THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Is There toy Hope? NRW ANN lUfOHTANT OPINIONS 01' l'DL MONAIIT EXPERTS 1 tt$ TUB UNIVERSAL CONSUMPTION IIP. BUCGKSSPUM.Y TREATED t Dr. Uorgootj, n lending French doc tor, has n now treatment for oonaump tlon 1 Ho gives nn oncmn of carbonlo nciil nnd sulphuretted hydrogen gnscs, tho latter gas carrying tho former Into every part of tho throat nnd lungs. This treatment, too, is directed nt effects tho cause remains undisturbed. What this causd it bos been stated by 'perhaps tho highest pulmonary authority in tho world, t. e, , the Urompton Hospital for Consumptives, in London, Eng. This malady every year carries off from ono-soventh to ono-Gfth ot tho en tire population of Knglnnd 1 Dr. Payne, M. D., M. II. 0. P., Lon don, is authority for this statement. Tho samo or a greater proportion of deaths obtains in America. Dr. Pay no also says that one-half the total number of deaths from nil other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only requiro some irritant to dovolop I Dr. Hermann lirehmcr, an eminent German authority, says that consump tion .is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood. These authorities cannot be disputed. Tho medical world recognizes them. Tho nrio acid is tho irritant in tho blood that causes the development of tho seeds which Dr. Brehtner says lie dormant in the blood. Every particle of blood which pass es through tho lungs and heart, also goes through tho kidneys, nnd if they nro in the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. Tho thousand little bair-liko eowcr tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up nd diseased ; and when thoy do, they corrupt instead of purifying the blood, Kidney disease may exist, and yet no paid occur in that organ, becanso it ia dencient in nerves ot sensation. Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon festers and is destroyed. Send icid poisoned blood through tho lungs every second, and they soon give way. The Bromptou Hospital investigation showed that 62 per cent, of the victims of consumption were afflicted with de ranged kidneys, which permitted the nrio acid poison to remain in the blood and irritato the lungs. This urio acid is always .fighting every vital organ, and if thcro bo "any inherent weakness in tuo lungs u inevitably causes pneu monia, couch and consumption. The real cause of pulmonary troubles being so authoritatively shown to be faulty even though unsuspected action of the kidneys, explains why, in order to master too dreaded consumption, one must rid the blood of the urio acid irritant which inflames and burns up the lung substance. For this purposo there is nothing equal to that great specific), Warner's safe cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men all over tho world pnrely on its merits. We have no doubt that if the kidneys are kept in natural action, con sumption and a great many other dis eases, caused by urio-aoid, will not only bo cured but will be prevented. When the kidney is healthy, no albu men appears in tho water, but albumen is found in tho water of more than half of those who die of consumption 1 This, then, is the condition of things that always precedes consumption : First, weakened kidneys ; second, re tained urio acid, poisoning tho blood ; third, tho development of diseases in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Then there is a little cough in tbo morning ; soon thick yel low matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh and strength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient goes to his school physician for help, ho is put on cod liver oil which his stomach, weakened also by nrio acid in the blood cponot digest. Because there is no pain present in the kidneys the patient does not think they are affected, but the kidney acid is doing its work every minute, every hour day and night, and by-and-by the dis ease of the lungs has advanced until pus is developed, then come hemorr hages, and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the end is noar ! A post-mortem examination of such cases shows that the terriable urio acid has completely destroyed the substance of the lung. It is impossible to cure lung disease when tho blood is poisoned with urio acid. The Man from Toms Biver. A lot of us were sitting in the depot waiting-room at Trenton, and the only man who had a newspaper was read ing awsy for dear life, when a stranger entered with two satchels and a tall girl, chucked the baggage under a seat, waved the girl to another, and walked up to tho man with the newspaper and asked : "Mistor, is there anything in tho paper about our coast defences t" "No, sir I" was the gruff reply. "That's singular. Havo tbey given up the idea, do you think V "I don't know what you mean, sir." "You don't t Why, they've been talking for the last year about build ing forts to protect our coast. I live down near.the mouth of Toms river, nnd I rather expect tboy'U build n big iort there. The way things are now England, Frauce or Germany could de clare war against us and land forces at Toms river before wo had our eyes opon. They'd land right on my farm, and nobody knows tho damage they'd do. Don't seo anything about n fort nt Toms river, eh V "No, sir." 'Well that's singular. If this govern ment expects mo to get dowu behind a rook with my old shot-gun and keep Europo from landing ai that point, it's expecting a lectio too much of one mau. I'd fight to tho death, of course, but tho chances aro that n hull navy could lick ouo nigh-sighted man. So the paper dont t Bay anything. "Did'ot I tell you no, in tho first place t" "S ly I mebhe you don't keer a cop per about coast defences!" exclaimtd tho .wo satchel man, as a red spot ap peared on either cheek. "Not n copper, sir." "I thought so from tho start. You live in Michigan, or Indiana, or Illi nois, and nre tucked away in some holler where tho sheriff can't tiud ye, let alono au invader of our saind sile. Ob, no i you don't kecr.'' "Father l" cliided tho tall girl, as ho half rose, but ho turned on her with: "Mary, you keep shet. I havo alius thought if Kuropo declared war agin us we'd havo plenty of enemies right at horrie, and hero's u case to prove it. Stranger, did you fit in tho last wart ' "None o' your business, sir." "There's his open hand, gentlemen," Bald the two-satchel man as ho turned to the crowd. "When you find a mau who don't keer how noon tho hull of Kuropo jumps on this country, you havo found n man who'd, dig up tho bones of Washington and sell 'em to n junkman for fivo dollars." J)etroit Jce l're. Tue Texas Pan-Handle, If tho truth wero known, tho Pnu Handlo of Texas would bo voted tho political, social and material curiosity of this country, Thero is nothing liko it in tbis country or any other country. It is strictly original, stands out by itsolf and freezes on to its peculiarities with n stoadfnstness characteristic of America in general and Texas hi par- ticular. The political and social condition of things in tho Psn-llnndlo would not bo tolerated by any other Stato but Texas. Tho Pan-Handle is a kind of off-shoot of tho Slate. It does not con sider itself a part of tho commonwealth in Rood standing. The Pan-IIandlo covers a territory about as large as the Stato of New York. It oxtends from tho Indian Territory, on tho north, almost to tho Texas & Pacific railroad, on tho south, and from New Mexico, on the west, almost to tho Fort Worth Sj Denver railroad, on the cost. It is larger than many European countries that sing loud in au international choruB. With in its confines aro mountains nnd for ests, lakes nnd stream, valleys and rivers, iron mines, copper mine?, silver mines, coal mn.es that aro known ot, nnd perhaps much more mineral wealth that is not known of, hamlets, ranches, caves, mesas, mineral springs, steep precipices, Bandy groves, nnd tnauy verdant plains. Tho Pan-IIandlo is divided into fifty threo couuties, but not moro than six or seven of them are organized. Tho people of the Pan Handle have a very supremo contempt for law, and havo not much moro uso for a sheriff or an attorney than they have for a grass burner or a cattlo thief. When the word "law" is used it should be re mcmbered that it applies to tho enact' ments of what the Pan-Handle folks contemptuouslv term tho "Austin law factory." There is an unwritten code in the Pan-Handle, and woo to tho man who violates it. A man must not steal cattle in the Pan-Handle ; neither must ho cut fences, burn grass, fill up wells with earth, break dams, or kill n man in cold blood. Thcro aro less than ono hundred women in tho Pan Handle, nnd they are all good women. There aro no jails in the region, fines aro looked upon with contempt, and the only punishment awarded to those who violate tho codo of tho region is death or expulsion. If a man kills an other in a fight ho has to answer beforo no law court ; Ins right to kill a man in a fair fight is not questioned. If a man kill another by stealth, that is if he steals up behind him and plunges a knife in his back, or shoots him unawares. Judge Lynch immed iately takes hold of the offender, ad ministers rigid justice devoid of tech nicalities or quibbles, or stays of pro ceeding, and if the murder was cold blooded and cowardly the murderer is more certain of being hanged than ho would be in St. Louis, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans or Galveston. If a man is convicted of cattle-stealing beforo Judo Lynoh he is certain of being hanged". If a man is caught cutting a fence, or setting fire to grass he is shot down without hesitation, or, if subsequently arraig ned before Judge Lynch and it is shown on testimony, direct or circum stantial, that he was guilty of the of fense, he will bo hanged. This is about all tho law they have in the Pan Handle. A man must take care of himself. He must fight his own bat tles. If he is not able to. fight, if he is afraid to fight, if ho has any preju dice against fighting bo had better seek some other location than tho Pan Handle of Texas for an abiding place. In fact, the. Pan-Handle might bo de scribed na one vast region devoid of law, defying law, getting along com fortably without law. Here may bo found murderers from Maine, forgers from New York, defaulters from Ohio, fiends from Georgia, horse tinoves from Missouri, deserters from every regiment in the United States army, road agents from California, bullion thieves from Nevada, ballot box stuff era from Illinois, escaped convicts from every stato in tho Union, and fugitives from justice from evory civi lized country in tbo world. In lhe confines of the Pan-Handle a mau is as safe from a writ, from hand-cuffs, from me ciutcn ot a sberitf as if be wero a squatter on a quarter section in the arctio circle. Many men with various prices on their beads in different States of the Union aro now prosper ous citizens in tho Pan-Handle of Texas men who now count their cat tle by tho thousands, whose barbed- wire fences measure, many hundred miles. Of oourse the great maioritv of the Pan-Handle peoplo are uot addicted to ; n. . reminiscence, ne man wno received mail matter from a former homo in an other State is a rarity. But, of course there are exceptions. No doubt many Pan-Handle men could prove that they are wearing the same name now that they inherited from their parents. But it is not considered good taste in the Pan-IIaudle to bo too inquisitive, and the man who persists in delving into the affairs of another mau is almost certain to havo a fight on his hands withont unnecessary delay. Nearly half tho men of tbo region aro known mainly by a niokname. Such appellations ns Curly Bill, Bron cho Joe, Whisky Jack, Poker Dave, Irish Tim, Dutch Henry, Frenehy, Scotty, Fatty, Slim, Keno Miko and Uowdy Jim are among theso frequent ly heard at ranches and other centers of population. The people aro social, hospitable and gcutrous. Tho ethical codo of tho region forbids any inquiry concerning a stranger, If the new arrival wants a job at wire punching or line riding it is taken for granted that it is his intontion to become a per manent residont ; if he loafs around without attempting to secure a job nt wire punching or lino riding it is taken tor granted that it is his intention to become a permanent residents if he loafs around without attempting to securonjobat anything he becomes an object of suspicion. Detectives sorneliiniH have tho hardihood topene trato the Pan-Handlf, but if they should be suspected they aro invariably treated to hospitablo graves. Detec tives nud law ollicers aro not wanted and will not be tolerated in tho Pan Handle. Tho pcrmantnt sojourners in tne region mako no pretenso of denying that they aro thero because of a disagreement with the rules of action prescribed by law in the regions whenco they came. It Is a republic of toler ation, and mind your own business U mo coiutltutlon, Nobody says now "give the plumb ers a rest,'1 but "give the plumbira the rest." They'll get it anyhow. Atlantlo Oity. Ol'ENlNO OK THE SEASON UNDER favor in- A'JLti AUSPICES EXTENSIVE PROVEMENTi Now York Homo Journal, Jatiuarj-iwUi 1887.) Thero is an air of newness nnd fresh ness about Atlantlo City now which no one can fall to recognize Tho car penter and painter havo held tho town einco its evacuation by tho summer army, and havo left thoir marks on cottage and hotel. Two largo hotels havo been lifted bodily from their foun dations nnd moved down toward the beach. In their now locations thoy havo also been enlarged and improved so as to becomo practically new houses. For sovoral years past tho owners of theso hotels nave luunti inemscivcs getting fatlher away from tho sea. Land was being made for them by tho recossion of the ocean, nud ns Ncptuno seemed inclined to retreat, tho lands men determined to pursue, and tho winter guests of theso houses rvill find their quarters overlooking the waves tbis Beason. Another largo hotel baa been com plottlv remodeled and considerably en larged. In all theso improvements tho. latest appliances nave ueen uscu wnicn would enhance tho comfort or contrib ute to tho luxury of tho guests. Trio houses will bo thoroughly heated, and largo spaces havo been set apart for glass-enclosed porticos, wherein the most delicate invalid can enjoy all tho blessings of the glorious sunlight with out exposure to tho wind or weather. Very many of the other hotels havo beou improved and refitted, and sever al new ones hnvo been erected. The cottages look bright and cheerful in their new dresses of fresh paint, and the genial winter Bimlight, bathing all in its brightness, makes tho city by the sea more attractivo than ever. Thero has been no storm this winter to injure tho piers or tho board walk, The board walk is a distinctive featuro of Atlantic City. It is tho common property of all, and it is broad enough and longenougn to accommodate every body. A morning walk over tho boards from Excursion House to Inlet with tho great Atlantio breaking against their supports, and the genial breeze from tho Gulf Stream fanning one's cheeks, will bring the ruddy glow of health to the facea of those who have tried to gain it elsewhere. Tho sanitary arrangements of the city aro now excellent, lhe now sys tern ot drainage adopted last year works very satisfactorily, and over comes the only natural disadvantage the city ever bad to contend against. With an excellent system of artificial drainage, and every essential element ot health-making in location and sur roundings, Atlantio City is certain to win and maintain high rank among the inmous sanitaria ot the world. Not only is its winter temperature .1J :.l 1 l.... ii suiiu, uuiai uuu urigui, uut mere is always a fresh, bracing air which makes out-of-door exercises a positive aengnt. The ccean sun-parlors are also very attractive features of lifo on the beach. These are great glass-enclosed pavilions, built on tho strand, where 'one may sit all day and read or watoh tbo ever-changing waves. In fine weather at midday tho parlors are ex changed for the beach, and here, snug ly wrapped, ono sits in the sand and literally revels in the wealth of sun and air. Thcro aro very few days too in clement for going out, sdow melts as last as it falls, and ram makes no mud. One eats and sleeps in the hotel, and spends one's evenings (there, but the hours of the day, nil too short, are passed in the open air. Tho natural result of tbis kind of living is the tcquisition of health and strength. To the people of New York and the East. Atlantio City is peculiarly at tractive. Even if they are southward bound Atlantio Gity"ia on their way, and a stay of a few weeks will always result in pleasure and benefit. J?rom New York tho express train leaving foot ot Courtlandt and Dts brossts streets at 1.00 p. m., makes direct connection for Atlantio City by way ot Trenton nnd Uaraden. A through parlor car is attached to this trair, which runs through to tho sea in four and tbree-quarttr hours. About February 1st the season was fully opened, and the engagements in advance indicate a very successful winter and spring. Representatives of the best society of all tho cities of the Eastern and Middle.

This question hus not been satUfactorilj answered, but it is certain tit xt theso diseases are uot only the most painful but among the most common, and bomu member of nearly every family in titt land is the victim of one of these dread tormentors. Ladies seem to be ieculiarly liable to ncuralsie attacks, liitli, in the furui of neuralgic headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant oc currence Not until tho discovery of Athlo phoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, anil they were generally con ceded to bo incurable, but Atldophoros has been proved to be not only a certain cure for thc30 diseases, in all their varied forms, but a mt remedy. If, in the use of Atlilophoros, tho bowels are kept freely open, its succe-is is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros I'ills are recommended, which, while providing tho necessary cathartic, will be found to lie n valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Atldo phoros is no experiment, it lias been tcled and has proved its wonderful efficacy. Tho Athiophoroi I'ills were originally prepared as a remedy for use in connection with Atlilophoros, 'for rheumatism and neuralgia and kinlre.l complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, lliey are a certain cure for either of these very com mon and distressing diseases. They have also been found to bean invaluable remedy for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility. They are es pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For disease. of women thev arc invaluable. These pills aro perfectly harmless and may be safely used by adults or children.

BALE BY DlttJGOrSTS An art. vie. tin " ' f.f?Ai.-f A' In Owe of Tiro. How Women Should Aot When their Clothing 18 In Flames, Dr. John Marshall, I K. S., writes as follow" i A girl or woman who meets with this nccitlcnt (of ecttlng ilro to her clothes) should immediately llo down on the door, nnd bo ntiyono who goes to her nssistnnco should instantly, if fiho still lo erect, mako her lio down, or, If needful, throw her down into a horizontal position nnd kcop her in it. Sparks fly upwards nnd ilatuori ascend with great rapidity, nnd, as a result well known tooxiieits, tho fatality of disfigurement in theso lamentable, cases is duo to tho Ixirim inflicted about tho body, neck, face, and head, and not. to injuries of tho loner limbs. Now tho very moment that tho person wIiomi clothes aro on fire is in a horizontal position on a flat sm face tho llamen will still ascend, but only tlio air nnd not tho flames eneirclo their victim. Timo is thus gained for furthf r action and in such a crisis in a tight against n lire a few seconds aro preciou.", nay priceless. Once in a prono position, tho person so afflicted may crawl to a bell-pull or to n door, so as to clutch at one or to open tho other to obtain help. Tho draught from an open door into tho room would serve, to blow tho flames, if any, from tho body ; or again, still urawling. tho outTerer inay bu able, lo securu a rug or table-clolli or other articles at hand, to smother any rpmniuinir llamts. for as soon as the horisontal position is assumed, they nave no longer much to leed upon, ami may cilbtr ijo out, as tho phrase is or may aocidmllv or intentionally bo ex tinguished as the pei-son rolls or moves upon tho floor. In any case, not only is tho timo gained, but the injury in flicted is minimized, In the oent oi the conditions not being self-help, but assistance from another, if It bo a man that comes to the recoup, havinu first or instantly thrown thu girl down, it is easy lo take olf Ins coat and stifle the diminished flames with this or somo other suitable coverine, tho flatnci playine upward now from tho lower limbs or tho lower pait of tho body of tho prostrate fellow utealiirc. If it bo a woman that rushes to give aid, this last-named condition mgtsts that tho safer mode of rcndei inn it 'a to ap proach Hie. f uflcrc r by lliu head aid fling something ovtr the lower part of the body, for fear of sultincr firo to her self. If, in thcto fearful accidents, tho horizontal position bo as-sumed or on forced, there could be, in short, com parative immunity and limited injury. If not, what must happen ? Tho (ire will mount ; tho flames (and it is these wnicn win do tho imurv) will envelop the body inside nnd outside the clothes ana will resell tho neck and head, and then, indeed, they may be smothered by a coat or wrapper or rur, while tho victim is frightfully disfigured or doom- eu 10 perish. The proper time to bogm watermel on culture is tho year before tho crop is to bo raised. A sward is tho best possible land, since it is comparatively free from insects and at the samo time rich in tho natural constituents of growth. It should be plowed ns early in the autumn as possible If this i-j done miny insects will be killed and the soil will bo so far- rotten by the time the melons aro to bo planted, whether they bo w'ater or niUHkmelons, that the soil may bo brought into per fect condition for tho subaiqueut culti vation. As to this and tho fertilization, the soil for watermelons and cantaloupes should be very light, and although the crop does best when the showers aro frequent, yet nothing is so injurious as to keep them too damp. A wet soil is very unfavorable, and as the roots urow as fast as tho tops, too much working around the plants will not answer. On heavy lamU where tho attempt is raado to grow them, provided tho season is long enourh, a deep hole is dug, stones or tliips put in, and well rotted manure placed over them. The ma nure is then covered with a few inches of rioh dirt and thu seed planted.. This gives thorough uuderJraining, provid ed tho ground is also drainul other wise and permits of thu air and heat entering, tho cold moisture being either evaporated or allowed to pasB below. The plants should bo well worked un til they begin to run. Then only the ground beforo the running vines should be worked, but tho grass and weeds should be pulled out. It has been claimed that by pinching back the vines after tho fruit lias set the melons will be better and larger, but such has not always proved true. Tho best fertilizer is plenty of well rotted ma nure, with n handful of a mixture of ashes and superphosphate around tho ground over which the nla ntH run. about tho timo of the ripening of the iruit. jtarm, meia ami Stockman.
