The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-01-07

WASHINGTON Cry, Jan. when Chief
Justice Waite was given q copy of the dis
patch announcing that his death was near
at hand and that he had been afflicted with
paralysis last summer as telegraphed west
Monday, he was rather surprised. The state
mentS were new here and Mr.. Waite ex-
pressed the greatest surprise that such
story had been published. The
dispatch was first sent to The New York
Times and the regular correspondent in
Washington of The Times was also greatly
surprised, for he had never heard of the dis
patch until it was printed, and The Times
must have been imposed upon 1t is true
that Mr.. Waite has heen very sick and
that he is still far from well, but
he is recovering and has been con-
stantly improving for several days. His
family are now making preparations to re-
move him to southern California, where it is
hoped that the milder climate and change
of air will restore him to health and that
he will be able to resume his duties on the
| bench at least by the March term Mr.
Waite himself says that he hoped to be able
to be back in time to administer the oath Of
| office to President Cleveland. There is no
truth in the story about paralysis.

The Health Lift.

NV first acquaintance with the Health Lift was
two years ago. had then been compelled to re.
Iinquish ministry on account of an entire prostra
ton of my nervous system, which had resulted in
an inability TO sleep. l soon found that ten min
utes' exercise on the Health Lift did more to re-
lax the nervous strain, and induce sleep than
hours of walking in the open air, or than any ex-
ercise whatever. I use the Machine now, every
day, and could not do without it,
AS rest after hard study and an inauguration OF
the entire system, do not know of any exercise
that is equal to it. REV. E. P. GARDNER.
