A THRILLING EXPERIENCE! Remarkable Statement of Personal Danger and Providential Escape. The following story which is attract-1 ing wide attention from the pressis so remarkable that we cannot excuse our- .pIvp. if do not lav it before our zl" readers, even uiougu us pu nv ordinarily preclude its admission to our limited space : Tn fhp Editnr Rochester (N. Y. Democrat: Sir On the first day of June, 1881, I lav at my residence in this city sur- . . . . . i ' i ': rounaea Dy my ineuus m death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never de scribe it. And yet, if a few years pre- a nvnna had' told me that I was to i. u W and hv so terrible a , V I wi nt thp disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommumj strong and healthy, ana weigneu uvw 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my j nwn fixnerience. what pain or sickness U70TA Vrv manv ueonle who will read J t his statement realize at times that they oro nnnsnallv tired and cannot account for it They feel dull pains in various i nnrtR of the body and ao not ..nnroion it Or thev are exceed- ingly hungry one day and entirely I without appetite the next, a mo -iiiot tIio wo v - - . 1. 1 -v.- I I felt when uie ikicuv J WUt Vmv . - 1 L At less malady which had fastened itself ma raf. hpffftn. Still I thOUght nothing of it ; that probably I had taken o nnld which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain in one side of my head'but as it would come one ha crnno. the next. I paid little Uaj mava a-'vy O , . -i it Then my stomaen wmild tret out of order and my food ot on faiiMl to dieest: causing at times ereat inconvenience. Yet.even as a phy- sician, 1 did not tninK mat uicdc mu6 nm'finn- aoriniia. I fancied 1 JUCUUII tllljr limif, v-..- was suffering from malaria and doctor o,l mvsplf nccnrdinelv. But 1 got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color nnd odnr about the fluids I was passing also that there were large quantities nnp. dav and verv little the next, ana that a persistent froth and scum ap peared upon the sunace, anu cu mnt. flAt.t.lfid. And vet I did not real ize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact mat i Via Tin rmin in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been " 30 blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed min eral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. ' btill 1 grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation ; another dyspep sia? another, heart disease: another, general debility ; another, congestion of the base of the brain ; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the svmntoma of man? of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during which time I was steadily grow ing worse. Mv condition had.really be come pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and uvea wnony by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell to the floor and clutched the carpet and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was filled with tube-casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright's disease of the kidneys in its last stages ! While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev, Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St, Paul's Episcopal Church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the man y remarkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his ob servation, by means of a remedy, which he urged me try. As a practicing phy sician and a graduate f the schools, I derided the idea of any medicine out side the regular channels being in the least beneficial. So solid tious, how ever, was Dr. Foote, that I finally prom ised I would waive my prejudice. I be gan itsuse on the first day of June, 1881, anl took it according to directions. At first it sickened me ; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitat ed condition. I continued to take it; the Bickening sensation departed and I was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a de cided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and l experiencedJess pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this im proved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and f riendshould I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for Mie good of hu manity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in ful fillment of that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained 26 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to War ner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I '. Used.'. -r- - - ; , Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe more thin one half the deaths which occur in America are caused by Bright's disease of the kid " neys. This may sound like a rash state ment, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright's disease has no distinctive symptoms of its awn (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds of peo ple die daily, whose burials are author ized by a physician's certificate as oc curring from "Heart; Disease," "Apo plexy," " Paralysis," ' " Spinal Com plaint,"" Rheumatism," " Pneumonia," and other common complaints, when in reality it is from Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few physicians, and: fewer people realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insiduous nature. It steals into the system like a thief, man ifests its presence, if at all, by the com monest symptoms and fastens itself up- on the constitution before the "victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, inherit jng fr0m their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them, instead ot com- nion symptoms it olten shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, m cony apoplexy or heart disease. As one who. has suffered, and knows bv bitter experience what he says, l implore every one who reaas these words not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain agony and probable death will be the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard such chances. I am aware that such an unqualified statement as this, coming from me known as I am throughout the entire land as a practitioner and lecturer, wil f. . . possible ani, mositvo the medical profession and as- tonish all with whom I am acquainted but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can sub- gtantiate to the letter. The welfare those who may possibly be sufferers gucft as l was, is an ampie inducement f0r me take to the step l have, ana it can successfully warn others from the dangerous path m which I once walked, i am wiuing-w wwure an piuicesiuu ana personal consequence, -I 1 J..B.

Different persons have entirely differ ent opinions in regard to taste and etiquette. Some are sticklers for cer tain manifestations of good breeding, while others lay stress upon other and quite dissimilar rules of behavior. For instance: There are men who would be ashamed to eat with their knives, even in private, but who will talk at the top of their voices in the public reading room. And men who, though they would scorn to remain seated in a horse-car fth'le a pretty girl is standing, will throw a banana skin on tho sidewalk, regardless of the inevitable conse quence. And women who are scrupulouslv neat as to their hands and fingers, but who will, nevertheless, persist in wear ing the biggest hat at the theater that they can get hold of. And women who sing like seraphs, and yet will they keen the car. window wide open though they know that it means pneumonia to one-half of theu fellow-passengers, and catarrh and sore throat to the other half. " And women whose conversation is a 1 beral education and perennial delight to the Tstener, and yet their hair pre sents first-class presumptive evidence that it has had no acquaintance wit! comb and brush for a month, at least. And men who never forget to lift their hats to a lady, but who can not b trusted with impunity for a dollar.- : And men who would die rather than eat their soup from the end of theii spoon, but who will lie like Ananias upon the slightest provocation. And men who are scrupulously care ful to sfive a lady the inside of the walk, and yet think nothing of calling upon you at your busiest hour and bor ing you until you wish they were dead. Ana women wno would, never pre sume to help themselves at table until everybody else is supplied, who will nevertheless say the spitefulest things imaginable about their dear friend be- hind her back. - Ana Doys wno never iorget to say "les, sir," and "les'm," but who are taken with sudden sickness the mo ment they are asked to do an errand for their mothers. And girls who do not have to be coaxed to play upon the piano before company, but who will turn around and giggle when a strange man makes remarks about them in the street. And men who would not clean their nails in public, but who will shove s pewter quarter on to a blind man. And men who always say "beg par don" before telling you you lie, and who nevertheless will inevitably fail to remember to pay their butcher bills. And men who would never interrupt another while he is speaking, but who wui advise their best friend to invest in a worthless stock, simply because they have some of that stock which they wish to dispose of. And men who are too polite to look over your shoulder when you are writ ing, who think nothing of registering false oath at the custom-house almost daily. Many more instances might be ad duced, but tha above will suffice to show that we do not all think alike up on tnese little matters of etiquette. Bos ton Transcript. How to Preserve Sheep-Pelts. Where farmers kill but a few sheep during 'the season they can make better use of the pelts than to sell them if they know how to preserve them. For mats take two long-wooled skins and make a strong suds, using hot water; when it is cold wash the skins in it, carefully squeezing them between the hands to get the dirt out of the wool; then wash the soap out with clear, cold water. Then d ssolve alum' and salt,each a half pound.with a little hot water suffi cient to. cover the skins, and then let them soak in it over night for twelve hours; then ha.ng over a pole to drain. When they are well drained spread or stretch carefully over a board to dry. When a little damp have one ounce each of saltpeter and alum pulverized, and sprinkle on the feh side of each skin, rubbing in well; thenlay the flesh sides together and hang in the shade for two or three days, turning the under skin uppermost every day until perfect ly dry; then scrape the flesh side with a blunt knife to remove- any remaining scraps of flesh. Trim off projecting points; rub the fle? h sides with the hands. They also make good mifens. Lamb skins, or even steep-skini, if the wool be trimmed off evenly to half or throe-fourths inch long,,make beautiful and warm mittens for ladies and gentle men, and the girls with a little practice can make them. Cfcicao Times : Hi ; v .Not long since adurable monument of cement was raised on the site, in the Island of Hawaii, on which the famous Captain James Cook fell in 1779. It is the custom among sailors to inscribe their names upon small pieces of cop perplate and nail them to the trees in the vicinity of the monument. If the water in your Washing is hard or alkali, use the Standard Soap Co.'8 Petro leum Bleaching Soap. - Iu effect will surprise you. LATE NEWS SUMMARY Domestic.

It is said that there over 40,000 Irish people out of work in London, and fully one-tenth of them have been discharged since the recent explosion. : English towns of le?s than lf.OO inhabi tants have pcarcely grown at all in the last decade. The increase of ports and sea board towns is much greater than that of fiosei lind. The canal which Germany intends to construct to unite the North and Baltic seas is to be large enough to admit the largest war vessel passing through it. It Is estimated that the work will be com pleted in five J-ears. The Chinese government will, it is stated, make an international matter of the expuM n of the Chinese from Eureka, Cal- a few days ago, and claim indemnity from the United States government for business injury done to the Chinese.

Four hundred omnibuses pass under the marble arch at the corner of Hyde Park, London, every day. The omnibus drivers work sixteen hours ner dav. with four quarter hours for meals, and, unlike the cabmen, have little or no opportunity for tips." If left to itself Sierra Leone will not cro- duce sufficient food to keep its people for six months time, nearly everybody desires to trade: no one desires to till the soil. There are hps in every conceivable local ity, but if an American vessel chances to be delayed a week in arriving there is a great dearth of flour, and even ot rice. 1 MARKET REPORTS. Jrtland.

Major Franke Clarke, senior member of the firm of Clarke Brjan & Howell. Bry an, Texas, committed suicide Sunday by shoo lag. The cause is unknown. He is supposed to have been laboring under mental aberration at the time.. The bank is ia a prosperous condition. Offic r .discovered two negroes obstruct ing the track of the Galveston, Harrisburg pnd San Antonio Railroad, near Luling, Texas, for the evident purpose of wrecking an approaching train. In arresting the miscreants they were killed. Will Adams, a youug man 26 years of age, and Tinte Wilmouth, a pretty 18-year-old girl, weee found . dead Sunday morning at Shelby ville, Ky., with a bullet hole in the temple of each. A pitol found near the bodies belongs to Adams. It is supposed the lovers quarreled. They have a grand opera in Paris which 1,027 girls wear ballet dresses. in HEALTH, WEALTH AUD HAPPIIfESS Are more intimately connected with a sound stomach and good condition of the blood than most pepl suppose. Thin blood means weakness, languor and mis ery. A dyspeptic stomach means all the horrors you can think of. - Brown's Iron Bitters means enriched blood, good diges tion, healthy appetite, sweet eleep and vig orous strength. Mr. Henry Uallam. South Seventeenth ; street, St. Louis, says: "Brown's Iron Bitters relieved me of dyspepsia, purified my blood, and gave me an appetite." Thousands of others testify in the same way. ASSESTIHQ THE PE0GEEES 0? CCNSTJH? HON. In this disease, aa every one is aware, the only hope of the patient lies in the es tablishment ol a higher vital condition. Efforts are made to reach this through out-door exercise, and by various other means for improving the general health which are known to invalids and physi cians. Now, in the Vitalizing Treatment of Pre.
