P KE 1NVE4TIUA.TED. A R'luarkable Statement Fnllj Confirm* ed by TJiree Important Interviews. An umipual 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. li. Henion, who is well known not only in R (Chester, 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 experieuce and rescue from what .seemed to be certain death It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our <1B :e 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. W ith this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Reniou 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 terrible condition you were In, and the way you were rescued such as you can sustain?’’ “Every one of them and many addition al ones. Pew people ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and I am not surprised that the public ttunic it mar velous.^ It was marvelous.’’ ••How in the world did you,a physician, come to be brought so lowj” •’By neglecting the first and most sim ple symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is true 1 had fr< quent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothiug one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull, indefinite pains, and my stomach was out of order, but l 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?” “Anythine? 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 loo few physicians do either.” “That is a strange siateuieut, 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, is what you mean when you said more than one-half the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it doctor?,’ “Precisely. Thousands oi 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 haa them. 1 can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paialysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pueumouia, malarial fever and other complaints which Isee now were caused by Bright’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 this nia'ter 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 mole about it go and see Mr. War ner himself. He was sick the same as I, and is the healthiest man m Rochester to day. He has made a study of this sub ject, and can give you more facts than I can. Cfo, 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. \t first Mr. Warner 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 260 per cent. Look at the proji.inent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpen ter, Bishops Baven 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 cone 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. 1 have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent pro fessor in a New urleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the sub ject ot Brigut’s disease. He had various fluids 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 bis own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed —his color and command both lett him, and in a trembling voice he said: “Gent’emen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys,’ and in less tuan 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.oied with it?” “It has no symptoms of its own and very often none at all. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest indication of any kidney difll :ulty should be enough to strike terror to any one. *1 know what I am talking about, for I have been through all stages of kidney disease.” “You know of Dr. Henkm’s case?” “Yes, 1 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 my notice as having been been cured by the same means.” “You believe then that Bright’s disease can be cured?” “i know it can. I know it from th* experience of hundreds of prominent per sons who were g>ven up to die f>y both their physicians and friends.” “You speak ot your own experience, What was it?" “A fearful onei I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did sot 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 wonld have proven true if I had not fortunately se cured and used the remedy now known ac Warner’s Safe Cure.” “And this caused you to manufacture it?” “No u caused me to investigate. I went to the principal cities, saw physicians pre scribing and using it and I therefore de- •ermined, as a duty I owed humanity and he suff (ring, 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 bousebold necessity.” The reporter left Mr. Warner, much im pressed with the earnestness and sincerity ot his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. S. A. Lattimore at his residence on Prince street. Dr. Lattimore, althomrh 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 aluumen and tube casts in great abundance ” ‘ And what did the symptoms indicate?” “A serious 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. Hen ion’s article has caused and to meet the protestations which have been made. Tbe standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. LsUimore 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 the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceed ingly common, alarmingly increasing and that it can be cured. Reteniion of the Juices in Cooking Meats.—Existing thus in a liquid state iu our ordinary flesh meats, it is liable to be wasted in the course of cookery, especially if the ocok has only received the customary technical education and remaius in teebuological ignorance. To illustrate this, let us suppose that a leg of mutton, a shoe of cod. or a piece of salmon, is to be cooked in water, “boiled,” as the cook says. Keeping in mind the fact that in its 1 quid state albumen is diffusible m water, the read er may now stand as so entitle umpire in answering the question whether the flau or the flesh snould be put iu bot water at once, or iu cold water and be gradually heated. The “big endians ’ and the “little-endians” of Lilliput were not more definitely divided than are eertain cookery authorities on this ques tion in reference to fish, I refer to the two which are practically consulted m my own household, that by Mis. Bee- tou, and some sheet ablets banging in the kitchen. Mrs. Beeton says pour cold water oa the fish, the tablets say immerse m hot water. Confining our attention at present to the albumen, what must happen if the fish or flesh is pat in cold water, which is gradually heated? Oimously a loss of albumen by exudation and diffusion through tbe water, especially in tbe case of sliced fish or ol meat exposing much surface of fibres out across, it is also evident that such loss ot alb umeu will be showu by its coagulation when the water is sufficiently heated. Practical readers will at once recognize m the “scum” wuich rises to the sunace of the boiiiug water, and in the milkiness that is more or less diffused throughout it, the evi dence of such loss of albumen. This loss indicates the desirability of plung ing the fish or flesh at once into water hot enough to immediately coagulate the superficial albumen, aud thereby piug the pores through which the muer albuminous juice otherwise exudes. But this is not all. There are other juices besides the albumen, and these are the most important of the flavorug constituents, and, with the other con stituents of animal food, have great nutritive value; so much so that animal food is quite tasteless and almost worth less without them. Whiting on Metals —To write on metals take half a pound of nitric acid aud one ounce muriatic acid. M x aud shake well together, and then it is ready for use. Cover the plate you wish to mark with melted b eswax, when cold write your inscri, tion plainly in the wax clear to the metal with a sharp in strument. Then apply the mixed acids with a feather, carefully filling each letter. Let it remain from one to ten hours, according to the appearanca de sired, throw t n water, which stops the process, and remove the wax. Lemonade Service.—A lemonade set of crackle glass is in fouiteen pieces. The tray aud jug are of iridiscent col ored glass; the dozen cups, with twisted handles, are of strawberry, amber aud bluish glass, four of each tint. A sailor who thought he had been cheated by a second-hand clothier in Buffalo, returned with the garment and demanded his money. When this was refused he shouted out; “I’ll raise a row with some of you here!” “Yhell, who shall it be?” “I want to see the party who keeps this store 1” “So do I.” Where is he ?” “Dot’s vhat I’d like to know myself. You see, my frent, my uncle Isaac first opened dis sthore, uud he failed und assigned. Deu my fadder-in-law he runs it und burns oudt. und sblipt off to New York.

AGRICULTURE, What Kills Fruit Tries.—Deep planting is one error—to plant a tree rather shallower than it formerly stood is really the right way, whilst many plant a tree as they would a poat. Roots are of two Jdr.ds—the young and tender rootlets; composed entirely of cells, the feeders of the trees, always found near the surface flatting air and moisture;and roots of over one year old, which 83‘ve only as supporters of the tree and con ductors of its food. Jtfenoe the injury tnat ensues when the delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in the earth. Plac ing fresh or green manure in contact with the young roots is another great error. The place to put manure is on the surface, where the elements disinte grate, dissolve aud carry it downward. Numerous forms of fungi are generated anl reproduced by the application of such manures directly to the roots, . nd they immediately attack the tree, it is very well to enrich the soil at transplan ting th ' tree, but tbe manure, if to be in contact with rr very near the roots, bhould be tnoroughly decomposed. If fears are entertained of disagreea ble odors in the milk from cabbage or turnip leaves, “give the cow about a tesspoonful of saltpetre onoe a day, pul verized and put in her grain: if it is al ready in the milk dissolve the saltpetre in water and put about a teaspoonful of the solution to a gallon of milk, aud it will remedy it at once,” so says an ex perienced dairyman. He also says that “it drives off good flav; rs as well as bad ones, and that butter made from milk so treated will be as flavorless as winter bufter made from fresh meadow hay, but as it does not destroy the color,peo ple will not find fault with such butter unless they are accustomed to something very nice. Even then they will prefer it to that which has a taste ot turnips, cabbages, carrots or bitter weeds of any kind. The flavor aud keeping qualities of fruit will sometimes vary a great deal, owing to tfie influence of tbe stock in which it is grafted. This is the most noticeable in tbe Baldwin apple, per haps be c .luse it is is most widely dis seminated. When grafted up m the stock of an early apple it will be found to ripen earlier aud decay earlier; when upon a sweet apple it becomes more mild flavor, while upon a seedling stock on which the natural fruit is hard and sour, the Baldwin will have an extreme ly acid flavor and keeps sound a longer time. How far this variation may ex tend, whether all frails can be changed in this way, or whether all stocks have the tame power of influencing the grafts cut in them, is a question deserv ing the attention of our horticulturists. Tht later tiie cabbage plants can be put out without detriment the better, for it is of no advantage to have them head some time belore the proper period of storage for winter. If the ground is rich, and in fine condition the plants will push ahead as fast as may be de sired. Cabbages should be worked fre quently, the oftener the better, which protects them from drouth and enables them to grow during tbe dry period Being gross feeders they are not partial and therefore any kind of manure is seivioeable.but if well rotted the action therefrom is more immediate. In set ting out late plants, water the roots, if possible, covering with dry earth. Pat them in deep and pack to the roots closely. There is a new wrinkle just started about ensilage which may be worth thinking about—that is, to allow one- half the crop of corn grown to mature, aud after securing the ears cut the stalks up the same as it is now done for the silo with the younger corn and mixing it all in oue. This would have the ad vantage that while the matured corn stalks wonld be just as good as the oth er the entire crop of grain would be se cured, and it would be just so muoh gain ed. Of course, the two crops would have to be planted at different dates to use in this way. Another wrinkle is to allow the old corn, after the ears are removed, to be dried, then out up aud add to the young green crop and place and press in the silo. In the culture of squashes the ground should be thr roughly pulverized. The seed should not go in until the weather is well opened, as the vines delight in a warm temperature. Plant in hills nine or ten feet apart for running vt neties, and five or six feet apart for bush sorts Work some flue rich manure iu the hill, and thin out the plants to two for each hill. New Jersey law compels ev ry box or crate of cranberries, if to hold one bushel, to be 12x22 inches, and 13f in. deep. The Massachusetts cranberry barrel must measure 100 quarts, Legis lation regarding snch measurements will be urged w other States, An Ontario fruit grower advises the syringing of plum trees with a solution of Paris green as soon as the trees come into bloom, as a remedy for the oirou- lio. He recommends three applicitfoos one teaspoonful of the mineral to a pail of water. There is considerable advantage re alized in turning off animals as young as possible after getting a. good growth, as it requires less capital in conducting the bus wees of oraediug and feeding,and the risks of accidents, diseases and all other things are muoh lessenee. Experiments made at the New York Agricultural Experiment Htation aeem to indicate that the lip kernels of hint corn are superior to those upon other portions of the ear when used for seed, but with dent corn the experiments do not show the superiority. It is not only necessary to select the plumpest seeds of wheat for seed,but in making such selections the largest aud most perfect heads should also be ob served. Drive the mice from the shocks of wheat standing in the fields by scattering a few bread pills mixed with arsenic. The chickens must not have access to the field however. Corn can be perfected by going through the fields and cutting out the stalks that do not exhibit the proper form in stalk and ear. Sheep give two crops a year, one in the fleece and one in the lambs; some times thiee, for In California and Texas they shear twice a year.

Crushed Mosquito.—In spite of the prediction that crashed mosquito wonld be the fashionable color for August, an amonnt of unreasonable prejudice is abroad concerning it. The manner In whioh the “cuter ptpitna" accomplish es its prehension ol food, is more inter esting to the* zoologist than to the hab itants of the Jersey coast. Sometimes a wily mosquito secrets himself inside the netting bed canopy. Yon can cot catch him, nor will the yielding net permit you to dap anything hard against him with satisfactory result Here is your chance. Gently flap the side until the mosquito takes refuge on the under-top of the canopy. Pour a little benzine, camphor or turpentine (any pungent spirit will answer), into a deep eanoer, and slowly raise it be neath the mosquito; when within a cou ple of inches, clap it np to the top. The near escaping fumes will stupefy the mosquito and prevent him from moving, and when held directly nnder him he falls lifeless into this fluid death-bed. A boy who had no mosquito netting among his possessions, tacked to a long pole the lid of a blacking box. Eveiy night before retiring he filled the lid aud stalked about Ins room slay iug his tens, if not his thousands. Maryland to the Front. The Hon.

Out the maocaroni in bits half au iuoh long, and mix it lightly with the mutton. Batter a pie tin, and form the whole into a smooth round or oval mass in the oentre; spread half an ounce of butter over it and put it iu the oven; when well hea ted, cover it with a beaten egg, seasoned with a small pinch of salt and two of curry; scatter hnely grated bread over tbe egg, and biown it; serve ou a platter garnished with parsley. This dish may be more highly seasoned if preferred. Good News from Texas. Mr.THOMAS A. Howard,of Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, under date of April 6,1883, writes as follows : “I have been suffering during several ears from severe illness, and a general reaking down of my physical system, and have tried the treatment aud 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 failed iu health; and al though informed by my physicians that my ailments and 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 £ had the most in describable pains in 'he 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 £ did not know of the wonderful curative powers of Hunt’s Remedy before, as it would have saved me years of suffering.

When Brigham Young was alive he collected his tenth of the farmei with a persistency that balked at nothing. On one occasion he called before him a subject who has since removed to this state, and said: “Brother Blank yon have not brought in my wheat this year.” “I didn’t raise a single bushel,” was the reply. “Then 111 take it in oats.” “I have none.” “Well, hay will db.” “I have no hay.” “Then bring in potatoes or corn.” “Both crops were a failure, oh, wise prophet. Ail I have off my farm are ten bushels of onions, and of course the Lord doesn't eat onions.” “Maybe not,” growled the old man. “bat yon may bring me a bushel and well take the risk of it” Mr. Blank said it was that bushel of onions which convinced him that there was something suspicious about old Brigham’s inspirations. It was too strong a religion. Bed-Rlddeu and Cured. W. E. Huestis, of Emporia, Kansas, says that his wife had been sick nearly seven years, and for the last four mouths bed-ridden.

Present ly Speight said: “Will yon have a glass of soda water. Miss —-?” “Oh, yes,” says she. After drinking the soda water the young lady waited awhile aud then asked Speight if the oastor oil was ready. “OhI” .says Speight, “you have already taken the castor oil in the soda water.” “Great heavens !” said the young lady, “I wan ted the oil for my mother.” Tableaux.
