A FATAL MISTAKE.
Tin? Cleveland (Oliio)YYe^,
I February 23d, 1883, pub-
islied an account of a fatal
urgical operation which caused
.rreat commotion among med-
cal men throughout the whole
ountry, Dr. Tlmyer, the most
•minent surgeon in Cleveland,
enouncing it scandalous. It
ippears that a Mrs. King had
3 een suffering for many years
‘roni some disease of the stom-
ic t ) which had resistiid the
jeatment of all the physicians
n attendance. The disease
lommenccd with a slight (lo
•angement of the digestion,
a poor appetite, followed
jjy ;v peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint “all gone” sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticlcy—
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lan-
md feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the patient’s
life an operation was justifi
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, l.x.s.\ ( he opera
tion was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of I)r.
Tuckermun, I)r. Perrier, .Dr.
Arm?, Dr. Gordon, I n\ Capner,
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin
ation of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to he found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
m a few hours. > How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
uever to have been performed.

That tlie present year may equal
tho past in the good accomplished,
should be the prayer of all.
O the shaking of the ague!
O the tortures of Neuralgia I
O the misery of dyspepsia!
O the wretchedness or headache!
O the gripes of bilious colic I
All of these will surely vanish
Like tho snow before the Soutbwind,
If you’ll only take Smith’s Bile Beanr
You can buy them at your drug store
For a quarter of a dollar;
And if you will only try them
You will never be without them.

A CHILD’S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered With Ecze
matous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.
M V little son, aged eight years, has been
ulllicted with Eczema of the sculp, nml lit
times a great portion of the body, over since he
wns two years old. It begun iu Ills ears, and ex
tended to his sculp, which became covered with
stubs and sores, and from which a sticky fluid
pouted out, causing intense Itching and distress,
and leaving his hair matted anti lifeless. Un
derneath those scabs the skin was raw, like a
piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came
out and was destroyed, tiutll lint a small patch
was lett at the back of the head, illy friends In
Peabody know how my little boy has suifcred.
At night he would scratch his head until his
pillow was covered with blood. 1 used to tie his
hands behind hint, and in many ways tried to
prevent his scratching: but it was no use, he
would scratch. 1 took him to the hospital anti
to the best physicians in Peabody without Hue-
cess. About this time, some friends, who had
been cured by the CimcUKA Hbmbdiks, prevailed
upon me to try them. 1 began to use them ou
the lfitli of January last, lu seven months every
particle of the disease was removed. Not a spot
or scab remains on Ills scalp to tell the story of
Ids sullcrlng. His hair has returned, and Is
thick and strong, and h s scalp us sweet and
clean os any child's in the world. I cannot say
enough to express my gratitude for this wonder
ful cure by the Cl'Tlci'BA Uemediks, and wish all
similarly afflicted to know that my statement Is
true and without exaggeration.

How to Eat Wisely.
Hall’s Journal of Health.
As a universal rule in health, and
with few exceptions in diseases, that
is best to lie eaten which tho appetite
craves or the taste relishes. Persons
rarely err In tho quality of food eat
en; nature's instincts are the wisest re
gulations in this respect. Tho great
sources of mischief from eating are
three—quanity, frequency, rapidity,
and from these come the horrible dis-
pepsias which make 11 human life a
burden, a torture, a living death.—
By eating fast, the stomach, like a
bottle being filled through a funnel,
is full, and overflowing before we
know it. But the most important,
reason is the food is swallowed
before time has beeu allowed to
divide it in sufUcfertt small pieces
with tho teeth; for, like ice in ft tum
bler of water, the smaller the bits
are the sooner are they dissolved. It
has been seen with the naked eye
that if solid food is cut up in pieces
small as a half pea, it digests almost
as soon, without being chewed at nil,
ns if it had been well masticated.—
The best plan, therefore, Is for all per
sons to thus cohiminuto their food;
for, even if it is well chewed, the com
minution is no injury, while It is of
very great importance in ease of hur
ry, forgetfulness or bad teeth. Oher-
ful conversation prevents rapid eat-
ng. It requires about five hours for
a common meal to dissolve and pass
out of the stomach, during which time
this organ is incessantly at work,
when it must have repose, as any oth
er muscle or set of muscles, after such
a length of effort. Hence persons
should not eat within less than a five-
hour interval.
Cooked and Raw Corn for Figs.
New York World.
The value of cooked corn as com
pared with oorn In the raw state lias
been the subject of experiment by
Prof. Shelton, of tho Kansas State
Agricultural College. In a report is
sued tlie figures show as conclusively
uh figures can show anything that
the cooked corn is less useful than the
raw grain, the difference in favor of
uncooked corn taking the Item of
pounds of feed required to make one
pound of increase amounting to ex
actly one-fifth. That this result is
not an accident Prof. Shelton thinks
is abundantly proven by other items
of the summary.
The daily consumption of each pig
using cooked feed was almost exactly
the same astlie amount of raw corn
used in the pens where raw corn was
the exclusive food, but tlie average
daily gain—and of course the total
gain and the gain per hundred weight
of pig were in the series using the
cooked feed greatly less than with
tho pigs using the raw corn. “Such
an entire unanimity of results can only
be explained,” says Prof. Shelton,
“upon the theory that the cooking
was an injurious process so far aH its
use for fattening animal - is concerned.
With younger animal-, whose gain
would be made chiefly in growth, the
cooked feed might giv.i different re
sults from the foregoing; but a consid
erable general experience does not
encourage this belief.”
Nothing has been said about the
cost of cooking—always a considera
ble item, both in respect to labor and
cost of fuel.
Tlie Apollo of Congress.
From a Washington Special.
Iliseook is the handsomest man in
congres-, and will make an ornamental
figure on the floor of (Senate. He
could sit as a model of Jove, and the
ladies like to look at hiiu from thegal-
eries. The first question asked by a
lady visitor to the House of Represen
tatives is: “Where is Mr. HisoockY”
and lie is usually in sight, in one of hit
statuesque poses. When the Congress
sional Apollo is pointed out the lady
visitor always exclaims: “Isn’t he
splendid?” Hiscock Is as lazy as he is
beautiful. He is languid, always tir
ed. He yawns too much, and It takes
too much steam to get him in motion.
When lie gets interested in debate or
I in a measure he has tremendous power,
and lias made some of theablest speech-
esone can find in the Congressional Re-
1 cord, but the trouble is that herequir-
es a month’s rest after every honr’sex-
ertion.

ATIACKINGTHE ARABS.
ITALIAN AND ABYSSINIAN TROOPS RE
PULSED WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER-
EXCITEMENT IN ROME OVER THE
NEWS.
Rome, February 1.—Premier De-
prettis informed the Italian chamber
of deputies today that there had re
cently been severe fighting in that
part of the Soudan whose occupation
was being attempted by Italy. He
said this fighting had resulted in an
almost complete disaster to the Ital
ian forces, engaged in conjunction
with Abyssinian troops in the work
of attempting to relieve Kassala,
which lias been beseiged by hostile
Arabs ever since the beginning of tlie
Soudan war, by the late El Mahdi.
Going linto details, the premier said
that the general commanding the
Abyssinian troops, accompanied by a
small number of Italian soldiers, at
tacked Sooti on January 25th last. A
hotly fought battle ensued. It lasted
three hours, and the army of Rnssa-
loula was repulsed. The Italian loss
was terrible, and that of tlie Ahyssin-
ians was unknown. The next day
three companies of Italian troops left
Moukulloto carry provisions to Sooti.
The Abyssinians again made an at
tack, and a desperate battle was wag
ed. The Abyssinians were defeated
and tlie Italian troops were simply
annihilated. But ninety wounded
reached Massowali after the battle.
This statement made a profound sen
sation in tho chamber. Premier De-
prettis then added that the Italian
commander recalled the troops from
the advance and concentrated them
at Massowali. The radicals laughed
ironically at this. The government
now proposed a bill for an appropria
tion of $!,000,000 with which to send
Italian reinforcements to Massowali.
The chamber at once approved the
bill by an almost unanimous vote.
Some radicals having cheered sarcas
tically in allusion to the valor of the
Abyssinian troops the whole house
rose and cheered the government.
Tha radicals cried out: “We must re
tire.” The majority rejoined with
eries of “Neverl” “Coward!” etc. The
city is tonight in a high state of ex
citement, bordering on frenzy over
the news from the Soudan.
The Firgt Keen Twinge.
As tlie season advances, the pains
and itches by which rheumatism
makes itself known, are experienced
after every exposure. It is not claim
ed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a spe
cific for rheumatism—^we doubt if
there is, or can be such a remedy.
But the thousands benefltted by
Hood's Harsaparilla, warrant us in
urging tliose who suffer from rheuma
tism to take it before* the first keen
twinge.
Dr. Jones’ Duck Story.
Albany News.
Dr. T. Jones, an old resident of
Dougherty county, who delights to
recount the happenings of tlie “good
old times,” seeing a negro with three
wild ducks on yesterday, remarked
that game was not so plentiful in
these parts as in the years just pre
ceding and following the war. A
short time after tlie war lie went to
Mercer’s mill pond, then McLellan’s,
duck shooting. He saw a large num
ber near the banks of the pond, and
succeeded in reaching easy shooting
distance without attracting their at
tention, and fired tlie first barrel at
them sitting on the water, and as
they rose, gave them the contents of
the other. The doctor bagged in the
two shots twenty-six, and many that
were severely winged swam off.
