6 ITEMS IX THREE STATES. GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA PDT IN TYPE A Young Lady Becomes Agent of an Insurance Company at Columbus- Strange Bedfellows Found by a Resi dent of Surntor County After the Flood- Hearing Koavon’s Harps at a Grave. GEOnOIA. Tbomasville is to have an ioo factory. Macon lost over 1,500,000 brick by the re cent freshet. The farmers aiv having a hard time try ing to save their fodder. At last Rome is to experience the work ings of the Salvation Army. Will Hay, of Carrollton, during one day last week cleared his barn of 100 rats. It is estimated that the cotton crop has been cut off 25 per cent, in Lowndes county. A petition is being circulated in Carroll county to abolish the city court, and it is re ceiving a great many signatures. We learn that a l>oy named Baas Stamps had his leg broken lad Saturduy, while playing base ball near Mount Zion. One of Alapaha’s merchants favors the formation of a company for the purposo of starting a cotton factory in Alapaba. The damage to crops in Stewart county from the excessive rains of ten days ago were not so great as was anticipated. Southerland, the forger, who is in jail In Dawson, says he has been converted and is enjoying sweet communion with his God. At Rome Friday about 25 teams wore put to work on the dummy line, commencing at the Bones field, and will work toward the terminus. This work will bo pushed for ward rapidly. Last Monday the river had risen so high as to completely overflow Newton, Baker county, and the people were compelled to use boats to get about town. The water in the streets was from four to ten feet deep. Jonathan Copeland, living near Bowdon, has a cow three years old that has had three calves, and has given milk altogether in that time fourteen months. She had one calf before she was quite two years old, and a few days ago she liatl twins. Since the big rains began cotton has shedded distressingly in Wilcox county. The farmers say they will not make more than a half crop. If the rains cease wit h ■ just enough to keep the cotton growing, and it is a late fall, a good top crop can be made. The proposition to donate lots to people who will erect stores and dwellings on them at Alapaha has resulted in the promise of the following donations: Mr. Roberts, three lots; Mr. Baker, three lots; Mr. Dorininy, three lots; Mr. McMillan, three lots; Mr. Gaskins, three one-third acre lots in edge of pond. William Mote, who lives some three miles north of Carrollton, has sold this year be tween April 2 and August 6, or in five months, 288}* pounds of butter, besides having enough for home use. Mr. Mote milks from one to four cows. He is bring ing in now an average of twenty-two pounds a week. Alapaha Star: W. F. Paulk, of Irwin, who is one of your all-wool-and-a-yard ■wide men, says much fodder has been lost in his county by the “wet spell.” One man sold another, 100 bundles of damaged fodder for 50c. When the purchaser saw it, he wanted to rue back. It must have been pretty badly damaged. The injunction case of Mitchell versus the City Council of Americus, will be heard before Judge Clarke, in Atlanta, on Wed nesday next. The case grew out of a bill filed by Mr. Mitcholl against the Council to prevent their cutting his pond near the de pot, which has lieen declarod a nuisance by the Board of Health. It is stated by good authority that after the river had gone down so that Uncle Bob Tondee, of Sumter county, could look around his house, that he was astonished to find that he had been occupying quarters with an alligator, a turtle, and a room full of catfish. He is now living on turtle soup, catfish stew and alligator steak. Webster Bagley, of Sumter county, after cutting oats from a five-acre patch allowed the grass to come up on it without turning under the stubble. He moved the grass this week and got ten tons of fine crowfoot hay, worth $1 jier hundred pounds. He will got half as much when he mows the patch next time, and that will be three crops a year. About two weeks ago Jimmy Sutton, of Alapaha, while driving a hog out of a neighbor's field, tried to fall on it ami catch it. In doing so, his left hand struck the ground with such force as to dislocate the middle finger itnd break several hones between the wrist and the fingers. The hand is doing as well as could be expected. The recent freshet which caused the river to overflow its banks and cover the land for almost a quarter of a mile on either side of the stream, has left a ooating of mud and soured vegetable matter on the surface that has become quite offonsive, and Ims given rise to considerable apprehension with refer ence to its effocts upon the health of Albany. A negro boy swapjied for an old horse at Jefferson court, that was at one time con sidered the finest horse in Athens, and would easily sell for $250. The bov took the horse to Athens and sold him to Mr. Burpee for f2, ami while he was paying the money, the home got down and Burpee would only pay ♦1 for him The hoi-se died and the pur chaser will have to pay $2 to got him car ried off. Miss May Iverson has succeeded her father, the late Col. J. F. Iverson, as agent at Columbus of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Conqinny. We liesneak for Miss Iverson a liberal patronage on her own account as well as for the great induce ments offered by her company. Miss Iver son is perhaps the only young lady agent of a life insurance association in the United States. Alapaha Star: Not being satisfied with the first test, Jimmy Sutton, on Friday morning of last week', just after the rain, tied strings near ten cotton blooms that hud opened that morning. Monday following he found the strings but all the bloom* had shed. This seems to confirm the belief en tertained by some farmers that if rain falls on cotton blooms the morning they open they will shed. Griffin Sit it: Maj. Collins is n great Biblical student. Friday while reading one of the books of the New Testament,lie came across the following marginal hue: “Miss is the prettiest girl in tlio State of Georgia.” Major at once accused another young attorney of lieing the author which lie acknowledged, but as a defense stubs 1 that it was written five yean* ago when he was very much smitten with the young lady. Our colt reporter will boar testimo ny as to the truthfulness of this The road hands were working the road near Mr. Gann’s house, lieyoiid l’rinceton factory, on Thursday, and to make the work lighter they sent to the barroom and bought a gallon of whisky. The whisky svus kept in a water bucket and each one of the hands had free access to it. After finish ing their work they became very noisv, and soon a general fight ensued, in which all parties took a hand, and a young white man named Cbaneey was knocked in the head with a rock by George Lee (colored). After this William Gann and Joe Epps had some words, and Epps drew a knife on Gann. Capt. Boyd, of Leary, tells of a fi-euk of lightning which occurred on hin Holt place last Thursday night about 8 o’clock. Tile bolt struck a frame cabin occupied by u negro man and wife and their three chil dren. The husband and wife at the time were eating their supper, but the children had gone to sleep on a oeil in the rear end of tile room. Tlie lightning tore out the en tire back end of the house and shockisi tile inmates to unconsciousness. The niuu came to in about three hours and got up and went to a neighbor's to tell them that he thought hi* Louse hod been struck. ’iky Uuiimui i of the family recovered in a short time afterward, none having been any worse hurt than the man. M. R. Lindsey, of Berrien countv, had j bis new store liouse burned last Friday. | He had just finished it, but had not, moved his goods in, when somehow the fleas got ; possession of the under cover beneath the floor, and Mr. Dindsey devised a very effec tive, but as it proved, very expensive way of exterminating them. He scattered shav ings all under the house and set them on fire. The result was the blocks and sills caught on fire, and while he was whipping it out on one side the flames were spreading on the other, and it was not long before the destructive element got the advantage and he had to staud off and see the new house So up in smoke. His tools were all in the ouse and he did not even save them. Tom Davis, alias Tom Johnson, is now behind the bars of the Franklin jail. He lias been identified as the wife murderer, who created such a sensation among the ne groes near Daniel’s mill, in Heard county, in the year 1875. He carried his wife from home uiuler the pretense of going to see rel atives. The woman did not return, and the lieople growing suspicious of foul play, in stituted search and found her decomposed body in a gully near Nbw river. Tom bad fled. Nothing could lie learned of his whereabouts until a short while since, when it was learned that he was living on the Plant place in Coweta under an asssumed name. Sheriff Lipscomb, arrested him Wednesday, and he will now atone for ttio crime of twelve years ago. At Plain ville Friday two train hands made a miraculous escape from death. They were on a north-bound freight train, which was going at a rapid rate. One of them, a brakeman, was standing on a car near the engine, with his face toward the cab, when the back of his nock struck a telegraph wire. The jar was so violent that he was pitched headlong for several feet, but, fortunately ho, caught onto the car as ho fell and saved himself t orn falling under the wheels. The wire broke and with it come one of the cross pieces on the pile. These caught around the legs of the other brakeman, and it looked for awhile as if he was sure to be pulled off and dashed to the ground. Ho had from the place where he was caught to the length of the wire from the next pole to extricate himself, and just ns the time came the wire and cross-piece were loosened. Judge William O. Pierce died at his home near Morgan, on August 1, in the 84th year of his age. Judge Pierce was one of the oldest nnd original settlers of that sec tion, moving and settling there in 1834, licfore the Indians left the country. He was one of the soldiers actually engaged in the battle of the Nochaway, near Milford, in Baker county in 183*1. Ho was born in Wilkerson county, and married after he settled in that section. For over forty years he was postmaster at Concord and Morgan, resigning that p>si tion in 1874, when ho was elected to the Legislature from Calhoun county. He filled the office of Clerk of the Superior Court for quite a number of years, and in 1876 retired to private life, living since -then on his farm near Morgan until tlie day of his death. Judge Pierce was always a moral man, anil was for a longtime before lie died a member of the Methodist church, and lie ever tried to exert an influence for good in the community in which be lived. A most remarkable story that is well authenticated, comes from Hanks county concerning the burial of the late Dr. A. D. Chinault. He died on June IS, of fever, and was buried June 20, at Winn’s burying ground, near Lula. After the grave had been prepared, the corpse carried to it and all the funeral rites performed the coffin was lowered in the vault, the grave was just begun to lie filled, a strange noise was heard that sounded like music from a harp. The crowd was considerably agitated, and a general commotion followed. No one knew what or where it was. To some it appeared to be in the grave, and to others in the trees. There is no doubt nbout there being a strange noise being heard, one that will, in all probability never be ex plainod this side of eternity. Rev. G. H. Cartledge, who was conducting the funeral rites, says ho did not hear tho noise, as he is a little deaf, but noticed the congregation was excited, and that there wiu something unusual operating upon the audience. Just what caused the noise, or what it was, it is highly probable will never be explained. Hartwell Sun: Mr. Lewis Shiflet met with a very narrow escape from death on Monday evening about dark, lie and fami ly were sitting around the fireplace. He got his powder born and flint and steel to strike a lire. He poured a little powder on a bunch of cotton and ignited it with the flint and steel. The cotton was probably a little damp and didn’t burn quite as fast as Mr. Shiflet desired, so lie raised his horn and legal) pouring powdoron the lazy fire. The consequence was precisely what might have been expected—the fire flashed up the stream of powder Into -the horn, exploding it with a deafen ing report that could be beard for a mile or more. The family were blown to the floor in a pile. Mr. Shiflet was badly- burned on left inn and slightly on the face. Mrs. Shiflet was struck on the shoulder and badly burned and bad a thumb knocked out of joint. The children received slight injuries, but fortunately none of the family were dangerously hurt. It. made all of them sick for awhile. Mr. Shiflet says he has done this trick hundreds of times, tint stands ready to take a pledge to do it never again. In this connection we would suggest that matches are cheajier than powder and ure mighty handy to nave about tho house. FLORIDA. Orange groves around Orange City never looked better. During the past week nineteen vessels en tered at Fernandina. Ormond is to have a railroad bridge across the river to the beach. Every room in the vast hotel at Trabue is engaged for the winter. The prospects are good for a fine opening of the al. E. College at Orange City. The Clerk and Sheriff of DeSoto county have at last had their bonds approved. The tobacco crop in Gndsdeu county is nearly all housed, and, us a general thing, is very fine. Orange < ’ity merchant* seem to lie doing on average summer business, and are not complaining. Mr. Hons Harris, of Quincy, a few days ago picked a LeCoute pear that measured inches. There is a general improvement in crop prospect* throughout Columbia county over the first outlook. At Palatini the business outlook is bright ening, and already there is a fierceptible in crease in cash sail*. A negro was jailed at Ornngo City last Sunday charged with throwing rocks'into u passing railway car. Col. J. E. Glenn was ap|x>intd Super visor of Registration for DeSoto county, but declined to accept the office. County Commissioner Rice is moving in the matter of an artesian well in Quincy, and the project is likely to succeed. A Missionary Baptist church is to lie erected near the Ht. Mary’s river, in Brandy Brunch precinct, of Nassau comity. The Tampa Journal says that contract* are lieing mude for the building up of a large portion of tho burned district of that city. 8. C. Boyloston, tho lately ap|iointod General Freight and Passenger Agent of the Florida Southern railway, has arrived in Palatka. It is reported tlint Judge Zibe King hn sold a two-thirds Interest 111 his stock of cat tle to the Florida Southern Railroad for $185,000. The negroes of Orange City are making up a slate among themselves and will enter the mimici|ial fight with tlie intention of electing tl at ticket. The orange crop in DeKoto county this year will not he ns large oh usual, but the fruit is la.-ge, healthy uiid apparently will he of uxceUout uuuiilv. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. AUGUST 15, 1837. Many of the orange growers nliout Enter prise are nlanting the castor bean, both for fertilizing and for tlie crop. They are worth $1.75 per bushel. All business in the Circuit Court in Do Soto is necessarily suspended until officers — Clerk and Sheriff receive thoir commissions which will not be long now. The Apalachicola river has gone dowu a few feet, and all dnnger to tlie railroad bridge near Quincy has passed. Trains are now crossing on regular schedules. J. M. Rourland contemplates resigning tho position of postmaster at I’ine Level. There is a petition in circulation requesting the appointment of Mrs. Jennie L. Hunter. The jail and court bouse at Pine Level be long to Manatee county and tlie officers of DeSoto county, in which Pine Level is now located, have no authority to put a prisoner in the jaii without consent from Manatee county. The Chattahoochee, Fla., correspondent of the News under date of Aug. 13, writes as follows: The continued rains last week, followed by hot weather, has ruined cotton. All the river bottom corn crops are de stroyed. While our highly esteemed citi zen, Mr. E. H. Pyles, was looking over his mined corn last week he came to a small island or knoll, ami getting out of his bateau and strolling across the small spice with the intention of killing some rabbits, which are plentiful on the knolls in the river bottom, lie heard a hissing sound near tiy. On looking around he discovered a large rattlesnake striking and biting at his dog. He says he got a pole and struck at the large snake, -but the pile broke. An other snake on bis right began hissing. lie says that before lie left the knoll he killed 13 large rattlers, 45 rabbits, 15 opossums amt 1 big coons. Mr. H. H. H]nar left for Atlanta to-dav. Ho is a delegate to tho In ternational Farmers’ convention in that city. His family accompanied him. The merchants here are doing nothing. I luring the present rise in the Escambia river the ikxxled conditions of tho swamps are taken advantage of to get out cypress timber, the men repairing to tho work in boats, in which they s-tuud while wielding tho nx. Thursday George Beckham, a young colored man, was thus employed near Quin tette, at which place he lived. He had made a cut, and was presumably preparing to place himself out of tho way when the tree fell, crushing him and the boat. Several companions of his heard the timber fall, and, not hearing any more cutting shortly thereafter, went to the spot, where they saw the bow of the boat sticking up out of the water and the tree lying across it. They thought Beckham had gone home, and they set about extricating the boat. After a tug or two the head of the unfortunate man came to tho surface, and thoy realized the situation, leaving tlie lx>dy where it was they went as fast as they could to Quintette, where they informed S. 8. Harvey of the occurrence. The gentleman directed them to go back and get the body, which they did, and a Justice of the Peace at Molina was sent for. AVhen the latter arrived an inquest was held, tlie jury returning a ver dict in accordance with tho facts here stated. Beckman is said to have been an intelligent man and a good citizen. SOUTH CAROLINA. Taylor Belton, a colored citizen of Cam den, has raised and marketed over 1,000 watermelons this season. The Kingstree Record says there is not a case of typhoid fever in the town, and that there hqs only been one case this year. Thomas Davis, an elderly white man, was killed at J. D. Leonard’s saw mill in Austin township Thursday. A scantling was caught in the wheel and in its revolution struck Davis on the head and killod him. At Newberry warrants have been issued for the arrest of two young white men for disturbing a religious congregation last Sunday at Union Church. They were pro fanely boisterous and had pulled off, or were preparing to pull off their coats, in order to have a fisticuff in the churchyard. l-iist month William Thomas was brought before Trial Justice Sit ton at Due West charged with stealing watermelons. He plead guilty and consented to take a whipping instead of the punishment pre scribed by law. It is said that Trial Justice Sitton consented to this, saying that the whippers must not cut the blood out. Five persons escaped from the Chesterfield jail last week—three white and two colored. <>n Monday evening Messrs. Ruker and Sweatt went back and delivered themselves up to the Shei i ff, saying that they were afraid they would be captured and the Sheriff would lose tho reward he hail offered for them. They brought the Sheriff a liaskot of grajies. At Newberry thieves entered George W. Pearson's residence ono night, last week ami made quite a raid. They got into the dining room by raising a sash from the outside. They took nearly all of Mrs. Pearson’s jollies amt preserves that she hail put up for winter use, nearly all the dishes, tho silver spoons and the silver-plated knives and forks— amounting in value to about $35. At Sumter “Dr.” R. D. Reed, who was placed in jail a few days ago to await trial on the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, created some thing of a sensation at tlie jail tin Saturday by feigning insanity and attempting suicide. He beat his bead violently against the stone walls of his cell, but soon gave up commit ting suicide in this way, as his skull was thicker than the wall. Wilkes A. Jones, a young man of Hern don, who is at present attending a business c ollege in Augusta, received a letter Friday from a New York lawyer stating that his uncle hiul died in that place and left him $500,000. It seems that he dul not know tlie whereabout* of his uncle and had never seen him. Ho was, of course, very much sur prised at the contents of the letter, but is now protiably the richest man of ins age in the State. At Greenville Thursday night, a negro entered the residence of Mrs. Springs, a widow in the West End. Going into the room whore her young daughter was sleeping, ho blew out tho light which wns burning at the time and approached the lied. Screams from the terrified girl, thus awakened, frightened the villain and ho jumped out of the window through which lie came. Tlio alarm was not raised in time and lie escAiied. A dock sitting on tho mantelpiece in one of tho rooms of L. B McFaddeu’s residence at Rook Hill was shattered by lightning during the storm of Saturday last. The door lending into the room wns slightly open, leaving a draught, ami tlo> entrance of the electric fluid was through theojicu- j iug. The clock was torn to pieces nnd sev-! oral picture frames were also splintered, hut nothing else was hurt. No trace wa, left of the maimer in which the lightning left tho room. Rood Glover (colored), who lived in the Black Creek section, near Hampton, was cutting timber on Briar branch, n tributary of Black creek, and was alone. As ho did not put, in an appearance at the usual hour a searched revealed his dead body under u towering pine tree, which he had com menced to cut, and from which a dry limb had fallen on his bend nnd instantly till ed him. It, is a most remarkable fact tliat Ins skull was not crushed, but the blood gushed from liis noso and mouth, showing how severe tho concussion must have Inicii. Tho new iron bridge across .Seneca rive", which has just been completed at a cost of 87,000 to the county, was washed away on Tuesday night by high water. It was car ried nuout 400 yards down the river and buried in sand and mud. Before the county received the bridge they thought it, last to have it examined by an expert engineer, so that last Wednesday they employed one who went out and examined tho bridge. He pronounced it substantial and built accord ing to contract. The commissioners receiv ed it and it is understood tliey have paid for it, so it is a total loss to the county. There was a very hard rain at Newberry last Sunday morning, and the lightnlug and j thunder were very heavy. Lightning struck I In several places, but the damage was slight. 1). W. T. Kfiller's stable whs struck about j the cuutro ol tho roof aadaliivorW some o< I the timbers of tho roof and building, but with very slight damage. A negro house on College Hill, In which William Robert son lives, was struck about the chimney. Tho mantelpiece was shivered and some things on it injured, but his wife and auoth er person, who were in the rear of tho build ing, were uninjured. A pine tree on J. C. Wilson’s place wns also struck. It may have struck in other places also. For some time past the family of W. D. Newell, who lives about three miles from iAunar, have been unaccountably nnd seri ously sick. Thinking, at last, that the water they were drinking might be the cause of the trouble, Mr. Newell had his well cleaned out, when there was brought to the surface a package carefully tied up and containing certain substances which a physician pronounced as poisonous. Mr. Newell thinks there is ml doubt that this package was placed in his well by some malicious person with a view to exterminat ing tho whole family, but who it was that committed such a diabolical net has not, yet been discovered. Since tho removal of the package tlie whole family have recovered, and Mr. Nowell has taken steps to prevent a recurrence of this dastardly outrage by placing bis well under lock and key. A sensation was created Monday nftor noon by a family of five lieing nearly drowned trying to cross the crook in Fort Pickens. Moses Bell,f a colored man, was returning from Hodges to his home in Lowndesville, nnd although the water was so wide, he thought it best to cross and get to town before it rained harder. When he reached the middle of the stream the cur rent was too swift for the mules and tlio wagon was turned clear around. Mose cut the harness and then tried to swim out with his little girl, but both went under several times. Tlio child caught on a limb nnd bold on until assistance came. The father after being carried almost to the culvert in f lic railroad track, caught to a tree and pulled himself to higher land, but even then ho was in water up to his neck. By this time a large crowd of people hail collected on tlio track, consisting of negroes, but no one seemed willing to venture in. J. S. Ham mond and J. C. Douglass, rescued tho sink ing parties by swimming in for them, and deserve a great deal of credit. If they had not, been there the poor people would have drowned. The prospects of the rice crop in other places in South Carolina arc in vivid and encouraging contrast with the doomed Sa vannah river crop. A representative of tho firm of Messrs. William C. Bee & Cos., fur nished a number of reports from most of the planting sections of the State. On Coinba hee river the crop is considered good. There has been some trouble on account of the salt water overflow, but the harvest fresh water is now on the crop and no ill results ayp anticipated. On tlie river it is estima ted that the crop will be a little short. On the Santee river the crops are reported very good. It is just possible that the freshets from tlie up-coun try may do some injury yet, but there are favorable chances of escape. From George town the accounts are encouraging. On Rantowle’s creek the crops have suffered se verely for want of water, which has been caused by Can- Caw swamp, the great water reservoir for this section, being dry during tlie greater part of the season. Tlio rice traile of Charleston will, therefore, be ef fected only to the extent of half the losses on the Savannah river, as the other half usually gc >es to the Savannah market. Roek Hill Herald: The baby exhibition, which had been looked forward to with great deal of expectancy by many of the mothers of tho community, was held on Tuesday af ternoon and was the event of the season. The show was well patronized by tlie babies of the town and vicinity, and every little heart seemed to enjoy tho novel sport. Each child was labelled and the voting was by number instead of name. The competition was spirited at times and the result was the gathering in of a considerable amount of cash. In tlie infant’s department little Lillian, the 8-months-nld daughter of Mr. Thomas Flowers, received the greatest number of votes, and was awarded the prize, and in tho department for children above 1 and under 5 years, Mamie, daughter of Mr. J. F. Reid, received more votes than either of her competitors and was awarded the prize. The show was well attended and was highly enjoyed. It did not break up in a free tight between the mothers, as was confidently expected, but was just as nice and orderly as could lie de sired. It is true that each mother thought her own bright, particular “dumplin doo dle” was the “cutest” and far outshone all the others and of course would carry off the prize, but they yielded to the verdict against them with surprising equanimity, which showed tho heroism or the mothers of our children under such trying circum stances. God bless tho mothers! “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules tho world” —and empties the pocket book. Now You See it and Now You Don’t. From the Chicago Tribune. In an Illinois city within fifty miles from , Chicago there is a hotel where the service at table is notoriously bad. It can bo im proved by the use of tips to waiters, and guests of the house know it. A drummer was telling the other night how ho got a sat isfactory dinner at the hotel. There is some thing familiar about the story, but it is good enough to tell. The drummer sat down at the table and managed to got a wai ter. “Pete,’' said be, taking a big silver dollar from his pocket, and putting it under a goblet turned upside down, “do you see that I" “Yes, sah,” said Pete, affably. “I sees it.” “Well, now, you hurry around and get me just as good a dinner as you know how and don’t keep me waiting.” Better service than the drummer had could not be desired. The meat was just what he asked for, the vegetables fresh and daintily set before him, the courses followed each ot her in rapid succession, and when the guest had finished he was satisfied. “Pete.” he said again, as lie laid his nap kin beside his plate, “do you seo that dol lar.”’ “Yes, sail,” said Pete with expectation in his eves. “Well. Pete,” remarked the drummer as lie removed the goblet, “take a good look at it, for you’ll never see it again.” Then the drummer put the coin into his pocket and strolled out of the room, while Pete kicked his chair so far under the table it look a requisition on the Uovernor of the adjoining Biate to g >t it hack. Eves the wickedest of us always admonish a parting friend to “do write. "—Duluth Fara yrapher. MEDICAI,. DYSPEPSIA. THE SYMPTOMS: Heartburn, Distention of the Stomach, Hcaitiiche.
