From the La Crosse Chronicle,
ut was ever strange and Incompetent
siblc to us that people will not Away
follow after and pursue that which surel,
promises to yield them good. But ii il
so in every department OF lifc--so il
financial matters, social affairs and relIg
ious duties. Were man or u woman
to he told that by pursuing u certain
road, precipice would certainly he en-
countcred, while rctracing of step
would ensure safety, it would seem tina
the path Of duty was so plainly marked
that it would be eagerly troddcn. Blu
the victim would, nine times in ten
continue on and court ruin and death
rather than safety and happiness.
"Thc pcrvcrsencss Of human nature Is
manifested constantly in The manner in
which people cling TO pernicious error,
and death. dealing heresies. The old
musty, fogy doctor deals out his deadly
drugs and makes lively times for the un.
dertakcrs, but suffering men and woman
who See this, continue to avail them
selves Of his services. As education
and enlightenment comes in, the people
break away from the rusty chain and
seek something higher and better. The
cultured and intelligent people every.
where ARE asking for more light and help
in medical matters. They feel that in
this science, rs well rs in all Others,
there may be improvements.
"Now Lacrosse to-day has exactly
such II doctor, as will set those old iogy
notions dying. DR.. rockingham, the
celebrated English physician, has no
hcsitancy in telling the public exactly
what he can do, and exactly what he
cannot do. II he can cure q certain
disease, he advertises it 70 the world,
and invites sufferers to come to him and
test his pretentiOns. II he declares Il
case incurable he is anxious that all the
world should mark we'll his predictions
and watch the result. He seems to full
ly recognize the utter folly Of attempt
ing to confer benefit upon mankind
without letting anybody know of il.
"Dr. rockingham examines u patient
without asking him or her one question.
by his own method he closely scans
every portion Of persons physical or
ganism and instantly locates and defines
any disease lurking in the system. AZ
ter the first question that arises is wheth-
er this disease can be cured. 1t il is
within the reach of medical skill he so
states the case, and cures the patient.
We speak thus positively, because in
every instance yet brought to our notice
and they number hundreds-where he
has given encouragement, he cured the
patient. We confess that We have no
sort Of idea by what intuitive process
DIR. rockingham gains such an instan-
eous and correct knowledge of the
sources of ills that flesh is heir to, but
we are satisfied that, having once obtaind
them, he very promptly injects the
remedy and cOnfers blessing upon
by stopping their further raw
ages"

Last week Mr.. Philip j. Rudcr of
Lime township, while olIing n cane mill,
was caught by the cog wheel and his
right arm drawn in, crushing it badly.
Medical assistance was summoned and
who promo unced amputation absolutely
necessary, but Mr. Rudcr pcrsisicntly
objected, saying 81 will die first The
doctors then did the best they could to
make the man easy, but were satisfied
that death was inevitable, and their pre-.
dictions proved true, for on last Monday
he died. The doctors are entirely cX-
oneratcd from any blame, for had they
been allowed to follow their own ideas
by amputating the arm when first hurt,
the probabilities are that the man might
have lived

contained raw, bitter taste that was
never cradicatcd, is also well known.
But the last few years have made many
new and important changes in this APP
parcntly simple industry in the north,
1t is due to Seth Kcnncy and Messrs,
Wilhelm and jolly, to say that they
were the prime movers in first institu-
ting the important change, by introduce
ing the pure amber or sugar cane OF
the south, and supplanting the old
fashioned black seed cane; their expert
mcnts in making fine quality of boil
syrup and sugar proving successful
