position of journal clerk in the Penn

While Mr.. NICE and family were in the
country recently, his boy, aged three
years, fell and broke his leg. He re-
covered, but very troublesome stiff
ness set in and he could scarcely use the
leg. The injured limb was rubbed sew
eral times with St. Jacobs Oil, and the
stiffness was so much reduced that the
boy was able to use his leg freely. DIR.
Knipe said it was the use of st. Jacobs
Oil that cured the stiffness. Mr. Nyce
himself used the Great German Remedy
for toothaehe with good effect, and also
for sprain and pains of rheumatic
nature. and always with good effect.
Mrs Nyce also says she thinks the Oil
is splendid thing and she always
keeps it on hand.

Important to the Public as Well as
the Medical Profession.
Halls Journal of Health, referring to Con-
sumption, makes the followingI important state
ment;
Consumption usually begins with a slight dry
cough in the morning, then, on going to bed get
ting mere and more frequent, with more and more
phlegm. increasing debility, thinness Of flesh,
shortness of breath, and quiekness of pulse. In
fatal cases its average is about two years
hence the Importance OF arresting the disease at
early stage as possible, and the sooner ra-
tional means are employed for this purpose the
greater the chance OF success. The disease is
owing to an irritation commencing in the throat
and extending to the lungs. so that their action
is interfered with, and the flood does not receive
sufficient oxygen to purify ~. The most marked
sign of lung disease is emaciation, and the most
positive indication of returning health is increase
in weight"
So speaks Halls Journal Of Health, and we
may add that in desperate cases, and, in fact, in
all cases of Consumption, or troubles of the throat
and lungs, immediate relief may be obtained and
permanent cure effected by the use Of DR.. VIM.

1t was not necessary to shave the hair
any more closely, as it was cut short.
The process, as described by Mr.. Mills,
was substantially this: A WOODEN net
ted cap was placed over the Uranium,
wet, and drawn tight. 1t fitted closely
10 the head, and made a perfect out
line of the skull. The plaster from
which the cast was to be made was
then poured over this network an inch
thick and allowed to remain proper
time. The lower part of the face was
then covered with different pr para
ton, which leaves no stain upon the
skin, openings being left for the nos
triis. The eyes were left to the last,
when they were closed, the compost
ton placed over them, and the cast of
the face was accomplished in three
minutes. The whole was then skill
fully removed, and the sculptor says
tonight that the cast is perfect. 1t has

Highly interesting experiments with newly
discovered mineral essence took place a few
evenings ago at the laboratory Of the eminent
Partisan analytical chemist, NJ. Wuertz, in
in the presence Of several members Of the
Academic des Sciences. Having filled a lamp
with the liquid in question, and ignited the
wick, NJ. Kordig, the d%iscoverer of the es-
sence, tossed the lighted lamp up against the
ceiling, besprinkling the bystanders as well
as himself with the flaming fluid, which,
however, to the establishment of all present,
proved utterly devoid of heat or burning ca
pacity. He then soaked his p~ocket-handker-
chief in the essence, and set it on fire; the
essence burnt itself out, but the handkerchief
remained uninjured, as did his hat after sub
lection to q similar trial. Then NJ. Wuertz,

Bismarck and the Actress.

Some years ago a curious correspondence
between Count Bismarck and the members of
a conservative society in PomeraniaW was pub
lished by the Vossssche Zeihneg. This soci-
ETY. asked the count for an explanation of his
conduct, first in abandoning the conservative
party second in allowing himself to be pho
tographed along with Mile. Lucca, and third
in having ceased to go to church. The count
at once gave q categorical reply, with many
thanks for the frankDess with which his
s'dear friends had addressed him. In regard
to the first point, Count Bismarck says that
people at a distance cannot judge of the cir
cumstances which must necessarially infu-
ence the political conduct of a statesman. that
he must act for the good Of the country
whose d~estinies are placed in bis hands, and
that if he knew how difficult it is to adopt the
right course. and how heavy q burden rests
on bis shoulders, they would acquit him Of
wilful desertion of his party. La explanation
