Falling!

WAAAAO
That is what a great
many people are doing.
They don't know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is Browns IRON
BITTERs, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
This is why Browns
IRON BITTERs will cure
kidney and liver diseases,
consumption, rheumatism,
neuralgia, dyspepsia, mala-
ria, intermittent fevers, &c.

Democrats prefer the name OF
Bourbon to that Of traitor, which
has been written ACROSS the brow Of
Malone. The lust for Office may
induce few Democrats TO join the
party they have so long and often
execrated, bnt they will soon repent
of their folly. 1t has been very
truthfully and beautifully said that
the gloomiest knell which ever rings
in the ears of mortals is to hear the
lost esteem;of those we love. When
the Democrat takes his position IN
the Republican party and finds
himself there, in dreary isolation
among those with whom he has no %
sympathy, the gloOmiest kneD
which will ever ring in his eais
will be 10 hear the lost esteem OF
his old Democratic Comrades

A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

The success of surgical operation
performed some time ago by DR.. William
s. Forbes, professor of anatomy at the
Jefferson Medical college, deu onstrates
way in which musicians may overcome
the necessity of years of constant prac.
tice to destroy the rigidity which
naturally exists in the third or ring
finger. This normal infirmity has always
been the great drawback to students.
To obtain thorough knowledge of the
theory of music, fexibility and ease in
the movement of the third finger is
absolutely required. The subject was
brought to the attention of DIR. Forbes
by Professor Zeckwer, a music teacher.
The physician gave the assurance that
II subject were procured he would
demonstrate that, with not very pain
full surgical operation, the finger could
be brought under control A young
colored man in the employ of Profes-
sor Zeckwer, who had some musical
ability, consented to subject himself to
the surgeons scalpel. In the case OF
the third finger, unlike its neighbors,
the upper or extensor finger is joined
with the tendons of the fiEgers on each
side of it by two smaller or accessory
tendons. This acts like mar
tingale, one holds the fingers down &c
completely that nothing but constant
strain will loosen the pressure. DR.
Forbes, when the subject was brought
to him, simply made two small openings
in the back of the left hand on eact
side of the extensor tendon, and divided
the troublesome accessories. Tho
finger was at once released, and, imme
diately after the operation, the young
man was able to raise the finger and
describe an arc of circle an inch an6
a half greater than he could before
Since the operation the finger ha beer
rapidly gaining strength, and now, a
exercise, it does yeoman service al
oompared with its twin of the othe,
hand.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1882-04-06
Origin of "ExceIsi0r.N

One of the best known of all of Long
fellows shorter poems is Excelsior. I"
That one word happened to catch his
eye one autumn eve in 1841 on torn
piece of newspaper, and straightway
his i'm ,gination took fire at it. Taking
up piece of paper, which happened to
be the back of letter received that
day from Charles Sumner, he crowded
it with verses. AS first written down,
Excelsior" differs from the perfected
and published version, but it shows a
rush and glow worthy of its author.
The story of "Evangeline" was first
uggested to Hawthorne by friend
who wished him to found romance on
it. Hawthorne did not quite coincide
with the idea and he handed it over to
Longfellow, who saw in it all the ele.
ments of deep and tender idyl.-
James T. Fields.
