There is no ordinary disaster that may

may be railroad accident OR the burst

can not be greatly lessened by coolness
and presence of mind. Especially is this
true in cases of alarms of fire in crowded
buildings or accidents upon water. The
most terrible calamities have been the
result of wild, unreasoning panics. A
multitude of human beings under the
impulse Of sudden terror becomes per-
fectly merciless. The cracking of bench

If you have Rheumatism, take tho
Medicine that will cure you.
BUTLER SWITCH, JENNINGS Co.. md,
May 10, 1879.
DIR. H. R. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR-Having in our family received great
benefit from the VEGETINE manufactured by you,
l thought would give you the facts of the case,
hoping it might meet the eye of some suffering
one who might thus be relieved. nave grand
child about ten years of age. who, two years ago,
or over. had severe attack of rheumatism, and
for two long years was under the care of as good
physician as we have in this county. and yet all
this time grew worse, till we gave her up, and
thought she must die. She was much deformed,
and we were told by doctor that if she lived,
she would always be deformed; but thanks to
VEGErINE she is to-day perfectly we'll. and az
straight as All arrow. Last December we aban.
doned all hope of the doctor doing anything for
her. and commenced using VEGETINE according
to your directions. When the first bottle was
used up We could not see much improvements
but we continued on the second bottle, and could
see some change for good. She took six bottles
and, thank God, a complete cure was effected IN
every respect.
Yours truly, G. BURGESS

of frequent occurrence during the past
few years. Some of them are so recent
as to need no mention. As a contrast to
these sad calamities it occasionally hap
pens that great disasters are avoided
through the presence of mind of a single
individual, and it is we'll to note these
cases as precedents for other people to
follow in similar situations of danger.
Last season a school building in New
York, containing over sixteen hundred
pupils, was discovered to be on fire by
one of the teachers. He appreciated, at
its full cost, the danger of a sudden
alarm, and quietly sending in call to
the nearest fire station, had his pupils
fall into line as if to engage in some Gus
tomary drill. The other teachers through
out the building were instructed to do
the same, when class after class, in regu-
lar order, were marched out upon the
playground without an accident or any
knowledge of the impending danger.
A similar case of presence of mind oc-
Cured last Wednesday in the publishing
house of Frank Leslie, New York. About
four hundred people are employed in
this building, most of whom are females.
An accident happened to one of the boil
ers in the basement of the building,
which threatened to speedily fill it with
scalding steam. The danger of the ex-
ploson of the other boilers was also i'm
minent. The foreman, Mr.. Firm, on
learning the danger, proceeded to the diff
ferent rooms and ordered the men and
girls to stop work and Immediately leave
the place, and not to "talk back or ask
any questions, but he left them to infer
that owing to some pending legal trou-
bles between the elder Leslie and his son
Harry the business was suspended. They
were told that all would be explained te
them on the morrow. In this way room
after room and story after story were
emptied without panic or loss of life
When word reached the upper floor, oc-
cupied by the editors, artists and repor
ters, that something unusual was going
on below, those worthy people were
thrown into CONSERVATION by the
fear that the building was or
fire. Superintendent Tomlinson, with
profound knowledge of human nature
and readiness of resource that STAMP
him as fit to command armies, walked il
amongst them, calmed their fears and di
rected their minds into other and pleas
anter channels by asking them all tt
take drink. The room was emptiet
with celerity, and yet with the dignit.
and GOODNESS that sit so we'll upon th'
profession when it allows itself to b.
called from labor to refreshment.
After a brief delay the danger wa
over, the employees returned to thei
work, grateful to the two or three cool
headed men who turned aside an impend
ing doom which would have bee
precipated upon the heads of many @
them, had sudden panic ensued.
