A MEDICINE.
Hunts .:en,edy-It. MANY Merit


THERE arc no diseases more prevalent, with, per.
haps, the exception of Consumption, in this country
than the kidney and liver coIplaints; and to and a
remedy that would effectually relieve them has long
been the aim of many afflicted sufferers. Whether our
habits rs a people are conducive to these diseases, or
whether they may result from the popularity of our
climate, is beyond our comprehension, and is Of little
value since an eficacious remedy can be had; but of
one thing we are sure, that the long afflicted public will
hail with Joy the specific which has again and again
proved It's ability to cffcctually cope with and eradicate
these diseases. The name of this medicine is Hunts
kennedy, and 1t is manufactured by the Hunts Remedy
Company of Providence. 1t is not often that mention
of a patent medicine occurs in these columns, but,
when one comes under our notice possessing such un.
doubted merits as the one of which we speak, we can
not refrain from giving 1t the credit 1t deserves. It
cures when all other remedies fail. as 1t acts directly on
the Kidneys, liver and bowels, restoring them ali at once
10 hcalthy action. 1t Is sure to eradicate all diseases
OF the Kidneys, bladder, urinary organs-such az
Gravel, diabetes, incontinencc, retention of the urine.
1t has awonderful effect ON weakness or pain in the
Dack, sides, or loins, and has proved itself the most re-
diseases, disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, and all
complaints of the urino- genital organs. Its efficacy
fncases of that dreadful scourge and insidious destroy.
or, Bright's disease of the kidneys, has been remark
able; and, II Its merits rested on its success in COPING
with that disease alone, it would be worthy of high
rank as a public bencfactor. In all diseases of the liver
as biliousncss, headache, dyspepsia, sour stomach
and costivcness-it quickly induces that organ to
healthy action, and removes the causes at the same
time. It's purely vegetable in composition, being en-.
tlrcly free from all mercurial or mineral poisons, and
possesses rare virtues as q remedy for heart disease
and rheumatism. We have neither ime nor space to
do this medicine full justice; but the public can obtain
full particulars in the shape of pamphlets and circulars
by addressing Hunts Remedy Company, Providence,

The Fresh-air Fallacy.

Fifty years ago few people knew much
about Ventilation, or, indeed, believed
much in its Importance; and a crusade
the sanitarians. Now the tide runs the
other way, and all the dull people have
learned the phrase ''fresh air. and in
sist on having what they call ''fresh
air" at any cost, and without regard to
times and places. Two men will come
into the spacious parlor of a club, the
air, though warm, is much purer, and
cooler by five degrees, than the furnace
blast of the streets that they have left.
The incomers are entirely comfortable
until one of them notices that the win
dows are shut. Then they remember
the formula ':fresh air." the windows
are ordered open; in comes the heated
gust from without, laden with the ami
NAL refuse that forms the chief ingre-
dent of the dust in our large cities.
These intelligent gentlemen draw near
the open window; they inhale the
''winged odors' of the streets, they
murmur their formula, ga little fresh
air." they have cleared their consci-
ences, and are happy. And in travel
ing, what do we not suffer from this
ignorant conception of ''fresh air!' We
have all seen the lady who must have
the window open in the railway car
riage; in the summer she breathes
the railway sparks and cinders, and she
catches a severe cold on every winter
journey; nothing short of pneumonia
will convince her narrow ignorance
that there are other things to think
about in travelling than what she calls
.fresh air."-T II. Coan, IN HarperJ

Farmers Sons and Agricultural Col.
leges.

A great deal is being said about the
sphere and usefulness of agricultural
colleges. Prof. G. G. Caldwell argues
that the fault is with the farmers, who
take no interest in the matter, and that
''ninety-nine hundredths of the farmers
do not see any use for a course at one
of these colleges, either for themselves
or their children; and will
neither 60 near the college nor send
their sons there's" while Peter Hender-
son, in criticising the Professors arti-
Gle, seems to carry the idea that an ag-
ricultural education fails to make a
successful farmer, and for this reason
farmers will not "walk up to the rack;
fodder or no fodder"
1t seems to me there is another fea-
ture which enters into the consideration
Of this subject. 1t has been said that
agricultural schools are a failure, mas
much as they educate boys off Ct the
farm. If a medical school or law col
lege turn out fifty graduates you natur-
ally look upon that number as so many
recruits to the ranks of the law or medi-
cine; but if an agricultural college turns
out fifty graduates you don't know what
to expect. You may anticipate that
five out of the fifty will go back on to
the farm. Now, then, what is the mat
ter? Where lies the trouble? There is
a nut loose somewhere, and many per-
sons are apt to say ''this is the fault of
the college"
think that is laying the charge at
the wrong mans door. The seeds of
this growth were sown on the farm. No
matter how much the man may like
farming, and no matter how strong his
desire that the son should continue on
the old homestead and make a SUCCESS
full farmer, the chances are nine to one
that the course which he has pursued
with the boy has turned the latter's
mind directly against the business and
made him swear to himself when he
started off to college: eff you ever
catch me on a farm after I'm my own
boss I hope somebody will kick me
across a ten-acre lot" The fault is in
the home-life of the farmer-in the
gradual and unconscious training Cor,
rather, lack of training,) which the boy
has received from the time he was BIG
enough to carry water to the field until
ne had to do a mans work. The alpha
and omega of his instruction have been,
s'Work, my son, work" He has never
been told that it is not simply work, but
intelligent work which achieves the
highest result; and without any distinct
idea of the aim of life he has long since
resolved that the aim of a boy should be
to get off of the farm.
What is the remedy? Any suggestion
of a remedy would require a long chap
ter, and l shall simply ask, does not
this subject resolve itself into the old
question, ''How shall we keep the boys
on the farm?".~C2em AuA5oa, ta Rura!

Restored to Life.

Nv When n &C Captain ! Dobbins, superintead
th h' oa Inc Llfe-saving Service, was in
Ine Guy curing the late flood, he left
Win Captain Billy Devan a list of
printed instructions for resuscitatine
apparently drowned persons. CAPTAIN
Devan furnished each one of his men
With a copy of the instructions. and in.
syructed them to study them closely.
Yesterday he concluded to rive tho
mode of resuscitation a practical test
ior the purpose of seeing how proficient
his men would prove themselves to he
in the art of restoring to life persons an
parently drowned. Billy Drazell. one
OF the toughest men of the crew. was
selected as the victim upon whom to
make the test. OF course, he was not
let into the secret, and at given signal
ne was thrown overheard. Two of the
crew then leaped after him and held
him down under the water until he was
almost a ''goner." Then he was pulled
aboard the boat and the practical test
commenced. The victim was laid first
on his back with a roll of carpet under
him amidships. The water was wiped
away from his mouth and nostrils.
Then he was slapped vigorously three
or four times on both sides of the chest.
With Tony Connolly astraddle of him.
and Ed Farrell and Tony Leopold at
either end, the victim was picked up
and turned over, face down. Then the
pumping process commenced. Placing
his fingers under the short ribs and the
ball OF his thumb on the back of the
victim, Connolly pressed downward
and forward, causing a stream of water
to squirt from Drazell's mouth that
would have reached to the roof of a
four-story building. Then he was raised
up in mid-air and shaken for a moment
or two, when he was turned over on his
back and pumped" again. At every
squeeze the water flew from his mouth
and presently he showed signs of re-
turningli life. Captain Devan and JackG Gil.
looly, who had been sitting silently by
to see that the job was correctly per-
formed, knew that when Drazell "came
to" there would be trouble, and with
the order ''ksp pumping him, boys"
they retired to a distant part of the
boat. Presently the victim opened his
eyes and almost instantly realized what
had been going on. Fire flew from his
eyes as he sprang to his feet, and
the ''boys" who had been in.
strumental in bringing him to-" knew
that it was time for them to be 'dust-
ing" Connolly jumped through an open
window into the river. Leopold dashed
into the hold of the boat, while Farrell
rushed to the hurricane deck and
climbed the flagstaff. Captain Devan
and Jack Gillooly had already secured
a safe place on an adjoining wharf.
boat. With nobody to revenge himself
upon, Drazell soon cooled down and the
e came forth from their refugees OF
safety. These drills, or practical tests,
will take place every Tuesday, and who
the next victim will be remains to be
seen.-Louisvi1e Commercial.

Japanese Shampooing.

On a fine day one can scarcely walk
a square in any of the more thickly.
populated districts of Toxic without
hearing the shrill whistle of the blind
shampooer, as with long stick in hand
he slowly feels his way, calling out
his fee for a complete shampoo.
A system Of employment for the blind
so suited to their condition, affording
as it does fair profit and an abundance
of healthful exercise indoor and out,
certainly deserves at least passing no..
tice.
Shampooing, or perhaps, more-prop-
erly speaking, massage, as practiced by
these blind men (called amma), con-
sists of a gentle rubbing with the palms
of the hands of the surface of the whole
body, together with passive exercise of
the joints, and a slow kneading of the
superficial muscles, more particularly
those of the trunk and extremities.
The sensation to the subject is usually
very pleasant, especially if submitted
to after violent or long continued exer-
| ton, as after a difficult climb or a long
| walk.
Japanese physicians recommend it in
tables dorsalis and certain other forms
of paralytic disorders, as well as in hys-
terra and some kinds of headache, in
lumbago, and in many other diseases,
also in convalescence from diseases in
which there has been loss of power or
wasting of the muscles. The skill and
anatomical knowledge sometimes ac-
quired by these unfortunates are truly
wonderful, for, besides a gentle touch
and an almost instructive appreciation
of the seat Of pain, many of them know
all the superficial muscles, and can
eve tell in what position to insert
needles for the cure of certain diseases.
