..■£+ ... \ > i 119 i Kfi INVESTWaTEt). A lleinarkablc StditMiU'iit Fully Confirm* ed by Three Important Interviews. An unusual article from the Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and Chronicle was published in this paper recently and has been the subject of much conversation both in professional circles and on the street. Apparently it caused more commo tion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. D. Ren ion, who is well known not only in Rochester, but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue from what seemed to be certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our office as to the va lidity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Heniou at his res idence, when the following interview oc curred: “That article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the state ments about the tembie condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?’’ “Every one of them and many addition al ones. Few people ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and I am not surprised that the public think it mar velous. It was marvelous. ” “How in the world did you,a physician, come to be brought so low?’’ “By neglecting the first and most sim ple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true 1 had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull, indefinite pains, and my stomach was out of order, but 1 did not think it meant anything serious.” “But have these common ailments any thing to do with the fearful Bright’s dis ease which took so firm a hold on you?” “Anything? Why, they are the sure in dications of the first stages of that dread ful malady. The fact is, few people know or realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either.” “That is a strange statement, doctor.'’ “But it is a true one. The medical pro fession have been treating symptoms in stead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of Bright’s disease even more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, but try to help the lungs, We should not waste our time trying to relieve the head ache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to’ the kidneys, the source of most of these ail ments.” “This, then, ia what you mean when you said more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it doctor?,’ “Precisely. Thcusanns or so-called dis eases are torturing people to-day, when In reality it is Bright’s disease in some one of its many forms. It is a Hydra headed monster and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. 1 can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other complaints which I see now were caused by Bnght’s disease. ” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy—Warner's Sate Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly open in thia matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see Mr. War ner himself. He was sick the same as I, and Is the healthiest man in Rochester to day. He has made a study of this sub ject, and can give you more facts than I can. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them show ing the alarming increa : e of Bright's dis ease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and there is but one way by which it can be escaped. ” Fully satisfied of the truth and the force of the Doctor’s words, the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. W arner was inclined to be re ticent, but learning that the information desired was about the alarming increase of Bright’s disease, his manner changed in stantly and he spoke very earnestly: “It is true that Bright’s disease has in creased wonderfully, and we find, by re liable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpen ter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and others This is terrible, and shows a greater growth than that of any other known com plaint. It should be plain to every one that something must be done to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end. ” “Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?” “Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent pro- ftSSWi lu a New uiK-aus ujciilual college was lecturing before Ms class on the sub ject ot Bngut’s disease. He had various tluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast between healthy and un healthy fluids, he had provided a vial, the contents of which were drawn from his own person. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, *as we have seen the unhealthy in dications, 1 will show you how it appears In a state ot perfect health,’ and he sub mitted his own fluid to tbe usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed—his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: “Gentlemen, 1 have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease of the kidneys,’ and in less tnan a year he was dead.” “You believe, then, that it has no symp toms of its own and is frequently unknown even by the person who is afll.cted with it?” “It has no symptoms of its own and very otten none at alL Usually no two people have the same^ymptoms, and frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest indication of any kidney diffl ulty should be enough to strike terror to auy one. I know what I cm talking about, for I have been through all stages of kidney disease.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yes, I have both read and heard of it.” “It is very wonderful, is it not?" “A very prominent case but no more so than a great many others that have come to ray notice as having been been cured by the same means.” “You beheve then that Bright’s can be cured?” “I know it can. I know it from the experience of hundreds of pfdthiflent per sons who were gi^en up to die by both their physicians and friends.” “You speak ot your own experience, wnat was it?" “A fearful one. I bad felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty, h thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying, ‘there goes a man who will be dead within a year.' I believe his words would have proven true if I had not fortunately se cured and used the remedy uow knoarn as Warner’s Safe Cure.” “And this caused you to manufacture it?” “No it caused me to investigate. I went to the principal cities, saw physicians pre scribing and using it and I therefore de • termined, as a duty I owed humanity and •be Buffering, to bring it within their reach and now it is known in every part of America, is sold in every drug store and has become a household necessity.”' The reporter left Mr. Warner, much im pressed with the earnestness and sincerity of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. 8. A. Lattimore at his residence on Prince street. Dr. Lattimore, althoueh busily engaged upon some matters con nected with the State Board of Health, of Health, of which he is one of the analysts, courteously answered the questions that were propounded him. “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor? ’’ “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?” “The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance.’’ “And what did the symptoms indicate?” “A eerious disease of the kidneys.” “Did you think Mr. Warner could re cover?" “No, sir. I did not think it possible. It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounc ed a case had, up to that time, ever been cured.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?" “Yes, 1 have chemically analyzed it and upon critical examination, find it entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious sub stances.” We publish the foregoing statements in view of the commotion which the publici ty of Dr. Henion’s article has caused and to meet the protestations which have been made. Tbe standing of Dr. Heniou, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lsttimore in the commu nity is beyond question and the statement they make cannot be doubted. They con clusively show that Bright’s disease of the kidneys is one of tbe most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases,that it is exceed ingly common, alarmingly increasing and that it can be cured. DOMESTIC. AGRIO OLTURE. Lima Beans as a Field Crop.—The Lima, the most popular bean among amateurs aud market gardeners, is slow in finding its way into the gardens of farmers. The dry beans sell for several dollars a bushel, and the market has never been adequately supplied. Lima beans are easily raised and yield as bountifully as most other pole-beans, and they continne to blossom and beat until killed the frost. We know of no reason why they cannot be made a specialty, like hops or tobacco, and grown on a large scale. They would require better soil and treatment than the common field bean, bat as the price is three times greater, these could be well afforded. A rich, gravelly or sandy loam suits them best, and the phoepha- tic manures are well adapted to them. On this kind of soil we have not found them to run too much to vines, even with heavy dressings of compost pre pared from muck and stable manure. The vine is a strong grower and requires abundant nourishment. The pods are formed quits thickly from the trp to the bottom of the poles. They want the full benefit of the sun. and the rows running north and south should be four feet apart and the hills four feet apart in the row. In planting we pre fer to put the eye downward and not more than one inch deep. The 1st of June is early enough for this latitude. The bean needs frequent cultivation until the vices shade the ground. This crop is well suited for farmers remote from cities and markets. Tne market gardener will not grow lima beans to sell dry, because they are worth more in the green state and he can sell all he cm raise. Eut the farmer, however re mote from tae city, can market his whole crop in the winter and be well paid for his labor. Savwo Vegetable Seeds.—Dr. Geo. Tauber gives tbe following valuable facts concerning the "mixing” of plants and its effect npon seeds: If there are many varieties of the same vegetable in a garden it is impossible to save the seaxls of some in an unmixed state. Sweet com and all of the squash family are quite sure to “mix.” On the other hand, peas and beans rarely cross. If one saves seeds of auy vegetable let it be of the best Instead of leaving the last peas on the vines for seed, set apart a portion of a row for seed and let none be picked from it By proper care the quality of a vegetable may be improved. In saving Lima beans we hare for sev- eral years selected only those with four beaus in a pod. As a consequence, the gvoofar rmmlu»r rtf jvr.la in tha whnla crop now have four beans. The selec tion of the first ripened and best-formed tomatoes for seed will have a marked effect npon future crops, and this is the case with all other vegetables. If one ha a a chosen melon he would preserve in ita purity, the Barest method is to fertilize a few female flowers. lx is a current assertion that dark-col ored clover seeds are more sure to ger minate than light-colored ones. Pro fessor Beal has tried some experiments on this point In 1877 over 93 pir cent of dark-colored seeds grew and about 83 per cent, of light-colored seeds. In 1881 the experiments resulted in favor of the light-colored seeds. The experi ments seem to show that,on on ayeraga there is not much difference in the ger minating power between tbe different colored seeds. Damaged corn is exceedingly injuri ous as food for hones, because it brings on inflammation of the bowels and skin oiseasea. The Best Fins to Broil a Steak.— Now, let ns suppose a similar beefsteak to be cooked by radiant heat, with the least possible cooperation of convection. To effect this onr source of heat most be a good radiator. Glowing solids are better radiators than ordinary flames; therefore coke, or charcoal, or ordinary coal, after its bituminous matter has done its flaming, shonld be used, and the steak or chop may be placed in front or above a surface of such glowing carbon. In ordinary domestic practice it is placed on a gridiron above the coal, and therefore I will consider this case first. The object to be attained is to raise the joices of the meat throngh- ont to about the temperature of 180 deg. Fahr. as quickly as possible, in order that the cookery may be completed before the water of these juices shal 1 have had time to evaporate to any con siderable extent; therefore the meat should be placed as near to the surface of the glowing carbon as possible. Bat the practical housewife will say that, if placed within two or three inches, some of the fat will be melted and barn, and then the steak will be smoked. Now, here we require a little more chemistry. There is smoking and smok ing-smoking that produces a detestable flavor and smoking that does no mis chief at all beyond appearances. The flame of an ordinary coal fire is due to the distillation and combustion of tarry vapors. If such a flame strikes a com paratively cool surface like that of the meat, it will condense and deposit there on a film of crude ooai-tar and coal- naphtha, most nauseous and rathor mischievous; but, if the flame be that which is caused by the combustion of its own fat, the deposit on a mutton chop will be a little mutton oil, on a beefsteak a little beef oil, more or less blackened by mutton carbon or beef carbon. But these oils and carbons have no other flavor than that of cooked mutton aud cooked beef; therefore they are perfectly innocent, in spite of their guilty black appearances. Cold Water Cure fob Burks.— A correspondent writes—Many years ago I scalded one hand very badly with boiling water, and I found the pain stopped on keeping the hand m cold running water. I repeatedly took the hand from the water to let it be dressed with the usual remedies, but every at tempt simply ended in the bandages being pulled off and fresh application of tbe cold water. Under every other remedy the pain was unbearable. In this instance blisters did not form, bat a small open sore came on the wrist aud kept open several weeks. I nsed the water continuously for four or five hours untd the pain was greatly reduced on removing the hand from the cold water. 1 treasured this experience and gave the remedy another trial in a tar more unequivocal case. I was boiling gly cerine and gelatine for a hectograph, and the composition was about free from water when the bottom of the ves sel blew ont and the composition went over my hands There was no mistake about the temperature, us the skm was destroyed superficially. The shock produced intense nausea and I made np my mind to expect very bad hands and the loss of several nails. 1 applied cold water at once. The water not being very cool I added pieces of ice to It. Alter five or six hours’ treatment, the pain did not recur on stopping the treatment Neither hand was disabled, and tbe only inconvenience I suffered was from a lew trifling blisters. 1 have no hesitation whatever in condemning the usual remedies, aud in recommend ing the prolonged application of cold water. 1 think it probable many lives have been sacrificed by an adhesion to the old remedies, for the pain of a large bnrn or scald is so severe as to do seri ous mischief if prolonged for hours. The use of cold water is recommended in a little medical book by a Dr. Russel. He recommends the addition of soda to the water. A plentiful supply of cold water agitated and changed if necessa ry so as to stop the pain will, I am convinced, prevent the mischief of which the paur is a symptom. aoa humoboub. Ah officer of the Welsh steamer Gwa* ha, now in this port, says that a new vessel of that line, to be built at Sun derland, is to have the name of Llanfair- pwllgwyngyllgogery ohwyrndro wllsantt ■ ys'ilogogogoch. “Where didyon And that name?” “It’s pure Welah.” he said. “Have you never heard of the Englishman’s perfect core for lockjaw? Here it Is printed.” He handed the reporter the following card: “Is your father at home?” asked an Englishman of a Welsh boy whom he met on the Great Orme’a Head, Llan dudno. ‘No, sir; he’s gone to work at Llansant-ffraid-glan-Couwy. ’ ‘Is your mother in, then ?’ ‘She’s gone to tbe fair at Llanfihangel-treir-befrdd.’ ‘Dear me! but where ia your sister?’ ‘My sister has gone to school at Llanfairwil- gwngyl Jgogeryohwyrndrowilsanttsiliog- ogogooh.’ ‘Good gracious I’ exo>aimed the Englishman, “I must go aud take a smile.”’ A correspondent says: “When I was young I brought a bottle of English wheat from that country as a present to a farmer fnend here. The farmer ad mired the beautiful large grains but said they would not grow, as the bottle had been tightly corked daring the voy age. He sowed it, but not a grain ger minated. Since that occurrence I have chosen to keep seeds in paper bags in a cool interior closet of Hie boose, and have made no further experiment in sealing np seeds for keeping.” The worst racket I ever had was with a wild stag. He shook me up so’s I thought I’d never get over it.” “How was that ?” “Why, it was a ronsin big buck. Jim W.’s got the horns now. You see he was foilerin’ a doe. I shot the doe with one bar’l, and him with the other, and thought he was all right, but when I stepped over a log to look for him in the bushes, he Jit on me so quick I couldn’t use my gun. He knocked it out of my hand, and then my knife, some way, and I grabbed his horns. I thought he’d never stop yankin’ me round." “How did you get clear of him ?’’ “I gave his horns a twist and disloca ted his neck.” “That was a lucky twist.” A boy 7 or 8 years old was passing along Elizabeth street yesterday with a dime in his fingers, when another boy accosted him with: “What ye going to buy ?” “Camphor.” “Wnat for?” “To keep moths away. “Say,” said the second boy as he came nearer, “I’ll tell you what I’ll do. If you’ll spend five emts o’ that for can dy 111 lend you my dog all one day to hunt down the moths, and if he don’t catch ’em all I’ll lend yon the bossest rat-trap in this city! Yon can just as well save five cents as not,” “Hebe,” said an ignorant fellow, as he stepped into a jeweler's shop, “I can’t do anything with this watch. I’ve shoved the regulator round as far as it will go, but it keeps a losing time.” “Why, man,” exclaimed the jeweler, 'it’s an hour and a half ahead of time now ! What did you set it by?” When it was ascertained that the silly fellow had been trying to time it by a gas- meter the jeweler didn’t wonder a bit that tbe watch oonldn’t Login to keep np. “I’ve stolen a coat,” said a man to a lawyer, “and I want you to defend me. Think you can prove me innocent?” “On, yes; we can prove that you were ia an adjoining township when the coat was stolen and the prosecution is mali cious.” “How mnefi will you charge ?” “What sort of a coat is it?” “First rate; never been worn any.” “Well, I won’t charge you anything. Just give mo t .0 coat” “Did you see anything that porticn- larly struck your fancy wflen yon were looking around the furnitnre stores to day ?” asked a young Somerville hus band of his lately made wife, on her return from her furniture inspection. “Yes," she replied; “i saw somethiBg exceedingly pretty in looking glasses.” “I have no doubt you did,” he ob served, “if you looked into them."

This grain rapidly absorbs every vesbge of damp from wet leather. As it takes up the moisture it swells and fllis the boot like a tightly-fitting last, keeping its form good, and drying the leatner without hardening it. In the morning shake ont the oatis and hang them in a bag near the fire to dry, ready for use on another occasion. Fob a useful lime wash for wood and stone this ia the proposed preparation: Twenty liters of quicklime are slacked in a suitable vessel. One gramme of sulphate of zinc and 5 grammes of com mon salt are added. The latter causes the lime to dry without any cracks. A very beautiful fawn color is prod need by adding to the mixture 5 grammes of yellow ochre, or if a atone color is de sired 2 grammes of amber and one of lampblack may be substituted. A com mon brush may be used in applying the wash. An electric light for deep sea fishing adorns "he new steamer Albatross, of the fish commission.

Wool being the chief profit of sheep faming, it will be economy to feed oats or oil cake pretty freely to secure a liberal growth of this staple. Maryland to the front. The Hon. Oden Bowie, Ex-Governor of Maryland, Fresident of the Baltimore Gity Passenger Railroad Co., also Presi dent of the Maryland Jockey Club says; “Both in my family, aqd in my private stables, as well as. those of the City Pas senger Railway Co., I have for several years used St Jacob’s Oil most satisfacto rily.” 8uch a statement ought to convince every reader of this paper. Good News from Texas. Mr. Thomas A. Howard,of Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, under date of April 5,1883, writes as follows : “I have been suffering during several fears from severe illness, and a general breaking down of my physical system, and have tried the treatment and prescriptions of many doctors far and near, and traveled to the Hot Springs and other mineral springs famous for their remedial qualities, drinking the waters and bathing systemati cally in their healing depths, but all to no avail, as I steadily faded in health; and al though informed by my physicians that my ailments anl weaknesses were the result of kidney disease of a dangerous character, they could.give me nothing to cure me. During the past two years my sufferings at times were dreadful, and I had the most in describable pains in the regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms of which were so severe as to render it impossible for me to sleep. While in this deplorable and dis couraged condition I was persuaded to try Hunt’s Remedy, and after using less than half a bottle my great sufferings and par oxysms of pain were entirely relieved, and I could sleep better and longer than I had in two years before, and although I am now on my third bottle only my improvement is very remarkable, and I regret that I did not know of the wonderful curative powers of Hunt’s Remedy before, as it would have saved me years of suffering.
