ticated into the workings of large
newspaper. ii may be stated that the
"exchange1 editor is man who uses
the scissors and paste-pot. All news
papers of metropolitan pretentions
have exchange lists of hundreds OF
papers. They send their paper to all
the leading journals in the country,
besides to number of country papers
in the immediate vicinity. Every one
of these papers are read by the ex-
change editor, and if he finds some
thing novel and interesting, he cuts
it and credits to the paper from which
it is taken. When he gets number
of these clippings. he hands them to
the managing editor to make a selec-
ton from. The latter chooses the
most interesting of them, and those
are published in the paper upon the
following day.
Some newspapers use more clip
pings than others. In large city,

news is plenty, few are needed, as the
columns are well crowded without
them. In Cincinnati, st. Louis and
cities further west. the papers will be
found we'll filled with them, and there
is no mistake but that they make
mighty good reading.
For instance, the following enter
tanning story, which is from the Pitts
5,Tgh Dispatch, journal which is
extensively copied, has been going
the rounds of the newspapers:
"Very seldom do we read of an
actual case of recovery, where hope
had altogether been lost, to parallel
that which was Monday investigated
by Dispatch reporter who had heard
in various quarters persons talking
to their friends of cure, seemingly
little short of marvellous, that had
been performed. The plain facts in
the case referred to, without exagger-
alton, are these, as were they learned
from the mother of the young man,
his pastor and other persons well
known in the community:
civilian Lincoln Curtis is the
name of the young man in question.
He is now employed at H. K. Porter
& Co.'S locomotive works in Pitts
burgh, Pa. A year ago he resided
with his mother, on Grant street.
About that time he went to bed one
evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought of
cold. The next morning the shoulder
was greatly swollen, the pain was in
tense, and aches were felt all through
his system. His case was speedily
developed into a violent form of
chronic rheumatism, among the first
notable features of which was the
paralysis of his left arm.
He gradually grew worse, and in
few months the elbow and knee
joints, and both ankles became enor-
mousIy enlarged. In March last the
cheek homes began to enlarge, and
upon his left side particularly, spread
ing his face out Of all resemblance to
his former self. The pain in all his
Joints became intense fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added,
and he became rapidly reduced TO the
semblance of skeleton, while vital
ity reached It's lowest possible condi-
ton, and his sufferings were of such
an Understandable character that those
who most loved him sometimes
thought it would be better if he was
called away. At this time physi-
clan well known in Pittsburgh in
formed his parents that he was in i'm
minent danger of total paralysis, and
directly afterward they announced to
his sorrowful mother that they could
give no hopes of recovery.
The young man finally commenced
taking that wonderful medicine, Pc
RUNA. Almost at once the good
effects were perceptible. In 1.-TWO weeks
quite a change, for the better, was
perceptible by all the friends of the
invalid, In six weeks almost all the
enlargement had been reduced COM
pletely, while in spirits and strength
the patient was quite as well as he
had ever been in his life. Nearly
three weeks ago he resumed work as
machlnist at his old place, able to
perform as much labor as ever in his
life.
1.-THE mother of Willie Curtis in
stating all these facts, said: Indeed,
l cannot look upon the cure much less
than miracle. l do not hesitate in
sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends.
My heart is very full of gratitude for
my boys recovery was really like
that of one snatched from the jaws of
DEATH"
