CANCER OF THE EYE.
An Interesting Discussion Of the Subject by
the County Medical Society.

DR.. J. o. Stillson, Of Indianapolis, last night
read paper before a large assembly Of the
Marion County Medical Society, on the different
forms of cancer of the eye, which was illus
trated by five cases detailed in full The eyes
had been removed, and were passed about and
inspected by the members present. The paper
was further illustrated by series of colored
drawings showing the microscopic appearances
of the diseased parts, which were hung in front
of the audience. Transverse sections of the can
cerous growths, which DR.. Stillson had cut,
stained and mounted, with the assistance
of Drs. E. F. Hodges and A. W. Brayton were
exhibited to the society under microscopes In
one of the cases recovery followed upon the re-
moval of the ball; in another removal was
so long delayed that the generous growth ex-
ten ded back to the adjacent tissues, causing
death.
DR.. j. L. Thompson discussed the paper at
length. seconding the view of DR.. Stillson, that
the microscope only confirms the diagnosis
which can be positively determined by the gem
eral symptoms. Dr.. Thompson spoke in high
terms of the paper, and moved to
refer it to the State Medical Society
for further consideration before that
body. This was seconded by Dr. Joseph
Eastman, who also discussed the practical ap-
plications Of the subject, as did also DR.. E. +.
Hodges. The following delegates were chosen

An Alleged Elopement.

Merchant Policeman Andrew Wood who has
beat on Virginia avenue, is missing, and it is
currently reported that he has eloped with
Molle Peek the sixteen-year- old sister of his
wife. Mrs. Wood owns some property at Queens
vile, a small town about sixty miles south of
this city, and yesterday she left for
that place, intending to look after
her business interests. Her husband told her
that she might stay week if she chose, and en-
JOY herself. AS soon as his wife was gone, Wood
sold his beat for $40 and left for unknown parts
with the young girl Mrs. Wood returned last
night, rather unexpectedly, and surmised the
state of affairs at once. A warrant for arrest
has been sworn out against Wood.

The Hommopatbists Indlgnant.

DR.. Elder, secretary of the State Board Of
Health, says that he will not, as alleged, resort
to the courts to test the legality of the appoint
ment of DIR. Boots. He thinks the fight is not
his own, and for that reason does not intend to
mix in it. Governor Gray states that he has not
the slightest doubt that DR.. Boots will retain
his membership on the board, as DR.. Partridge
was not a legal member, never having been quail
fled, and his nomination was never confirmed.
The removal of Dr. Partridge, however, has
stirred up considerable feeling in medical cir
cles. The Homeopathists are indignant that
their representative DR.. Partridge, should be
removed and Physio medical physician ap-
pointed in his place. The Governor had not

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of i'm.
pairment of the mind from exces-
sive nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists fortboding of evil, desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding COM
pany, vertigo and nervous debility, or
when insanity has already taken place,
PERUNA and MANAL1N should be i'm
plicitly relied on. But it is never we'll
to wait so long before treatment is
commenced. The early symptoms are
loss of strength, softness of the mus
cles, dim or weak sight, peculiar ex-
preston of the face and eyes, coated
tongue, with impaired digestion; or in
Others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these
PERUNA and MANALIN should at once
be taken.
Mrs. s. Smith, Hillsville, Lawrence
County, Pa, writes: "DR. S. B. HART

body was diseased at one time or

pain disappeared, strength gradually
returned, and now am as we'll as ever
in my life, and I owe it all to your

it to my friends, and it gives better sat-
isfaction than any other medicine T
ever heard Of"

A MOST plausible explanation
of the seeming delay on the part of
President Cleveland in removing
Republicans from Office is given by
a prominent Democratic member of
Congress from Illinois. Discuss
ing the question Of appointments to
Office with President Cleveland, the
admission was made by him that "a
good many Democrats were SEEM
ingly dissatisfied with the slow way
in which changes were being made
but that they would be satisfied
after learning the cause. The Re-
publicans had manipulated bust
ness in all the departments, so that
when the Democrats came in they
could not tell the head from the tail
of affairs, and hence it was neces-
sary to move slow and to retain
these Republican officials to straight
ten out matters before removals
could begin in earnest. The close

MUSCLE GRATING.

A new feature in the practice OF
surgery, of which there is much be-
ing said in the public prints, is the
practice of muscle grating. This
process consists in taking out a dis
eased or useless mascle from pa
tent and inserting in its place a
similar part of the anatomy of some
other animal. The latest case is
that of young lady, Annie Fin
nell, who had the muscles of her
arm lacerated in such a manner as
to produce numbness and to cause
the arm to become useless. The
surgeons exsected from the hind
leg of a dog portion of muscle
about four inches in length, which
it is said they have successfully
grated in the place of the portion
of muscle removed from the young
lady's arm.
The New York Times, not to be
outdone in the way of wonderful in
novations, claims that this surgical
performance is nothing new, and
tells Of a case that occurred years
ago of a similar nature. A young
and beautiful work woman employ
ed in a whalebone factory had the
misfortune to fall against a buzz
saw and have her nose cut off,
Moved by the distress or the young
woman wha would rather have died
than to have been thus disfgured, a
kind-hearted and skilltul surgeon
proposed to replace the missing
feature by the grating process, and
removing portion of muscle from
the tail of a fine Newfoundland dog
he succeeded in giving back to the
young lady nose equal in shape
and beauty to the one she had lost,
and all seemed we'll again with the
manned beauty.
But alas The success of the
transfer was too great. With the
engrafted muscle of the dog was
transferred a portion of the dogs
nature, and the fair patient found
that whenever she was pleased,
her qualification was exhibited by
the wagging of her nose just as the
pleasure of the animal mutilated
for her benefit, was expressed by
the wagging of his tail. She soon
learned to think that wagging
nose was worse than no nose at all,
and became willing to lay down
eer new infirmity and take up again
the one for which it had been ex-
chauged.-[Ex.
