Ih. nomination OF JAMES u. BLAINE is a

BlAINE j. q tattooed man did not lessen
the iustncss Of his claim to the nomination,
for he was entitled to it upon every princi-
r'e Of fairness. For twenty wears BLAINE

contests by the machine element which is

Broken or Fractured?

SIS the bone broken, or only frac-
tured, doctor?" is an anxious question
often asked apropos of an injured limb.
Broken and fractured are synonymous
terms in surgery, my dear madam-it
is always lady who asks this-but I
think | know what you mean. A fully
developed bone is partly cracked
nearly always it snaps in two pieces
but the soft cartilageinous bones of
children sometimes sustain what is
called "green-stick fracture, a name
which almost explains itself, meaning
that the bone is broken through part
of it's thickness, but not separated, as
happens with the green bough of a
tree. Many people have totally erro-
neous idea, when an arm or leg is
badly bruised only, that it would be
better if it were broken. Bright across
the muscle, toor' implies that an in
jury has been received across the upper
arm in the region of the biceps, that
being the only 'muscle'' which is hon.
ored by general public recognition.
How many people know that what
they call their flesh and the lean part
of meat is nothing but muscle, the pull
leys by which every action Of the body
is performed? Common mistakes lie
in trying to walk off, rheumatism,
sprains, and other things which should
be kept entirely at rest, and in squeez-
ing collections of matter which have
burst or been lanced with view to
hasten their healing by the more speedy
emptying of their contents.-Chana6ers'
Journal.
Morris tribune., 1884-11-05
.,.,-.-- Extremely Fragile Bones.

A peculiar disease affiicts the wife OF
an Episcopal minister now residing in
small town in Minnesota, near the
Wisconsin line. The minister is we'll
known over the Northwest, and the
facts here narrate were given by
the reverend gentleman himself. A
dozen or so years ago he married
wealthy young lady OF the little
Minnesota town, and has resided
there much of the time since. Last year
he took charge of church on the
Connecticut seacoast, hoping the change
of air and scenes might benefit the con-
dition of his well-nigh helpless wife.
The hoped-for benefits did not result,
and little while ago the couple re-
turned to their old home. The gentle
mans wife is afflicted with what is
known in common English rs fragile
bones" All of the bones in her body
are gradually turning to substance
resembling hard chalk. Several years
ago an acquaintance in helping her
out of q carriage broke her collar-bone.
AS soon as it had healed one of her
arms broke while some one was assist
ing her from a vehicle. A little later
the other arm dropped helpless at her
side when she attempted to make some
use of it. After q great deal OF trouble
both of the fractures were reduced, but
in little while one of her arms was
broken in another place, the last time
caused by the sufferer merely lifting q
suear-bowl. Thus matters have run
along for several years, the unfortunate
woman breaking one of her limbs every
little while. The disease is gradually
spreading, and is now reducing the
bones of her legs to chalk. The great
est care is exercised to prevent the SUI
ferer making use of her limbs. She is
carefully lifted about and is moved
around in an invaiid's chair. Ply
sicians say if she should fall from
her chair or have an unusual shock all
the bones in her body from her knees
up would snap into small fragments,
and of course her death would ensue.
The case has attracted unusual atten-
ton among doctors, and many of the
most prominent physicians in different
parts of the country have been called
to attend the sufferer. They all unite
in pronouncing the case hopeless, and
can suggest no remedy. There are COM
paratively few cases Of the same kind
on record. The one in question is said
to be the most prominently developed
of any of the cases recorded. Fragile
bones are caused by an absence of ami
NAL matter. The cause of the disease
has never been discovered. The atflict-
ed lady in all other respects is appar-
emily enjoying the best of health. 1t is
said that death usually results in one
year, but in this instance the disease
has been fully developed for over six
years.=MilUaukee Wisconsin,.
