each lnan to his own case. When a
man catches Geld he thinks ii is a
slight matter which will soon pass
over. and very likely takes no extra
ordinary precautions against its
further progress. A conspicuous in
stance of this carelessness was the
case of Governor Jewell. He was a
man of robust frame. and apparently
good for twenty five years more of
lie. The particulars are briefly these:
He was taken with d chill on Febru-
airy 2 while in this city. He imme-
dlately went home and was threatened
,lth pneumonia.
By the following Tuesday he felt
50 much better that lie got up. On
Tuesday evening he moved from an
uncomfortably warm room into Il
cooler one. This brought on chill
and sent him to bed again, On Thurs
day he was again up, took Il bath and
sat FOR several hours in his dressing
gown. That night his symptoms

\ GRAPE CURE ~ AMERICA. One of
the beneiicent institutions of the Old
World is to I've introduced into our
country No less than the grape
cure. And where could this be stu
atnd more suitably than III Ham
mondsport. y. u, the village OF vine
yards? Foreign travellers tell us OF
the grape cures OF Germany, and how
every year, as the vintage time ar
iivtl. the lwtllora in the regions
where the grape Is not grown, come
ilocking to the cures, remaining dur
ing the grape season. going home re-
freshcd and inviSorated for the labors
OF another year. Hammondsport is
to I've. from the first of September
through the fall and winter, to all in
tcnt,, and purposes, grape cure.
There will still hc found the fish

and in addition to these attractions,
is that of the grapes. First. during
the latter end OF August. comes the
delicious and delicate Delaware and
the slIccule1f. luscious Concord. then
i'll quick succession ripcn the other
varieties, many of (which remain upon
the vines until late in the fall, the
more durable kinds being preserved
in their freshness by process prac

ka. An inquirer asked a French gen
tlcman of culture. who had spent
many years in Germany. for what
disease the grape cure was thought
most beneficial. He replied for all.
especially those of the liver and stom-
ach, and acting. as it does, upon these
organs. the body is refreshed. the

CURE FOR RHEUMATIsM- A gentle
man of West Newton is confident
that he knows of Il certain cure for
rheumatism. \ few years ago he was
severely afflicted by the disease. which
affected his whole system. and finally
settled in the Sciatic nerve. He suf-
fered intensely, often being deprived
of sleep. He tried many remedies
without avail, till finally Il physician
prescribed gum guiaccum and sui
phur mixed III equal parts, to be taken
i'll small doses three times a day. He
found that one dose WAS all that he
could bear. and took it at night. At
the end of ten days he was entirely
relieved of his rheumatism. He has
since had touches of the complaint,
but the above remedy always proves
eilicacious. He thinks he has recon-
mended it to at least two hundred
sufferers from rheumatism, and in
every case it affected cure except
one. and in that instance the person
continued the use of Intoxicating
drinks; yet he was benefited. A
plenty of exercise in the open air
should accompany the use of the pre-
scription.-I Boston Journal.
