Is Thero a Hidden Cam For AToct Suffering? A Carefal Iavoill- gatlon. The inhabitants of Boston and New England have been considerably awakened the past week over some important facts which have come out in articles in the papers as to the real cause of most modern diseases. Ever v one has known that there has been some mysterious cause for unex plained suffering that even the doc tors could not account for. A hidden disease has been shown to be the real cause of most so-called pneumonia, convulsions, apoplexv. etc. If this is true, it is of greatest importance that we understand it thoroughly. With this end in view, a representative of this paper has col lected facts from various sources which are given herewith. Dr. J. H. Cutler. r who resides at 20 reporter and Poplar street, said : doctor. "I have, in com mon with all physicians, observed the alarming increase of kidnoy diseases leading to that fearful scourge.Bright's disease, and have been constantly seeking for the proper means of meet ing it. i nave been prescribing Hunt's Remedy for a great many of my patients with great success. I also administered it to my mother, and with much benefit." Mr. Samuel Littlefield, 1482 Wash ington street, said: "I was troubled with kidney disease for years, which finally turned to gravel. I would be free from suflering for a long while, and then have the most terrible pains in my back, I also had inflammation of the worst kind in my bladder, and I was altogether in a fearful condition. I went to several physicians, but all to no purpose, .and I found I was growing very feeble. A friend in Maiden urged me to use Hunt's Rem edy. He had been cured of gravel and liver complaint by its use, and be lieved it would help me. Well, its effect was wonderful, and I cannot too Jiighly thank my friend for the timely recommendation he made. I wish I could make every one know and understand what a valuable med icine it is." Mrs. William Gray, 141G JCremont street, said: "I was troubled with kidney disease for a number of years, at times being so bad from swollen limbs and pains in the back that I was completely under the doctor's care. I received only temporary benefit until I began using Hunt's Remedy, which cured me entirely, and I cannot say too much in its favor." Captain Joseph L. Hayden, con nected with the Walworth Manufac turing Company, residing at 924 East Fourth street, South Boston, cpoke n t'he fiigfietf terms of Hunt's V i5 Kemedy. "Many jSrL i Enfield, Mas s J "-"-. " have used it with unusual results, and would not be without it. I em ployed it in my family when other remedies had Jiroved wholly use 8ss, and it was remarkable in its results. It complete- well without ; ly cured my wife of dying wrruis, pain in the back." Mr. H. Burney, baggagemaster of the Eastern Baifroad, declared that he had used Hunt's Remedv in his family for a long time, and would not pt witnout it. He had not only found it good for Kidney complaints (a trou ble with which all railroad men are more or less afflicted) but his wife had used it successfully in a severe case of what was, apparently, dys pepsia. The uniform testimony which was given to the worth of this Remedy in BoBton was borne out by equally strong statements from residents in the suburbs. Sir. Joseph G. Bicknell of Cam bridgeport asserted that he had been a great sufferer. The fluids he passed were thick with brickdust sediment, and were voided with the greatest pain. "Within four days from the time he began using Hunt's Remedy he passed a gravel stone lareer than a pea, followed by other smaller ones. A speedy cure Was the result, and he cannot recommend the remedy too highly. Mr. George P. Cox, proprietor of the last factory at Maiden, had seen such wonderful e'fiects of Hunt's Rem edy among so many of his relatives and friends that he was enthusiastic in its favor. He had not only used it himself with the greatest benefit, but two cousins, William W. and John F. Cox, had experienced untold relief. He would not be without it if it cost 5 a bottle. Such statements lead us to the in evitable conclusion -that, while Bright's disease of the kidneys is the concealed and actual cause of many complaints which bear other names it can be both met and cured. Let ill readers look to their condition at once, and thoroughly convince them selves whether they are or are not in perfect health, and then use that means which has been proven, and is known to be both pure, efficient, and good. j 1v3lfr& TRIAL BY THE HOPE. A Striking-Incident of the Early An nals of Astoria. In Hubert Howe Bancroft's latest volume of his "Pacific States," the reader will find the most thorough and comprehensive record jof the popular tribunals of the Pacific coast that has yet been published. From this interesting and valuable work we glean the following little incident as but a sample'of scores of a similar char acter contained therein: "Sometime in December, 1853, an Irishmau in the service of Gen. Adair, collector of customs at As toria, robbed the safe of three thousand dollars. The collector had left his. office for a few mo ments, with the key in the safe; the Irishman was there at the time, and there could he no doubt that he took the mouey. Accused of the theft, however, Pat strongly denied it. As there were no wit nesses in this instance, he regard ed a lie well adhered to us much better than the truth. What should be done? The law could not make him disgorge, for first the offence must be proved, though there was, perhaps, circumstantial evidence sufficient for that; but then Pat could afford to lie in prison some time for three thou sand dollars. Butler Anderson was there at the time, and he told the collector that he would man age it. Taking with him a num ber of assistants, he conducted the Irishman a short" distance into the woods, tied a rope round his neck and threw one end of it over a limb, dug'a grave, drew over the culprit's face ac black cap, and then told him to say his prayer?, if so great a thief as he without a priest could pray. Pat was scep tical as to the sincerity of their in tentions, and when Anderson in timated that information as to the whereabouts of the money might stay proceedings, Pat felt sure that he was safe, and protested his innocence more loudly than ever. 'The thing must be done,' said Anderson. 'Hoist away, boys!' And up went the Irishman. 'Stop!' cried Anderson. 4Let him down .a moment.' When Pat could balance him self upon his feet Anderson akl him, 'Are you sure you cann.: i 1 us where the money is?' 'Oh, Jasus!' cried Pat; 'Oh, holy mither of God! I'm sthrang led! As 1 hope to be s-ivoil, 1 know nothing of the money. Oh, please, Mr. Anderson, let me o!' 'No use,' said Anderson, as il talking to himself; 'I thought per hapsthe might like to live. String him up again.' Again Pat's feet left the firm earth; again that horrible sensa tion; thick blackness, phosphores cent light, the hot blood lushing in torrents to the brain, an uncer tainty as to -whether the neck was yet unbroken all this, as the Hi bernian went up and down again. The joke was becoming serious to the sufferer. Even if they did not mean it the lun was not pleasant; and then they might hold him up a moment too long. Already he had thojght much of his mother ana sister, wnom ne nau uupeu iu make rich in the sweet Emerald Isle; already his neck and head felt very queer, and so hot and heavy and sore. And then his soul. To go heuce a thief un shriven, what would become of him? He would -not risk it a third time foe three thousand dol lar?. So he"told Anderson where he had hidden"it,and was released from the hempen remedy." Labor Hear "Walla Walla.

A French journalist stationed at Berlin, who is now in London, says mat tne correspondents there are absolute ly forbidden to send out any real news about the German emperor's condition. He says he is growing worse in spite of official bulletins nf his improvement. This French journalist is a member of the French reserve corps. a.c leit lor Paris to-dav and his military leave of absence is so worded that he can have forty-eight hours in which to reoort for duty. This journalist, who is a representative aC Denin OL U iuuubuiwi a una newspaper, says: "I believe that war between France and Germany will break out by the first of next October The Germans all be lieve in war, and in my judgment are going to force one." This same correspondent says that Von Moltkessaid only the other day that he believed that all Europe is upon the eve of a general war. The conflagration such as prevailed in 1815, and that the situation is now similar to that, when the country was burdened with an enormous army, and all were able to get on a peace footing only through a general war.
