Calhoun, distance Of three miles. He
was obliged to receive assistance to re-
turn. He soon began retching, and
this continued for two days. II was a
terrible strain on his system, and he
weakened very rapidly.
on THE FORTY-sECOND DAY
Dr Meyer became terribly alarmed,
and insisted on his taking something in
to his stomach. lie actually forced the
first few teaspoonfuls Of milk into his
mouth. His digestive system was 20
weak that he Immediately threwup the
milk. He was soon able to hold his
food down, md then began an appetite
that was almost impossible to appease.
The Doctor was perfectly uncontroll-
able, and he ate everything in the
most voraclous manner 1t was simply
hoggish. He went to the mar
kctand ate apples, oranges, and figs by
the dozen, and quatIed n pint of milk
every ten minutes. His whole organi-
zation seemed like II sponge, and read
lily absorbed the food that was taken IN
this prodigal manner, until his mad
dencd appetite had been gratiiied.
The fasting for forty-two days was mar
Vicious, but the inordinatc eating 50
soon after, with restored life, was even
more marvellous.

ANY one COULD GO WITHOUT rood
that length of time. He replied that
there was not one person IN hundred
who could do it. He added that he
had not the slightest doubt that DR.
Tanner would succeed in his present
experiment III New York. The gen
cral symptoms are about the same It's
those Of DIR. Tanners first fast.

il may be Of use to the shipwrccked, or
to persons who are lost, TO know that
there is n ease ON record where man
lived forty days without food. 1t may
be the means Of prolonging the life Of

Among all tho Turkish possessions
which the European Areopagus has
lust gracefully given away none prob
ably will touch the national sentiment
more than Janina, the stronghold Of
the renowned Ali Pasha. The celebrat
ed mountain fortress is said to occupy
the site of the Temple Of Dodona, but
it has no classical interest in itself. 1t
came into existence under the Lower
Empire under the title of ,Joannina, or
st. Jonstown and is now locally known
as Yanina. Its modern history dates
from its seizure by the young Albanian
chieftain, who, hy 4 rare combination
of diplomacy and reckless daring, OBJ
tanned from the Porte confirmation of
his conquest. The readers Of "Childe
Harold" will remember the portrait
which Byron sketched of this remarka-
BE man when lie visited him at his

ing career began while he was yet

Of EpiruS, and portions Of Acarnania
and Etolia, he annexed the Pashalik Of
Skodra and reduced the towns along
the Gulf of Arta, one Of the most dar-
ing exploits being the Storming of Pre-,
ye.a. Though ut one time in league
with them, he subsequently gained
much credit from the Porte by break
ing the power Of the Klephts, the rob
ber clans of whom We shall probably

Turkish authorities ventured to avail
themselves freely Of the extraordinary

A CURE FOR HyDROPHOBIA.
4 simple Weed that Grows by til,
Nny-idr- History Ofthc Cure.
Albuny Argus.


A lady handed reporter the other
day slip Of paper asking him if he
would not publish it for the benefit Of
the public. 1t was found to be u simple
but effective cure for that dog-day tor
ror, hydrophobia The cure, which
great experience has proved to be in
lnllible, is nothing more than the root
of common weed known rs clccam-
pane stepped in milk Eecampanc
grows IN great proiuSion along many
country roads in this and Rensselaer,
countries. II has powerful medicinal
qualities, and milk is well known TO be
II specific for many poisons. The man
ncr of administering the antidote will
be learned hy perusal Of the following
history of this simple and wonderful
cure:
In Chester county, Pennsylvania,
lived German named Joseph Emery,
who used to he sent for far and wide,
when any one had been bitten by II
rabid animal. lie went to his patient,
carrying something understood to be II
u root, which he himself dug in the
woods. He MIXED II pint of fresh milk
fresh from the COW, put the root into il,
boiled it, gave it to the patient, fasting
made him fast after taking il; gave ii
second and third dose ON alternate
days, and never failed in ctlrcting il
cure. In some way his secret trans
pred, and the root was known 10 30
clccnmpanc.
The story, current in the county, was
that I'M old German made the discovery
in the days of Penn, and applied to the
Pennsylvania legislature for grant Of
$500 for making his secret public. Ills
offer was treated with contempt, and
he resolved that his secret should die
with him, hut drunken son knew it,
wrote out the recipe, making II number
of copies, and tried Ia sell them ut 81 II
piece lie only succeeded III selling
two, one Of these To man who made
such effective use Of it. So well did he
establish the local reputation of his
specific, that in his neighhorhood folks
were not afraid of mad dogs. This
man never failed to cure or prevent by
drophohia, In one case the spasms had
begun before the first dose was given,
and the patient recovered.
