A Eady's Opinion.

Mrs. Geo Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
"DR. S. B. HARTMAN g. Co., Columbus.
Ohio: I commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERUNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. I
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
time and was just giving up in despair
when | got one of your books, "The Ills
of Life" was in bed at the time. l
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more,
was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. l told them
PERUNA was the medicine l needed, and
intended to try bottle. 1t proved a sue
cess in breaking the chills, and if it had
not done one thing more, | would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
so well, as they all thought l was diving
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much to say for the PERUNA as
|. ! recommend it to everybody | see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. l
gave the one my book to read; told her
TO bring it back, as priced it very high
ly. The other got the name of the Pc
RUNA TO send to his son in Chicago. He
is a telegraph operator, My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Migrants,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was a lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was a long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance it in a few days, but
l thought would attend to that myself
so put little fly blister on it and il
opened; then put poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time
1t got so bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast Then there were two places or
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was just dreadful
No tongue can tell what suffered. My
head felt so strange sometimes, l thought
/ was going crazy. Since l have USED
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away
And oh, what a relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. l feel like letting everybody
know all about it"

The editor of the Methodist Times
personally witnessed the Hebrew pas
cal SERVES in one Of the Synagogues
of London at the last annual celebra-
ton. He made many inquiries re-
speeding their present ceremonial sig
niticance. One topic which has been
somewhat in disputein the Baltimore
Preachers Meeting and places may
be illuminated by quotation from
his report:
"Supper being ended, | said.
amongst other things, to an intelli
gent and affabIe Rabbi, who sat next
to me, May ask with what kind OF
wine you have celebrated the Pass
over this EVENING"
with Misunderstanding Wine,' he
promptly replied. Jews never use
fermented wine in their synagogue
services, and must not use it on the
Passover eitherfOr synagogue or home
purposes. Fermented liquor of any
kind comes under the category OF
'leaven,' which is prescribed in so
many well known places in the Old
Testament. The wine which is used
by Jews during the week of Passover
is supplied to the community by those
licensed by the Chief Rabbits Board,
and by those only. Each hottie is
sealed in the presence of Il rcpreseu-
tatiYe of the ecclesiastical authorities.
The bottle standing yonder on the
sidebOard from which the wine used
tonight was taken was thus sealed,
may also mention that poor Jews who
cannot afford to buy tins wine make
an unfcrmented wine of their own,
which is nothing else but an Infusion
OF Valencia and Muscatel raisins. |
have recently read the passage i'm
Matthew in which the Paschal Sup
per is described. There can be no
doubt whatever that the wine used on
that occasion was unfermented. Jesus
as an observant jew would not only
not have drunk fermented wine on
the Passover, but would not have
celebrated the Passover in any house
from which everything fermented
had not been removed. / may mem
ton that the wine / use at the syna.
gogue is an infusion Of raisins. You
will allow me, perhaps, to express

One day in 1878, during the prog
ress of a game between the Cincnna-
tbs and Bostons at the Avenue
grounds, Charley johnson, of the

"boning" a brother newspaper man

desperation. said, as Will White
came to the bat: cpl bet you that
man don't makea homerun," White
at that time usually struck out, and
was not known to hit hard. The
offer was, therefore, not fattering
one, and Johnson replied: "What
odds will you give me?" This re-
ply came assuringly and boldly:
my watch and chain against quar-
ter" What are they worth ?" asked
johnson, "Two hundred and fifty
dollars" was the reply. johnson
studied a moment and then said ::
"Pll go you" The quarter and the
watch were handed over to Jerry
Cochran as stakeholder.
Just then White whanged away at
the ball and it went away down to-
ward the carriage gate. oyer the CEN
ire fielder's head. He had never be-
fore made a home run, but it now
seemed assured. He lost a little
ground by stumbling over third and
came In collision with the ball right
at the home plate. Even then there
was doubt as to whether he had
scored or not, but when the umpire
said "Out !" the owner of the watch
sank back on the bench Speechless,
moist, cold and almost paralyzed.
After he regained his power of speech
he whispered "Boys, I've made
my last bet. Take me home" A
week later re appeared on the streets
and swore he didn't stop sweating
for two days after the bet had been
saved, and that he had to use alcohol
to close the pores.

Amenities Of War.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
While we were in front of Chatta-
nO0ga it became fashionable along
the picket line to exchange papers
The plan was for COnfederateS who
wanted a paper to come to the front,
shake a southern paper as a flag OF
truce. and in this way invite eX-
changes. The pickets on either side
in that immediate vicinity would
cease firing, the Union soldier would
start from his line and the COnfeder-
ate from his line, and they would
meet half way, shake hands, eX-
change papers, and if there were no
officers in sight, sit down and have
chat, This had been kept up for sey-
eral days, when there came an order
from headquarters that no more pa
pers should be exchanged. But the
boys, choosing their time for exchange
continued the practice against orders.
There came a week, however, in
which no rebel responded to waving,
or shaking, or flutterings Of paper or
handkerchief, and we knew that or
ders against exchange had been
issued on that side as well as on
ours.
But one morning my partner dis
covered a man on the rebel line fran
tlcalIy waving a large paper. He
suggested that we slip away from
the reserve and 90 out and see what
the man wanted, He took paper,
and we started toward the rebel in
front. When we had proceeded
about half way to the point Of meet
ing the fellow ceased to wave his pa
per. We were puzzled at this, and
concluded that he was down in a hoI-
low, and we would see him when he
came up on high ground. So we
walk ed without warning into a
group of soldiers at the rebel picket
post. The men were Just ready to
take breakfast, and after the first
furry they joked US a good deal
about our extraordinary willingness
to getsintO their clutches at breakfast
time. When we spoke Of the ex
change Of papers the officer in charge
informed us that orders were posi-.
tive against exchange, and that all
his men understood it. As this was
the case, he took the position that we
had come willingly into their lines,
and that he could not allow US to re-
turn. | saw at once that his men
disagreed with him, but the question
was how we were to get away.
My partner, who had been SOL
der in Germany. joined in the jokes
at our expense, and proposed that he
make the boys some coffee that was
coffee. The C0nfederates had very
poor excuse for that article, and
without more ado he proceeded to
make kettle of coffee, the aroma of
which seemed to fascinate the coffee
hungry sharpshooters. When he
had poured the coffee into the cups
and had eXpatiated on the good it
would do the men, he took up his
rifle and said to me: "NoW let us
start for our own line" l followed
him, and not a soldier on that picket
post lowered the cup Of coffee from
his lips or looked our way.

Popular Errors Concernig Health.

Popular Errors COncernig Health.
Prof. George H. Robe, of the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons, Bal
timore, in recent lecture on "Some
Popular Errors Concerning Health
and its Preservation" quoted the
saying, zone Mans meat is another's
poison" and showed that. while
idiOsyncrasies with regard to certain
articles of food or medicines do exist,
they are far less frequent than is gen
orally believed. Articles of food
which ordinarily disagree may be
better borne if differently cooked. a
more serious error is that one should
rise from the table hungry. The
sensation of hunger is a cry of the
tissues for food, and should always be
appeased. Much of the i.l-health of
brain workers is due to lack of suf-
ficient food. 1t is impossible to lay
down hard rules as to the quantity of
food one should eat, but the remarks
of the old country doctor who had
lived in good health, doing hard work
until fOurscOre and ten, might be
taken as examples. 81 have always
eaten when | wanted to eat, as much
as l wanted, and the best food | could
get" Another fallacy is, that all
diseases are due to disturbances of
digestion. Graham bread, oatmeal,
cracked wheat, etc., are more difficult
of digestion than pure wheat bread.
1t is dangerous error to withhold
cold drinks from persons sick with
fever. 1t is cruel, ohjectless, and the
dangers that are said to follow it are
imaginary. The effects of alcohol
upon the body were discussed at some
length, and the conclusion drawn
that alcohol does not supply heat to
the body, but rather withdraWs it.
The greatest danger to the man VINO
gets dead drunk in cold weather is
that he may freeze to death. The
use of alcoholic drinds in health is
injurious, but its medicinal use is
valuable in many instances. The
notion that we should not battle while
Overheated is as unreasonable as it is
widespread, but persons should not
remain in the bath long enough to
become chilled. The traditional AK
ION that boils are in evidence ofgOOd
health is a snare and delusion. Prof
Robe said: "For my own part,
should prefer to be without that sort
of health. Even Job, when suffer-
ing from an abundant crop, could
not gain consolation from his would
be comforters."
That vaccination does not prevent
smallpox is very dangerous error,
but that it is preventive of other dis
eases is equally fallacy. Statistics
prove that before the introduction of
vaccination deaths annually from
smallpox numbered nearly 5000 for
every million inhabitants. Since the
practice has become general the per-
centage of deaths has fallen to about
One-tenth of the former number
Without vaccination the deaths from
smallpox in this country would be
100000 year. Vaccination has not
increased other diseases. That any
one remedy is cure for all diseases
that affiict humanity is an absurdity
While hydropathy and electropathy
are unquestionably of benefit in some
dieeases, they cannot be relied upon
for the cure of all.
