Chap. III. "Iias RheumatIsm;'' goes 70
Ems.
Chap. ~. Has row with his doctorl
The above chapters. Mr.. Editor, find in a
book recently published by an anonymous
author. have read deal OF sarcasm In my
day, but never read anything equal TO the
sarcasm herein contained. suspect the ex-
perlence portrayed is personal one; in
short the author intimates as much on page
81. Let me give you a syno psis:
malaria, as IL states. Is the cloak with
which superficial physicians cover up mul-
tisude OF Ill feelings which they do not I'M
derstand, and do not much care to investi-
gate IL Is also cover for such diseases as
they cannot cure. When they advise their
patient to travel or that he has overworked,
and needs rest, and 10 probably suffering
from malaria, IL Is q confession OF ignorance
or OF inability. The patient goes abroad.
The change Is a tonic, and for n time he feels
better. Comes home. Tickle appetite, fire.
quent headaches, severe colds cramps, Sleep
lessness, irritability, tired feelings, and gem
eral unftness for business are succeeded In
due time by alarming attacks OF rheumatism
which nits about his body regardless OF all
human feelings.
1t is muscular-in his back. Articular--in
his joints. Infammatory, myl how he fears
IL will fiy 10 his heartl Now or he goes to
the springs. The doctor sends him there, OF
course, TO get well; ut the same time he docs
That would hurt his businessi
Better for few days. Returns. After
while neuralgia transhxes him. He bloats;
cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot
walk; cannot sleep on his left side; is fret
ful; very nervous and irritable; is pale and
fiabby; has frequent chills and fevers; ev-
erything about him seems to go wrong; be-
comes suspicious; musters up strength and
demands TO know what Is killing himi
"Great heavensl' he cries, why have you
kept me 80 long in ignorancer'
Because" taid the doctor, ''I read your
fate i've years ago. l thought best to keep
you comfortable and ignorant OF the facts. I"
He dismisses his doctor, but too latel His
fortune has all gone to fees.
But him, what becomes OF him?
The other day a well-known Wall Street
banker said to me, 1T is really astonishing
how general Bright's disease 10 becoming.
Two of my personal friends are now dying
OF IL. But IL is not incurable am certain,
Tor my nephew was recently cured when his
physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me TO be wonderful one."
This gentleman formerly represented his
government In a foreign country. He knows,
appreciates, and declares the value of that
preparation, because his nephew, who Is q
son of Danish Vice Consul Schmidt was pro-
nounced incurable when the Remedy, War
ners safe cure, was begun. EYES," said his
father, ~ was very skeptical, but since TAX

Is said to be victim of this terrible disease.
He ought to live, but the probabilities are
that since authorized remedies can not euro
him, his physicians will not advise him to
save save e e We us &C Or sHz th9nssnas have
which Gen. Christensen, at Drexel, Morgan
q Co. told ehe regarded "as a wonderful
remedy"
Well I suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means. The internal
evidence points very strongly to this conclu-
sion.
cannot close my notice of this book better
than by quoting his advice to his readers:
eff, my friend, you have such an experi.
ence as have portrayed, do not put your
trust in physicians to the exclusion OF other
remedial agencies. They have no monopoly
over disease, and l personally know that
many of them are so very conscientious
that they would far prefer that their patients
should go to heaven direct from their power
less hands than that they should be saved to
earth by the use OF any unauthorized
means"
And that the authors condemnation is too
true, how many thousands duped, and yet
rescued. as he was, can personally testify9

charge at Bull Run, relates some of the

Several other batteries soon came into
line, so that by the time Griffin and
Ricketts, were in position near the Hen
ry House, we had, as / now remember,
twenty-six fresh guns ready for them.
"The fighting was renewed, and was
terrific. Jackson ordered me to go
from battery to battery and see that the
guns were properly aimed and the fuses
cut the right length. This was the
work of but few minutes. On return
ing to the left of the line of guns, 1
stopped to ask Gen. Jackson's permits
sion to rejoin my battery. The fight
was just then hot enough to make him
feel well. His eyes fairly blazed. He
had a way of throwing up his left hand
with the open palm toward the person
he was addressing. He threw up his
hand as he told IL to go. The air was
full of flying missiles, and as he spoke
he jerked down his hand, and / saw
the blood was streaming from it. / ex-
claimed, General. you are wounded
from his breast pocket, and began to
bind it up. Only a SCRATCH mere
scratch and galloped away along his
"Gen. Jackson's wound, received un-
der the circumstances 1 have described,
became very serious when infamma-
ton set in. On hearing, three days
after the fight, that he was suffering
with it, ! rode to his quarters, in lit
tie farm house near Centerville. AL
though it was barely sunrise, he was
out under the trees, bathing the hand
with spring water. 1t was much swol-
len and very painful, but he bore him
self stoically. His wife and baby had
arrived the night before. His little
daughter Julia was still in long dresses,
and remember tossing her, to her
great delight, while breakfast was be-
ing made ready on rude table under
the trees. OF course, the battle was
the only topic discussed at breakfast.
/ remarked in Mrs. Jackson's hearing,
General. how Is it that you can keep so
cool, and appear so utterly insensible
to danger in such storm of shell and
bullets as rained about you when your
hand was hitY He instantly became
grave and reverential in his manner,
and answered in low tone of great
earnestness: Captain, my religious
belief teaches me to feel as safe in bat
tie as in bed. God has fixed the time
for my death. do not concern myself
about that, but to be always ready, no
matter when it may overtako me- He
added, after pause, looking me full
in the face: Captain. that is the way
all men should live, and then all men
would be equally brave.
