Easy Cure of Waoopliif Cough.
A medical mau at the city of Aix-en
l'rovence has a sou who had boen sulfer
ing from whooping cough. One day tho
sou told him that at school the teacher
of chemistry had evaporated some
naphthaline and that tin; fumes had im
mediately suppressed tho irritation of
the throat that would have made him
cough. In order to remove the fumes a
window had been opened, after which
the whoopiug cough hud come on again,
i'he doctor evaporated naphthaline by
the bedside of the boy, who felt much
relieved and weut to sleep. Tue next
inoraiug the cough was much better.
The same was done again on the night
following, after which the patieut was
entirely cured of his cough. Then tht
doctor himself was iittticted with a
whooping cough. lie tried the same
means auil was cured on the third day.
lie then proceeded to employ the remedy
and had great success. At a boarding
house thirty persons were seized with
Whooping cough aud liu 1 the naphthaline
vapors applied. It cure 1 all except two

A PAIR OF STEERS FOR THE BOYS.
Ob a medium sized farm a pair of
steers may be raised with no great trou
ble or expense. 80 may colts, indeed,
but the steers will never carry the boys
to the racecourse. Let their training be
the boys' pastime and pride. The steers
will grow up between the boys and the
city. Boys who have a little yoke of
steers, and a little cart, a little sled, and
a little stoneboat, all of their own manu
facture, will not pine to forsake the
farm. Before the boys* are men, the
steers may be great, powerful oxen, well
able to perform a kind of labor always in
demand.—Hartford (Conn.) Times.
A PI.PM ORCHARD.
No doubt a plum orchard will bo a
profitable investment if it is taken care
of as it should be. The trees are set
eighteen feet apart, and some good kinds
are the Lombard, Qreeu Gage, Yellow
Egg, German Prune, Damson, and Jef
ferson, with some others of local reputa
tion. Wood ashes or lime is an excel
lent fertilizer, and to prevent damage
from the only dangerous insect enemy,
the curculio, which is such h persistent
enemy of the plum that it is almost im
possible to grow this fuit unless the
fowls are kept among the trees, or tho
trees are sprayed with Paris green. One
hundred and thirty trees may be planted
on an acre at the distance weatiox.ed.—
New York Times.
nOSEBDO BAIT.
The object in planting spirseas in the
vineyard or garden where grapevines are
growing is for the purpose of attracting
the rosebug or rose beetle. This insect,
as is well known, is very fond of the
flowers of the grape and will soon de
stroy them, and thereby cut off the crop
of fruit; but thev are also very fond of
and seem to prefer the flowers of certain
species of the spirtea. They will usually
desert the grapes, and cluster upon the
spineas if afforded au opportunity, and,
as these shrubs and herbaceous plants
cost little or nothing, we may use them
freely as bug traps or bait, and irom
which the iusects may be shaken daily
into hot water or a little kerosene and
water. The two best species of the
spiiea foi this purpose are the Sorbus
leaved, a hardy, early-blooming shrub
from Siberia, and the Goats-beard, a
native vigorous growing herbaceous
species. There aro also several Japau
species, with line white flowers, and
blooming at the same season as the grape
that may also be employed for the same
purpose, but the two we have named
seem to answer every purpose. —Ameri

HELPFUL HINTS FOK BERRY GROWERS.
In setting out new beds of raspberries
or blackberries cut back tho canes to
about six inches above the surface of the
soil. Throw all the strength in the plant
aud get a good sturdy cane this season
for next year's fruiting. Plant as early
in the season as possible, while plauts
are dormant.
When setting strawberries in spring
cut back the roots one-third with a sharp
knife; this starts a new fibrous growth
quickly. Let the soil be rich and
deep.
Whcu strawberry plants are received
and it is not convenient to plant at once,
let them ri'inain in their packiug of moss
out under a tree or shady place in the
light.
Current cuttings ought to be set so
that the top bud of the cutting is ou a
level with the surface of the grouud.
Prune bearing currant bushes, cutting

NOTEB ON TOE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
Oftentimes very little forethought is
given to the plan of the vegetable gar
den, and yet it is one of the most im
portant considerations connected with
gardening. The great object should be
to plant in such a manner as to facilitate
the use of all horse-power possible.
Very few farmers find much time to use
the hoe, while many of the gardens are
so planted as to admit of no other means
of cultivation. In the hands of many
the hoe is not the best cultivator; it doe 3
not have the desired effect of loosening
the soil, and is often good only in finish
ing up after the plow. For many plantf
the soil needs to be deeply and thor
oughly dug. Frequent stirring prevents
a crust forming, which is so detrimental
to plant growth, it shutting out the ail
from the roots. When too much de
pendence is laid upon the hoe a great
deal of neglect will naturally result.
The weeds get a start, the ground be
comes baked, and in a very brief period
the crop is put beyond recovery, and th<
yield greatly lessened. This taking 8
rainy day to "mind in" a garden will
result unsatisfactory. Soil worked ovei
at such a time becomes baked in clods
and unfit for seeds, or the tender roots
of plants. Too wet to plo"v corn, meant
too wet to stir the garden.
Plants that have been grown in a hot
bed should be transplanted in rows in
the open air before being set out, and
given protection from the sun and drying
winds until they become well established.
By this method of management thoy
grow more stgeky, and make healthiei
and larger growth in the garden.
For most vegetables the long row sys
tem will bo lound best. Tomato plants
ought to have a distance between rows
of about three fest and a half, and two
feet and a half in the row. Some might
think the distauce too great, but with
the large varieties, such as the Acme,
Trophy aud Livingston, the ground will
be pretly thoroughly covered at the
time of maturity. With plenty of room
it is possible to secure large, well-ripened
fruit.
Cabbage needs less room. Rows two
and one-half feet apart in the row for
large varieties will be found a satisfac
tory distance.
All plants of the garden should be so
put out as to make horse cultivation in
part, at least, available.
The value of potting plants to secure
a good set of roots, cannot be overesti
mated. All who have tried it regard
the plan mo3t favorably. Plants putin
pots should not be left too long, for in
that case the roots become cramped, and
that is a detriment rather than an aid to
its growth.—American Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Keep the cattle off the plowed land.

THE SARATOGA MIBAOLE
FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY AN E*«
FRESH REPORTER.
THE FACTS ALRIASY STATED FULL* CON
FIRMED—INTERVIEWS WITH LEADING
PHYSICIANS WHO TREATED QUANT
—THE MOST MARVELOUS CASK
IN THE HISTORY OF MEDI
CAL. SCIENCE.
A few weeks ago an article appeared In
this paper copied from the Albany, N. 7.,
Journal, Riving the particulars of one of the
most remarkable cures of the 19th century.
The article was under the heading "A
Saratoga Co. Miracle," and excited such
widespread comment that another Albany
paper—the Express—detailed a reporter to
make a thorough investigation of the state
ments appearing in tho Journal's article.
The facts as elicited by the Express reporter
nro given in the following article, which ap
peared in that paper on April lfltb, and
makes one of the most interesting stories
ever related:
A few weeks ago there was published in
the Albany Evening Journal the story of a
most remarkable —indeed so remarkable as
to well justify the term "miraculous"—cure
of a severe case of locomotor ataxia, or
creeping paralysis, simply by the use of
Fink Pills for I'ale People, and, in comply
ance with instructions, an Express Reporter
has been devoting some time in a critical
investigation of the real facts of the case.
The story of the wonderful cure of Charles
A. Quant, of (iahvay, Saratoga Couuty,
N. Y., as lirst told in the Journal, has
been copied into hundreds if not thousands
of other daily and weekly newspapers and
has created such a sensation throughout the
entire country, that it was deemed a duty
due all the people, and especially the thou
sands of similarly affl cted, that the state
ments of the case as made in the Albany
Journal, and copied into so many other
newspapers should, If true, be verified; or,
if false, exposed as an imposition upon public
credulity.
The result of the Express reporter's in
vestigations authorizes him in saying that
the story of Charles A. Quant's cure of
locomotor ataxia by the use of Pink Pills
lor Pale People, a popular remedy prepared
and put up by tho Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Morristown, N. Y., nnd Brock
ville, Ontario, IS TRUE, nn i that all its
statements are not only justifle 1 but verified
by the fuller development of tho further
lacts of tho case.
Perhaps the readers of tho Express are
not all of them fully familiar with the de
tails of this miraculous restoration to health
of n man who after weeks and months of
treatment by the most skillful doctors in
two of the best hospitals in the State of New
York —the Roosevelt Hospital in New York
City and St. Peter's Hospital in Albany—
was dismissed from each as incurable and,
because the case was deemed incurable, the
man was denied admission into several oth
ers to which application was made in his be
half. '1 he story as told by Mr. Quant him
self and published iu the Albany Journal, is
as follows:
"My name is Charles A. Quant; I am 3T
years old; 1 was born iu the village of Ual
wny and excepting while traveling on busi
ness and u little while in Amsterdam, have
s|>ent my wholelite here. Up to about eight
years ago 1 had never been sick and was
then in perfect health. I was fully tix teet
tall, weighed 180 pounds and was very
strong. For 13 years was traveling sales
man for a piano and organ company, and
had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of
heavy lilting, got my meals very irregularly
and slept in enough 'spare beds' in coun
try houses to 1 l'eezo an ordinary mail to
death, or at least give him tho rheuma
tism. About eight years ago i began to
feel distress in my stomach, and couauite 1
several doctors about it. J'liey all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was
treated by various doctors iu different
places, an i took all the patent medicines 1
could bear of that claime i to be a cure for
dyspepsia. Hut 1 continued to grow gra l
uuhy worse for tour years. Then 1 began
to have pmi in my back and legs ami tie
canie comcious that my legs were gotting
weak and my step unsteady, and then 1
staggered w hen I walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of patent medicines,
and feeling that I was constantly growing
worse, 1 then, upon advice, began the use of
electric belts, and all the many different
kinds of electric appliances I could hear of,
and tpant hundred* ol dollars tor them, out.
they did mc no good. (Here Mr. Quant
showed the Journal reporter an electric suit
of underwear, for which he paid 112 124.1 In
the fall of 18,88 the doctors a'l vised a c lanze
of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ua., and ,
noted as agent for the Estey Organ Com
pany. While there I took a thorough eleo
iric treatment, but it only seined to aggra
vate my disease, and the only re lief I could
get from the sharp and distreesing p tins was
to take morphine. The pain was so in
tense at times that it seemed as though 1
could not stand it, and I almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In Septeiu
ber of 18XS my legs g.ive out entirely and ui v
lelt eye was drawn to one aide, so that 1 had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble so
affected my whole nervous system that 1
had to give up business. Then 1 returned to
New York and went to the Roosevelt Hos
pital, where for four months I was treated
by specialist* and they pronounced uiy case
locomotor ataxia and incurable. After 1
had been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and Dr. Ware (or four months, they told mi
they ha>l done all they coul I tor me. Then
1 went to the New York Hospital on Fif- j
teeuth street, where, upon examination,they
said 1 was incurable and would not take me
iu. At the Presbyterian Hospital they ex
ainined me and told ine the same thing In
.March, 18t*i, i was ta\eu to St. Peter's Hos
pital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothuig for mean I that »lw
hail better take me back ho ne and save my
mouey. Hut 1 wanted to make a trial of
I'rof. Hun's lamous -.Kill and 1 remained
un ler his treatment for nine weeks but se
cured 110 tieneiit. All this tune Iha I l>een
growing worse. 1 had tieooine entirely
paralw«l from my »aist down au I had
I artly k>*t control cf my hauls. The pain
was terrible; my lugs felt as though they
were 'reeling and iuy stoma h would noire
t.un foo I.and I fell away to 140 pound*.
11l the Allxiny Hospital they put seventeen
big burns ou my liaek one d-lV with re i hot
Irons,aud after a few lays they put fourteen
moiu burns ou and treated llt» with elec
tricity, but I gut worse rather than lietter;
U»t control of my bowels and water, au I,
U|s'll advice of the doctor, who Mid
there was no hope for me, I was brought

I)r. Starr is house physician of the Roose
velt hospital, situated cornir of Niuth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street. In reply to
inquiry he snid he remembered the case of
Mr. Quant very well, and treated him some,
but that he wns chiefly treated and under
the more especial care of Dr. Ware. Ho
said he regarded this case as ho did all cases
of locomotor ataxia as incurable. In order
that our reporter might get a copy of tho
history of the caso of Mr. Quant from the
hospital record he very courteously gave him
a letter of wbioh the following is a copy:—
Dr. M. A. Starr, 22 West Forty-eighth
street, ofHoe hours, 0 to 12 a. til.. New York,
March 31st, 189;. —Dour Dr. Vought: If you
have any record of a locomotor ataxia by
name of Quant, who says he came to the
clinic Bor 4 years ago, No. 14,087, of the O.
D. Dept., Roosevelt, sent to me from Ware,
will you let the hearer know. If you have
no record send him to Roosevelt Hosp.
Yours, STARR.
By means of this letter access to the rec
ords was pcrmittel aud a transcript of tho
history of Mr. Quant's case made from them
as follows:
"No. 14,0:J7. Admitted September 16th,
1889, Charles A. Quant, aged 34 years. Boru
U. S. Married. Hoboketi."
"History of the case:—Dyspepsia for past
four or five years. About 14 months' partial
loss of power nnd numbness in lower ex
tremities. Girdling sensation about abdo
men. (November 29th, IHS9, not improve 1,
external strobismus of left eye and dilata
tion of the left eye.) Some difficulty in pass
ing water at times; no headache but some
dizz ness| alternate diarrhoea and constipa
tion; partial ptosis pa9t two weeks in left
eye.
"Ord. R. F. Bi pep. anil Sola."
These are tin marked symptoms of a
severe case of locomotor ataxia. "And Dr.
Starr said a case with such marked symi>-
tom* could not be cured und Quant, who was
receiving treatment in the out-patient de
partment, was given up as incurable."
] "There never was a case recovered in ths
world," saiil Dr. Starr. An 1 thon said:
' "Dr. Ware can tell you more about the casj
( as Quant was under his more personal treat
ment. I am surprised, he said "that the
man is alive, as 1 thought he must be deal
1 long ago."
Our reporter found Dr. Edward Ware at
i his office, N«. 162 West Ninety-third street,
\ New York. He said: "I have very distinct
j recollections of the Quant cas». It was a
very pronounced case. 1 treate 1 him about
j eight montns. This was iu the early sum
| tuer of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead Iwfore now. lu.agine my
surprise when I receivod a letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he was
alive, was getting well an l expecte I soon to
j be fully recovered."
"What do you think, doctor, was the
! cause of his recovery."
! "That is more than I know. Quant says
he has been taking some sort of pills and that
they have cured him. At all events, lam
1 glad tho poor fellow is getting well, for his
was a bat case and he was a great sufferer."
[ Dr. Theodore R. Tuttle, of 319 West
1 Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
uilebte 1 for assisting courtesies, said of
locomotor ataxia: "I have had several
| cases of this disease in the coursj of my
J practice. 1 will not say that it is incurable,
1 but I never knew of n case to get well; but I
will say it is not deemed curable by auy
remedies known to the medical profession."
After this successful aud confirmatory in
vestigation in New York, our reporter,
Saturday, April 2d, 1892, visited St. Peter's
Hospital, 111 Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
)by Sister Mary Phiiouiena, the sister
' superior of St. Peter's Hospital, and when
tol t of tho object of his visit,said she remem
bered the case of poor Mr. Quant very dis
tinctly. Said she: "It was a very distress
ing case and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn't be cured and had to
go home iu a terrible con lition of helpless
ness aud suffering." The house physician,ou
consulting the records of St. Peter's Hospital,
said he found only that Charles A. Quant
entered the hospital March 14th, 189l», was
treated by Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Dr.
Van Derveer, who was then, 189), at tho
head of the hospital, and that his case being
j deemed not. possible of cure, he left tho
hospital ami was takeu to his home, as lie
supposed to die.
Such is the full history of this most re
markable case of successful recovery from a
heretofore supposed incurable iiisoase, an I
utter all the doctor! had given him up, by
the simple use of Dr. W iHuim.s' I'iuk I'it.s

story of a most miraculous cure of a dreadful
disease by the simple use o( this popular
remedy.

I was afflicted from infancy with Catarrh, and for ten years with eruptions on my face.
I was attended by the liest physicians, and used a number of Blood remedies with no per
manent relief. MY LIFE BECAME A BURDEN TO ME, for my case was declared incurable.
1 saw S. S. S. advertised, and took eight bottles, which cured me entirely, and I feel like
a new person.—Miss JOSIE OWKN, Afontpelier, Ohio.
I was the .victim of the worst case of Catarrh that I ever heard of. I was entirely
deaf in one ear, and all the inside of my nose, including part of the bone, sloughed on.
No sort of treatment benefited me, and physicians said "I would never be any better. As
a last resort I took Swift's Specific, and it entirely cured me and restored my hearing. 1

"What is August Flower for ?"
As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a sj»ecial rem
edy for the Stomach and Liver. —
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, po>sesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and si lls everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing,
auddoes it right. It cures dyspepsia#
