THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY. AUGUST 23, 1887.
FAITH CURE FAIRLY BEATEN.
Chaplain Hall Writes the Follow
ing Remarkable Letter.
Rom the Albany, N. Y., Express.
For many years my wife had been the vic
tim of nervous dyspepsia, of the chronic,
distressing and apparently incurable type
from which so many of her sex suffer, lan
guish and die. It was all the worse because
the tendency to it was inherited. She had
been under the systematic treatment of
many of the best physicians in New York
and Brooklyn and elsewhere for twenty
years with only temporary relief. In fact,
there were few, if any, kinds of food that
did not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organs of disgestlon,
The usual symptoms of dyspepsia, with its
concomitant ailments, were all present-
had taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet
and hands, the sense of a load upon the
Stomach, tenderness on pressure, indiges
tion, giddiness, great weakness and pros
tration, and fugitive pains in the sides,
chest and back. I have often risen in the
night and administered stimulants merely
for the sake of the slight and transient re
lief they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in, com
plicating the case and making every symp
tom more pronounced and Intense. By this
time the pneumogastric nerves had become
Yery seriously Involved, and she had chronic
Gastritis, and also what I may be allowed
to calf chronic intermittent malarial fever
all at once. - For the latter the physicians
prescribed the good, old-fashioned, sheet-
anchor remedy, Quinine, gradually increas
ing the doses, until—incredible as it may
•eem—she actually took thirty grains a
SAY FOB HAYS IN SUCCESSION. This could
Sot last. The effect of the quinine was, if
possible, almost as bad as the twofold dis
ease which was wearing away her strength
and her life. Quinine poisoning was pain
fully evident, but the fever was there still.
Almost every day there came on the char
acteristic chill and racking headache, fol
lowed by the usual weakness and collapse.
Abont this time I met socially my friend
Mr. Norton, a member of the Him of Chaun-
cey Titus A Company, brokers, of Albany,
who, on hearing from me these facts, said:
“Why, I have been through almost the
same thing, and have got over it.” “What
cured you?” I asked eagerly. “Kasklnc,”
he said, “try it for your wife.” I had seen
Easkine advertised,.but had no more faith
In it than I had in sawdust, for such a caso
as hers. Mrs. Ball had no higher opinion,
yet on the strength of my friend’s recom
mendation I got a bottle and began Its use
as directed.
Now recall what I have already said as to
her then condition, and then read what fol
lows: Under the Easkine treatment all the
dyspeptic symptoms showed Instant im
provement, and the daily fever grew less
and soon ceased altogether. Side by side
these diseases vanished, as side by side they
had tortured their victim for ten years—the
dyspepsia alone having, as I have said, ex
isted for twenty years. Her appetite im
proved from week to week until she could
eat and digest the average food that any
well person takes, without any suffering or
Inconvenience. With renewed assimilation
Of food came, of course, a steady lncrcaso in
flesh, until she now looks like her original
*elf.
She still takes Easkine occasionally, but
with no real need of It, for she is well. I
consider this result a scientific miracle, and
the “New Quinine” is entitled to the credit
of it, for from the time she began with Eas
kine she used no other medicine whatever.
If you think a recital of these facts calcu_
laled to do good you are welcome to make
them public.

shot and shell, from Adjutant Green,of Texas,
through Captain King. The old flag was re

the care of Standard-Bearer Hill, of this coun

Franklin, Tenn. Adjutant Green reports that
at the surrender he wrapped it about his body
under his clothes, and thus secured Its preser

Wednesday abont 5 p.m., Athens was visited
by one of the most terriiio wind storms ever

Ho should know thatitheuse of such language
places him outside tho pale of respectablo con

I peas his vapid virulcnco by, and address myself
to the only part of his first card, which touches the
matter in dispute.
Ho quotes the Dobtor's card, and says:
“Suppose ttat what ho says abont his two of quo

were tho hcarors of .tho speaker’s address able to
discover tho .quotation? Remember Dr. Strong is

highly as one of tho calmest and most conservative
thinkers, why did Dj. HawtLoruo withhold his

Why docs ho make no farther reference to the

I advise him not to publish his prohibition phil

also advise him, should ho think

A strange case occurred in tow
Field Cola well, a well known colored man t
who has lived with Judge Hutchins for a num
ber of years, attended a meeting of the colored
people's church, and at the dose of the soimon
mourners were invited to the altar. Among
thoso who responded to the invitation was
Field. He approached tho altar and knelt
down with others. The nsual prayer was had.
and when the other mourners rose np, Field
continued kneeling. Some of the older mem
bers gathered around him to exhort,
when it was ascertained that ho had been
stricken with paralysis and was unable to move.
Ho was taken out of the house and laid in the
shado, and efforts wero mado to restore him to
consciousness, but without success. He was
then carried to John Drummond's and
a stupor all day. Dr. Mitclicil was call
but found that he could do nothing. He thinks
it was congestion of the brain and not paraly
sis. He lingered on without speaking until
lost night, when he died.

A Louisville dispatch gives news of what
ut for timely Intervention, might have been
_n accident similar to the terrible wreck at
Chats worth, 111., on Thursday morning, was
' night to the city Saturday morning by
mere. Amanda Barker, an aged nej
.polls rood, near Glen-
wood, Indiana, on her way to a farmhouse,
where ahe was to work during tbe day. fine
had just passed the small station at Glenwood,
a lonely, dismal spot between Indianapolis
and Connenviile, frequented only occasionally
by the fanners living around, when, on turn
ing a sharp curve iu the road, she was horri
fied to see some distance ahead the smoldering
remains of what I tad a short while before been
a stout, substantial bridge connecting embank
ments 000 feet apart and spanning a chasm
ninety-five feet deep. The bridge had evident
ly been burning during tho entire night, for
the superstructure was entirely eaten away by
tho fire, and only a few.weak timbers ana the
three stono piore were loft to toll tho tale.
The old negress oould not collect herself for
several moments, but it suddenly dawned upon
her that a train generally passed that point
some timo in tho early morning. She had no
Idea what time it was or when the train was
due, but she knew tliat it was a fast one and
never stopped at Glenwood. She turned her
:k\vard,
steps back
, intending to flag the train at
yards when she
whistle, as she thought, directly ahead of her.
It was the east-bound lightning express, duo
at Glenwood at forty-five minutes
past five o’cloek. She tried as hard as she
could to got around tho bond which obstructed
the train from view, all the time tearing and
tugging away at on old brown apron sho wore,
which sho wanted to use as a signal flag.
Stumbling and falling she was kept back con
siderably, but she finally broke the apron
strings, which never seemed so tightly tied
before, and almost dropping to the earth with
sheer exhaustion, she rounded tho bond and
saw tho train thundering down upon her, a
few hundred foet ahead, The burning bridi
was the same distance behind her, and si
knew that to let the train
pass meant certain death to many
of the souls on board. Raising the improvised
flag high above her head, she forgot her ex
haustion and waved it frantically, standing in
the conter of the track, where her
could not go unnoticed. For a while
to her that no one saw her, but the kept her
position, determined to stop the train or die
in the track. At last the engineer saw her
and reversed his engine, bringing it to a stand"
still a few yards in front of tho old woman.
Leaning out of the cab window, and think
ing the negress drunk or crazy, he called out,
“Well, well, what is it?”
“For God's sako, mister,” sho answered,
“don't go any further. The bridge ia burner 1
down, and it is right in front of you: indect l
it is.”
The train men had by this time been at
tracted by tho stoppage at this out-of-the-way
placo to the front of the train, and, from the
sincerity of tho old woman, bellevod hor story.
A number of them followed her around the
bend, and there verified tho truth of her state
ments.
All the passengers woro around the spot in
a short wliilo, and when they saw how narrow
eave. He was given to understand that his
appearance in tho city after 9 o'clock this
morning would be unfortunate for hhu. In
justification of the action of the committee, it
might be said that Garner has mado himself
vory officious iu the matter, and was very
anxious for Duke to be let off with an apology.

any money, and saiu ,uu iw uuwj m
touch anything, that money would only make
her feel bad again. Whon every one on the train
was congratulating thomsolves on their escape,
the old negress bocamo so happy that sho buret
into tears, and was so joyful for awhile that
sho hugged soveral of the ladies and gentle
men and danced an old-fashioned jig. No one
interfered with her in her hilarity, and
wlion one of the ladies noticed the apron she
still carried in her hand, and how it was torn
and ruined, she produced from her satehol in
the car a lawn wrapper and begged the old no-
gress, who was a model of neatness, to wear it.
She accepted the dress, and when tho passen
gers saw she would tako this kind of a gift,
garments of all kinds, sizes and shapes wero
showered upon her by the grateful passengers,
and she seemed more pleased than If sho had
been the first lady in the land.
After waiting for six hours a train met the
riayed one on the opposite side of tho track
and tho passengors were hurried on to thoir
destination. It is supposed that the bridge,
which was a heavy wooden one, and very dry
from the intense heat of tho weather, caught
flro from the sparks dropped by a freight en
gine the nightbefore tho accident was observ
ed. The damngo will amount to $15,000, it ia
thought, and falls upon the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton and Dayton road, which operates the Cin
cinnati, Hamilton and Indianapolis.
It is said that an effort will bo jnode to pre
sent old “Aunt Amanda” with something sub
stantial if tho names of all tho passengers con
bo secured.
