Dr. KILMER & Co., BINOHAMTON, N. Y.
—1 do not know how to express my heartfelt
thanks to you for the benefit I have received
from using your Swamp-Root Kidney Liver
and Bladder Cure. lam now 63 years old,
and have suffered almost death for about
three years. I hud given up to die, but as I
profess to be a Christian man and a great be
liever in the prayer of the righteous, i prayed
that God would send something that would
prolong my life, and I feel thankful to Hiin
and you for the meuus that was sent. May
God spare your life many years yet that you
may hear the groat good that your medicine
is doing. On the 20th day of August, 1891,
Mr. Frank Lawson. your agent at Bpenoer.
persuaded me to take a bottle on trial. I
haya taken three bottles and it has brought
out of my bladder lime or gravel, which I

SECOND LETTER.
DEAR DOCTOR —I take great pleasure in
answering your letter, which I received to
day. You say "you would like to publish
my testimonial in jour Guide to Health for
a while." I have no objections at all for I
wont to do all in my power for afflicted hu
manity . 1 send by this mail a Jot of the
Gravel (about one-half of what I saved) that
the Swamp-Root dissolved and expelled from
my bladder.
Two years ago last September I was taken
with pain almost all over me, my head and
back, my legs and feet became cold, would
get sick at my stomach and vomit often,
suffering a great deal from chills and at
times these were so severe that I thought I
would freeze to death. The condition of my
urine was not so bad through the day, but
during the night, at times, 1 had to get up
every hour, and often every half hour.
Woulri urinate sometimes a gallon a night,
then it seemed my kidneys and back wftild
kill me. 1 had been troubled with consti
pation for many years, but since using your
liSwamp-Root have been better than for a
long time. The medicine has helped my
appetite wondoriullv and it seems as though
A could not eat enough.
1 live about six miles in the country from
Gosport. 1 was born and raised here, and
have been a member of the M. E. Church for
i'orty-two years.
Pardon ine for writing so much for I fool
that I would never get through praising your
great remedy for Kidney, Liver and Bladder
troubles. Your true friend,
Those who try Swamp-Root have gener
ally first employed the family physician, or
used all the prescriptions within their reach
without benefit. As a last resort, when their
case has become chronic, the symptoms com
plicated and their constitution run down,
then they take this remedy, and it is just
such cases and cures as the one above that
have made Swamp-Root famous and given
it a world-wide reputation. At Druggists

THE Kansas "wolf-drive" is a groat in
stitution, for it satisfies the natural
craving of man to kill something without
exposing himself to danger, and it is
therefore exceedingly popular. In the
townships of Walnut, Sherman, Grant,
and Crawford wolves and foxes, which
multiply alarmingly fast, have been
driven by the severe cold this winter to
acts of depredation surprising for their
boldness and ferocity. The farmers
have risou up and organized for the pur
pose of clearing the country of the four
footed raiders. Upwards of 4,000 men
engage in the wolf-drive, and they beat
over a tract ten miles squaro. The affair
is conducted with military exactnoss and
discipline. A general is chosen, and ho
in turn picks out his staff and battalion
and company commanders. The signal
for starting is a fusillade of shots tired
by the loaders of each squad. With
1,000 men on each side of the square
there aro 100 men to the mile, or ono at
intervals of about fifty feet. The lines
are supposed to move ono mile each half
hour. Every man has a horn or a drum,
and his instructions are to make as much
noise as ho can. Wolves aro not to bo
killed until rounded up in the common
centre. They may bo clubbed into a
run if necessary. At a distance of ono
mile from the centre tho roport of a can
non announces that tho battle is about to
begin, and tho forces aro aligned and put
in readiness. Only such of the hunters
as are designated by the general carry
iireurms;the others aro armed with clubs
to prevent the boasts from escaping. A
great number of wolves aro often rounded
up, and when the word is given they are
picked off by the appointed sharp
shooters. While tho "drive" is the oc
casion for a good deal of fun, killing is
tho business of the day, and the best
marksmen attend to this.
A STORY of heroism is told among tho
usually prosaic announcements of tho
London Gazette in explanation of the ser
vices for which tho Queen has conferred
the decoration of the Albert medal of tho
second class on George Hoar, boatman
of the Tynemouth Coastguard Station.
On tho occasion of the wreck of tho
schooner Peggy during a severe gale
with a very heavy sea, after four men
had been rescued from tho wreck by
means of the rocket apparatus, tho Cap
tain of tho Peggy informed tho chief
officer of the coastguard that thero was
another man still on board the wreck in a
disabled state, ho having fallen out of
tho rigging on to tho deck of tho vessel
in attempting to get into tho brooches
buoy. George Hoar immediately volun
teered to go off to tho wreck and bring
tho man on shore and was hauled off to
tho wreck, a distanco of one hundred
and fifty yards, through tho heavy sea in
face of a tremendous galo from the
southoast. lie found on arriving at tho
vessel that ho could not roach tho man
owing to tho hawsor having been secured
fourteen foot above the dock (whore tho
man lay helpless and iu an unconscious
state), lie then signaled to bo hauled on
shore again, to confer with tho chief offi
cer; shortly afterward ho was again
haulod off, and on reaching tho wreck tho
hawser was eased so as to allow him (in
breeches buoy) to roach tho man on
deck. As the man was perfectly help
less Goorgo Hoar, with his legs seized
tho man round tho body and hold him
with both hands by his coat collar, and in
this manner tho two men woro safoly
hauled on shore, the soa at tiinos wash

TUB Juniata Valley Sentinol says that
on ono of tho cold mornings during tho
cold spell a large hawk pounced upon
one of Benjamin 1 labor's tamo ducks
that at tho time were in a pool of frosh,
unfrozen water in the canal bod a short
distanco beyond tho " third lock" at Ma
cedonia, Penn. Tho hawk fastened its
claws around the neck of tho fowl next
to its body, but tho duck was in doep
water, and. true to its nutdro, it ducked
and drew the hawk with it under the
water. Again the duck dove, which was
too much for his hawkship. The hawk
reloasoil its hold on tho duck and with
difficulty Hopped its way to tho shore.
The weather was cold and frozo tho
feathers of the hawk togother so that it
could not by. William 1 labor was a wit
ness of the capture and oscupo game be
tween the hawk and duck, and when it
was all over ho took a hand at tho gamo
by capturing tho hawk, tho hawk's
feather's boiug so frozen togother that
it could not fly away. Tho bird meas
ured .'1 foot l> inches from tho tip of one
wing to the tip of the other wing.
ALTHOUGH Alfonso, tho lato King of
Spain, died six years ago, his body is

THIS story of a capture of hibernating
bears comes from the State of Washing
ton. It is rclatod by two citizens of
Skipanon who saw tho beasts in captiv
ity: Their owners said that in cutting
down one of tho giant spruce-trees com
mon to that region, ho discovered that
one part of it was hollow, und, looking
into the cavity, ho made out three slum
bering boars. Thereupon ho nailed
"slabs" of wood across the hole, and
sawod off from the main trunk tho section
of tree in which tho boars were housed.
This ho started down tho mountain-side
in tho usual fushion, and tho novel cage
and its contents arrived safely at tho
bottom. Tho bears, which uro in a state
of semi-torpor are now on exhibition.

W. A. HOPKINS, of Blackinton, Mass.,
while walking in the woods above the
town ono day recently, found tho snow
filled with myriads of small scarlet
worms. .Several acres were covorod with
them, and they were so numerous they
gavo the snow a crimson tinge. Hopkins
brought a number of the worms to North
Adams. Tho wrigglers wore about
throe-eighths of an inch long and as bril

were found after a brisk snow fall, and
it is thought to have beon ono of those

caino insensible. His laughing did not
resemble hysterics. All efforts to rouse
him were vain, und at last reports it was
thought ho would die.
A NOVEL experiment iu surgery has
beon performed at Washington, 1). C.,
by Surgoon-Genoral Hammond. Two
pieces of bone, each about two and a
half inches long by ono inch wide, wore
taken from tho head of an imbecile. l)r.
Hammond holds that tho man's imbecil
ity is duo to tlio fact that tho brain is too
large for its receptaclo, and that by giv
ing It room for expansion reason may be
restored. Some time must elapso before
tho result will ho manifest, hut so far
the operation has boon successful, and
tho patient is doing woll. The doctor is
very hopeful of success.
A PARTY of li(inters iii Colorado killod
throe mountain lions recently in a now,

where the lions wore a rifle was pushed
through. The muzzle was gripped sav
agoly in the jaws of one of the lions and
the gun was discharged. The other two
lions grabbod tho ritie in turn as it was
withdrawn and poked in again, and each
was killed by bullets through tho head.

A farmer of Marion County says lus
has a snake which swallowed an eight
day clock in August, 1887. Until the
clock run down it struck regular and its
ticking could be heard. A short time
ago the farmer found somo eggs which
had boon deposited in a hole by the rep
tile, and on breaking them open found
that each contained an opon-raee watch
in first-class running order. Ho sold the
watches ait a big profit and has now given
the snake a post auger, in the hope that
it will produce sufficient cork-screws to

LOItE ABOUT HORX4.
Queer Facts About These Animal Ap
pendages.
"There are a good muny queer things
to bo told about horns," said Osteologist
Lucas to a Washington Star writor.
"Take the horn of the rhinocerous, for
example. It is nothing more than a pro
tuberance composed of agglutinated
huir. You cut it in two, und examining
its structure under the microscope, you
find that it is made up entirely of little
tubes resembling hair tubes. Of course
those tubes are not themselves hairs, but
the structure is the sarno. The horns of
African rhinoceros somotimos grow to
the length of four feet. From them the
Dutch Boers make ramrods and other
articles. You may remember that the
handle of the ax used by Umslopogans
in 'Allan Quartermain' was a rhinoceros
horn. In old times rhinoceros horns wore
employed for drinking cups by royal
personages, the notion being that poison
put into them would show itself by bub
bling. There may have boon some truth
iin the idea, inasmuch as many of the
| ancient poisons wore acids and they
! would decompose the horny material
I very quickly.
| "Several species of rhinoceroses, now
t extinct and only found in a fossil state,
| used to exist which had no horns at all.
The name, mcuning as it doos 'horned
| nose,' is rather a misnomer in their case.
I Several kinds of rhinocoros in Africa
I have two horns, one behind the other, but
' the extinct rhinoceros, known us the
' dyceratherium, had a pair of horns on
its nose side by side. Many of the giant
: reptiles of long ago had enormous horns.
I The groat lizard known as the tricoratops
I had a big horn over each eyo and a little
ono on its nose. The dinocoras and the
tinoceras, gigautic mammals of the torti
ary epoch, had three pairs of prominen
ces on their heads which aro believed to
have supported horns. However, the
material of which horn is oomposed
quickly decays, being largely composed
of gelatine and other animal inattor, so
that these appendages aro apt to be
i found absent when too fossil bones of
beasts which had them aro found.
" Some fishes have horns which are
actuully outgrowths of bono on their
houds. Tho box-fish, which inhabits the
warm waters of tho globe—a little fellow
six or eight inches long—has horns an
inch in length. Birds liuvo horns also
somotimos. The liornod screamer (which
is relatod to the duck) has a single horn
attached to its skull, springing from a
cartilaginous base and growing upward.
It is really u modified l'oathcr, though a
true horn.
" Plenty of reptilos have horns. Liz
ards uro very commonly provided with
thein. Thcro are chameleons with three
horns, like tho ancient triceratops.
Horned toads have a sort of crest of four
horns on tho back of their hoads. There
is a small African snake which has two
horns. No horned tortoises now exist,
but a fossil specimen was found a while
ago on Lord Howe's Island in tho south
ern Pacific which had four horns on its
crest and resembled a cross between a
horned toad and a snapping turtle.
Doubtless you have often hoard of hu
man beings with horns. Such append
ages in their case uro abnormal develop
ments of bono."
Nup for the Brain*
In private conversation one day last
week one of Chicago's oldest and most
learned physicians gave uttoranoe to the
following:
"Why is it that when we see a person
gazing fixedly for several moments at a
cortain point on the floor or in tho street
wo say ho or alio is thinking about some
thing? Nine times in ten a person thus
j engagod—or rather disengaged— is not
! thinking of anything. At such moments,
if you only knew it, tho mind is napping
and there is 110 thought. Probably 0110
of tho oldest fads, and it seems to bo
nothing more, consists of persons, when
at such times they are askod what
they're doing, saying, 'Thinking hard!'
"Jll tho largo majority of cases, when
a person is thinking hard or intently, tho
eye roams from one object to another,
and tho hands are moving more or less.
"Tho busiest, hardest-working brain
in tho country insists 011 taking momen
tary naps several times a day. Just be
fore dropping off into one of these naps
the mind commands tho oyo to fix itself
upon somo one objoct and stay, thus
insuring tho holding of tho head and
every part of the body quiet. Then tho
mind catches its little nap. Theso little
mind naps or flashes of rest may never
be more than twenty seconds long, and
yet thoy have been discovered to do tho
mind a wonderful amount of good.
They 110vor come to the deranged mind,
and it has also been discovered that the
supposedly sound mind which does not
take them is on tho verge of insanity."—
Chicago Tribune.
Sitomaiiiu.
The most rare as well as the most in*
foresting food abnormality, or intemper
ance, from a psychological point of
view, is that which for want of a better
name I shall call sitomania. .Soino such
dotinition as the following may be ap
plied to it: "A mania occurring period
ically, characterized by loss of volition
and an overwhelming desiro to partake
of food to an unliinitod extent, followed
by remorse, depression, and tendency to
puicido." In many respects thin form of
diseaso resembles the now well known
and defined diseaso dipsomania. In both
thero are intervals, often prolonged,
during which an entirely normal stato
prevails; thero is 110 unduo desire in tho
0110 case for excoss of food, in the other
case for drink. Then, often suddenly,
thero ensuos a wholly uncontrollable de
siro in tho one case for a food gorge, in
tho other for a drink excess: in both tho
essence of the disease is the secrotive
ness with which tho orgy is conducted;
thero also ensues in both, when the orgy
is over, the same feeling of intense de
pression and remorse, and in some cases
a tendency to suicide. The sitomuniac
adopts much tho same means of gratify
ing his desires as those adopted by the
dipsomaniac. When the attack is im
pending ho, a gentleman of high honor
at all other times, will condescend to acts
of indescribablo meanness and decoit; ho
will rob his best friends, indulge in potty
pilfering, even sell tho clothes off his
back, and reduco himself to absolute
poverty to find means for this morbid in
dulgence in food.—[Tho Lancet.

A Very Queer s„t,.iiuo.
The satellite nearest to the planet
Jupiter must be a singular place of
residence, if there be any possibility
of residents at all resembling human
beings. In the tirst place, though it
it is bigger than our own moon, the
substance of which it is composed is
less than half as light as cork, so that
it is not a very solid place of residence.
In the next place, though the sun
appears very dim from it as compared
with what it appears from the earth,
it has a moon —namely, Jupiter it
self—whoso surface appears many
hundreds of times larger than our
moon.
In the third place, the recent ob
servations made of this satellite by
Mr. Barnard in the great Liek Obser
vatory make it not improbable that
this satellite is really cut in two, and
that, therefore, there may be two
separate little worlds, probably not
separated by any great distance (for
the total diameter of the two together,
if there, be two divisions of the satel
lite, which was always supposed till
quite recently to bo single, is not
above 2,.'100 miles across) revolving
together through space, some even of
the details of one of which worlds
must be visible from the other, if
there be anything like telescopes on
cither half.
Ilf the satellite, is not cut in two
Mr. Barnard holds that there must lie
a light licit round it, much like the
light licit on Jupiter itself, and that
this light belt produces the impres
sion of division under certain cir
cumstances of the orbit. We may
hope that the Lick Observatory will
at length solve the problem. Per
haps the residents of the two halves
of the planet, if it be in halves, can
really telegraph to each other.

Deafness Can't be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect bearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can La taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by CAtarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure,
bend for circulars, free.

Mr. Albert Hartley of Hudson,

His brother had just died from it.
When he found his doctor could not
rally him he took one bottle of Ger

well. Mr. S. B. Gardiner, Cleric
with Druggist J. E. Barr, Aurora,

pneumonia by taking German Syrup
in time. He was in the business
and knew the danger. He used the
great remedy—Boschee's German
