X FATAL mistake.
Tiit . Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
0 f February 23d, 1883, pub-
mhed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
i JL ., n suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
avliieh had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
The disease
with a slight de-
of the digestion,
appetite, followed
indescribable dis-
omaeh,' a feeling
described as a
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 sticky—
a cold perspiration. There
was a eor.-u.-mr.- tired and lan-‘
■uid feeling. Then followed a
ilreudful 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, 1883, the opera
tion was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Cnpner,
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
tins 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 be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
V hen loo late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
6cwed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made*, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor worn.ni to know that his
wife died from t bo effects of a
surgical up,.ration that ought
never to bave been performed.

Snakes of Africa.
•A cor^osp°^0»it of tlieiSan Fmneis-
oo Chrouicle writing from Natal on
tno couth-east coast of Africa, has the
following to say concerning the snakes
offthat region:
.The most dangerous and most plen
tiful pests of that country are the
many species of snakes. First in size
°w' lie8 w 6 Py tho « or hoaconstrictor: al-
though not attaiuingthe immense size
of the South American congener, he iR
a fellow to keep away from. This
j snake is found mostly in the low
i country adjoiningtheeoastandpartie-
I umrly on the sugar estates. It grown
to a length of llfteen or eighteen feet,
but is not considered very dangerous.
Then we have the tribe of nimambas,
black, brown, and green. These
snakes will not only show fight, to
a man, but will pursue him even if
mounted. In attacking they rear
themselves up, and a snake six feet
long will carry its head four feet from
the ground, waving it from side to
side and traveling as fast as a horse
can run. Their bite is sure and sud
den death. The cobra is another dan
gerous snake, lying concealed and
striking when least expected. The
cobra’s bite is deadly.

SHERIDAN’S RIDE.
It appears that General Sheridan
loses another ride through the
ov of Virginia, whereupon Gen
eral fiosscr has tills to say about it:
University of Virginia, May 3.
Major HolmeB Conrad—My Dear Ma
jor: I have seen repeated recently in
the newspapers that General P. H.
Sheridan, United States army, con
templates at an early day another
ride up the Shenandoah Valley. 1
had hoped that our beautiful valley
should never again be deaerated by
his foot-prints. Cold, cruel and bru
tal must he the character of this sol
dier, who fondly cherishes the memo
ries of the wild, wanton wpste and
desolation which his barbarous torch
spread through the valiey, laying in
ashes the beautiful homes of inno
cent women, young and helpless chil
dren arid aged men, and who over
these ruins boasted that “now a crow
cannot fly over this valley without
carrying its rations.”
General Sheridan has done nothing
since the war to atone for his cruel
barbarism during tho war. We have
not forgotten that during his reign
in New Orleans he asked that our
fellow-citizens of Louisiana might,
bo proclaimed banditti in order that
he might set the dogs of war on
them.
I have forgiven the brave men of
tin- Union army whom I met in hon
orable battle, and who Anally tri
umphed over ns in the great struggle.
Among them I can now name many
of my' warmest and truest and most
prized friends. They aro good and
true to me, and think none the less of
for Imviug fought them.
Yours truly,
Thomas L. Rusher.

THE MIND CUREFORTHE OPIUM
HABIT.
RrtMsh ami Colonial linigniat.
There can be little doubt that much
of the distress resulting /roni abstin
ence from an accustomed stimulant,
whatever it be, is due to imagination,
and in some cases victims of tbe habit
have cured themseivea by the exer
tion simply of a strong determination
to take no more, in a large number
of cases, however, i lie indulgence has
produced a compUtd paralysis of will
power, and then some method of judi
cious medical treatment is necessary
although even then success does not
always follow. An account of an in
genious mode of effecting the cure of
along indulged opium habit is given
ip tbe Medical World by Dr. It. H.
Dalton. The patient was first allowed
fora week to take hat usual quantity
of morphine in the form of a mixture
containing also five drops of iiux
vomica and one-quarter grain quinine
in etiiut dose, and colored with tinc
ture of lavender. Then for twenty
weeks the amount of morphine was
lessened everv seven days by one-
twentietli, and, at the same time, the
tincture increased by one drop, and
the quinine by one-quarter grain at
each change, until the morphine was
left entirely out. In the meantime,
however, the quinine was not aug
mented after'the ninth week, but ten
drops of elixir of vitriol added to each
dose taken afterwards. The diminu
tion of morphine was minute and
gradual, .and, the taste being the
same, the patient was unable to de
tect any change whatever during the
four months’ treatment. As soon ns
Dr. Dalton became satisfied that the
habit was entirely in the inind, he an
nounced that she had not taken a
particle of morphine for two weeks.
As soon as she understood this the
spell was broken, and she wanted no
more morphine, and her gratitude
seamed unbounded. Dr. Dalton
thinks that if recourse to stimulants
be prevented during the curing of
flu* opium habit any physician may
succeed with this plan.
That Tired^Feeling
Heasotr is bore again, and nearly every
one feels weak, languid, and exhaust
ed. The blood laden with impurities
which have been accumulating for
months, moves sluggishly through
tlie veins, the mind fails to think
quickly, and ttie body is still slower
to respond; flood’s Sarsaparilla is
just what is needed. It is, in a pecu
liar sense, the ideal spring medicine.
It pnrifles, 1 vitalizes, and enriches the
blood, makes the head clear, creates
an appetite, overcomes that tired
feeling, and imparts new strength
and vig>or to the whole body.* 48 tin
SPEAKER CARLISLE.
A writer from Louisville, Ky.,
speaking of Mr. Carlisle, Who was in
Louisville, said lie put Fiiniself square
ly on the record*, so there can be no
doubt of his position. Hethirksthe
next House will unquestionably re
duce tlie present tariff. He does not
expect such a hill as tlie revenue re
formers Democrats would like to have,
but thinks there will be a substan
tial reduction. Said he: “We have
arrived at a point where tariff agita
tion is absolutely necessary. The
large and growing treasury surplus
makes it necessary. There is no pos
sible way to escape it. All tbe meth
ods proposed in that direction are for
the most part absurdities. The sen
tiuient for a reduction of the tariff is
growing steadily, especially in the
Northwest. Coupling this growing
sentiment with an absolute necessity
for a reduction, 1 think it requires
little powers of political prophesy to
assert with confidence that a reduc
tion must come. The bill reducing
the tariff must bo passed, however,
with the help of Republican votes.
Tho defection in our ranks, caused
by Mr. Randall and other protection
ists, will put it out of the power of tlie
Democrats to pass any tariff revision
bill, unless they are aided by revenue
reformers from the Republicans’
s. It will not bo difficult to ob
tain a sufficient number of recruits,
my opinion. The Republicans in
the West and Northwest are getting
more and more nervous on the tariff
question. In the Forty-eighth Con
gress all the Republican members, ex-
:ept (.lie from Minnesota, voted for
tlm Morrison bill. Tlie gentleman
who failed to vote for us was not re
jected. At tho last Congress we got
all but oho of the Minnesota lri.-m-
bers. In tho next Congress tlie Dem
ocrats have three members from Min
nesota something .very unusual you
know. This indicates tlie growth of
revenue reform.”
BLOOD AND MONEY.
The blood of man has much to d >
ip shaping his actions during his, pii-,
rimage thfough this troublesome
world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket
or stored away in bank. It, is a con
ceded fact that we appear as our
blood makes, us, and the purer the
blood, tlie happier, healthier, prettier
and wiser wo are; hence the oft re
peated interrogatory, “how is your
blood?” With pure streams of life-
giving fluid coursing through our
veins, bounding through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical
frames, our morals become better, our
constitution stronger, our intellectual
faculties more acute and grander, and
men, women and children happier,
healthier and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the
unparalleled curative powers, and
the unmistakable proof from those
of unimpeachable character and in
tegrity, point with an unerring linger
to B. B. B.—Botanic Blood Balm—as
far the best, the cheapest, the quick
est and the grandest and most power
ful Ijlood remedy ever before known

tive cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism,

falling he was struck by the first tree
(which wasaoross his leg when fofind,)
and had his skull split open from the

which these bulbs ii,re set. is’iliin, and
it lies upon tlie smooth and rigid sur
face of tlie skull. It is irrigated, so
to speak, by arteries extending up
ward in it, through which tlie blood
is forced to tho top of the head.
Slight pressure exerted upon the sur
face of the scalp tends to eltoke these
channels. The bony plate under
them will not yield and so the elastic
walls of the arteries are compressed.
The modern hat is carefully fitted to
the shape of the skull by a “conform-
ator,” an instrument which, Mr.
Goiffnlock says, more destructive to
the natural head covering than ever
were the scalping knives of the North
American Indians, fitted by this
machine the rigid band of the hat
compresses the scalp between it and
the underlying skull at every point
in its courte around tlie head. This
pressure lessens the flow of arterial
blood and obstructs the return of
the vefious blood, th() result being
a sluggish circulation in the ca
pillaries around the hair follicles
and bulbs, ft consequent impairment
of nutrition, and at last astrophy.
The red mark of congestion shown on
the forehead when a hard hat is re
moved after moderate exercise must
convince any one that this pressure*
