A Professional , Nurse Afflicted with
firlght'a Disease of the Kidneys
Kinds a Cure.
(From the Buffalo News.)
Mrs. A. E. Taylor has resided In BufTa'o
for over forty years; her address is 280
Herkimer avenue; as a professional nurse
she has nursed back to health many a suf
ferer. Disease In all Its varied forms have
become as familiar to her as to tho regu
lar practitioner. Her occupation Is ono
that taxes the strongest constitution, 'jut
the fatigue of long watching and nuts
Ing at last brought her to a bed of slow
ness. Mrs. Taylor speaks of her com
plaint and cure as follows: "After being
conllned to my bed for some time my dis
ease assumed such a serious aspect that a
doctor was called. He pronounced my
ailment Brlght's disease of the kidneys In
the third degree and a very bad case. My
limbs swelled up so that 1 could not wain
acress the floor, or, Indeed, help myself in
any way. My face bloated up and my eyes
swelled so that the sight was badly im
paired. This condition continued for near
ly two months without any marked im
provement from the doctor's treatment.
I have taken quarts of buchu and juniper.
I triod battery treatment, but all with
out any lasting benefit until I felt like
finally giving up In despair. Hearing cf
Doan'a Kidney Pills I gave them a trial
and after taking three boxes I was able
to get up without assistance and walk,
something I had not done In months, i
continued steadily to Improve with thtdr
use. The swelling In my leg left, the color
returned to my face, changing from a
chalky color to a healthy bloom. I now
consider myself entirely cured and I shall
never rest praising the little pm that
saved me.
"Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly a
surprising discovery for kidney ailments.
I shall be glad to tell anyone of the won
derful cure they performed on me." .'.

FACTS AB01T EARTHQUAKES.
Soma Are Suddon.Othcrs Last for Genera
tions-Thc Canso of These Subterranean
Disturbances Is Shrouded in Mvstcry.
It Is a mistake to suppose that earth
quake disturbances are always over
In a few minutes. In Japan, where a
careful record of seismic shocks has
been kept for hundreds of years, one
series of shakings lasted from the year
745 to the year 75. There was a con
tinuous disturbance of the earth's crust
In the year 977 for 300 successive days.
It is quite common for them to last
from twenty to seventy days. In San
Salvador, Central America, In 1S79,
more than 600 shocks were felt In ten
days. In Honduras, In ISM), there were
108 shocks in a week. At Lima, Peru,
In 1746, 200 shocks were felt In twenty
four hours. At St. Thomas, in the
West Indies, 283 shocks were observed
in ten hours. Perhaps the greatest
number of shocks ever observed In a
given time was In the New Zealand
earthquake of 1818, when they con
tinued at the rate of 1,000 a day for
five weeks.
A big earthquake does Its work quick
ly, with or without premonitory symp
toms. The great earthquake at Lis
bon occurred on Nov. 1, 1755. In five
minutes 50,000 inhabitants were swal
lowed up, whole streets were burled
out of sight, and the whole city was
practically, destroyed. That was not
the only earthquake In Lisbon, for. on
Feb. 20, 1531, 1,500 houses were de
stroyed and 30,000 persons perished.
Between 17S3 and 1857 the kingdom of
Naples lost 11,000 persons threiugh
earthquakes, or an average of 1,500 a
year out of a population of 6.000. Com
pared with these disasters our losses at
Charleston In 18S6 were trifling.
How They Affect Water.
Mountains, valleys and deep sea
channels do their part In stopping the
destructive causes of earthquakes.
When they strike mountalnn they often
exhaust themselves on the far side, un
less the vibrations are running along
a stratum of rock which dips under
the Intervening valleys. When an
earthquake strikes water it shakes It
or piles It up In huge waves which then
constitute the chief tlanger. It is be
lieved by seismologists that Toklo, In
Japan, Is partly protected from earth
quakes by the canals which surround
It. The city of Quito has comparative
ly slight enrthquakes, owirifc. It Is be
lieved, to the canons near by. Some
times we are first made aware of the
direction of a particular stratum of
rock by observing the different points
at Which an earthquake crops out. Per-
naps this may account for the patch of
Brooklyn which vibrated In sympathy
with New 'England in 1871. It may
also, with the deep channel of the Hud
son river, account for the freedom of
New lork from earthquakes, the river
having cut of! the connection between
the upper stratified rocks of New
York and New' Jersey.
tfart'iiquakcs which are v olent at tho
surface of the earth seldom go very
deep. In Virginia City, Nev about
twenty years ago, twenty-four shocks
were felt tn one dny by tho residents on

the surface, while the miners down In
the Comstock lode did not feel them
at all. Utually the heaviest shocks
come first, but this is not always the
case. At Broussa, In Turkey, where a
great earthquake occurred In 1853, the
llrst shock was felt on Feb. 28; then a
heuvler one on'Mare-h 23, and the heavi
est of all came on .March 28.

In Caracas, where earthquakes are
an evcry-day iK-currence, the inhabi
tants have prollted by experience to be
prepared for them. Every one there
has his earthquake coat, made of thick
felt, in which to sleep outdoors, and the
pockets are filled with provisions In
eve of a tcmixirary famine. As the
shocks In that city nearly always como
from west to east, the north Bide of
each houi-e Is called the "laga sceuro,"
or saf side. All the family china and
litcaiiiildes generally are invariably
kept on this sidv of the house.
Nobody knows exactly the cause of
rnuhqtiiikes. (One theory, which was
inns held, but which Is not satisfactory.
Is th.i.t they are Incomplete volcanoes:
that 1, that there Is nn underground
eruption which shakes part of the
earth's - crust without being able to
blow it off. Another theory Is that
water leaks Into vast subterranean
cavities where the temperature Is nat
urally above boiling point, becomes
converted Into steam and tries to blow
Its way out. A third theory Is that the
mineral rrrin.i;!! excavate vast holes in
the earth's interior, which finally be
come so large that tho roof of rock
rails In and stai rs the commotion in the
sntlr.ee rocks. Tho most generally ac
cepted theory, perhaps. Is that the sea
