Show rail uch Thing Be t There is such a thing as carrying economy even beyond the borders of parsimony. Here is a case we vouch for as actually occurring, wo will not gay where. Throe years ago a certain person purchased as a Christmas grift for hU daughter a little chair, painted red. Iu 18S9 he had the chair painted blue and gave it to her as a brand new Christmas gift. Last year he had the game chair gilded, and worked it off again as a Christmas gift on his innocent and helpless child. In a very poor household such an inci-dent would be pathetic. But this father is by no means a poor man. Buffalo Commercial. EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER. Tha Commotion 'anted bjr the "fate in ni I of a I'll) Klrlan. An unusual article from the Roches-ter, X. Y.. Democrat and Chronicle, was recently republished in this paper and was a subject of much comment. That the article caused even more commotion in Rochester, the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well-know- n not only in Rochester, but in nearly every part of America, sent an ex-tended article to this paper, a few days since, which was duly published, de-tailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our otHce as to th validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further iuvesti- - Dr. S. A. Lattimore, one of the an-alysts of the State Board of Health. u Yes, sir." What did this analysis show you?" "A serious disease of the kidneys.'' Did vou think Mr. Warner could recover.-- ' ' No, sir, I did not think it possi-ble." "Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?" I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure and harmless." The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in this community is beyond question, and the statements they make cannot for a mo-ment bo disputed. Dr. Henion' s expe-rience shows that Bright' s disease of the kidneys is one of the most decep-tive end dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken in time. gation of the subject was deemed neces-sary. With this end in view a representa-tive of this paper called .on Dr, Hen-ion, at his residence, when the follow-ing interview occurred: That article of yours, Doctor, has created quito a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in. and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?" Every one of them and many addi-tional ones. I was brought so low by neglecting the first and moat simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is trua I had frequent head-aches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull pains and my stom-ach was out of order, but 1 did not think it meant anything serious. "The medical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the ap-proach of kidney disease more than a cough announces the coining of con-sumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the lungs. We shouid not waste our time trying to relieve the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments. 'This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-ha- lf the deaths which occur urise from Bright' disease, is it, Doctor?" Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people today, which in reality nre Bright's disease in somo of its many forms. It is a Hydra-heade- d monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. 1 can look back and recall hun-dreds of deaths which physicians de-clared at the time were caused by pa-ralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneu-monia, malarial fever und other com- - won complaints which I see now were caused by Bright' a disease." And did ail thess cases have simple symptoms at first?" Kvery one of thent, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think 1 am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also." Mr. Warner, who was visited at his establishment on X St Paul street, spoke very earnestly: It is true that Bright's disease had increased wonderfully, and wefiud, by reliable statistics, that from '70 to '80 its growth was over 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has car-ried off, and is taking every year, for while many are dying apparently from paralysis and apoplexy, they are really victims of kidney disorder, which cause heart disease, paralysis, apo-plexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prom-inent man from this scourge. Recent-ly, however, the increase has been checked and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy." "Do you think many people are af-flicted with it to-da- y who do not real-ize it, Mr. Warner?" "A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various flu-ids under microscopic analysis and was showing the students what the indica-tions of this terrible malady were. 'And now, gentlemen,' he said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in astate of perfect health.' and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed his color and com-mand both left him and in a trembling voice he said: 'Gentlemen I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease of the kidneys;' and in less than a year he was dead. The slightest in-dications of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to any one. " 'You know of Dr. Ilenion's case?" "Yes, I have both read and heard of it." It is very wonderful, is it not?" 'So more so than a great many oth-ers that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means." ' You believe then that Bright's dis-ease can be cured." I know it can. I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends," You speak of your own experience, what was it?" "A fearful one. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physi-cians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, say-ing: 'There goes a man who will be dead within a year.' I believe his words would have proved true if I had not fortunately used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure." Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. II. II.

One day out of six f am allowed to rest, but "during the other five working days of the week I am thankful if I get live hours of sleep out of the twenty-fou- r. "Why don't the siek poor go to f'O hospitals? If you were to auk tliem they would say they are afraid of the black bottle. They believe (irmly that when hospital nurses and doctors see that a patient's case is hopeless they put him out of his misery with a dose from a black bottle. You would lie surprised to find how common this kind of talk is. even among those of whom you would expect belter sense. They would rather remain among their people, who encourage them in such foolishness, though they themselves haven't time to nurse their siek. even if they knew how. Of course people brought up in the slums don't mind the smells as I do, and tlio sight of vermin doesn't uauseate them as it does me; but for all that their sick would not ouly be much more com-fortable, but in many cases their chances of life would be doubled if they could be persuaded to go to souie decent hospital. "What kind of smulls do I eucoun-ter- ? All kinds except sweet ones. I often wish I might leave my nose at home, for while I am groping about iu the dark halls, trying to find my way to the shaky staircases, it seems to me a different bad smell comes with every breath I draw. "1 have sometimes almost gone down ou my knees to some poor rheu-matic or partially paralyzed woman, imploring her to let herself bo taken to the hospital, where the could re-ceive all the attention tllie ought to have, nml the answer would be, 'I ain't litten to die yet, so I'm to keep out of the hospital .s long as I can.' One day the doctor said to a case of this kind she had been a dress-maker, and had supported herself comfortably as long as sho was able to work that she would be sure to die if she stayed at home and let her chil-dren expose her to draughts as they v.ere always doing. 'Well.' said she. 'better diu at home, when my time comes than at the hospital, before my time comes, and where I'll ba cut open before the breath is fairly out of my body. That's the way a frieud of mine was served last year. Her folks didn't kuow uo better than to lot her be took to the hospital, and after her death, which I 81pose was helped along by the black bottle, them doctors, without asking leave of nobody, slashed away at the' poor thing; and then they botched her up again, making a great pucker in the seam, such as I wouldn't allow no little 'prentice girl of mine to make.' Now, that dressmaker is a fair specimen of the kind of people I work unioiitr. ... Duties of a missionary nurse? Well, besides giving medicine and slickiug ou plasters and taking tem-peratures, I sometimes have to cook and wash and scrub and beg. Scarcely a day passes that 1 don't boil gruel and broil chops for sick people, and often I have to roll up my sleeves and wash dishes or scrub the lloor. Then occa-sionally I have to go to some deposi-tory where benevolent persons send such things and present a petition for sheets or blankets, or wiiatever else is needed among my patients, whom I sometimes liud lying ou piles of rags. "Salary? Forty dollars for the first mouth, the month of probation, and afterward $50 a mouth.

As many trees are shipped into San Diego and other counties, and if all the trees now in seed bod should mature to a condition for planting, there will be but little danger of an overstock.

Tbe Direction of Growth in Roots. While it is the rule for primary roots, or those first developed, to grow downward, the secondary branches usually tend to assume a direction al-most at right angles to the vertical, and so grow outward and a little downward, as if they were but slight-ly susceptible to the action of gravity; while tertiary brandies, and the farther brandies to which those give rise, grow in all directions quite independent of gravity. It is plain that as a result of these peculiarities the active parts of the root are distributed in such a man-ner as to search tlio surrounding eartli more thoroughly than would otherwise be possible. In case a stone or othur obstruction is encountered by any of the brauehes. the tip is turaed aile and follows the coutour closely until the edge is reached, when it soon as-sumes its proper direction. Not in-frequently it must happen that some root-entin- g nuimal will destroy the end of a young primary rout, and so endanger the prope1 development if the whole system, but experiment ha sliowu that in the event of such injury one of the younger secondary brauehes changes its" direction of growth, so as to point directly downward, and thus assume the function of the primary root to promote the search for food in the deeper regions.

A St. Louis civil engineer, says the says the rails of tha St. Louis bridge were uever stationary, but constantly crept to the east that is. in the direction of the heaviest travel. The rate of progress, he said Was about 360 feet in the year, or would be if the rails were permitted to creep as they pleased, which, of course, they are not permitted to do. It reminded him of a hill in south, west Missohri, over which a turnpike road was constructed, and, do what they would, the people could not keep the road up and down the sides of that hill in good conditiou. The stones would creep to the bottom, and in six months the road would be as bad as ever. They finally had to take up the gravel and macadam and replace them with good-size- d blocksof rough stone. |
