JUDGE FLANDERS OF NEW TORE. The Hon. Joseph R. Flanders enjoys the eminent distinction of being one of the most prominent lawyers in New York. Born and brought up in Malone, Franklin county, on the edge of the Adirondack re gion, ne. early devoted ...himself to the practice of law. and toolc an active part in the politics of the State. He was for years Judge, in Franklin county; and he served with distinguished ability several terms in the legislature 01 Aew xorK. He was for a long time in partnership, in the practice of law, with the Hon. W. A. Wheeler, who was Vice-Jfresident of the United States, during the Presidency of Mr. Hayes. Judge Flanders was a mem ber of the famous committee appointed about thirty years ago to revise the Con- stitution of the State of JNew lorfc. lie always has been a staunch and fearless ad vocate of temperance reform, and of purity in political affairs. During the controversy which led to the war. he was conspicuous for his consistent and forcible advocacy of "State rights, always taking the ground of the statesman and jurist, and not affil iating with the demagogues or noisy polit ical charlatans on either side. In his present appearance J udge Flan- der's countenance gives no indication of the remarkable physical experience through which he has passed. No one would suppose, from seeing him busily at work in his law office, a cheertui, hearty and well preserved, elderly gentleman, that he was for many years a great suf ferer. and that his emancipation from slavery to severe disease was a matter of only recent . date. But even so it is. Visiting him a few days ago in his well appointed law offices in Temple court, which is one of the new twelve-story of fice buildings of the metropolis, we found him disposed to engage in conversation regarding his illness and his complete re storation to : health. The information which he communicated in regard to this extraordinary ease was substantially as follows "For many years I suffered from weak digestion and the dyspepsia consequent upon it. My health was not at any time since I was twenty-one years of age, vig orous; although by persistence and close application I nave been able in most of the years to perform a large amount of work in my profession. Gradually I de clined into a state of physical and nervous prostration, in wt ich work became almost an impossibility. In 1879 I was all run down in strength and spirits. Energy and ambition had entirely departed. That summer I went to Saratoga, and took variety of the waters, under the direction of one of the resident physicians. But instead of receiving any benefit I grew weaker and more miserable all the time was there. "In September I returned to New York in a very reduced state. I was incapable of work and hardly able t leave the house. Soon after my return I suffered a violent chill, which prostrated me to the last degree. But under medical treatment I gradually rallied, so that in the course of the winter and spring I managed to do a little work at my office in my profession During this time, however, I was subject to frequent fits of prostration, which kept me for days and weeks at a time in the house. "So I kept on until the summer of 1882 I tried a variety of medicaments which kind friends recomended, and was under the care of several physicians from time to time. In the latter part of the summer I went to Thousand Islands, where I staid several weeks with friends. But I found the atmosphere did not agree with me Soon 1 had a chin; not a severe one, yet in my state it added to my weakness and general discomfort. Several days after this I had another chill, which totally prostrated me. "As soon after this as I was able to travel, I went to Malone, my old Franklin county home, intending to stay for awhile among relations and friends, and to con suit my old family physician. But I found that he was away in the White Mountains with Vice-President Wheeler, my old friend and former law partner. They did not return to Malone until three days be fore I left there. Of course I consulted the physician. He neither said nor did much forme. I came away, feeling that the bat tle of life was nearly ended. The next time I saw Mr. Wheeler in New York, he told me that the doctor had said to him that he never expected again to see me alive. When I arrived at home in Septem ber. it was in a state of such exhaustion that I was unable to leave home except on bright and sunshiny days; and then only to walk slowly a block or two. "Meanwhile mv son. who had been in Massuchusetts, made the acquaintance of a country postmaster in that State, an elderly gentleman, whose prostration seemed to have been as great as my own, or nearly so. This gentleman had been taking the Compound Oxygen Treatment, ana naa received from it the most sur prising advantage. My son wrote fre quently, and urged that I should try this treatment. But I had lost all faith in remedies. I had tried many things, and had no energy to try any more. But in September my son came to New York, and persuaded me to visit Dr. Turner, who is in charge of Dr. Starkev & Palen'i office in New York for the Compound Oxy gen Treatment. My going there was not because I had any faith in this treatment, but to gratify my son's kind importunity When Dr. Turner examined my case, he thought I was so far gone that he hardly dared to express the faintest hope. "On the seventh of October I commenced taking the treatment. To my great sur prise I began to feel better within a week, in a month, I improved so greatly that was able to come to my office and do some legal work. 1 then came to the office reg ularly except in bad weather. On the nineteenth of December a law matter came into my hands. It was a compl; cated case, promising to give much trou ble, and to require very close attention. had no ambition to take it, for I had no confidence in my ability to attend to it. consented, however, to advise concerning 11, ana to ao a little work. Une complica tion after another arose. I kept working at it all winter and int the spring. For three months this case required as contin uous thought and labor as I had ever be stowed on any case in all my legal experi ence. Yet under the constant pressure and anxiety I grew stronger, taking Compound Oxygen all. the time. In the spring, to my astonishment, and that of my friends, I was as fit as ever for hard work and close aplication. "My present health is such that lean without hardship or undue exertion at tend to the business of my profession as of old. I am regularly at my office in all kinds of weather, except the exceedingly stormy, and even then it is seldom that I am housed. My digestion is good, my sleep is as natural and easy as it ever was, and my appetite is as hearty as I could de sire. "A remarkable feature of my case is the hopelessness with which Dr. Starkey viewed it at the outset. ; It was not brought to his personal attention until after, in Dr. Turner's care, I had begun the treatment. Then my son wrote to him, setting forth my condition, and ask ing him to interest himself individually in endeavors for my benefit. Dr. Starkey replied that he had. carefully examined the case, as set before him, and that there was evidently nothing that could be done. He saw no possible chance of my being made better, and doubted if I could even be made more comfortable; 'I am very sorry, he wrote, feo give such a hopeless prognosis, but conscientiously I can give no other.' WThat would Dr. Starkey have said, had he then been assured that In less than a year from the time of his writing I should oe thoroughly restored to as good health as ever I had, and that I should be able to attend regularly to the arduous du ties of my profession? "Do I still continue to take the Treat ment? No: not regularlv. for mv svstem is in such a condition that I do not need it. Once in awhile, if I happen to take cold, I resort "-"to the Treatment for a few days, and always with certain and benefi cial effect. ' "My confidence in theTestorative power of Compound Oxygen is complete; as also it is in the ability and integrity of Drs. Starkey & Palen, and of Dr. Turner, who is in charge of their New York Depository; otherwise I should not allow my name to be used in this connection. I have thus freely made mention of the history ot my case as a duty I owe of rendering possible service to some who may be as greatly in need of physical recuperation as I was." From the above it would seem that even the most despondent invalids and those whose condition has been supposed to be beyond remedy, may take courage and be of cheer, x or the most ample ae- tails in regard to Compound Oxygen, ref erence should be made to the pamphlet is sued by Drs.

Miracle that Took Place In Our Midst Unknown to the JPnbllc The Details in Fall. (Detroit Free Press.) One of the most remarkable occurrences ever given to the public, which took place here in our midst, nas just come wuui knowledge and will undoubtedly awaken as much surprise and attract as great at tention as it has already in newspaper cir cles. The facts are, briefly, as follows: Mr. William A. Crombre, a young , man fnrmrlv residing at Birmingham, a sub urb of Detroit, and now living at 287 Michi gan Avenue in this city, can truthfully sav that he has lookea into tne luiure world and vet returned to this. A repre sentative of this paper has interviewed him upon this important subject and his experiences are given to the public for the first time, lie said : "I had been having most peculiar sensa tions for a long while. My head felt dull and heavy; my eyesight did not seem so clear as formeriv: my appetite was uncer tain and I was unaccountably tired. It was an effort to rise in the morning and vet I could not sleep at night. My mouth tasted badly; I had a faint all-gone sensa tion in the pit of my stomach that iooa did not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt cold and clammy. 1 was nervous and urn table, and lost all enthusiasm. At times my head would seem to whirl and my heart palpitated terribly. I had no energy, no ambition, and I seemed indifferent of the present and thoughtless for the future. tried to shake the ieenng on ano persuaae myself it was simply a cold or a little ma laria. But it wouM not go. 1 was deter mined not to give up, and so time passed along and all the while 1 was getting worse. It was about this time that 1 no ticed I had begun to bloat fearfully. My limbs were swollen so that by pressing my fingers upon them deep Impressions would be made. My face also began to enlarge, and continued to until I could scarcely see out of mv eyes. One of my friends, de scribing my appearance at that time, said: It is an animated sometnina, but 1 snouid like to know what.' In this condition I passed several weeks of the greatest agony. "Finally, one Saturday night, the misery culminated. X ature could endure no more, I became irrational and apparently msen sible. Cold sweat gathered on my fore head: mv eyes became glazed and my throat rattled. 1 seemed to be in another sphere and with other surroundings. knew nothing of what occurred around me, although I have since learned it was considered as death by those wno stooa by. It was to me a quiet state, yet one of great asronv. I was helpless, hopeless and pain was my only companion. I remember trying to see what was beyond me, but the mist before my eyes was too great. I tried to reason, but I had lost all power. I felt that it was death, and realized how terri ble it was. At last the strain upon my mind gave way and all was a blank. How long this continued I do not know, but at last I realized the presence of friends and recognized my mother. I then thought it was earth, but was not certain. I gradu ally regained consciousness, however, and the pain lessened. I found that my friends had, dunngimy unconsciousness, oeen giv ing me a preparation I had never taken be fore, and the next day, under the influence of this treatment, the bloating began to disappear and from that time on I steadily improved, until to-day I am as well as ever before in my life; have no traces of the terrible acute Bright's disease, which so nearly killed me, and all through the wondertul instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy that brought me to life after 1 was virtually in another world, " You have had an unusual experience Mr. Crombie," said the writer who had been breathlessly listening to the recital " Yes, I think I have," was the reply, ." and it has been a valuable lesson to me I am certain, though, there are thousands of men and women at this very moment who have the same ailment which came so near killing me, and they do not know it. I believe kidney disease is the most decept ive trouble in the world. It comes like a thief in the night. It has no certain symp toms, but seems to attack each one differ ently. It is quiet, treacherous, and allihe more dangerous. It is killing more neoDle to-day, than any other complaint. If I had the power I would warn the entire world against it and urge them to remove it from the system before It is too late. One of the members of the firm of White head & Mitchell, proprietors of the Bir mingham Eccentric, paid a fraternal visit to this offlce yesterday, and In the course of conversation, Mi . Crombie's "name was mentioned. "I knew about his sickness,"' said the editor, "and his remarkable recovery, had his obituary all in type and announced in the h.ccentrxc that he could not live un til its next issue. It was certainly a most wonderful case. Rev.-A. R. Bartlett, formerly pastor of theivi. . Uhurch, at .Birmingham, and now of Schoolcraft, Mich., in response to a telegram, replied : "Mr. W. A. Crombie, was a member of my congregation at the time of his sick ness. The prayers of the church were re quested for him on two different occasions l was with him the day he was reported by his physicians as dying, and consider his recovery almost a miracle." No one person in a million ever comes so near death as did Mr. Crombie and then recover, but the men and women who are drifting teward the same end, are legion. To note the. slightest symptoms, to realize their significance and to meet them in time by the remedy which has been shown to be the most efficient, is a duty from which there can be no escape. They are fortu nate who do this; they are on the sure road to death who neglect it. - : THE GREAT 1 V- ..CURES.-..--.-. Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, Backache, Headache, Toothache, i .
