How a Cholera Patient feels

The patient feels well up to within a
few hours of the attack, or, it may be
goes to bed and sleeps soundly through
the night, and Immediately on rising in
the morning is seized with violent
purging and vomiting. If judicioIsly
treated many patients recover from this,
the first stage of cholera but if neglect
ed, the tendency of the disease is te
grow rapidly worse. The patient COM
plans OF intense thirst and burning
heat at the pit of the stomach; he suf.
fers also excruciating pain from cramps
in the muscles of the extrsmities; he il
terribly restless, and his urgent cry il
for water to quench his thirst and that
some one might rub his limbs, and thus
relieve the muscular spasn. The pulse
is rapid and very weak, the respirations
are hurried and the patients voice be-
comes husky. His ceuntenance is
pinched and the integument of his
body feels inelastic and doughy,
while the skin of his hands anc
feet becomes wrinkled and purplisI
in color. The duration of this, the
second stage of cholera, is very uncer'
tan-it may last for two Or three hours
only; or may continue for twelve or
fifteen hours; but so lorg as the pulse
can be felt at the wrist there are good
hopes of the sick personsrecovery. The
weaker the pulse becomes, the nearer
the patient is to the third, or collapse,
stage of cholera, from which probably
not more than 30 per cent. recover. Ii
the third stage of the disease the yomi.
ting and purging continue, although in
a mitigated form; and The skin is GOV.
cred with clammy pa.spiration,e es.
pecially if the cramps are still severe.
The patient remains terribly restless,
longing only for sleep, and that he may
be supplied with water. His intellect
is clear but he seldom expresses any anx-
iety regarding worldly affairs, although
fully conscious of the dangerous condi-
ton he Is in. Sleep and plentiful
supply of drinking water are the sole
desires of person passing through a
collapse stage of cholera. This condi-
ton seldom lasts more than twenty
four hours, and reaction either com
1nences within that period or the patient
dies in collapse. or passes on into the
tepid stage, which in ninety nine cases
out of hundred ends speedily in death.
On the other hand, the sick person hav-
ing been in the collapse stage of cholera
some twenty-four hours Ct may be a
longer or shorter period, the tempera-
ture of his body may begin to rise, grad
ually creeping up to the normal stan
dard; the functions of animal life are
slowly restored, and she sick person

Kidney Complaints.

The kidneys form very important channel
for the outlet of disease from the system, car
rying off accumulations that poison the blood.
AS the lungs remove the carbonic acid, the liv-
er the hillary acid, so the kidneys remove the
URIC acid. The undue accumulation of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
end other chronic diseases The kidneys are
often effected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of
the urine, hot, dry skin, hectic fushes,
bloating of the body or swelling of
the limbs, annoying headaches, obstructed
circulation, with sediment or grayely or al
luminous deposits in the secretion from the
kidneys; or if that secretion be either extreme
ly pale or high colored, then the kidneys are
evidently not doing their natural work Many
suffer from serious kidney trouble without
knowing what ais them. No matter in what
form the kidney complaint may exit, there is
no better purifying regulating diuretic and
tonic than Burdock Blood Bitters; its action
upon the kidneys is at once manifested.

Frankfort-on- the-Main.

In all Europe there is nomore lovable
city than Frankfort on the Main. /
have met Americans who were as en-
thusiastic about it as Madame de Stael
was about Paris, and as much delighted
to make it their home. The Frankfurt
tiers themselves regard itas an excel
lent place to stay. Not many of them,
indeed, especially of the older stock,
can be persuaded to leave it. There
are not few of it's families whose per-
spicuous annals of residence extend
back through long line of ancestry,
for two or three centuries. There are
banks and other business houses whose
present name and location have been
continuous for 100 to $50 years. The
city itself dates back to the time OF
Charlemagne. One of its stone bridges,
spanning the River Nam, is said to
have been built eight or nine centuries
ago. A legend tells us it was placed
there by his Santanic Majesty, on .
special contract with the city fathers,
that he should have the soul of the first
creature that should pass over it. When
it was finished the shrewd Frankfurters
sent rooster across it, thereby show
ing themselves smarter than the sly
party of the second part. An image of
the rooster, surmounting a pole set up
on the bridge, commentaries the event
and confirms the truth of the story

ply is dead Twenty five years ago
what a sensation would have been

WORT House, New York. / had almost

a second rank player in the clubs, but
asked for rock as odds. Out of the
six / won but one game, and have VIZ
tually given up chess ever since.
Where was the use of toiling on, when,
after years of struggle, here was a man
who could give me rook and beat me
with ease? can see now the small
beardless young man-very much like
Edgar Poe--and the white hand, vened
like that of a lady. softly moving piece
after piece, with little hesitation, as if
he had long foreknown my move and
had patiently awaited it. No surprise
was possible to those quiet eyes. The
face of Morphy was pathetic; one could
read in it that he felt ashamed of his
interest in this game, as Montague says
Alexander the Great was. Morphy re-
garded himself as yictimized by his
success, and made a desperate effort to
free himself He became a lawyer, but
he could not make career other than
that which was written in his marvel
lous brain. j have heard that he was
much depressed of late years, though
he was beloved by all who knew him
