WHAT PUZZLES THE DOCIOBS.
A Man with hl? Heart on his Bight Side.
The Faculty of the Homeopathic Med?
ical College in this city is very much in?
terested in a very singular case which
has latelv come under their care for treat?
ment. The immediate object of their
endeavors is to restors to its natural place
in the left side the heart of Lathrop G.
Warford, which for two years has been
doing inadequate duty in his right side.
Although they deemed it scarcely worth
while to attempt to correct this freak of
disease when their skill was first invoked,
the vital organs of the patient were found
to be so sturdily constituted that great re?
lief has already been experienced by the
sufferer, and strong hopes are entertained
o.: his permanent cure ultimately.
The history of the case is as follows:
la the winter of 1877, Warford, then a
cashier in French's Hotel, contracted a
sc vere cold which never, to his knowl?
edge, took the shape of active pleurisy,
although its consequences indicate that
pleuritic inflammation must have existed.
He was an active and strong fellow of 28,
and this seizure was his first attack of
acute disease. Despite remedies the cold
progressed, and his first medical adviser
was of the opinion that he was going into
rapid decline, and that his life was worth
at most only a few months' purchase.
The treatment prescribed looked only
toward mitigating his sufferings. Late
in the spring of '77 he had become so
weak that he was forced to give business,
and he went back to Troy, his native
place, to spend his few remaining days.
Dr. Waldo of West Troy, who became
his medical attendant, was much puzzled
to account for the absence of many of
the symptoms that invariably accompany
consumption. He sounded his patient's
chest, and found that the left lung was
completely atrophied and was doing no
duty whatever.
Pursuing his investigations he was
dumb-founded to find the young man's
heart beating in his right side. Warford
himself was unconscious of the shifting
of the organ. He had never, during his
life suffered any discomfort from it, but
always theretofore, when he had occasion
to notice it, he had always found it on
the left side where other folks hearts
hang. No such change cf position had
been reported in the medical experiences
of physicians, and Dr. Waldo was greatly
puzzled to account for it. Dropsy of the
chest was suspected, but there again the
physician was put in doubt by the ab?
sence of many characteristic symptoms.
The patient was able to lie in any posi?
tion, whereas, in other dropsical cases,
only particular positions are found toler
ble by the afflicted. The disease also
manifested itself in bloated sac under
the eyes,, in swelling of the extremities
and >in a peculiar opaque pallor, and all
these symptoms were absent in Warford's
case. Dr. McLean of West Troy, one of
the most eminent practitioners in Central
New York, was called in consultation.
Warford bad then become so enfeebled
that the physicians thought his tenure of
life worth the risk of an operation to
disclose the source of disease. They,
with one consent, agreed that the chances
were largely in favor of his dying under
the knife. Very unexpectedly his strength
recovered somewhat within the next lew
n days, and they decided to risk the opera?
tion. By this time the doctors had
reached the conclusion that he was suf?
fering from Pyo-hydrothorax, or purulent
dropsy of the thorax. A large sac of pus
and serous fluid had completely usurped
the place of the vital organs in the left
side, squeezing the left lung until it col?
lapsed and withered, and driving the
heart to its new home on the right side.
They had also been able to locate the
immediate seat of the disease. Just two
years ago Drs. McLean and Waldo per?
formed the first operation. Warford was
so feeble at the time that they were afraid
to administer anaesthetics, so after forti?
fying him with sundry doses of brandy,
they began to cut
The primary incision was made be?
tween the fifth and sixth ribs, about
eight inches from the spine, on the left
side. A rubber tube, ending in an ex?
haustible receiver, was inserted, and
through this nearly eight pints of puru?
lent serous matter were discharged. The
patient was almost instantly relieved of
. the oppressed, labored respiration, and
within twentv-four hours was up and
around the Bouse, weak, bat hopeful.
He gathered strength rapidly, and the
physicians came to the conclusion that,
despite the double labor thrown npon his
right lung, be was free from active dis?
ease in those organs. The heart, how?
ever, showed no disposition to return to
its natural place.
Within a few weeks**Warford grew
worse again, and it became apparent that
there was another effusion of dropsical
matter npon the thorax. They suffered
it to proceed until his respiration became
seriously interfered with again when they
renewed the tapping process. In the six
weeks since the first tapping nearly seven
pints of the purulent fluid had collected
and were ejected. From that second
tapping until now Warford's general
health nas been improving. His system
has responded with increasing activity to
the remedies used, and the necessity for
tapping has decreased in frequency. He
has undergone six tappings, all told, the
last of which was done in March. Al?
together, thirty-nine pints of the drop?
sical fluid have been drawn from him.
The improvement may be seen in the
circumstance that only four and a half
pints were drawn off by the two last op?
erations, although they were made three
months apart.
The patient has returned to this city
and is about engaging again in active
business. Drs. Dowling and HelmuTh,
who have assumed charge of his case,
say that they discover indications of air
forcing itself into the atrophied lung
again, and are hopeful that it may be
encouraged to resume duty. If it does
so, the neart may be induced to swing
back to its natural place. They are
about persuaded of the propriety of in
tioducing some inflammatory agent into
the seat of the disease at the next tapp?
ing, hoping that, by bringing about active
inflammation, they will be able to perm?
anently cure the diseased part. This
done, they prolesa to see no reason why
Warford may not again be a sound man,
with two lungs doing active duty, and a
heart in its right place. The only simi?
lar case in the medical records is that of
a contortionist reported in the Ecglish
medical journals a few months since.
The change in the position of his heart
l< the right side was too great in big case,
however, and he died.
What an Old Man has Noticed.?
I have noticed that all men are honest
when well watched.
I have noticed that purses will hold
pennies as well as pounds.
I have noticed that in order to be a
reasonable creature, it is necessary at
times to be downright mad.
I have noticed that silks, broadcloths
and jewels are often bought with other
people's money.
I nave noticed that whatever is, is right,
with few excetions ? the left eye and the
left leg, and the left side of a plum pud?
ding.
I have noticed that the prayer of the
selfish man is, "Forgive us our debts,"
while he makes everybody that owes him
pay to the utmost farthing.
I have noticed that he who thinks ev?
ery man a rogue, is certain to see one
when he shaves himself, and he ought, in
mercy to his neighbor, to surrender the
rascal to justice.
I have noticed that money is the fool's
wisdom, the kuave's reputation, the poor
man's desire, the covetous man's ambi?
tion and the idol of them all.

NEW YORK'S M?RBER MYSTERY.
Tho Strange Crime which is Dallling the
Detectives.
The murder of Mrs. Hull, a well-to-do
woman and a member of Sorosis, a stone's
throw from Fifth avenue, New York, re?
main's the current metropolitan mystery,
partly because Mrs. Hull was a very well
known woman, and partly because the
murder was an extraordinary one to
whose perpetrator no cluo'has been dis?
covered. The general opinion, both of
the police and the papers, is that the
murder was not the work of professional
criminals, but was done by some one
living in her house. Mrs. Hull was
found on her bed, tied and strangled ; the
knotd were in one case such as only as a
surgon Would be likely to make, and the
examination of her eyes by a lighted
candle, to find if she were still living,
was a test also needing medical knowl?
edge. The pieces of her own clothing selec?
ted to bind her were apparently chosen by
some one familiar with her wardrobe,
and the act was done by those minutely
acquainted with her room. Her husband,
a doctor, is under close surveillance, but
many circumstances render it difficult to
believe that he can be the criminal.
WHO MUS. HULL 13.
Mrs. Hull, at the time of her death,
was 58 years of age. She was married at
16, aud two years later went to London
with her husband, where they lived a
number of years. She was described at
that time as a most beautiful woman.
Upon her return to this country she grew
very fleshy and lost much of her beauty.
She weighed nearly three hundred
pounds. She was a descendant of the
old and well-known DeForrest family.
So proud was she of her ancestry that in
making her signature she invariably pre?
fixed her full maiden name of Jane L.
De Forrest to the name of Hull.
Among the articles which the robbers
secured were the contents of two purses,
a valuable gold watch and chain, the
ana various other rings. Among these
were a solitaire diamond, a cluster dia?
mond, an emerald set with diamonds,
and a very valuable cameo ring with a
mosaic setting. A pair of diamond soli?
taire ear-rings is also missing, as well as
a pair of valuable cameo ear-rings and a
diamond cross. In all not less than
$1,500 or $2,000 worth of jewelry was
taken.
THE STRANGENESS OF THE M?KDEB.
Mrs. Hull when found wns tied to the
bed. There were undoubtedly two or
three persons connected with the tragedy.
One theory is that they entered the room
for the. purpose of robbery, that the lady
made a strong resistance and they took
violent means to keep her quiet. A piece
of the bed sheet was tied to one ankle
and then passed under the bed and tied
to the other ankle. Her feet were thus
held at opposite sides of the bed. Her
elbows were pinioned and her hands tied.
There was a bandage around her eyes,
and some heavy cloth had been twisted
around her neck and wonnd around her
mouth. Mrs. Hull was evidently smoth?
ered and a pillow was used for this pur?
pose. One or two men held it tightly
over her face and mouth until she was
quiet. Frightened at the thought that
they might have killed her, they held a
candle to her eyes, and so closely that
the eyebrows were singed. That a cau?
dle was used is shown by aspot of tallow,
the lady was dead, and the robbers, leav?
ing much of their booty behind them,
fled. At least this is the theory of some
of the detectives. Mrs. Hull for years
had been sleeping on the first floor, in
rear of the parlor. Her husband occu?
pied a room in the fourth story. The
couple, to all appearances, were conten?
ted and lived happily. The house is a
handsome one, m the middle of the
block between Sixth avenue and Broad?
way on West Forty-second street. Sev?
eral people occupied furnished rooms in
the house.
which were torn from her fii
"WHO DID IT ?
The question which is now puzzling the
police is, Who did it ? Some contend
that at least three persona were engaged
in the murder, as it could not have taken
less than that number to overpower Mrs.
Hull and bind her in the way in which
she was bound. Everything about the
house was secure and there was no possi?
ble way of gaining an entrance except
through the front door. There were no
signs of a violent entry. It is known
that Mrs. Hull has changed servants
somewhat frequently, and that some of
those which she has had?all being color?
ed?have had a good many callers, and on
this account it has been suspected that
some of these callers may have planned
and executed the robbery. At all events
there seems to be but two reasonable the?
ories. One is that some persons in the
house did the deed, and the other that
some one opened the door and let the
murderers in. A few days ago Mrs. Hull's
pet dog died. It was a vicious little thing
and a perfect watch dog. It is now
thought that the dog was poisoned. The
high police officials seem to have settled
down to a positive opinion as to how the
murder was committed. They also think
that they can point out one at least of
the murderers. It is certain that they no
longer consider the case a mystery im?
possible of solution. They have, on the
contrary, made up their minds that the
murder was committed by one or more
persons in the house, and that the ab?
straction of the jewels was not a robbery
in fact, but was simply intended to make
it appear that the crime was the work of
professional thieves. Superintendent
Walling and his assistants are now work?
ing in accordance with this view of the
case, and are hopeful of proving the cor?
rectness of it before very long. It is un?
derstood that the discovery of the burn?
ing of the dead woman's eyebrows was
one of the first incidents which set the
minds of the detectives working in this
direction. They argued that the experi?
ment of holding a lighted candle close to
the eyes of a person supposed to be dead
is scarcely one which would suggest itself
to tho mind^of an ordinary thief or an
unprofessional person, and in following
up the train of thought suggested by this
idea, it is said that they discovered sev?
eral pieces of strong circumstantial evi?
dence which confirmed their theory. Su?
perintendent Walling expects to find the
jewels in the house, and is making a
thorough search. The house is being
very strictly guarded, and Dr. Hull is
never for a moment allowed out of sight.
A Thought on Future Retribution.
Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or any
one else may think, or theorize, concerning
the doctrine of future retribution, certain
it is that nature is an uncompromising
believer in its certainty and justice. Do
yourself the willful injury of violating
the conditions of health, her retribution
is sure and often apparently far exceed?
ing in proportion the sin. Late hours,
irregular meals, overeating, excesses of
all kinds, are followed by "liver com?
plaint," dyspepsia, and sympathetic dis?
orders of the brain. In women the
same excesses, augmented by the wearing
of tight or insufficient clothing, the sus?
pension of heavy skirts from the hips,
etc., invariably produce those weaknesses,
and diseases peculiar to the sex. Re?
peated attacks of cold, due to exposure,
inevitably produce catarrh, and in some
cases consumption. The liberal party
have one argument in their favor in the
fact that Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines
are sure and efficient remedies for these
retributive diseases. The Golden Medi?
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, for the diseases of the stomach
and liver, are unexcelled,, while the Fa?
vorite Prescription enjoys the highest
reputation of all remedies for female dis?
eases and weaknesses.
Never promise more than can be done.

GEORGE ELIOT OX THE JEWS.
Their Characteristics und Their Destiny
Some Interesting Extracts from the Great
Novelist'!. New Book.
George Eliot's new book, "Impressions
of ThcophrastusSuch," contains a strong
paper called "The Modern Hep! Hep!
Hep!" which is a vigorous plea for the
modern Jew. It says:
The eminence, the nobleness, of a peo?
ple, depends on its capability of being
stirred by memories and of striving for
what we call spiritual ends?ends which
consist not in immediate material pos?
session, but in the satisfaction of a great
feeling that animates the collective body
with j one soul. A people having the
seed of worthiness in it must feel an an?
swering thrill when it is adjured by the
deaths of its heroes who died to preserve
its national existence; when it is remin?
ded of its Bmall beginnings and gradual
growth throutrh past labors and strug?
gles, such as are still demanded of it in or?
der that the freedom and well-being thus
inherited may be transmitted unimpaired
to children and children's children, when
an appeal against the permission of in?
justice is made to great precedents in its
history and to the breathing in its insti?
tutions. It is this living force of senti?
ment in common which makes a nation?
al consciousness. Nations so moved will
resist conquests with the very breasts of
their women, will pay their millions and
their blood to abolish slavery, will share
privations in famine and all calamity,
will produce poets to sing "some great
story of a man," and thinkers whose
theories will bear the test of action. An
individual man, to be harmoniously
great, must belong to a nation of this
order, if not in actual existence, yet ex?
isting in the past, in memory, as a depar?
ted, invisible, beloved ideal, once a real?
ity and perhaps to be restored. A com?
mon humanity is not yet enough to feed
the rich blood of various activity which
make a complete mau.
As to the future of the Jews as a na?
tion, George Eliot holds certain positive
views which are worthy of being set
forth fully and in . which there is much
food for * meditation :
And this is the usual level or thinking
in polite society concerning the Jews.
Apart from theological purposes, it
seems to be held surprising that anybody
should take an interest in the history of
a people whose literature has furnished
all our devotional language; and if any
reference is made to their past or future
destinies some hearer is sure to state as
a relevant fact which may assist our
judgment that she, for her part, is not
fond of them, having known a Mr. Jacob
son who was very unpleasant; or that
he, for his part, thinks meanly of them
as a race, though on inquiry you find
that he is so little acquainted with their
characteristics that he is astonished to
learn how many persons whom he has
blindly admired and applauded are Jews
to the backbone. Again, men who con?
sider themselves in the very van of modern
advancement, knowing history and the
latest philosophies of history, indicate
their contemptuous surprise that any
one should entertain the' destiny of the
Jews as a worthy subject, by referring to
Moloch and their own agreement with
the theory that the religion of Jehovah
was merely a transformed Moloch wor?
ship, while in the same breath tbey are
glorifying "civilization" as a transformed
tribal existence of which some linea?
ments are traceable in grim marriage
customs of the native Australians. Are
these erudite persons prepared to insist
the name "Father" should no longer
have any sanctity for us, because in their
view of likelihood our Aryan ancestors
were mere improvers on a state of things
iu which nobody knew his own father?
For less theoretic men, ambitious to
be regarded as practical politicians, the
value of the Hebrew race has been meas?
ured by their unfavorable opinion of a
Srime minister who is a Jew by lineage,
ut it is so possible to form a very ugly
opinion as to the scrupulousness of Wal
fole or of Chatham, and in every case
think Englishmen would refuse to ac?
cept the character and doings of those
eighteen-century statesmen as the stan?
dard value for the English people and
the part they havs to play in the for?
tunes of mankind.
If we are to consider the future of the
Jervs at all, it seems reasonable to
take as a preliminary question: Are
they destined to complete fusion with the
[>eoples among whom they are dispersed,
osiug every remnant of a distinctive con?
sciousness as Jews, or are there in the
breadth and intensity with which the
feeling of separatedness. or what we may
call the organized memory of a national
consciousness, actually exists in the
world-wide Jewish communities?the
seven millions scattered from east to
west?and again, are there in the politi?
cal relations of the world, the conditions
present or approaching for the restora?
tion of a Jewish State planted on the old
ground as a centre of national feeling, a
source of dignifying protection, a special
channel for special energies which may
contribute some added form of national
genius and an added voice in the council
of the world.
They are among us everywhere; it is
useless to say we are not fond of them.
Perhaps we are not fond of proletaries
and their tendency to form unions, but
the world is not therefore to be rid of
them. If we wish to free ourselves from
the incouveniences that we have to com
Jlain of, whether in proletaries or in
ews, our best course is to encourage all
means of improving these neighbors who
elbow us in a thickening crowd; and of
sending their incommodious energies
into beneficent channels. Why -are we
so eager for the dignity of populations
of whom perhaps we have never seen a
single specimen, and of whose history
legend or literature we have been con?
tentedly ignorant for ages, while we
sneer at the notion of a renovated na?
tional dignity for the Jews, whose ways
of thinking and whose very verbal forms
are on our lips in every prayer which we
end with an Amen? Some of us consider
this question dismissed when tbey have
said that the wealthiest Jews have no de?
sire to forsake their European palaces
and go to live in Jerusalem. But in a
return from exile, in the restoration of a
people, the question is not whether cer?
tain rich meu will choose to remain be?
hind, but whether there will be found
worthy men who will choose to lead the
return. Plenty of prosperous Jews re?
mained in Babylon when Ezra mar?
shalled his band of forty thousand and
began a now glorious epoch in the histo?
ry of his race, making the preparation
for that epoch in the history of the
world which has been held glorious
enough to be dated from forevermore.
The hinge of possibility is simply the
existence of an adequate community pf
feeling as well as widespread need in the
Jewish race, and the hope that among its
f jer specimens there may arise some men
of instruction and ardent public spirit,
some uew Ezras, some modern Macca?
bees, who will know how to use all fa?
voring outward conditions, how to tri?
umph by heroic examples over the indif?
ference of their fellows and the scorn of
their foes, and will steadfastly set their
faces towards making their people once
more one among the nations.
Formerly evangelical orthodoxy was
prone to dwell on the fulfillment of
Srophecy in the "restoration of the
ews." Such interpretation of the
prophets is less in vogue now. The
dominant mode is to insist on a Chris?
tianity that disavows its origin, that is j
not a substantial growth having a genea?
logy, but is a vaporous reflex of modern
notions. The Christ of Matthew had the
heart of a Jew: "Go ye to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel." The Apos?
tle of the Gentiles had the heart of a
Jew: "For I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my breth?
ren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,
who are Israelites, to whom pertaiueth
the adoption and the glory, and tho cov?
enants, and the giving of the law, and
the service of God, and the promises,
whose are the fathers and of whom as
concerning the flesh Christ came."
Modern apo3tles extolling Christianity
are found using a different tone; they
prefer the medireval cry translated into
modern phrase. But the mediaeval cry,
too, was in substance very ancient?more
ancient than the days of Augustus. Pa?
gans in successive ages said: "These
people are unlike us and refuse to be
made alike us; let us punish them." The
Jews were steadfast in their separateness,
and through that separateness Christiani?
ty was born. A modern book on Liberty
has maintained that from the freedom
of individual men to persist in idiosyn?
crasies the world may he enriched. Why
should we not apply this argument to
the idiosyncrasy of a nation and pause
in our haste to hoot it down ? There is
still a great function for the steadfastness
of the Jew; not that he should shut out
the utmost illumination which knowl?
edge can throw on his national history,
but that he should cherish the store of
inheritance which that history has left
him. Every Jew should becouscious that
he is one of a multitude possessing com?
mon objects of piety in the'immortal
achievements and immortal sorrows of
ancestors who have transmitted to them
a physical and mental type strong
enough in faculties, pregnant enough
with peculiar promises, to constitute a
new beneficient individuality among the
nations, and by confuting traditions of
scorn nobly avenge the wrong3 done to
their fathers.
There is a sense in which a worthy
child of a nation that has brought forth
illustrious prophets, high and unique
among the poets of the world, is bound
by their visions.
Is bound?
Yes; for the effective bond of human
action is feeling, and the worthy child
of a people owning the triple name of
Hebrew, Israelite and Jew feels his kin
i ship with the glories and sorrows, the
degradation and the possible renovation
of his national family.
Will any one teach the nullification of
this feeling and call his doctrine a phil?
osophy? He will teach a blinding super?
stition?the superstition that a theory of
human well-being can be constructed in
disregard of the influences which have
made us human.

he reaches before death, or his children
do if he does not, so that, in fact, though
there is a sort of moneyed rank, it is
not hereditary; it is accessible to all.

children strut and use the money. The
children in turn inherit pride and go

it does not contain mercury
in any form; it is an innocent prepara?

injury to the most tender infant.
The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver?
mifuge bears the signatures of C. Mc

DR. C. McLANE'S
LIVER PILLS
are not recommended as a remedy "for all
the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections
of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints,
Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of
that character, they stand without a rival.

No better cathartic can be used preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine.
As a simple purgative they arc un-'qualcd.

ful results in South Amsrica where the most ag?
gravated cases of fevar are found, causes from one
to two ounces of bile to be filtered or strained
from fbo blood each time It nasses through the
Liver, as long as an excess of oils exists. By Its
wonderful action on the Liver and Stomach the
HEPATINE not only prevents to a certainty any
kind of Fsver and Black Vomit, but also euros
Headache, Constipation of the Bevels, Dyspepsia
and all Malarial diseases.

Sores, that come from all parts of the country, are
not only remarkable but so miraculous as to be

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, JLe.
Case of Col. J, C. Branson.
Kinoston, Ga., September 15,1871.
Gents?Fsr sixteen yenrs I havo been a great
nutferer from Scrofula In Its most distressing forms.
I have been confined to my room aud bed for fif?
teen years with scrofulous ulccrationa. The most
approved remedies for such cases had been used,
and the most eminent physicians cousalted, with?
out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis?
tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of
Floyd County, Ga., to commence the use of your
Compound Extract Stillingia. Language Is as in?
sufficient to describe the relief I obulned from the
use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an ad?quate
idea of the Intensity of my sulTcrlng before using
your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use of your Ex?
tract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly. "I am
cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct the activo pursuit of my profession. More
than eight mouths have elapsed since this re?
markable cure, without any return of the disease.
For tho truth of the above slat.men'. I refer to
any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the
members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who arc
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obediont servant.,

A MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga., Sept. 16, lRjro.
Gents?My daughter was taken on the 23th day
of .Inn?, 1803, with what was supposed to bo Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, following, pieces of bone be?
gan to work out of the right arm, and continued
to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the
.'boulder joint canie nut. Many pieces of bone
came out of the right foot and leg. The case was
then pronounced one of While Swelling. After
having beeu confined about six years to her bed,
nnd the ease considered hopeless, I was induced to
try Dr. Pcmbcrton's Compound Extract of Stilllu
pla, and was ho well satisfied with its efiects that I
have continued the use of it until tho present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about six
years beforo she sat up or even turned over with?
out help. She now sits up nil day. and sews most
Of her time?has walked across the room. Her
general health is now good, and I beHove she will,
us her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute
her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use
of your Invaluable medicine.
With gratitude, I am yours truly,
