inches across. The leg bones are from .
to 7 inches in diameter in the center. The
specimen is well preserved, but of course ia
not complete. Some pieces of ribs, and a
few bones OF the feet were not found bat
sufficient OF the remains have been found
to construct or form an estimate of its i'm
mense size. Some idea may be formed by
saying the bones so far preserved weigh
nearly 1000 pounds.
Chester Tribune:
Although a little early in the game
quite lively interest is already being man
llested among Republicans of this con-
gresslonal district as to who will be their
nominee next year. Capt. Thomas, it is
SAID, will endeavor to be his own successor
Judge Harker of Alexander county, Geo.
W. Smith of Jackson, w. s. Morris of
Pope, |. NJ. Kelly of Perry, and J. r. Nc
Fle OF Randolph, are all said to have the
congressional bee in their breeches, and
will test the championship with Capt.
Thomas in the next convention. If the
Democrates have any prospective cand-
dates they have not yet come to the sur
lace. with no discension in the party
ranks this district ought TO be good for
1000 majority for the nominee of the Re-
publican party. We hope that in the fu-
ture peace and harmony will prevail"
The Tribune is not any more ahead of
time than Capt. Thomas is, who has been
tor some time engaged in Setting up the
pins" for the next contest. That Capt.Thom
| as will "endeavor 10 be his own successor
Is a question about which we had no doubt
ever since the captains memorable speech
in the Opera House here, in which he very
plainly indicated his purpose to succeed
himself al nfnitum. And Capt. Thomas
is probably as strong man as the Repub.
licans can bring forward. 1t is true, that
the captain was elected by small majority,
but this fact was due, to great extent, to
Barton and his gang. Barton and his
gang are now, by strange freak Of polit-
cal fortune, the captains hearty supporters,
devout worshippers, we may say, and this
would insure the captain much easier trav-
cling in the next campaign. The Trib-
une's speculation concerning Democratic
candidates is premature.
The London Lancet contains an ex-
haustiye PARTICLE on the "Therapeutcal
Drinksng Of Hot Water; Its Origin and It's
Use" The article is written by Dr. Ep-
brain Cutter, an eminent physician of New
York City, and contains some statements
and suggestions which, to say the least, are
certainly worthy OF attention. DR.. Cutter
says that the first use made of hot water as
a medicine, or "heslth regulator" was made
by Dr.. James H. Salisbury, Of New York,
who by series of experiments on men and
various animals, demonstrated its efficacy.
In his article DR.. Cutter gives directions
for the proper use Of hot water. In the
first place. it must be hot, /. e., not less than
100 or more than $50 degrees Fahrenheit.
This excites the proper action Of the diges-
tive organs. Cold water depresses and
lukewarm water causes vomiting. For
disrrhea the hotter the water the better.
For hemmorhages it should be at blood
heat. TIE quantity of hot water drank
varies from one-half pint 10 pint and one
half, according to the condition of the
patient and the disease treated. The hot
water should be taken one or two hours
before each meal, and half an hour before
retiring. This gives the water time to
operate before food enters the stomach or
sleep comes. The water should be slipped
SLOWLY, and the swallowing Of half pint
should take half an hour. 1t takes six
months to wash out the liver and n,estires

may be addei. The effects of drinking are
noticed in the improved feelings Of the

tai, aud perspiration is free. The digestion
improves, thirst disappears, and there is no
longer II craving Of liquor. Taken as
whole, from DR.. Cutters estimate, the hot
water treatment is the most complete rem
edy yet discovered for all the evils flesh is
heir to.
