SULPHUR AND MALARIA.

At recent meeting of the Paris Acad.
envy, NJ. d'Abbadie called attention to
some facts regarding marsh fever. Some
African elephant hunters from plateaus
with comparatively cool climate brave the
hottest and most deletsrious Ethiopian re-
gions with IMMUNITY, which they attribute
to their habit of daily fumigation of the
naked body with sulphur. 1t is interesting
to know whether sullhurous emanations,
received involuntarily, have like eGe...,
From inquiries made ~ NJ. Fouque, it ap-
pears that in Sicily, While most =. the sui.
phrr mines are in high districts and free
from malaria, few ;re at low level,
where-sfftsrmittent fever prevails. In the
districts, while The population of the
neighboring villages is attacked by fever in
the proportion Of 80 pc cent, the workmen
in the sulphur mines iuffer much less, not
more than s or 9 per cent being attacked
Again, on a certain marshy plain near
the roadstead in tie island of Milo
(Grecian Archipelago, it is hardly
possible to spend NIGH without being at
tackled by intermittent fever, yet on the
very fertile part near the noutains are the
ruins of large and prosperous town,
Zephyria, which, 800 years ago, numbered
about 10000 inhabitants. Owing to the
ravages of marsh fevar the place is now
nearly deserted. This change was brought
about by the transfer Il sulphur mining in
the neighborhood to the opposite side of a
mountain range. The decadence of Re.
phyria has nearly correspondent to this
transference. The sulphurous emanations
no longer reach the place, their passage be-
ing blocked by the mountain mass. Again
on the west side of the marshy and fever.
infested plain of Catania, traversed by the
Simeto, is sulphur mine, and beyond it,
at higher level, village which was
abandoned in the early pant Of this century
because of marsh fever. Yet there is .
colony of workmen living about the mine,
and they seem to be advantageously affected
by the emauations.

BRAVE AND FAITHFUL GUARDI IN OF
OUR HOMES AND PROPERTY RESCUED
FROM IMMINENT PERIL.

A very popular and well.kpown member

twelve years at the Union railroad depos on
Exchange Place in Providence, r. l., gives
his unsolicited testimony. Hear him:
- have been dreadfully troubled with dis.
ease Of the Kidneys and Liver during the
past six months. At times was so severely
afflicted that was unable to stand on nv
feet. as my feet and lower parts of my legs
were very badly swollen. My urinary organs
were in dreadful condition, my blood was
in wretched state, and it had become so i'm.
poverished and circulated so poorly that nv
hands and feet would be cold and numb. and
so white as to appear lifeless. 1 could not
rest nights, but was so distressed all over that
l could not lie still in bed, but would keep
turning and rolling from ole side to the other
all night, so that would feel more tired and
exhausted in the morning than when 1 went
to bed. My condition became so serious that
l was obliged to stop work, and for thirty
days was unable to be on duty. l consulted
the best doctors, and tried the numerous
medicines and so.csl,ed cures, hut rapidly
grew worse, and was in sad condition every
way, when longtime valued friend Of mine,
prominent in this city in large express com.
pany, urged me to Try Hunts Remedy, az he
had known OF wonderful cures effected by it.
Upon his representation 1 obtained two bot.
ties of the Remedy and commenced taking
it as directed, and greatly to my surprise
in less than twenty four hours l commenced
to feel relieved l was in an awfu,
condition when l began to take the
Remedy, and hsd no faith in it; therefore

WHY He WAS HAPPY.-Tbere was a
little disturbance over at the North End
the other afternoon, in which two men fell
afoul ct each other, and pounded and
clswed and bit each other in great shape,
and took turns in rolling each other in the
mud. During the row little old man
was seen in the crowd rubbing his hands
gleefully, slapping his knees, and encour.
aging both the combatants with equal
praise and exhortatiops to $50 in and
win." He seemed to be having splendid
time, and looked quite sad and detected
when the fight suddenly stopped upon a
Iumor gaining currency that q policeman
was coming. Some of the members of the
crowd wondered at the little old mans en-
joyment, and after the fight was over one
Of tLem said You seem to be having a
good time. Was the man who licked the
other your SOM" "No," said the little
old man, "no relation at ALL" "Was the
man who got whopped an enemy of yours ?"
No; never saw him before in my life. I"
"What was there in the fight to make you
feel SO good, then:" inquired the ques-
tioaer. "WelI" said the little old man.
"when l was younger than l am now l
used to be director of church choir, and
l liked the business, and anything that
takes me back TO that good old time makes
me happy. Now, it's been years since I've
had anything bring up my former church
choir days so forcibly and beautifully as
that fight did" And smiling anew in great
good humor, the singular little old man
went his way.- B5g tn Journal
