a Boys Peculiar AiIment.
Indianapolis Times.

Peter, the eight-year-old son w. B.
Davis, a substantial farmer living near
this place, is strangely afflicted with a
malady which seems to battle the best
medical skill. Yesterday morning the
boy complained of a chill, which gave
way to a violent fever, the pupils of his
eyes dilating and specks Of frOth appear
ing on his lips. He commenced whining.
swapping and barking like a dog. and
finally went into a sDasm. While in this
condition he snapped with such force that
three Of his teeth were broken. Though
small-framed and weakly, it required
three strong men to hold him on the bed.
The sight of water drives him almost
frantic, yet he complains OF extreme thirst
continually. From about noon YESTERDAY
till this morning the little fellow passed
through eight hard spasms. The strang-
est part of all is that physicians in attend
ance emphatically deny that the child has
hydrOphobia, but is suffering with a nerve
disorder, which will cause his death from
exhaustion. The boys father also states
that to his certain knowledge the lad has
never been bitten by a dog, except about
two years ago, when aSpitz lap-dOg slight
ly wounded his hand. The case is exciting
considerable comment among the men,
bers of the medical fraternity.

All the Democrats of the Senate are

ator Vest, of Missouri, in speaking of this.
said he had never known more sincere
regret. incidentally, Vest spoke of
story which was used in Ohio against
Pendleton to show that he was personally
unpopular, and therefore uninfuential in
the Senate, and that his colleagues there
believed he would be beaten in the fight
for reelection. 1t was to the effect that
Vest himself had made formal application
for Pendleton's seat. believing that he
would not succeed himself. Vest said
the fact was simply that, having growled
at the venerable white-headed Bassett,
the DOorkeeper of the Senate, over
his assignment to seat on the
extreme outer edge Of the Sem
ate, Bassett suggested that he file an an
plication for Pendleton's seat in the event

Bassett that he could not bring himself to
file an application for a friends seat
under any such circumstances. although

as If the memory of the pangs a. d

Man is quite different in this regard,
and a glance about us will show that
numbers of our friends and neighbors
are daily becoming the worse by the
use of intoxicants. This can be rem
died by the moderate use of well
known remedy called Peruna. If the
medicine is taken daily, the appetite
for liquor will be finally removed, and
the patient, no matter what his pre-
vious condition, will be restored to
sobriety and to society. Yes, Peruna
is great medicine, and should be
used by all. Send for it.
