From this extract it appears that the
[health of our illustrious ex-President has
[not improved. His condition is still as
pitiable a3 when I >r. Cooper felt constrain
ed to officially announce the effect of
Miles’ slow and diabolical torture upon
his victim. He may yet be the recipient
,of the much vaunted ‘eggs’ and ‘onions,’
but his diseased eye is still tortured by
jthe glare of Miles’ ‘Drummond light.’
(AH night long, it seems, he is still watch-
[cd by tramping sentinels. Beyond the
[relaxation of the atrocities enforced by
I he President, there have been none in
the case of ex-President Davis. It is well
that the world should know that the ru-
Imors of improvement of President Davis’
condition are absolute fables. It is but
right that Christendom should learn that
the work of slow torture is still going on
|as remorselessly as if the Holy Inquisi
tion was in full blast at Fortress Monroe.

The Mad Stone—Its Wonderful Pro
pensities.
One night the latter part of last week,
as I)r. W. L. Leyman, of this place, was
making a professional call at the house of
a Mr. Holmes, in Warren county, he was
attacked by two dog3 belonging to the
place, and while endeavor'ng to defeud
himself fell, when one of the dogs bit
him severely on the right arm. On the
doctor's arrival at home in his condition,
his family became uneasy, and thinking
perhaps the dog that bit him was rabid,
urged him to go to Terra Haute, and ap-
p}y the “ mad stone ” in the possession
of Mrs. Taylor of that place. The doc
tor had no fears whatever, and always
regarded this stone as a humbug, but fi
nally consented to go to satisfy his family.
On his arrival at Terra Haute he proceed
ed to the house of Mrs. Taylor, and had
the application of the same made. The
lady told him that if he was bitten by a
rabid animal, the stone would adhere in
thirty minutes. After three hours of
faithful application it failed to take hold,
and Mrs. Taylor announced, as the doctor
had thought from the first, and as all the
circumstances indicated, that he was not
bitten by a rabid uog. While there,
however, the doctor witnessed an opera
tion of the “ mad stone” and gleaned
such facts regarding it from reliable citi
zens of Terra Haute, as to dissipate the
skepticism which he confessed he had
always held regarding the efficacy of the
stone as an antidote for hydrophobia —
He met at Mrs. Taylor’s a man from Illi
nois, who bad been bitten by a mad calf,
and to whom the stone adhered for thir
teen hours, drawing from the wounded
part a greenish colored matter, which it
failed to extract from the doctor’s arm.—
When the stone became filled with this
fluid, it was soaked in warm water for a
time, when it would again adhere and
absorb with its original force.
Dr. Leyman also conversed with a gen
tleman in Indianapolis who had been bit
ten by an unmistakable rabid dog, and
used this stone with success. Mrs. Tay
lor, who is an old resident of Terra Haute,
and known by the citizens of that place
as a lady of worth and good standing,
states that the stone has been used in a
thousand cases, and has never failed.—
She further says it was once applied to a
man who had already gone mad from the
effects of a bite, and while the fit was on
ham. He was entirely cured.
Of the history of this stone we are not
fully informed. It has been in the Tay-
oy families for eighty years past, and the
accounts of its cures are familiar with
most of our readers. The stone is white,
smooth and hard, is about two or three
inches in length, half or three-quarters
of an inch in breadth, and oue-fourth of
an inch in thickness. It is porous, the
pores being star shaped, and running
across the stone in lines of perfect regu
larity. The operation with it is performed
by scarifying the flesh near the bite, and
laying the stone od. It never absorbs
matter from the wounded part unless the
bite is that of a rabid animal. In the
process of absorbtion the matter frequent
ly passes entirely through the stone.
We are indebted for these facts to Dr.
Leyman, who is well known as a good
physician of many years’ practice, and a
! gentleman of unquestionable veracity.—
The doctor very truly says that the stories
about this stone seem incredible, but facts
are stubborn things, and he is no longer
among the skeptics.

TT7 ILL perform all operations
\ V pertaining to his Profes-
sion, with neatness and dispatch.
He respectfully refers to the following tes
timonials :
Dr. J. W. Wiley.—The Full Set of Teeth
you made for my wife about 8 years ago, are
all that could be desired. They are pronoun
ced by all who have seen them as beautiful, and
as to their durability and usefulness, I would
state, they never have needed repair, and that
my wife's health has been transformed from
bad to good, owing no doubt to their perfect
adaptability to mastication. Wm. G. IIerri.no.
My wife had been afflicted with a nervous
head ache for more than a year, caused from
indigestion consequent upon the loss of teeth.
Dr. Wiley inserted a set of Artificial Teeth,
and it was but a few weeks when we discover
ed quite an improvement in her health. She
is now enjoying robust health, and I believe is
purely indebted to his skill in assisting nature
tn the discharge of a proper mastication.
J. H. Graham.
With pleasure we recommend Dr. Wiley as
a scientific Dentist. lie is not only entitled to
the patronage of the Southern people as being
a regular graduate in his profession, but, from
his devotion and self sacrifice to the cau3e of
our once happy South. Il we forego men! for
charlatanism from persona.! feelings, lei us con
sider the appreciation of those who gave their
support in our struggle for Southern indepen
dence. Every one admits that he makes bet
ter and prettier sets of Teeth than any one
else ; and those employing his services will
get valuci received for tl^eir money. We ten-
him this testimonial unsolicited.
