Lead Poisoning.

Mr.. Zenas Morse, Constitution street, No
bile, Ala, under date July 18th, says:
For eight years have suffered from lead
poison. At times | have been unable TO walk,
and II was a common occurrence to have my
lower limbs black and blue from bruises re-
ceived from falls, when my legs would give
way under me.
On the 10th Of last April commenced using
Swifts Specific. The drst effect was on my
kidneys. I also noted an increase OF appe-
tte ana better digestion, and more quiet and
peaceful sleep at night The irritabity
which continued to annoy me during the day
also disappeared.
At the end OF the third bottle my improve
ment in color, weight, and in walking has
been marvellous, 40 marked that acquaint-
anccs have stopped me and congratulated me
upon my recovery. j confess that / was

SAVED BY A woMAN's PLEA.
A Widows Prayer for Her Husbands
Murderer too Much for Texas Jury.

A Widows Prayer for Her Husbands
Murderer too Much for a Texas Jury.
4t3 From tho San Francfsoo cal.
A celebrated murder case, which has
been occupying the attention Of the
courts here for years past, came to an I'M
expected end today. The case was that
of Edward Bean, about % years OF age,
charged with killing Henry Stevens in
Gregg county. In a former trial Bean
was found guilty and sentenced TO death.
The Court Of Appeals granted new trial,
and the case came before the jury to-day.
When called upon 10 plead. young Bean
arose and with voice trembling with
emotion said: "Iour honor and gentle
men OF the jury, plead guilty as an ac-
complete to the murder Of Henry Stew
ems, and appeal 70 your humanity for
mercy"
There was not dry eye in the court
room. Under the Texas statutes, Bea n
deliberately surrendered his life and left
II with the Jury 10 say whether he should
die or live. A Sill more tragic scene took
place when the widow OF stevens came
forward, leaning on the arm OF her VEN
cradle father, DR.. Venom, and with a
voice which 10 the seli-cOniessed muir
deTer must have sounded Ike an angels,
she pleaded for the murderer's life. be-
cause Of his yOuthfulneBs when the crime
was perpetrated, and said;
s'And for his broken-hearted mothers
sake ask you, gentlemen, not 10 she'd his
blOodD
Although a thousand people were pres
ent, yet pin could have been heard TO
drop as the widow took her seat, With
tears streaming down their bronzed
cheeks the jury retired, and within a few
moments returned.
'Genllemen," said the Judge, shave
You reached "a verdictp'
"We have, your Honor" said the fore
man. "We fix the punishment at hard
labor In the pententiary Tor life.D
The face Of the young prisoner, over
whose head the death sentence had hung
for months, instantly frightened. He
lifted his hands as though 10 hide tear,
and murmured prayer.

the small bones. 1t was long time IN heal
ing up, and brought on chronic sore leg. The
usual remedies were used, but the ulcers did
not heal, and from this my whole blood be-
came poisoned. After exhausting the old
remedies, and after having declined IN weight
from 1876 pounds to 20 pounds, / commenced
the use of SwifPs Specific. At that time l
as one Of the most pitiable looking objects

knew me thought l would be dead man in
very short time. Contrary to all expectation
/ noticed before had finished the third bot
tie that the sore on my leg had commenced TO
heal. / took wine Glassful three times
day, before eating, and my appetite increased
almost from the first. l regained my strength
and flesh, and, at the end Of five months, there
was not a sign of the disease left-the sore
nicely healed. From that day to this l have

DELIGHTED MOTHER !!

GENTLEMEN: Feeling t. a. to your prepara-
ton, S, S. S., ] am indebted for the life Of my
little daughter, take pleasure IN submitting
the following statement, which feel is due to
the public for the benefit OF suffering humanity
In the year 1888 my daughter was poisoned
by what is knoWn as 'pOi5ou oak" and in
very short time she was completely covered
with sores. The pain WAS intense, and her
arms, legs and face were the exact fac slmue
of the bark of n tree. She was incapable OF
using her limbs. ! Immediately called In
member OF the medical profession, who said 1t
was the worst case that he had ever seen, and
no one who saw h thought that she could
possibly recover. Only q mother can appre-
ciate my feelings, as gazed upon my child in
this condition. In this frame Of mind saw
the advertisement OF Swifts Specific in the
Charleston Nc,0s and Courier, and immedi-
ately commenced to give her this medicine.
The first bottle showed such a marked i'm
provement that continued il, and, before the
third bottle had leen used. she had entirely
recovered.
l would have given the above statement
sooner, but every one who knew nything about
the ''p0ison oak" stated that they never knew
a case cured that did not break out every sue
ceeding spring. For my own satisfaction
waited, and can now safely assert that 1t " as
a complete cure, as it has not made its appear
ance since in the slightest manner. cannot
be thankful enough that l saw the advertise-
ment and procured the medicine.

Caution 10 Consumers.

swifts Specific, like every other good rem
edy, is inflated and couuterfeited TO large
extent. These limitations, substitutes, etc,
are cotton up not 20 sell on merit OF their
own, but on tho reputation OF our article. OF
course all that these imitators get is simply
stolen from us. But the public who buys
them is the greatest sufferer.
Since our Specific has gotten to be so staple,
the price has been cut in some instances be-
tween druggists, and some dealers have been
known 60 say they did not wish to sell it, be-
cause they could make money on some potash
and mercury initiation. This may be very
well for the druggist, but is very hard on the
sick man.
We advise consumers, therefore, to be care
ful to get the genuine Swifrs Specific and not

ask of what color he was and if he replies
"bay," believe him. Ben Dyab, a renowned
chief of the desert happening one day to be
pursued by Saad. el-Zentay, turned to his son
and asked "what horses are in the front of
the enemy?" white horses" replied the
SON." ut is well let us make for the sunny
side and they will melt away like butter"
Some time aiterward Ben Dyab again turned
to his son and said "What horses are in the
front of the enemy ?" "Black horses" cried
his son." ut is well Let us make for stony
ground and we shall have nothing to fear;
they are the negroes of the Soudan, who cam
not walk with bare feet upon the tlints." He
changed his course and the black horses were
speedily distanced. A third time Ben Dyab
asked, And now what horses are in front of

Lemon Juice from Malaria.

We have already noticed the recommends
ton of DR.. Tommasi Crudelli of Rome in ref.
erence to the use of lemon juice in malaria.
Before the last International Medical Con-
gress this professor gave the following direc-
tons for preparing the remedy. A lemon is
cut up, peel and all, into thin slices, which
are then put into three glassfus of water and
the whole boiled down TO one gassful. 1t is
then strained through linen, squeezing the
remains of the boiled lemon, and set aside
for some hours to cool. The whole amount
of the liquid is then taken fasting. DR.. Mas
cagni of Italy has succeeded with this remedy
in curing an obstinate case of malaria in his
own person that had resisted quinine. 1t is
well known that in Italy, Greece and North
Africa they often use lemon juice or decoc-
ton of lemon seeds, as remedy in malaral
ievers ofmoderate intensity and in Gauda-
loupe they use for the same purpose decoc-
ton of the bark of the roots of the lemon
tree. All these popular practices tend to
show that the lemon tree produces febrifuge
substance, which resides in all parts of the
plant, but which would seem to be most
abundant in the fruit. In fact, among the
popular remedies employed against malarial
infection, this is the most efficacious, for it
can be employed with good effects in acute
fevers. But 1t is especially advantageous in
combating the chronic infection, which is re-
bellious to the action of quinine, and in re-
moving or moderating its deplorabe effects.

An Every Day Occurrence.

Once upon time Donkey fell into a
deep hole, and, after nearly starving, caught
sight of a passing fox, and implored the
stranger to help him out.
81 am too small to aid" said the fox, "but
will give you some good advice. Only a
few rods away is a big, strong elephant. Call
to him and he will get you out in a itfy."
After the fox had gone the Donkey thus
reasoned to himself: II am very weak for
want of nourishment. Every move make
is just so much additional loss of strength.
If raise my voice to call the elephant shall
be weaker yet No, will not waste my sub
stance that way. 1t is the duty of the ele-
plant to come without calling"
So the Donkey settled himself back and
eventually starved to DEATH
Long afterwards the fox on passing the
hole saw within it whitening skeleton, and
remarked: IF it be true that the souls of
animals are transmigrated into men, that
Donkey will become one of those merchants
who can never afford to advertise. "-Philadel.

The Paper Was Not Old Enough.

The New York Sun of recent date publish
ed the following striking case OF circumstan-
tial evidence After the big wooden house of
Ferdinand and Benjamin Mayer, of White
street, which failed for So ,400,0 900, made an
assignment on September "a to Simon Dan
zig, James T. Swift 81 Co., of SO Worth street,
brought suit to have the assignment set
aside. Swift and Co., were heavy creditors,
and with the other creditors suspected that
the assignment was made with a design of
defrauding those who had Just claims on the
81 800 900 nominal assets left by the firm. 1t
was found that the firm had made preferred
creditor of Martin Clayburgh, of Chicago, for
81 900, the amount of a promissory note
dated July 1S, 1881. When the case came to
trial before Judge Ingraham, in the superior
court, both the Mayors swore that the note
represented bona fide debt for loans adj
vanced by Clayburgh.
James T. Swift insisted that the note was
fraudulent, and called Messrs. Arthur and
Bonnell, the stationers who printed it, to
prove their assertion. The margin of the
note bore the stationer's imprint in tiny let
tiers, with the address GA Nassau street. They
testified that on July IS, 1884, the date of the
note, they did not occupy the premises Ga
Nassau street, and that the paper on which
they printed the note could not possibly have
been delivered by them until after May, 1882,
when they took possession of the office at GA
Nassau street.
This testimony created a genuine sensation
in the court, but it was not made public un-
til yesterday that it was the basis of the in
dctment for perjury that the grand jury
found against the Mayors on Monday, and
under which Judge Gildersleeve required
them to furnish $4,000 bail. The court dis
placed Simon Danzig on the testimony in the
suit, and appointed Thomas L. James in his
stead.
at was striking circumstantial proof"
Mr.. Swift said yesterday, abiding to the i'm
print on the note. II have heard of only two
cases of similar nature. One was histori-
cal instance in England, where fraudulent
deed that was designed to be introduced as a
genuine ancient document was proven a for
gerry because of the phraseoogy, which set
forth that it was executed during the reign
of King George l. 1t was argued that the
king could never have been mentioned during
his reign by such title He did not become
known in history as George I. till George II.
assembled the throne. The other case was
one in Massachusetts several years ago, where
forged will offered for probate was proven
forgery by the water mark of the paper,
which cleverly demonstrated that it was not
manufactured until after the date when it
purported to have been signed"
