A young man who was compelled to
resign bis position in one of the pnblio
schools of this city because he was break
ing down with consumption, and who
Las ever siuco been battling for life, al
though with littlo apparent prospoct of
recovery, was encouuterod sovoral days
ago in a Broadway restaurant.
"I see," he said, "that you soora
prised at my improved appearance
doubt von' wonder what could
caused such a change. Well, it was a
very simple romedy nothing but hot
water."
"Hot wator?"
"That's all. You rcmoraber my toll
ing you that I Lad tried all of tho ususl
remedies. I consulted some of the lead
ing specialists in affections of the lungs
in this city, and paid them largo foes.
They went through the usual course of
experimentation wun mo unuer an sons
of modicines. 1 went to the Adirondack
in the summorand to Florida in the win
tcr; but none of those things did me any
substantial cood. I lost ground steadily
grow to be almost a skeleton, and had all
tho worst symptoms or a consumptive
whoso ond is near at hand. At that
iuncturo a friend told mo that he bad
heard of cures being effected by drinking
hot water.
I consulted a physician who had pai
special attontion to this hot water cure
and was using it with many patients. He
said: 'There is nothing, you know, that
is more difllcult than to introduce a new
remedy into medical practice, particular'
Jy, if it is a very simple ono, and strikes
at tbo root ot erroneous views and pre

Tho old school practitioners bavo tried
for years to cure consumption, but they
aro as far from doing it as ever.
"Now. tho only rational explanation
of consumption is t"ut it results ironi ue
fcotivo nutrition. It is always occom
panicd by mal-assimilation of food. In
nearly every caso the stomach is the seat
of a fermentation that necessarily pre
vents propor digostion. Tho lirst thing
to do is to remove that formentation, and
put the. stomach into a condition to ro
coivo food and dispose of it properly,
This is effected by taking wator into the
stomach, as hot as it can be homo, an
hour beforo each meal. This leaves the
stomach clean and puro, like a boiler
that has beon washod out. Then put
into tho stomach food that is in thohigh
est degreo nutritious and the lcutt dis
posod to fermentation. No food answers
this description hotter than tender beef.
A little stale bread may bo eaton with it.
Drink nothing but puro water, and as
ittlo of that at meals as fpossiblo.

Put tender beef uloue into a clean and

eaturo ot consumption, ceases, and re

This reasoning impressed mo. 1 be

new trcutmont, and gained fourteen
pounds within two mouths. I havo
gained ground steadily in trying tiio
climate of Now York; and I toll you, sir,
I feel on a sure way to recovory."
Hero an old gentleman who had been
standing near, and evidently listening to
tho conversation, turned to the teacher,
and said:
"This remedy of hot wator drinking
bus attracted my attention for somo time.
It bus been of imiuonso service in reliev
ing mo of a terriblo dyspepsia that tor
mented mo for many yours. I tried num
erous able physiciuns, and there is
probably no medicine that is prescribed
for such uu ailment which was not given
to mo; but nono of them gave mo any
permanent benefit. But tbo simple
remedy of driukiug hot water, accom
panied by a rationul regulation of my
diot bus entirely cured mo, advanced
though I am in lifo. It was not the diet
ing ulono that did it. I tried that bo
foro. It was tho uso of hot water that
cured mo, for that made it possible to
derive somo benefit from a judicious
diet. I havo also found this treatment
of great benefit in kidney discuses, which
aro largely owing to mal-assimilation of
food."
Tho teacher listened very attentively
to tho old gentleman's remarks.
"I am glad to learn that your experi
ence," ho said, "agrees so fully with
mino. I havo become acquainted with
various cases in which this simple
method of treatment has effected perma
nent cures after all tho efforts of the
physicians had failed. I am convinced,
simply from what I havo seen, that al
most any disturbance of tho human sys
tem that results from disorders of tho
stomach, can bo alleviated, aud, in most
instuuees, cured in tho same way. The
very simplicity of tho thing may cause
some to hesitate about attaching much
importance to it, but, liko tho proper
vcutilalion of your dwellings, it may
prevent disease and affect cures where
all tho drugs uf tho pharmacopivia will
fail."

It was a quiet-looking man with a

"I suppose yon have some wild animal

"Yes," replied the other, shriukiug

"No," answered tho small man, look

"Well, might I ask what you have in

"Certuinly," murmured the man with
the box, looking like the chief mourner

Trying to
Abolish Breach
Cases.
of Promise
A bill to abolish action for breach of
promise of marriage has been issuod
among the parliamentary papers to-day,
February 20 "backed by Mr. Claino,
Mr. Bryce and Mr. Buchanan (Liberals)
Col. Makins. (Conservative) and Mr.
Ileldon (Homo liulnr). It consists sim
ply of ihe following clause. "From and
after the passage of this net no person
shall bo entitled to maintain an notion in
spect of tho breach of promise to mar
ry, provided always that this shall not
apply to any action commenced before
tho passing of this net." The bill intro
duced will, if it pusses into law, bo tho
shortest statute on our statute book.
It contains only ono olauso, which pro
vides that, without prejudieo to existing
actions, after tho 1st of January next
thero shall bo no action for breach of
promise to marry. It must not, howover,
bo forgotten that this would still leave a
remedy for injury under tho ordinary
iws of contract that is, damages will
bo recoverablo for any actual momentary
oss sustained or incurred by tho plum-
ill through tho promise given by tho de
fendant. Tbe object of tho bill is to
abolish the principle of allowing dam
ages to be awarded for disappointment
or grief. St. Jumes Gazatte.
