BRAIN SUEGEBY.
Fluhrer's Remarkable Operations at
Uellevno Hospital.
New York World, May 23.
Professor Fluhrer of the visiting sur?
gical staff of Bellevue Hospital yesterday
presented to a large gathering of medi?
cal gentlemen, among whom were Profs.
Lewis A. Sayre, A. Post and Charles
Mittendorf, Drs. Anderton, Putnam,
Jacobi and others, the most remarkable
case of successful surgieal operation of
? the brain that overcame under tbe obser?
vation of a Burgeon aud which still
remains unexplained from the fact tbat
the patient recovered and is at present
enjoying the best of health.
The case has no parallel in the annals
of medical literature and until it present?
ed itself the most eclectic surgeon would
have doubted the possiblity of introduc?
ing the knife into the brain without fatal
results. . ' ? \
The patient, Bruno Kuorr, who yester?
day sat in the amphitheatre of tbe hos?
pital in the centre of a group of intensely
interested physicians, who carefully ex?
amined his head, which was a mass of
scars, showings "Where the bone was^cutr"
out, has a remarkable history. He is a
well-formed young man, and were it not
for his much-chopped-up forehead, would
rbe quite good-looking. He appears to be
of a very affectionate disposition, which
is the cause of his strange wound. On
the evening of January 23 last, as printed
in the World-, at the. time, he visited his
sweetheart and asked her to'marry him,
but she declined; he pressed his suit,
but was flatly refused, upon which he
pulled out a revolver and. fired a bullet,
into' hiaVbrain.; The ball entered the
forehead, about an inch and a half above
the eyes, directly in the centre. He fell
to the ground with blood gushing pro?
fusely from the wound. He was supposed
to^be- o^aif, but nevertheless'he was re-;
moved to Bellevue Hospital. Upon arriv?
ing at that place the junior surgeons,
were surprised to find that be was still
alive. Thrpugh*! ?he night tbeyfsaji by
his bedside, intent upon making observa?
tions as to how long be could really, live,
; applying only such simple remedies as
would ease the -3astmoments of a dying
man. But they miscalculated, for-in the
morning they ftnn<3L' him still ..aJfyX.al-^
though unconscious. : Afraid to do any?
thing: upon their own responsibility, they
telegraphed the visiting surgeon, Prof,
Fluhrer, at daybreak, and he came at
once in response to the summons, hardly
snpposi og ha co uld. do any thing for the.
patient.. From certain peculiar surround?
ings, however, he was led to undertake a
most hazardous operation, which he
described to his listeners yesterday while
standing, at the side of the man whose
life he had saved. ?
Finding the pulsaliou of the patient
crowing 'weaker and' life slowly ebbing;'
? he tc ok the most desperate chances and.
resolved t? operate at once. FeeliDg as?
sured the brain was wounded, from tbe
small particles of its substance that
oozed through the hole made by tbe bul?
let, he boldly set- to work, and, thinking
? that lhe could do no more than apply .the
last measures, he dissected off t'ie flesh
'around'the "wound clean to the bone,
holding back the flaps with pins, and
then cut out a disc of the sknll about the
size of a dime with a trephine above the
bullet hole, joining tbe two by chiselling
away the bridge'intervening. On at?
tempting to remove tbe particles of bone
which had been driven npon the brain
matter by the bullet in its passage and
had set up a dangerous condition by
their pressure, he met with a profuse
hemorrhage from one of the large
arteries, which - was cut across its gaffed
edges scarcely to be seen. Two attempts
to canch it up proved futile, and realizing
that death from loss of blood under the
circumstances was a matter of moment
he introduced his finger into tbe wound
and pressed the artery against tbe bone
nrjd lor a time became master of the situ
, ation. The exertion tired him soon and
he instructed his assistant to relieve him
Twhjlci - he again attempted to catch the
end: - After five trials he was successful
and placed a ligature of catgut around it.
The Mittle vessel, however, was tricky,
? and the ligature slipped off, leaving mat?
ters worse than bet?re. Again he tried
it and at last overcome the obstacle by
tying it tightly. Next he introduced a
bullet tipped probe, which descended by
its own weight, about five inches into tbe
brain, when he stopped short and held
it in place. Carefully studying tbe angle
in which it entered he marked a point at
the back of the head where it would if
further pushed come out, and there cut
. off th ree flaps around i t and sawed through
the .bone, exposing the brain coverings
in the rear. There he cot through and
met'with a mass of dark, half-clotted
blood mixed with particles of brain
which floated about. This was carefully
wash id out. - . .
He passed in a probe smaller than tbe
first and felt the .bullet, lodged as it was
in the brain. -With delicate foreceps it
was pulled out through the opening be?
hind. The operation occupied four hours.
A rubber tube was drawn into the wound
through the channel cut by the bullet by
means of which the .septic -matter; was
allowed to flow. It remained there for
over a month until recovery had so far
advanced tbat the patient was declared
out of danger to the surprise of all and
in .conflict with the established rules in
"surgery, i ProT. fRuhrer enUgitened Ws,<
heaters with the treatment after the oper?
ation and presented a chart s"howing the
variations of the pulse, tempe'rature*and
respirations which he obsertedVcd?ring
the progress of the case,, He laid. great
stress upon the difficulty-he had In draw?
ing but several horse hairs which he in?
troduced around tbe drainage tube to
prevent its adhering to the walls of the
wound.
After the most critical stages had
passed it was found tbat Knorr had lost
his memory, powers of speech and was
partially paralyzed, but he has recovered
all his faculties and pronounced himself
as safe and sound as a dollar when ques?
tioned by the doctors yesterday. The
nearest approach of Knorr's case is one
reported by Prof. Detmold of this city,
who about fifty years ago trephined the
skull of a patient suffering from an abscess
of tbe brain, which he located, and. by
trephining the skull, exposed the brain
and opened tbe abscess by cutting into
it, but the patient only survived a few
months, when he died from a recurrence
of the disease.
Yices of Animals. *
Some animals, as a class, are noted for
special vices, and some individuals, no
matter of what class, have individual and
private vices of their own. Dogs, as a
class, are quarrelsome, peacocks are proud,
mulea are reckless, hogs are gluttonous,
foxes are tricky, opossums lie, crows
steal, cats are cruel and selfish, never do?
ing anything out of love for their mas?
ters. When they catch mice, or play,
even, they do it not as a benefit to us,
but for their own appetite or amusement.
They do not, like the dog, make sacri?
fices for men, and bave neither faithful?
ness nor gratitude. While a dog, watch?
ing a piece of meat, will starve rather
than eat it, a cat will steal or lick it
when not hungry. Like the tiger,
which it resembles, it cannot be tamed
or humanitariaoized; whereas, a dog,
like a lion, his prototype, can be. Tbe
cat, as a class, is about the meanest or
morally most wicked of animals, without
one redeeming feature except cleanliness.

the Salt Lake House it was a temperance

there stronger* than butter, but that was

Saved by a Male.
Doctor William A. Hammond, in an
article on "The Will and its Derange?
ment," printed in the Youth's Companion,
tells the good story: One afternoon some
thirty years ago, while stationed at Fort
Webster, near the Kio. Gila, in what is
now Arizona, I conceived the idea of
taking a ride down the canon on a very
fine and large mule of which I was the
envied owner.
The commanding officer, Major Rich?
ardson?afterward a major-general, who
was killed at Antietam?endeavored to
dissuade me from my intention on the
ground that it was not safe for an officer
without an escort to go beyond the limits
of the post, as Indiaus had been seen in
the vicinity within a few days. He even
threatened to prevent me by positive
orders; but finally on the principle,
probably, as he was fond of saying, that
be was "not bound by the army regula?
tions to furnish sensc^oievery rooT'under
his command," I was allowed to go.
..I accordingly- mounted "Juana." as my
mule was called, and with pistols in. the
holsters, and-sabers andT spurs jingling^ I
emerged from the sally-post into the open
country. The road ran through the bot*
torn of a deep and narrow ravine or
canon, to where a couple of "prospect
prs^were washing the bed of a creek, for
gold. My object was to pay them a
visit.
The name Juana is in Spanish the
feminine equivalent ?f Juan, and corres?
ponds to our Jane or Jean or Joan. The
reader may therefore not unreasonably
suppose that my mule was a mare, but if
ho or she has any; such idea, a great mis?
take will be' committed. The animal
was of the masculine gender, big chested,
strong limbed and endowed with greater
powers of endurance and force of charac?
ter than I have ever seen exhibited by
any other of its hybrid species. He
bad, mo'reover, the reputation of being
the most self willed and obstinate mule,
in the country. When he bad once
made-up his mi rid to,a,certain course of
action7 no persuasions-, en treaties', vitu?
perations or punishments bad the slight?
est"' effect, in -'f/a?sing him to change his
determination,. His .former owner bad
given- him bis name. This individual,
a good natured Mexican, had a wife
named Juana, whose will was law in the
-household, and beforerwbom-hex husband
bowed" down *iQ abjYct1 humility." The
poor, enan: to : his jcattor' consternation
found :-bis wife's most striking qualities
duplicated in his mule, and with the.
recklessness of despair he had carried
ou t the .comparison by giving the beast
her name.
Juana cantered leisurely down the
road, snifling the air and tossing his 'head
gaily till, when we had gone about two
miles, be suddenly gave.a,loud snort,
pricked up his ears, and planting his fore?
feet-solidly on.the*ground, came to a
dead stop. Now when Juana stopped in
this, abrupt manner it meant absolute
cessation of forward motion- in the fullest
sense of the expression.. So.decided was
,hi3 inertia on this occasion,, thit,be;sank
down on his haunches, causing his back
to become a steep incline plane, while
his fore legs, straight and rigid, stood far
out jn advance of his body. He had evi?
dently prepared, himself for the struggle'
with his rider, which he seemed to tniuk
was inevitable, but out of which ho cer?
tainly intended'to come" victorious. I
patted him on the back and neck, and in
my most dulcet tones requested him to go
on. He shook his mane and head, and
signified by his whole manner that not
even to oblige me, would he budge a
step.
Finding that blandishments were inef?
fectual, I dug my spurs into his flanks
till my legs ached; but all was to no
purpose. There he stood as firm as a
rock. He did not rear or kick. His re?
sistance was entirely passive, but it was
the will of an apparently unreasonable
brute against that of an apparently
reasonable man. As often happeus, the
appearances were deceitful. I pulled
him ronnd and he galloped back to the
fort as rapidly as his legs could carry
him. tf\ QT \ I : . > ?
The n?xt morning it was ascertained
that at a point scarcely a hundred yards
in advance of where Juana had gained
his victory, some twenty or more Apache
Indians had ambushed the road; and but
for the mule's keen nose and ears and
firmness in resisting an . obstinate man,
short work would have been made of
both of us.
After this Juana was never accused of
obstinacy. Tt was taken for granted that
whenever he declined to do anything, or
perform a particular act, he had some
good reason, perfectly satisfactory to him?
self, for his conduct; and he was quietly
allowed to have his own way.
Honey.
_:
Thousands'and'tens of thousands of
children are dying all around us; who
die "because their ever-developing nature
demand sweetness, crave and: eagerly
demolish the a<roherated~"candies" 'and
"syrups" of modern times. If these could
be fed on honey instead they would
develop and grow up into healthy men
and women.
Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread -and - butter. One
pound of honey will reach as far as two
pounds of butter, and has, besides, the
advantage of being far more healthy and
pleasant tasted, and always remains good,
while/butter.soon becomes rancid and
often produces cramp in the stomach,
eructations, sourness, vomiting and di?
arrhoea. Pure honey should always be
. freely- ; | iised ?. j in every family.
Honey, eaten upon wheat bread is very
beneficial to health. The use of honey
instead of sugar in almost every kind
of cooking is as pleasant for the palate as
it is Healthy for the stomach. In pre?
paring blackberry, raspberry or straw
j berry, shortcake it is infinitely superior.
It is a common expression-that honey
is a luxury, having nothing to do with
the life-giving principle. This is an
I error?-honey is food in one--of its most
concentrated forms. True, it does not
add so much to the growth of muscles as
does beefsteak, but it does impart other
properties no less necessary to health and
vigorous physical and intellectual action.
It gives warmth to the system, arouses
nervous energy and gives vigor 'o all the
vital "functions. To the laborer it gives
strength?to the business man mental
force. Its effects are not like ordinary
stimulants, such as spirits, etc., but pro?
duce a healthy action, the result of which
is pleasing and permanent?a sweet dis?
position and a bright intellect.
Modest Maidens.
Them is an old and very sweet word
which has now gone out of fashion, and
that is modesty. We hear of some girls
being steady and respectable, aud some
girls being "doubtful," or "giddy," or
"rough." We speak of "girls of the pe?
riod" and "fast young ladies," but we
Beldom hear of a,yo.ungjjirl beiugL'.'rnod
est" or "maidenly." My dear girls, old
fashions are sometimes better than new1
We would not have you dull, or sad, or
downcast, looking as if you were afraid
to speak or move! _That is not modesty.
We would have you Tresfi" and joyous,
and innocently gay ; but still we would
have you gentle in your ways, and digni?
fied?yes, dignified in your behavior.
You have each of you a jewel to guard,
as precious to you and far more precious
than the richest gem could be. I mean
your virtue, your character, your honor.
Depend upon it, a girl, however young,
however weak or unprotected she may
be, can make herself respected, if she re?
spects herself, remembering that, as a
Christian maiden, pledges to fight against
all that is evil and serve God, who loves
and blesses the "pure in heart."
(iuard your eyes and your ears, then,
J pray you, from the sound of evil as far
as you can. Never try to know about
wrong things that yon need not know
about. Never listen to bad talk. Never
read a book tbat you would be asbamed
to read out openly. Never allow your?
self in actions tbat you would not wish
those whom you respect to know of.
Never enter bad places of amusement.
Remember God sees everything and
knows everything. Remember, too, that
what is good and true always comes to j
light.
Dear girls who read this, think of these
things, and may God in his great mercy
enable you to "walk in white" amid the
black temptations of the world, that so
you may "walk in white" with him above
in the heavenly country where sin shall
be no more.?The Instructor.

THE HARD-WORKING MAN.
He was a hard-working man, and for a good many years he had been
working twice as hard as any man ought to work.
He said he had a splendid constitution, and that he could stand it.
He forgot that as years passes on the waste of the system is much
greater than in youth, while the repair of it is less.
He became weak, debilitated, nervous, and despondent. He regarded
the future with dread, and said he had worked himself into an untimely
grave. ? >??
But he was not taken to the cemetery at all. Instead of that, a good
friend brought him some Brown's Iron Bitters.
He began to pick up strength. That was what he wanted. Brown's
Iron Bitters enriched his failing blood and put new life into him. It toned
up his.digestive organs so that his food began to nourish him and do him
(rood. Most heartily does he recommend Brown's Iron Bitters. 12

The gentleman who outlines bis case, below is a
niau considerably advanced in life, and is noted
for his sterling integrity. His Postotficeis Yates
rille, Upson County, Ga. The following is
Mr. John Pearson's Statement:
In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very
bad cough, which continued to grow worso until
fall, when I got so weak that I could not get
about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine
but cm;tinned to grow worse. I was notified that
I had consumption and would probably die. Dr.
Holloway fiually told nie to try Brewer's Lung Re?
storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle
and J commenced ttking it right away. After tak?
ing two or .hrec doses, I began to improve, and by
the time I had used up one bottle I was rble to get
on my feet again. I am now in excellent health.
I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my
life and my neighbors are of the fame opinion.
It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin?
ion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to
the man fact urcrs and tell them of the wonderful
cure it made in my case.
Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon:
Early in November, 18S1, while sewing on the
machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in
her side, which wad soon followed by hemorrhages
from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com?
menced, ."he cnuld neither cat or sleep, and In a
few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
The attending physician told mc that be thought
one of her lungs was entirely go lc. She could not
retain the most delicate nourishment on hor atom*
ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family
physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation.
They made a final examination of the patient and
pronounced the case hopel<\^. Dr. Holloway then
suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last
TCsort. I sent for a bottle anu gave her a dose. I
found that she could retain it on her stomach, and
after about the tbird dose, I began to notice some
improvement in her condition. I continued the
medicine regularly, and by the time she bad taken
two bottles, she was able to walk about the house.
She is now in better health than she has enjoyed
for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer
saved her life. We have a family of six children,
some of them grown."
Mr. Ilearndon's PostofUco is Yatcsrille, Upson
County, Ga. He is a thoroughly reliable man in
every particular.

PRING
Is the season in which bad or poisoned
blood is most apt to show itself. Nature, at
this juncture, needs something to assist it
in throwing off the impurities which have
collected by the sluggish circulation of
blood dur.ng the cold winter mouths.
Swift's Specific is nature's great helper, as
it is a purely vegetable alterative ana tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine. Macon, Ga., writes:
"We have been usiug Swift's Specific at the
orphans' home as a remedy for blood com?
plaints, and as a general health tonic, and
haye had remarkable results from its use
on the children and employees of the insti?
tution. It is such an excellent tonic, and
keeps the blood so pure, that the system is
less liable to disease. It has cured some of
our children of Scrofula."
W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga.,
writes: "We are selling large quantities of
Swift's Specific for a Spring alterative and
general health tonic, and with the best re?
sults. It is now largely used as a preven?
tive and cure for Malaria. There are many
remarkable evidences of its merit in this
section."
The Great Druu House of Chicago.?
We do not hesitate to say that for a year
past we have sold more of Swift's Specific
(S. S. S.) than all other Blood Purifiers
combined, and with most astonishing re?
sults. One gentleman who used a half
dozen bottles says it did him more good
than treatment' which cost him ?1,000.
Another who has used it for a Scrofulous-*
affection reports a permanent cure from its
use. Van. Shaack, Stevenson & Co.
One gentleman who had been confined to
his bed six weeks with Mercurial Rheuma?
tism has been cured entirely, and speaks in
the highest praise of S. S. S.
