remarkable Cure for Rheuma-
tism-InsuIate Your Beds.

Some six weeks since the writer was
attacked with pain in the left hip,
cslled by physicians, Sciatica. The
rain extended down the leg to the
knee and ankle juii.ts, but was not
continuous during the first month. Af-
fer that time it grew worse, and in
spite of such remedies as was using, l
was unable to sleep but little for three
nights in succession. In this condition
called on Drs. Wagenhals and Kins-
man, somewhat noted medical firm,
now of Columbus, but recently of Lam
caster, Ohio. 1 found DR.. Wagenhals
in, and without ceremony detailed to
him my ailments. He said he had
had painful experience in rheumatism,
but had finally adopted rather novel
remedy, he thought, with great bene-
fit. But mine was case of Sciatica,
and he desired to apply this new rem
edy in my case, as it was the first we'll
defined case of Sciatica they had had
since the introduction of this new the
ory. The prescription vas
INSULATE TIE BED YOU SLEEP ON.
WAS instructed to procure four glass
cups, or plates. one for each bed-post
to stand on, disconnect the bed from
the wall or any outside object, and go
to bed when wished. i insulated my
bed as directed, and went to bed att
O'Clock P. NJ, having rather an increas-
ed amount of pain in my hip and leg.
AT about 9 CLOCK L fell asleep, but was
soon walked up by some one coming to
my room. ] then found my system to
be in very free state of perSpiration-
my feet unusually, warm, and l was
comparatively free from pain. soon
went to sleep again, and slept soundly
until morning. l have been keeping
up this insulating process ever since, a
period of some ten days-or rather
nights-with like beneficial results.
do not claim that an actual cure has
been effected in my case, but the re-
suits thus far have proved highly satis-
factory.
DR.. Wagenhals has, by request, been
lecturing recently to Medical Society
of Colum bus, on this new treatment of
rheumatism. In one of these lectures,
which was ordered by the Society to be
printed, the doctor reports some forty
or fifty cases of rheumatism treated at
Lancaster and Columbus, on this new
theory: all of which were attended
with the most astonishing results.
Among these was the case of General
Tom. Ewing, who contributed letter
on the subject, extracts OF which were
quoted. Drs. Wagenhals & Kinsman

and in the community where they have |
long practiced.

produced on the human system by in

would care to promulgate without fur |
ther investigation. Ideem it subject |

Belmont county physicians and scien-
lists. The remedy should, of course,
be more thoroughly tested and the re-
suits given to the public. Any one
can try it, without the aid of physi-

MIgruder'S Goat.

( Mrs. Magruder's baby is carried out
by the nurse now, since the accident to
its carriage. Magruder thought il
would be good idea to have a tame
goat to pull the coach, and he bought
one for the purpose; but one day the
goat met another goat that differed
something, and each undertook tOcon-
vince the other by jam ming him in
the skull. Every time Magruder's
goat would rear up preparatory to ma
king lunge forward, Magruder's ba-
by would lurch over backward, and
when Magruder's goat struck the other
goat the conclusion would shake the
milk in the baby's stomach into but
ter. And sometimes the other goat
would aim at Magruder's goat, which
would dodge, and then the other goat
would plunge headforemOst into the
coach, and mash the haby up in the
most frightful manner. And in the
midst of the contest a couple of dogs
Joined in, and Magruder's goat backed
off and tilted the coach into the gutter,
and the dogs biting around kind of
generally, would snap at the goat and
cause it to whirl the baby around just
in time for the bite; until at last the
goat got disheartened and sprang
through the fence, leaving the coach on
the other side, and it struggled franti-
cally to escape, while the other goat
crow ded up against the baby in order
to avoid The dogs, and finally knocked
the baby out. and butted the coach to
splinters. They say the way Mrs. Ma
gruder eyed Magruder thst afternoon,
when they brought the baby home mu-
tilated and disheveled, was simply aw-
full to behold; but she. didn't speak to
him for week, and he had to soften
her down by buying her an ostrich
feather for her winter hat. The goats
still at large. Anybody who wants
him can have him free of charge. Ma
gruder doen't recognize him when he
meets the animal upon the street.

A WONDERFUL CLoCK.-Droz, a
mechanic Of Geneva, produced clock
which excelled all others in ingenuity.
On it were seated negro, shepherd,
and a dog. When the clock struck,
the shepherd played six tunes on his
flute, and the dog approached and
fawned upon him. This wonderful ma
chine was exhibited to the King of
Spain, who was greatly delighted with
it. The gentleness of my dog said
DrOz, is his least merit. If your
Majesty touch one of the apples which
you see in the shepherds basket, you
will admire the animals fidelity The
King took an apple, and the dog flew
at his hand, barking so loud, that the
Kings dog, which was in the room,
began to bark also. At this the court
iers, not doubling that it was an affair
of witchcraft, hastily left the room,
crossing themselves as they departed.
Having desired the Minister of Marine
(the only one who ventured TO remain)
to ask the negro what o'clock it was,
the Minister did so, but obtained no
reply. Droz then observed that the
negro had not yet learned Spanish,
upon which the question was repeated
in French, when the black immediate
ly answered him. AT this prodigy the
firmness of the Minister also forsook
him, and he retreated precipitately,
declaring that it must be the work OF
a supernatural being.
