Cannot medical skill have some control
over the nearly always fatal disease of
dysentery ?
When children get sick with this dread
ful disease it is seldom that they get up
again.
We do not wish to alarm any one, nor
do we wish to complain of the skill of the
physicians, for in the one case, taking the
death records of the city into considera
tions, there are not as many deaths this
year as last, and in the other case we pre
-auuie that scores of children may have
been sick with this disease and getting
well again quickly, their cases did not
come under our observation.
But a great many bright little children
of the city have fallen a victim to its rav
ages, hence we ask, can not medical skill
arrest the progress of tins malady.
We hope that medical skill will be pointed
towards this disease successfully, and that
fewer homes will be left desolate by the
losses of loved little ones.
ECLECTIC NIBDICINE.
The great assemblage of eclectic physi
cians in Atlanta from all parts of the
country has awakened the interest of the
people, especially the entire medical pro
fession.
This method of practicing medicine
eclecticism, or, in other words, the reform
system of medicine—is fast taking ast rong
hold throughout the country. There are
but few people who understand this branch
of materia medica.
Since investigating their purposes more
closely we are confident that if the public
will only inquire into eclecticism they
will see the beauties of this profession of
medicine and the great injustice that is
being done them.
Eclecticism is claimed by eclectics to
embrace all that is valuable in materia
medica. and that they propose to do away
with that which is inert and administer
and apply those agents that are effective
’in direase, and thus carry out their motto
“viles vitales suetenetes.'’
This profession takes a great pride in
introducing and p’acing before the public
new remedies, and to them is due credit
the discovery of some of the best new
medicines of to-day.
They were said to have produced the
Gelsiminum, the Belladonna, the Cocaine
and many others of the best recent dis
coveries.
They claim, with some reason, that
their system of practice is the most suc-

cessful, since they have done away with
routine practice, and go altogether ac
cording to symptoms and pathilogical in
dications sttending ; diseases. They
give a medicine that is especially adapt
ed to, and will meet the different symp
toms. Whether their claim is just we
would not say.
Aimmg the first eclectic physicians are
John M. Scudder, A. M. M. D., I. J. M.
Goss, A. M. M. D., John Ling, M. I), and
Alexander Wilder, A. M. M. I)., and their
efforts for eclecticism have been untiring
and unlimited.
The Eclectic medical college of this city
(formerly of Macon) is a noble institution,
and is a great help to this system through
out the country, and their class increases
yearly. The prospect at present predicts
a great future" for this profession.
The body of men now in convention as
sembled in the city will do much for this
branch of medicine, and while we extend
to them a most cordial welcome to the
city we express with it the wish that they
may succeed by this convention in dis
seminating more liberally their principles
and thus become better known.

It is so painful that you cannot utter a cry, and
thousands of stars dance before your eyes. You

Indian Spring*.
Indian Springs is one of the most beautiful
spots in the country.
The Elder House is situated right on the rise
of the hill just away from the springs at a pleas
ant walking distance from it. The whole place
is covered with lovely, majestic old shade trees
that make everything cool and comfortable.
From the present outlook, the Elder House will
have a big run of trade for the summer, and
ought to have. You can get there the sweetest
fried chickens in the State, the freshest of veg
etables, and the many luxuries obtainable only
in a country place like the Spring.
Rising in the morning you stroll down to the
springs an 1 get a cool draught of the healthiest,
purest, most invigorating of waters, and when
you return to the house your appetite is keen
and sharp. After a hearty breakfast you stroll
out in some of the shady dells about the place,
or over on the square, or sit in some of the nu
merous settees under the trees and enjoy all
there is of life to enjoy.
Everybody who goes to the Elder speaks in
the highest terms of the treatment received,
and they could not do otherwise, for your every
want is supplied, and a good number of genial
companions are always sojourning there to make
the time pass more pleasantly.

And saw a dew-drop sparkling od a rose,
Then swiftly to its side it sped and close,
And whispered low, “ Dew-drop, let us be one! ”
As by some magic force a bird begun
To waken all the orchards from repose,
Trilling a song to that bright flame that glows
All hearts within, as rivers seaward run :
Then blushed the blooming flowers, and shyly glanced,
The air its golden wings with fragrance filled,
And warmer still, and brighter «hone the sun,
As o’er the sighing leave* it shimmering danced
And laughed. It found at last the dew sweet-willed.
And drew it gently up, and they were one.

B. H. RICHARDSON.
The daily newspapers of New Orleans
have abolished the custom of redeeming
unsold copies. The proprietors had their
suspicions aroused lately that they were
being systematically robbed. An investi
gation was instituted, and it was found
that a number of dealers had established
routes on which they rented papers at a
reduced price, instead of selling them.
They delivered the papers in the morning,
gathered them up in the evening and re
turned them to the office and had them
redeemed. It was also found that by a
trick in folding a number of papers in a
bundle they were counted two or more
times, so that a package supposed to con
tain a hundred really contained only sev
enty-five. The newsboys, it is stated, at
tempted to “boycott” the papers because
of their determination not to redeem pa
pers, but the movement failed.

Since the practical settlement of the
labor troubles a better tone and more
hopeful business feeling has been estab
lished throughout the country. There
has, however, been little increase in ac
tivity at the seaboard ports, while in the
interior some of the large business centers
have shown a slight improvement in the
movement, which is attributed to the ac
cumulation of supplies and orders, owing
to the recent interruptions in traffic. AU
the country is healthier and shows more
life, but no more briskness is observable
anywhere yet, probably owing to the lack
of speculative feeling aud close hand-to
hand policy, which the recent past has
rendered most people accustomed to, but
which will insure a strong and sound
foundation for the business expected this
fall.

Important Announcement to the
Public.
The “Baltimore Syndicate” takes this means
of informing the public that it has decided in
order to meet the wishes of a considerable num
ber of persons who have heretofore negotiated
with the company for the purchase of homes, to
modify the terms of payment so as to bring the
purchase of its elegant homes within the reach
of a larger number of the people than the terms
heretofore established permitted.
To this end it now announces that it will sell
any of its homes upon the cash payment of SSOO
and permit the balance of the purchase money
to be paid in monthly instalments.
THE BALTIMORE PLACE HOUSES.
These elegant residences need not be dp
scribed in detail. They are so generally well
known that to enter into a description of their
plan, with the innumerable comforts incident to
their construction, their healthfulness, compac
tion of arrangement, their high temperature in
winter and low temperature in summer; the
completeness of their sanitary arrangements
aud the dozen and one features which can
alone be appreciated by practical use, to
describe which in detail would
occupy more space than is necessary or the
limits of this communication will permit. It is
sufficient to say here that Nos. 9, 11, 13,15, 17
and 19 of the block are for sale. Either of
these can be purchased for $3,500 subject to a
ground seat of sllO redeemable at any time
within a 1000 years. The ground rent system
is universal in the North, is the secret of almost
every merchant and mechanic owning his
home, without which this ownership might be
impossible. We prefer to sell in fee. Every
purchaser thus far has purchased subject to a
ground rent. The fact that he can carry a re
deemable ground rent at so low a rate of inter
est as 5 per cent, which is all he pays, is the se
cret why every one thus far has purchased sub
ject to a ground rent. At all events the compa
ny will sell either in fee or otherwise just as the
purchaser may desire. Now a few words about
the business part of the transaction. The com
pany will sell any of the houses above mentioned
tor $3,500, subject to a ground rent of sllO per
annum. It will take SSOO cash, and will allow
the remaing $3,000 to be paid in monthly instal
ments of S4O, with six per cent interest on the
deferred payments, interest ceasing on each
payment as made. It will take, say, seventy
two months, or just six years to pay off the bal
ance of purchase money at S4O per month. Now
let us see what the total annual charges are:
Twelve monthly payments S4BO
One year’s ground rentllo
“ average interest 90
“ tax 72
“ insurance 5
Total lor one years7s7
It will be observed that every charge of every
kind is included in the above.
Now let us see for a moment what the actual
strain is on the purchaser, and that after all is
the true and proper test which one must apply
to himself in testing his or her ability to pur
chase. We have seen that the total annual
charges of every kind and character aggregate
per annum $757, or $63 per month. Now
the purchaser during the time that he is
making these payments and securing his invest
ment is at the same time securing its fruits, for
he is occupying the house and thus saving the
rent that he would otherwise pay. Now put
ting the rental value of these houses at $45 per
month (and they are generally conceded to be
worth SSO) he ought, injustice to bis purchase,
deduct the rental value from the total annual
charges, for until he owns his home, the rental
value should be deducted.
The calculation would accordingly stand
thus:
Total annual charges 757 00
■ Annual {rental value 540 00
Annual strain on purchaser . 217 00
It will thus be seen that the annual strain on
the resources of the purchaser are just $217
or SIB.OO per month. In other
words, the purchaser of one of these houses
as compared to a tenant paying $45 per month
rent is just SIB.OB per month more to
pay than the tenant, and in consideration of
said payment the purchaser gets back every
month S4O clean and clear as a credit on his bal
ance as purchase money.
lie pays SIB.OB a month more, and at the end of
six years has bis home, whereas the tenant, as
above illustrated, has just exactly seventy-two
rent receipts, and liable to be kicked out if he
should fail to pay the seventy-third. Let us
now go a step farther and
FIND OUT WHAT THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS
the purchaser.
His first payment wass 50#
Six years, $217 each 1,302
Total costsl,Bo2
These figures may seem remarkable and their
accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It
is sufficient to say in reply, that the company is
prepared to guarantee their correctness.
It will thus be seen, that the people of Atlan
ta have here presented an opportunity of which
it may truly be said is unprecedented in any
city in this country. There is no clap trap
about this announcement. The figures are
given and their accuracy guaranteed by a com
pany of responsibility.'
Bring your architect with you and let him aid
you in making an inspection of the property
and ask him for an honest dispassionate judg
ment. Ask him what it would cost you to du
plicate the house, in hard cash. And after you
nave asked him these questions and have re
ceived a satisfactory answer, then go and ask
snch well known and respected citizens
as Dr. Brockett, Colonel Goldsmith,
A. P. Tripod, Col. Avery, I. C Bandmann,
Capt. Rust, all of whom have lived in the res
pective houses which they have purchased,
from two to eleven months, and ask them and
their wives and their visiting relatives and
friends whether they are delighted with their
purchases. The writer is sure that there is not
one but what is charmed with his purchase.
Ask them what temperature they experienced
last summer, and they will be apt to tell
you that their homes were charmingly cool. Ask
them whether they suffered from the severe
cold of the past winter, and they will tell you
that, if anything, their houses were at times too
warm. In brief, ask them, if you choose,
whether you ought to buy or not, and act accord
ingly-
SPRING STREET OR “PARK PLACE” HOUSES.
There are six houses left for sale on Spring
street: No. 1 has been sold to Miss Hanna; No.
-6 to Wm. A. Wimbish; No. 7 to James A.
Gray; No. 13 to Mrs. Fannie McCandless. Nos.
3, 11, 15, 17 and 10 are still for sale. These
houses will be sold for $2,350, ground rent S9O,
redeemable at any time. SSOO cash, balance in
monthly payments of S3O. Total annual char
ges:
Twelve monthly paymentss36o 00
Ground rent 90 00
Average interest 55 50
Tax 33 75
Insurance 4 50
Total annual chargess43 75
Or about $45 per month.
No one who has seen these homes will hesitate
to admit that they are cheap at S3O per month
rent.
Assuming this to be true the actual cost of
the house would be as follows:
Total annual chargess 543.75
Annual rental value 360.00
Annual strain $ 183.75
As it will take a little less than 62 months to
pay off the balence of purchase money, the ac
count will stand like this:
Cash payments 500.00
$183.75 per year lor 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37
Total cost of house $1,449.37
These figures must be their own demonstra
tion. It would be downright supererogation to
attempt to give them additional force by fur
ther argument or illustration.
The man who can’t, after due reflection, un
derstand their force and potency ought not to
bother bis brain about buying a home, but
ought to continue as a tenant.
The company hopes, after having made these conces
sions, to be able to at once dispose of its remaining
houses. In two or three years they will doubtless be
worth half again as much. Every indication shows that
these houses are situated in the earning residence sec
tion of the city. No portion of the city has such a
beautiful prospect before it. Whether there be any ad
vance or not, there will surely be no retrogression. So
that a purchaser Dot only secures a home for his family
in away that can hardly strain his resources, but he
has in addition an incentive to save, coupled with the
fact that he is securing an investment which affords him

Inflammatory Rheumatism—State
ment of Rev. J. M. Lowry.
For over two vears I suffered intensely
with muscular rheumatism. I became al
most helpless, and had to be helped fre
quently out of bed. At times I was unable
to turn myself in bed, and had to be han
dled as tenderly as an infant. My body,
from my waist up, was involved, and
the pain was intolerable at times. All
the old and well-known remedies were ex
hausted, but no permanent relief was ob
tained. About a year ago I was in
duced by a friend to try Swift’s Specific.
The effect has been magical. My friends
scarcely recognize me. My rheumatism
is entirely gone, my general health is
superb, and I am weighing thirty pounds
more than when I commenced taking S.
S. S. lam able to attend to all my min
isterial work. lam devoutly grateful for
my restoration to health, which I owe,
under the blessing of God, to Swift’s Spe
cific. J. M. Lowry.
