TORNADOS

Scientifically Accounted for, and Some
Remote Causes That Produce Painful
Results, Explained.
The following synopsis of lecture deliv-
cred by DR.. Horace R. Hamilton before the
New York society for the promotion OF
science, contains so much that is timely aud
important that it can be read with both
interest and profit:
There is probably no subject of modern
times that has caused and is causing great
er attention than the origin of tornadoes.
| Scientists have studied it for the benefit of
| humanity; men have Investigated it for
the welfare of their families. 1t has been
| vexed subject long considered, and
through all this Investigation the Cyclone
has swept across the land carrying de-
struction to scientists as we'll as the inno-
cent dwellers, in its track. One thing,
however, is certain; the cause of the cy-
clone must be sought far away
from the whirling body of wind
itself. Its results are powerful; its
cause must also be powerful. Let us there
fore consider a few facts. First, the ap-
pearance of cyclone is invariably pre-
ceded by dark spots upon the face of the
sun. These spots, indicating a disturbed
condition of the solar regions, necessarily
affect the atmosphere of our earth. An
unusual generation of heat in one part of
the atmosphere is certain to cause par
tial vacuum in another portion. Air must
rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the dis
turbance-hence the cyclone. This theory
finds additional confirmation in the fact
that tornadoes come during the day and
not at night. The dark spots upon the
surface of the sun, whatever they may be,
seem to cause great commotion in the at
mosphere of the world, and it is almost
certain that the extremely wet weather of
the present season can be accounted for
on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable to
suppose that the marvellous effect of the
sun upon vegetation and life in general
shall be less upon the atmosphere itself
through which its rays come? The cause
is remote, but the effect is here.
After describing some of the terrible
effects of the cyclone, the speaker went on
to say:
This rule finds its application in nearly
every department of life. An operator is
in San Francisco-the click of the instru-
ment manipulated by his fingers in New
York. The president makes slight stroke
of the pen in his study at the White house
and the whole nation is aroused by the act.
An uneaslness and disgust with everything
in life, commonly called home-sickness. is
felt by many people, when the cause is to
be found in the distant home thousands of
miles away. An uncertain pain may be
felt in the head. It is repeated in other
parts of the body. The appetite departs
and all energy is gone. Is the cause nee
essarily to be found in the head? The
next day the feeling increases.
There are added symptoms. They con-
tinue and become more aggravated. The
slight pains in the head increase to
agonies. The nausea becomes chronic.
The heart grows irregular and the breath
ing uncertain. All these effects have q
definite cause; and, after years of deep
experience upon this subject, do not hesi-
tate to say that this cause is to be found in
some arrangement of the kidneys or liver
far away from that portion of the body in
which these effects appear. But one may
say, have no pain whatever in my kid
neys or liver. Very true. Neither have
we any evidence that there is a tornado on
the surface of the sun; but it is none the
less certain that the tornado is here, and
it is none the less certain that these great
organs of the body are the cause of the
trouble, although there may be no pain in
their vicinity.
1 know whereof l speak, for have pass
ed through this very experience myself.
Nearly ten years ago, was the picture of
health, weighing more than 200 pounds,
and as strong and healthy as any man
ever knew. When felt the symptoms
have above described, they caused me an
noyance, not only by reason of their ag-
gravating nature, but because I had never
felt any pain before. Other doctors told
me 1 was troubled with malaria, and
treated myself accordingly. I did not be-
lieve, however, that malaria could show
such aggravated symptoms. It never oc-
Cured to me that analysis would help solve
the trouble, as [ did not presume my diff
fculty was located in that portion of the
body. But continued to grow worse. I
had faint sensation at the pit of my
stomach nearly every day. [ felt great
desire to eat, and yet I loathed food.
1 was constantly tired and still
could not sleep. Ny brain was unusually
active, but 1 could not think connectedly.
My existence wasa living misery I CON
tinued in this condition for nearly year;
| never free from pain, never for moment
happy. Such an existence is far worse
than death, for which confess I earnestly
longed.
It was while suffering thus that friend
advised me to make final attempt to re-
cover my health. I sneered inwardly at
his suggestion, but Twas too weak to make
any resistance. He furnished me with q
remedy, simple yet palatable and within
two days observed slight change for the
| better. This awakened my courage. !
felt that would not die at that time. I
| continued the use of the remedy, taking it
in accordance with directions, until 1 be-
came not only restored to my former health
and strength, but of greater vigor than ]
have before known. This condition has
continued up to the present time, and ]
believe 1 should have died as miserably
as thousands of other men have died and
are dying every day had it not been fol
the simple yet wonderful power of War
ner's Safe Cure, the remedy l employed.
The lecturer then described his means
of restoration more in detail, and con
| cluded as follows:
My complete recovery has caused me to
investigate the subject more carefully, and
l believe 1 have discovered the key to
most i'll health Of our modern civilization
