Diabetes Cured.
New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 1884.

| New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 1884.
Mr.. Matthias Doll, business place No
% North Peters street, residence Royal
street, between Jeanne and Bartholo-
new, New Orleans, has been a most in
tense sufferer from kidney trouble (dia-
betes) for the last six long and weary
years. He said to us: Given earlier
than that l frequently suffered from
pain in the back and frequent making
OF water, but gave it no thought until
about the time stated, when the almost
constant desire to make water became
uncomfortable. The pain in the back,
and sometimes in the legs, made me so
lame at times that Icould scarcely walk.
l consulted one Of the best doctors in
this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without
deriving the least benefit. I then con-
suited from time to time, during the
last five or six years, six other physi-
clans, each one standing in the front
rank Of the medical profession in New
Orleans, and though I sometimes was a..
little relieved of some excruciating
suffering, yet upon the whole was not
only no better, but in many respects
much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that could not cross,
my legs when sitting on chair-all of
which, they said, was caused by dia.
betes. I then tried some highly Landed
patent medicines. But they all turned
out to be humbugs. I had given up
all hopes of ever getting relief, much
less being cured, when I noticed in the
papers some wonderful cures that Pc
RUNA had made in this city, as pre-
scribed by DR.. Hartman, giving the
name and address of each person
treated. I called to see him; he at once
prescribed his PERuNA, which is not
over three weeks ago. I am so much
better that if I would not improve any
more, I would not for any amount that
I had not placed myself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is
gone. The swelling and stiffness in
my leg has disappeared, and instead,
Of making water every fifteen minutes,
I nov make it once in three hours dur
ing the day, and only twice in whole
night. l am, indeed, quite we'll again.
Don't hesitate, don't say humbug, but
get the PERUNA at once and take it as
its printed label directs, or, il you think
this is OILY an advertisement, and not
strictly true, call and see me and see
for yourself"
Mrs. Huldah RIPPLE, smethport, Nc
Kean county, Pa, writes: .DR. S. B.
HARrMAN&C Co., Columbus,O. Ihave
used your PERuNA and it has done me
great deal nf good. Have recon-
mended tit, many OF my friends, who
have since expressed themselves as WON
derfully pleased with its virtues"

On the Cheneyville side Hall
pitched and played as profession
al, and had he riAed the ball in the
first part of the game as he did in
the 9th and 10th innings, the Alex
andria boys would have Jared worse;
Harper was par excellence at short,
and showed style and grace; Cal
hoon is good as a catcher, seldom
lets bail pass him, and throws
''down to second" in first-class
style; Womack was very good on
first; the others did we'll enough,
though they have room to improve.
As to the home boys they sur
passed the expectations of their
friends. Robt. Irving in the centre
field, was a dead sure catch,. and
never muffed but one ball; Biossat
at short made some excellent throws
to Ridge on first, who, as is always
the case, SACKED" them; Grogan
on second and Raxsdale in the right
field, sustained their regulations,
whilst Merritt in the left field and
Sterkx on third base, elected ap-
plause several times; Robt. Web
ster as pitch, was a little weak,
compared to the gentleman who oc
cuppied the ''box" on the opposite
side, but at the bat did we'll; VIM.
Irving, the Hercules of the team,
was Al as of yore his batting was
ahead of all, his base running to be
admired, and his catching and
throwing good.
Some fault was found with the
umpiring. This is wrong, indeed.
We all know the position is a very
thankless one, besides being hard
to fill to the satisfaction of all.

Alexandria VS.. Cheneyville.
THE VISITING CLUB vICTORIOUS
BY A SCORE OF II TO Is.

The game on Sunday, between
the Nameless team of Cheneyville,
and a nine picked in Alexandria,
was very interesting indeed, and
proved: from start to finish, one of
the most excitable and hottest con-
tested games that has ever been
played on the diamond here. The
interest manifested reminded this
writer of the celebrated Alexandria
Donaldsonville game played here
a few years back. In the game on
Sunday, however, ten innings had
to be played to decide the contest
something unusual in non-profes-
slonal games. Below we publish
the runs and outs of each PLAYER,
as also the positions they occupied:

Fourth 0f JuIY.

Probably the largest crowd Of people ever
gathered together in Hope assembled last Sat-
urday to celebrate the fourth Of July. Tho
people began to arrive at an early hour, and
long before the hour announced for the parade
the streets presented quite an animated ap.
pearance. Our merchants and business mon
had decorated their places of business with
small flags that fluttered gRily in the breeze
About II O'Clock the Calithumpian parade ap-
peared, preceded by drum, and created no
little merriment as the grotesque figures filed
by. The prize of $5 offered by the committee
for the best turnout was awarded by the judges
to j. NJ. Gurnsey and B. Williams.
Immediately after the Calithumpisn parade
came the speaking, which was participated in
by Rev. Mr.. Mckee, Rev. Thomas McElroy,
Rev. 0. P. Miller and w. C. Whisnand, each
of whom spoke words appropriate to the day,
Mr.. William S. Christian acting as master Of
ceremonies and Introducing tho speakers the
addresses being interspersed with music by the
Hope brass band. At the conclusion Of tho
speaking an adjournment was taken for din
her.
After dinner it was nearly o'clock before
the preparations for the slow ,nule race were
completed, for which there were seven entries.
Four heats were run before tho prize was
awarded to James Warner.
Most interest was probably manifested to see
tho game Of base ball between the Hope and
Clifford clubs, and as the clubs made their ap-
pearsncc on the ground the crowd quickly
gathered around, many of the ladies having
seats on the stand that had been erccted, while
others occupied seats in carriages The field
had boon well prepared, the grass having been
closely mown, raked and rolled. Both clubs
were neatly uniformed, tho Olffords in white
and the Hope boys in rcd pants and blue stock
ings. Mr. Wordcn NJ. Pope was chosen um
pire The Hope boys won the toss and sent
tho Clitfords to the bat The game was well
contested throughout, the Clifford boys leading
during the early stages of the game, but the
Hope boys soon Tapped them and showed ahead,
winning the game by score OF 81 to 81 tho
Hope club having half an inning to play. Both
clubs made some good plays.
The days celebration closed up with dance
ut the Hope House, which was largely attended.
The day will long DO remembered by those who
participated as being among the most enjoy
able of fourth Of July celebrations The weather
was enjoyable throughout tho day, and moth
ing occurred to mar its pleasure.
