MAINE NJ EN-.

From Bath, Me, we have receiv cd under date
Of May 10, 1885, the following statement of GEo.
W. HARRISON, the popular proprietor of "The
Restraurant":'A few years since was troubled
so severely with kidney and bladder affection
that there was brickdust deposits in my urine,
and continual desire to urinate, with severe
darting, sharp pains through my bladder and
side, and again, dull, heavy pressure, very
tedious TO endure. l consulted one Of our re-
the treatment, and fearing that my symptoms
indicated "Brights Disease, "the most dreadful
of all diseases, made up my mind that must
obtain relief speedily or would be past cure. l
consulted my druggist MIR. Webber, and after
ascertaining my symptoms, he recon mended
the use of Hunts Remedy, nshe knew of many
successful cures effected by that medicine in
similar cases here in Bath. l purchased a bot
tie, and before / had used the first bottle 1
found had received great benett,as suffered
less pain, my water became more natural, and
began to improve SO much that the second bot
tie effected IL complete cure; and my thanks are
due to Hunts Remedy for restored health, and
l cheerfuly recommend this most valuable and
reliable medicine to my friends, as l consider
il II duty MS well as pleasure to doso.
"Being well acquainted with MIR. George w.
Harrison at the time OF his Sickness referred to
in the foregoing testimonial, can certify to the
correctness Of the statement made by him.

The Torpedo Discnnroo.

M stessano, French Psychologist, has
communicated some interesting experiments
to the French Academy of Sciences on the
action of curare on torpedoes. He finds that
the muscular nerves of the torpedo are par
alyzed sooner than the nerves controlling
the discharge from the electric organ of the
fish. Thus if the poison be administered
until the animal is quite paralyzed, it is still
capable Of giving slight electric shocks; and
when 1t begins to recover from the poison,
the electric discharge is felt before there are
signs OF bodily movement. Other posons,
such as berp amotte, sulphuric ether, strych-
nine and digitaline, were tried with tho
same general result that the electric organ
was active whilst the muscular power Of the
torpedo was deadened.

The American Girl.

The Baron Salvador, who was one, nf
Rufus Hateh's illustrious guests, says he
has seen nothing in America that struck
him as peculiarly CHARACTERISTIC of the
country as the American girl. AS
product indigenous to the United States,
says he, she stands out in full relief and
in rose-colored light. In Paris I hsye
many friends among the American resi-
dents, and have found the study OF femi-
pine character an extremely interesting
one. Why, I have seen American, girls
of eighteen or twenty years look
gravely into ones eyes and enunciate
opinions Of their own on most Important
matters. And they really say very
original things sometimes, and have
original ideas. AS class they are
bright, witty, sparkling, and they know
how to take care of themselves. French
girls refer everything to their mammas.
If they have original ideas they consider
it unmaidenly to express them, or if
they say anything outside the limits OF
polite small talk it is prefaced or excused
by: $50 my mother says" or "mamma
has told me that"
