, cannot be overrated. Here
-<to»pa-.6ome cases that will be of interest to
Vphippiug community. Capt. Hill, of
the bark Neptune, en route from Cien-
fuegos to ^Boston, experienced a heavy
gale. The seas were tumbling over the
ship, endangering the sailors* lives as well
as the ship and cargo. To try what
effect oil would have on the seas the cap
tain caused two hempen burlap bags made
three feet long and ten inches wide and
roped with ratline stuff, to be filled half
full of oakum, and poured two quarts cf
pihe or wood oil in each one. The bags
were hung from the catheads low enough
to be just a-wnsh. The effect was simply
marvellous. Scarcely a drop of water
came on board after putting the bags out.
The reef was shaken out and the vessel
made two hundred and eighty miles in
tweuty-four hours. This was on Janua
ry 29, 1886, in latitude 50 degrees north,
lougitiule 74 west. The bags were put
out at 8 a. m. and kept out for sixteen
hours, in that time using about six quarts
of oil. During the same voyage, on Feb
ruary ^ 1886, while in latitude 41 no: th,
longitude 08.25 west, a terrible gale from
the northeast caused the waters to sweep
the deck fore and aft, and it was freezing
at a great rate. The ship was lying to
under lower maintopsnil. In this in
stance four bags were ns- d, two forward
at each cathead and two aft at each
bumbkin. It had precisely the same
eflfcet*as in the previous case, and in my
opinion the bark and all on board were
saved from total destruction by the use
of oil.
“Capt. William Peake, master of the
schooner J. F. Kraut/., was making a
passage from Port Spain, Trinidad, to
Boston. When fifteen miles east of Cape
Hatteras he experienced a terrible gale
from the north-northeast. The sails were
blown away, men were washed away
from the pumps, boats and other utensils
on the deck were totally wrecked by the
heavy seas. The captain used two com
mon wooden kegs filled with eight gal
lons of linseed oil. A small hole for a
vent was bored in the bottom and top of
the kegs, so as to permit the oil to grad
ually ooze out. The kegs were lashed to
the quarters of the vessel. The oil vent
was just large enough to allow, not much
more than a drop at a time to ooze out.
The effect was all that could be desired.
Scarcely a drop of water came on board,
the men succeeded in pumping cut the
vessel and clearing the decks of the de
bris. The oil was used for sixteen hours
from 2 a. m. to 6 p. m., and in that time
about eighj-^jaHefcs, -air* told;- were ex-
r,, (i> ;nffeiir The same captain also reports
that during another voyage he was caught
jn a hurricane. He got a common can
vas bag, made a small hole in the bottom,
filled the bag with oakum, and then
poured in a quantity of common deck
varnish. The bag was suspended from
the martingale and allowed to just clear
the water. He ordertd the bug to be
kept in position for twenty-four hours,
and used in that time about four gallons
of the varnish. From the position of the
bag the varnish had but very little time
to act on the combers before the seas
reached the bows; still it had a marked
effect on them so much so that the vessel
was no longer boarded by the heavy seas,
although they were running just as high.
The crew were able to return to the
pumps and other work without risk to
life or limb. There are many other cases
where the use of oil is credited with hav
ing saved vessels, but what I have told
ybu ought to be sufficient to satisfy the
most incredulous of its efficacy. We are
endeavoring to impress upon all seamen
the importance of its use and before long
those who ridiculed the idea will be in
duced to believe in it.”
f
Tho Curative Power of Nature.
The old writers recognized, in a blind
sort of way, that there was a force in the
organism which tended toward recovery
from disease. This they called “the
curative power of nature." One of the
glorious triumphs of modern medicine is
a more perfect appreciation of this great
fact. “To let well enough alone,” and
to not weaken or prevent the action of
any organ or structure unless it is clear
that something is to be gained by so
doing, are the results of this fact being
duly appreciated. The “kill-or-cure”
doctrine is utterly abandoned by all who
have any real knowledge of modern sci
ence.
In order to secure the full operation of
“the curative power oT nature” the sick
dog goes away by himself and obtains
rest and quiet. All the intelligent ani
mals do the-same. Rest for the debili
tated body, or of the portion of it injur
ed by overuse or disease, is one of the
most efficient methods of obtaining a res
toration to health. - The signs that rest
iH needed may-be visible only to those
who have studied the action of the organs
in a healthy state. Rest of one part may
bring injury to health organs. Exercise of
the natural power-.iu health is generally
the only method of securing their future
healthy action.—Globe-Democrat.

Married with liifle in Ilftnd.
A Columbia (Texas) letter describes a
dramatic incident as follows: An excit
ing and dramatic incident occurred here
last evening. Sunday morning two men
rode into towu. Their remarkable ap
pearance at once attracted the attention
of every one.' They were covered with
mud and carried a perfect arsenal of
rifles, pistols and knives with them. One
was a man over sixty, with long, gray
hair, and blood in his eye; the other was
a man of thirty years, built like a giant
and wearing a terrible scowl on his face.
They were father and son, William Wof
ford and Sam Wofford, from the back-
woods of Matagorda County. The old
man said he was lookingTor his “darter
Kate,” who had “lit out” with her cous
in, Bill Wofford. Yesterday the father
and son located the runaway couple, who
were occupying a small fisherman’s tent
half a mile outside the town. When old
Wofford found out the location of his
erring “darter,” a largo crowd of curious
men and boys followed the terrible-look
ing pair to the vicinity of the tent, as the
old man kept constantly examining his
gun and saying: “Sam, I’m go’en to
kill him suah 1” As they neared the tens
the crowd fell back, while the old man
and his giant son approached with rifles
in hand. Suddenly the flap of the ten
was violently thrown open from the in
side, and there stood Bill and Kate, each
holding a terrible Winchester rifle—one
covering the old man, the other the son.
Old grayhead and Sam glared like two
wild beasts on the brave lovers, and Bill
called out: “Do yon s’pose I’m go’n to
give her up ,arter we done tramped it
together all the way from the Colorado
to the Brazos? Not much; she mine’s,
and you may stau’ there now and see us
married." The old man and Sam, under
cover of the suggestive Winchesters,
s’.owlv moved back, all the time facing
flic boy Bill and his Kate, who had the
drop on them. Meantime a courier had
gone to town for a license and a preach
er, and after nearly two hours, during
which time Bill and Kate never took
their eyes off of the okl man and Sam,
and threatened to kill either ‘should he
raise a hand, the preacher and the license
arrived.
During the ceremony the bridegroom
kept his rifle at a half-cock pointing tow
ards his father-in-law. The preacher
was so afraid the}’ would open hostilities
while he was there tliTit he could scarcely
finish the ceremony. After the marriage
the old man delivered a terrible curse on
both, said he would spare their lives now,
provided they never set foot in Matagorda
County. “If you do,” said he, as he
shook his -long, dirty, yellow locks and
violently struck his rifle with one hand,
“if you do, you’re both on you dead
soon as you cross the line, for when I’m
gone Sam lie’s there. You’ve got the
whole world before you, ’cept Matagorda
County. Now go!” With this philippic
the old man and sou departed forlorn,
while Bill pulled down the flap of tho
tent.
Charged by a Bison.
In William T. Ilornaday’s “Two Years
in the Jungle,” the following thrilling
account of being charged by a bison is
given. “After a long chase,” he says,
“we came up with the bison, nnd saw
him standing about eighty yards,Off. I
was armed with a .500 express rifle, and
instantly fired, but unfortunately only
wounded the animal. He dashed away.
With_ a -party of Irulars (natives), I fol
lowed, and came uiion him a mile farther
on. The instant he caught sight of me,
he turned to charge, when I fired again,
and he galloped madly off into the forest.
We followed down the side of the hill,
and I was looking about, trying to make
out where he could have gone, when I
caught sight of his nose not two feet
from me. He had backed himself into a
dense mass of creepers, and was lying in
wait for me. “In half a second, with a
snort like a steam-engine, he sent me fly
ing through the air. I fell on my back,
and was immediately struck a blow on
my ribs that made them spring inward,
as the top of a hencoop would with a
heavy man sitting on it. I felt that my
last hour had come. He struck me
with liis head again and again, some
times on my breast, back nnd sides,
sometimes on my thighs, while again he
only struck the ground in his blind fury.
I felt that nothing could save me. He
tried to turn me over with his nose, that
he might pierce me with his horns, nnd
getting one horn under my belt, he actu
ally lifted me up bodily. Luckily it was
an old belt, and the buckle snapped. I
siezed his horn and held on to it with all
my strength. Iu trying to shake himself
free, he took the whole of the skin off
the under side of my right arm with his
horn. The whole of this time, r.o less
than six Irulars—natives—had been calm
ly looking on, and I heard one of them say:
“‘Dear me! the bison is killing the
gentleman!’
“Another said, ‘send for the shikaree
to shoot it.’
“The shikaree was two miles away
with my tiffin basket! One of the
Irulars now uttered a most diabolical yell.
The bison threw up his head, then turned
tail and dashed down the hill. The
next day I was carried into Coimbatore,
where I was confined to my bed for a
fortnight, my whole body being black
and blue. Nevertheless, that bison’s
head now adorns my dining-room.”
FOB THE FARM AND HOME.
Toads ns Bee Eaters.
“It is not, I bclftve, generally known,’
writes a correspondent of the London
Graphic, “that toads arc most deter
mined bee-eaters, and that however ser-
vicable the toad may be in kitchen gar
dens nnd frames as a slug and insect
destroyer, the freer you can keep your
apiary from his presence the better.
Toads will wait at the foot of a hive to
seize any honey-laden bee that may hap
pen to fall to the ground on its return
from foraging,and one bee-master saw over
a dozen little workers enptured in the
space of half an hour by an old fat fellow,
who darted out his tongue with wonder
ful celerity immediately he saw a bee on
the ground. The bees had been collect
ing pollen, and many of them, being heav
ily laden, were unable to reach the floor
board of the hive.”

Washing Fruit Trees.
"Washing the trunks of fruits trees pre
vents them from becoming hide-bound.
! Such a condition in tre?s is often started
by poverty or unsuitable soil. Few soils
1 can be too rich for fruit trees. If fertil
izers can be had cheaply, most orchards
| are-benefited by manuring. If the ground
! beneath the tree be cropped with vegeta
ble or farm produce, manure must be ap
plied ; the trees then get some as well as
; the vegetables. If grass is grown under
the trees, unless the land is alluvial and
some food is brought down from the
higher land surface, dressing should be
given every other year. It is a good
, plan to have orchards in grass, provided
care be taken not to permit the grass to
. starve the trees.
Applying Wood Ail lie.
E. P. Root, of Monroe County, N. Y.,
says in the New York Tribune: Clay
lands, usually heavy and tenacious,
! unless deficient in pcitash is less benefited
I by wood ashes, for the tendency is -to
make it more compact; sandy and gravel
ly soils, usually loose and friable and at
! the same time deficient in potash, are
j directly benefited by ashes. The light
j soils are usually too loose for either grass
; or the small grains, and the effect of
ashes is to solidify as well as to supply
the want of mineral plant food. The
1 grass crop is much helped by ashes, espe
cially on dried land, and in ordinary
cases a greater profit will be derived from
a given quantity applied to meadow or
pasture than when used for grain grow
ing. Moreover, the ashes are very last
ing. But I think nowhere else will they
1 pay better than for potatoes, this plant
being a rank feeder on potash. I have
been in the practice ot applying wood
ashes, one part, mixed With plaster, t wo
parts, to the potato land soon after plnat-
ing, or as soon as the germ begins to
break the ground, putting a larg-' hand
ful on each hill. I have also applied
gypsum, ashes, and salt, mixed in about
equal portions by weight, in the hill
when covering the seed, which produced
’ the finest and cleanest tubers I ever
raised, and in good yield; and I regard
: this treatment as a sure remedy for
“scabby potatoes,” so common on many
farms.
Wntcll the Stork.
Keep n close watch of the stock, and
be quick to notice if any of it is not
i thriving. The good farmer should be
. able i i t il at a glance when any of his
! stock iu r.i.t doing well. A dull eye,
a starin oat, an unnatural position iu
standing or lying, a sluggish appearance,
a loss of appetite, or an appetite for nn-
| natural subst itiees—any of these are usu-
! ally symptoflis of lometliing wrong, and
it is not often that severe illness will
commence among any of the farm stock
without one or more of these evidences
of ill-health, or at least of that unthrifty
condition which predisposes to disense,
having been manifested for some days
i previous. Taken in season, some sim-
: pie remedy, with a little extra care and
nursing, may do more to effect a cure
than can be done by the best veterinary
surgeon a few days later. It is usually
better to separate such animals from the
rest of the lfcrd, so far at least to prevent
them from being tyranized over by their
stronger mates, as they are too apt to be-
This is more important with sheep and
swine which feed together, and where
the stronger can rob the weaker of its
proportion of food. A feeble sheep or
; a weak pig will die of starvation in the
midst pf plenty, simply because it is
crowded away by others; and a sick cow
i or calf, turned loose in the yard with
others, is to frequently attacked by them
;ven as wild animals, when wounded,
are said to be by their mates.
Farmers as Csardeners.
The remark is often made, says Vick's
Magazine, that farmers are poor garden-
era, and it is too true in most cases.
. Farmers’ families, as a rule, are far more
poorly supplied with vegetables
than city residents. Not more than a
quarter of the farms in this region show
anything better in the way of garden
produce than a little sweet Corn
and some bush beans and a few tomato
plants, nnd possibly even these last are
wanting. The field crop is depended
upon lo supply the potatoes that are
wanted, and perhaps some turnips will
be raised in the fall some years ns a
second crop. What a miserable showing
is this for those who are situated so that
the choicest- vegetables of the garden, the
various kinds in their seasons, might ap
pear in abundance on their tnbles, pro
vided the necessary care nnd labor should
be given to produce them. But this
picture is not overdrawn; it is, unfor
tunately, too true, and it is not less true
that if we inquire about the family fruit
6upply for country tnbles we shall find
this quite as deficient, or even more so.
There is no necessity for this condition
of things, nnd it is opposed both to the
physical and financial interests of these
families. No part of the farm can make
greater returns for Hie labor and other
expenditures than the vegetable. If we
inquire into the cause of their neglect,
we shall find, in many cases, that their
. importance is measurably comprehended,
and Hie want of them is felt, but the
labor and attention they require are some
what different from that of the farm
crops, and, also, the garden interferes,
I to some extent, with the farm work,
; when it is not properly planned and
managed, as for the most part it might
be, so as to cause little or no inconven-
\ ience in the performance of the regular
| work. And for this purpose we would
i now ask our country and village readers,
who are directly interested, to give the
necessary thought for the preparation of
a good garden, at this season of eorajiar-
I ative rest. What shall the garden con
sist of? How and when shall it be pre
pared? Who shall have the direct super-
i vision of it? These and other questions
| can be considered and decided upon, and
when the time of action comes there need
be no delay.
lUialnc and Griulng Horses Hoofs.
The horse is one of the most superbly
perfect of Nature’s works, viewed physi-
| callyj and he occupies besides an exalted
] position among animals as to his intern
et moral qualities. It is, there-
inful to see how, under the
ntelligcnt (?) man, he is
en abused. He sub-
ie yoke uncomplain-
ly; he accepts the iron-plating of his
feet; and he allows the galling check
upon the movements of his head, and ye^
gives man his best service, even to the
death. The ignorant smith has his views
as to what should be the shape of his
feet. So he cuts and rasps, and forms
them to suit himself. He has an idea
that the hoof is made on purpose for
him to rasp and shoe, and exercise all
the tools of his trade upon. So ho makes
a shoe and fits the hoof to it; he removes
the natural polished exterior, which by its
tough elasticity defends the tender parts
from injury, is nearly impervious to wat
er, and permits a little evaporation of
internal moisture, by which it is kept
normally pliable and vitalized to the very
surface. He rounds and smooths off the
new surface; leaves it in a condition to
allow the moisture of the hoof to pass off
rapidly, and the hoof to dry and crack,
and thus ho recommends tho application
of tar and grease and lamp-black, ns if
he was trying to render an old boot pli
able and presentable. The greasing may
be well epough—better than nothing—
after the mischief is done. But why do
sensible horseowners allow the evil which
their preremptory orders, if not their
mere remonstrances, would prevent?—

Useful Iusects.
In an excellent article on insects, pub
lished in the proceeding! of the Fruit
. Growers’ Association of Ontario, tho
writer says that insectivorous birds are
useful helpers to the cultivator, although
not so important as insect friends. The
birds devour alike the useful and the in-
jurion«, the one as readily as the other,
rot being at all discriminating in this
very essential particular. He remarks:
“Buds appear to do comparatively little
to keep down injurious insects; the even
balance between the useful and the nox
ious species, when disturbed by the over
due accumulation of the latter, is set
right mainly through the agency of
friendly insects.” The following useful
insect's named: The sand beetles, of
which there are a number of species,
which are very active in their work.
The Carabidce, of which there are in
America, north of Mexico, over a thous
and named species. They are nearly all
insect eaters, some in the daytime, others
in the night. They often climb trees in
search of canker worms, tent caterpillars,
and other injurious species, and consume
them with great gusto. A third useful
family are the lady-bugs, nearly all of
which feed on insects, and are especially
fond of plant lice. Some are known to
devour the eggs of the Colorado potato
beetle. Among the four-winged flies we
have many useful and active friends, and
many of them lay up a store of insects as
food for their young. A very important
and useful family of insect killers arc the
Ichneumon flies, belonging to the same
order as the wasps, which are on the
wing all day, searching in every nook
and corner for caterpillars, into whose
body they deposit their eggs, and where
the future insects obtain their living.
Myriads of caterpillars, says the writer,
arc in tins manner yearly destroyed.
Immense numbers of cnterpillara are also
destroyed by the Tachina flies. The
Syrphus flics devour great numbera of
plant lice; and the well-known dragon
flies are great insect eaters, catching
their prey on the wing.
The birds, whose usefulness is so often
commended, make no distinction be
tween the above-mentioned insects and
those which are enemies to the cultivator,
but devour all alike.

Picnic Eggs —Beil eggs hard, as many
asdesired; remove the yolks carefully nnd
chop them with some cold boiled ham,
chicken, Veal or other tender meat, also
chopped, adding a few bread crumbs
and a little milk to moisten, and fill the
cavity, in the eggs with this mixture and
press together; roll iu eggs and crumbs,
place in a frying basket and plunge into
boiling fat for three minutes to brown.
Lyonnaise Potatoes.—Slice a pound of
•cold boiled potatoes. Put two tabic-
spoonfuls of butter into a saucepan with
a small onion, chopped fine. Set the pan
over the fire, and when the onion has
fried to a delicate brown, add the pota
toes, and turn and toss them until they
begin to color, then stir in a little minced
parsley, and serve immediately.
Green Tomato Pickle.—Slice one peck
of green tomatoes, six green peppers and
four onions. Strew a cup of salt over
the slices in layers and let them stand one
night. The next day turn the water off
and put them in a kettle with a cup of
grated horse radish, a tablesponful of
ground cloves and the same of allspice

Redemption of tho “American Desert.”
Mr. Nimmo said last year in his official
report upon the cattle industry: It ap
pears to be a well-established fact that in
the States of Kansas and Nebraska the
limits of the area sufficiently watered by
natural rainfall for agricultural purporses
has during the last twenty years moved
westward from 150 to 200 miles.”
Wichita is near the uinety-eighth meridan,
and Dodge City, for many years a center
of the cattle trade, is almost exactly
upon the 100th meridian. A settler in
Nebraska, living near the 98th meridian,
declares that land in the central part of
that State which now yields heavy crops
was regarded as a desert twelve years
ago. It was then difficult to raise hay
even on small patches of ground in the
valleys; but now, in the same region, the
farmers easily cut two tons from an acre.
Hills that were then almost covered with
barren sands, showing scarcely a blade
of grass, now support thousands of cat
tle. As late as 1878, it is said, no water
above ground could be found between
Beaver and Cedar Creeks, just west of
the 98th meridian. Now, it is reported,
that region and a stretch of country for
100 miles to the northwest are dotted
with shallow ponds, varying from an
acre to five acres in extent, around which
excellent grazing is found. A few years
ago settlers on the ninty-eighth meridian
in Nebraska supposed that they had
reached the western lmit of corn culture,
but siuce those days corn has been ship
ped from a region 100 miles westward.
These changes have been caused by an
increase of rainfall, and this increase ap
pears to have been caused by the cultiva
tion of the soil. The concurrent testi
mony of settlers, not only iu Kansas and
Nebarska, but also in more elevated re
gions in the far Northwest, seeems to
prove this.—New York Times.

this place, says a Morgantown (W. Va.)
letter, have been n source of wonder and
speculation for more than a century, and
have attracted much attention among the
learned men of this country and Europe.
The cliff upon which these drawings ex
ist is of considerable size and within a
short distance of the highway above men
tioned. The rock is a white sandstone
which wears little from exposure to the
weather, and upon its smooth surface are
delineated the outlines of at least fifty
species- of animals, birds, reptiles and
fish, embracing in the number panther,
deer, buffalo, otters, beavers, wildcats,
foxes, wolves, raccoons, opossums, bears,
elk, crows, eagles, turkeys, eels, various
sorts of fish large and small, snakes, etc.
In the midst of this silent menagerie of
specimens of the animal kingdom is the
full-length outline of a female form, beau
tiful and perfect in every respect. Inter
spersed among the drawings of animals,
&c., are imitations of the footprints of
each sort, the whole space occupied be
ing 150 feet long by 50 wide. To what
race the artist belonged, or what his pur
pose was in making these rude portraits!
must over remain a mystery, but tho
work was evidently done ages ago.
A Secure Retreat.
Country Editor—Well, they captured
the murderer at last.
Citizen—So I hear. When did they
find him?
Country Editor—Just leaving the back
door of old Buerag’s dry goods store. Ho
»nd Buerog are relatives. He has been
taking it easy there for three weeks.
Citizen—I wonder nobody saw him.
Country Editor—No danger of that.

Rochester, A*, f., Union and. Advertiser,
Fiiands ot Ex-Presi lent Arthur ate vary
much disquiete J*.
Of course lis is not going to die! He is id
the huhds of a very particular physician.
His doctor does not call it Bi igh.t’3 Disease!
No, it is stomjk’h dlhrddr thhi he is suffering
from hoVv, hnti every few hours he takes n
cOld, and from time to timo many other
symptoms are developed. These symptoms
tha public should know are really secondary
to Blight’s Disease.
His physicians say that everything that
medical skill can do for him is beiug done.
This is not so!
This ca*3 is A proiriiirent ono because the
Generhlis&ft ex*President:, ned yet there are
thdudands of farmers quietly dying, in their
farm houses, of secoudaiy smptoms of
Bright's Di e S3, called by every other con
ceivable name; thou: mils of workiren, dike-
wise dying, leaving helpless, families; hun
dreds of thousands in a’i‘ walks of life who
have sidkaned. and ace likewise dying, help
less victims of powerless physicians.
Eight years ago a very well known gentle
man was about to enter upon large commer
cial transactions. His medical ad viser quietly
dropped into liis offico cue dav and told hi*
conBdential clerk that he would Ikj dead iu
three mouths, and that he ought to settle up
his buxines affairs at cue. !
That man is alivo and well to-day, jret.hd
was given tin as incurable with the same dis
ease that is kilting Gcncfal Arthur!
Cur reporter met this gentleman yosterda/
and in conversation about thVJ General’s case,
he saidt...
*'I will give $5,00? to any charitable in
stitution in the Stst? of New York, to be
“designated by the edit r of tho New York
“ World, the editor of the Buffalo Ne'.cs, and
“W. E. Kisselburgb, of the Troy Times, if
“Warner s safe cure .'taken according to iny
“dirertiors) which cured me eight years ago,
“cannot cure General* Ches'er A. Arthur of
“Bright’s diseas *from which lici; suffering.
“Now I want Jon to understand,” 1\3 said,
“that we do not profbss tO nia' e new k dneys
“but we do knew from puvonal exp©rien~e
“and from the exforieneo of many thousand
“of similar cases, that we can utop the c.oni
“sumption of .tho kidneys. Many a man hai
“gone through life with one kid* oy without
“iuconvenien r o. Thousands of rcople have
“lived a majority of their life with cne lung.
“They did not Lave a new lung made. Wo
“do not make new kidneys, but if th? kidney
“is not consumed too much we can stop dis-
“easo and prolong life if takc-ii in timU.
This effeh comes fiom H. H. Warner,
proprietor of Warner’s safe cure, of this
city.
Mr. Warner also said: “My dear sir, there
“are governors, senators, presidential candi
dates, members of congress, prominent men
“drd women all over t;io country whom I
“personally know have been cured of disease,
“such as General Arthur fuffers from, by our
“Warner’s safe cure, but owing 11 the circles
“in which they move they do hot care to
“give rublic testimonial to the fact.*’
Mr. Warner is interested in (General Ar
thur’s ca'e because he is personally ac
quainted with lrm, and he says that it is a
fhame that any man should bo allowed to
die urder the cp. ration of old-fashioned
powerful catbariic3, which have no curative
effects, rather than that a modern, conceded
specific for kidney disease, whose worth is
a?l notvledged world-wide, should save him.
“If you doubt the efficacy o' Warner's safe
cure,” say tho proprietors, “ask your friends
and neiglil ors about i\ This is* asking but
little. They can tell you all. 3*ou want to
know.”
“We have kept a standing offer be "ore tlie
public for four years,” says Mr. Warner,
“that we will give $5,000 to any pei s m who
con successfully dispute tho genuineness, so
far as we know, of the testimonials we pub*
lish, and none have done it.”
Were General Arthur a ucor man, unable
to be left “in the hands of h s physician.” he
would us * that great remedy, as many thou
sands of others have done, and get well. How
ebsurd then for people to say that everything
that can be done is being done for the ex-
Prasident,*when the cne successful remedy in
the world that ha; cured a case like his, ha3
not been used by th.in.
“Close the door gently.
And bridle the breath?

I’m sick unto death. ”
“Take ‘Purgative Pellets,*
They’re pleasant and sure;

are both preventive and curative.
