MAIDSTONE.
curious and Interesting History of
the Most Remarkable Mad St0na
Perhaps In the World.

Perhaps In the World. y
For the first time in our life we
saw yesterday, a genuine maidstone
and heard its history from the own
er, who inherited it from his father.
The fortunate possessor is Col. B.
Lee Milan, of Waterford, Marshall
county, Mississippi. Col. Milan is
prominent citizen of his county.
and his statements set at rest any
doubts which we may have had
about the efficacy of the maidstone
in curing the bites of mad dogs
cats, snakes, spiders, or other veni-
nous animals or insects. Col. Lee
Milan is native of Madison couna
ty, North Alabama, from whence
he removed in 1885. The family
came from Virginia, and the Coli
onel inherits also his middle name.
being a second cousin of Gen. Rob't
e. Lee.
The maidstone in his possession
is 4DouG TIC SIZE OF q hen egg as
heavy as SO much brick and rather
more porous, and is of light clay
ish color. One end is fiat as if it
had been sawd off, and a grain runs
through the stone from end to end
as if it had, in some former age.
been so much wood or bone. About
fifty years ago this stone was split
in three or four pieces, but was
carefully fastened together with a
wire, which still performs its office.
The stone was brought from China.
in the year 1910, by DIR. Barker.
The doctor died in few years, and
the stone was sold at public sale
among his other property. Mr..
Jarvis Milan, the COloners father.
was the purchaser, and at his death
he willed the stone to the present
owner, with the condition that all
the family should have the use of
1t as often as necessary, free of
charge.
As to its virtues, Colonel Lee
Milan states that it has been appli-
ed with success in over one thou
sand cases, and has only failed in
two, and in those the parts affected
could not be successfully reached.
He has used it himself over two
hundred and fifty times. When
applied it adheres as if by suction,
and usuallyremains on ten or twelve
hours. When the poison is all ex-
tracted the stone falls off. During |
the process a very offensive stencil |
fills the room, making the air sick
ening in the extreme. The stone is |
then soaked in warm warm water
from twenty-four to thirty six
hours, when it becomes cleansed |
and is again ready for use. Col. Mi
lam assures us that he can cure any
case of dog, snake or other bite
where madness or dissolution has
not actually set in. Cures have |
been effected even as long as two |
weeks after the bite. Last week |
the stone was used successfully in
several cases. 1t is known for many |
leagues around, and the people |
come from far and near to be |
healed.
Colonel Milan has been offered |
five thousand dollars for this won
derful stone, but always refused to
entertain the proposition. He said
playfully yesterday that he might
sell it for ten thousand dollars if |
the buyer would promise to always |
allow him the use of it. Great is
mad stone We are converted, |

thousand men, women and children were OF
