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. ?Modern Aye. ? When Artemus Ward stopped at the Salt Lake House it was a temperance hotel. He says there was nothing sold there stronger* than butter, but that was real sfirengtby. 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.

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 BLECKLEY, BROWN & FRETWELL Carry the Largest Stock of Goods in Anderson. BUYING them in LARGE QUANTITIES, thus obtaining SPE?

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.

March 13,188-1-35-cow 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.
