MIlk Diet for Bright's Disease.

Washington correspondence Nashville Union: Congressman Rankin, of Wisconsin. is sitting an example for hisiellowmembers,and at tho same time demonstrating the value of the milk cure for that great ly dreaded and and prevalent malady, Bright's disese. He was. 1t will be remembered, very ill last winter with this complaint, so much so that his life was despair ed of. The physicians put him on all exclusive diet of milk. and have permitted him to eat nothing else. They sent hun South, him from the date of his attack until now, with absolutely nothing else to sustain life but milk. And he has come back from the south looking and feeling greatly improved. Instead 0! being unable to walk as was the case three months ago, when he left here for Georgia, he now per. ambulates about town and in the departments, taking his share of the distribution of offices for his state, and greatly improved in  every way. He has lost some if ty pounds of flesh during.the three months, but as he still weighs l75 he is not feeling especially dis. turbed about the loss, He expect, to continue the milk diet, he says, for at least nine months longer
 making up the full year, by which time he expects to be pretty wei
 again. His improved appearencs
 isa great surprise 10 many who die
 not beleive they would ever SC,
 him alive again.

Every day you meet dozens of elderly people in whose face there is no intelligence--their features wooden or animalish, their eyes muddy false. Yet they were once bright and young asyou are; they tn sy dreamed, as you dream, ot great and good things to come. And they had moments of serious thought and high resolve. All these damaged old people are so many oncp.young. What are the causes of failure' Possibly some of them are victims of blighting mis- fortune or injustice; possibly some of them passed through their early years without adequate guardiance, wise instruction, or kindly en- couragement But multitudes have failed from unfaithfulncss to tbemsel, es. from neglect of every day advantages-alw always from some inward defect.
 None of as can live well by an occasional good resolution. Ev- yerything depends on storing np yourselves an ever increasing fund of moral power, which shall always be available to sustain you in car rying out your better purpose. Unless we are willing to live as moral tramps, on the brink of in ward poverty and misery we must invest our all in this higher busi- ness. so that every transaction or life shall yield us spiritual income. Nothing is secure until we are es- tablished in right habits, rooted and grounded in heavenly prlncl' plss. We want to become fixed and unchangeably good. This comes from asking the love of good which is identical with the love of God, the supreme and controlling law, of the central interest and the fountain of motives. We shall do better than keep ourselves decent we shall be purcr and truer than the world asks us to be: we shall re- qure of ourselves a higher stand ard than our best friends expect. We shall be continually transform ed by the renewing of our minds.
 The main question is not "Nha! is to become of us!' Nor is tho an. swcr difficult, We need not wres tie painfully with questions of doc trine, nor wait to construct creed. If we are simply faithful-if we follow tho light that God gives, il we arc humble enough to learn from all sources, and yet fimly true to reason and consciencc-ws cannot miss the road; we shall move to. ward our true place in the mi verse. e.-Charles Amcs.

Cancer Cared.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Walton county, and a lady of culture and prominence, has this to say of the treatment of [ cancer with Svrfts Specific:
 Over fifteen years ago cancer made it's appearance on my face. It was treated with plasters, and tho core cAmoout. The place heal. cd up after some time, and seem :. ingly my face was we'll. However :, in a few years it returned again with more violence than ever. It gave me great deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to run in the family, having had one sister to die with cancer, became seriously apprehensive of my con dition. It continued to increase in size and viIulencs. l almost gave up all hope of ever being cured. The physicians advised the use of the knife and caustic. This was more than l could bear, and re. fused 10 have operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but the cancer confined to grow worse. The pain was ex. cruciating, and my life was a bur den. In this extremity my son, Dr. Hardman, recommended nc to try Swifts Specific. It was the last resort. but l was so predudic- ed against the use of patent medi- ciues, and especially this one, and l hcsitated some time. At last 1 gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first bottle only increased the size ofihe sore and the discharge from it, and hence did not inspire me with any hope, On taking the second bottle there were signs of improvement, and my faith strengthened just in proportion to that improvement, The spot on my face began to decrease, as well as the discharge, and hope sprang up in my heart. Could it be, l ask ed myself, that 1 was at last to be
 relieved of this disease. It has given me 80 many dark hours in
 the past that the idea of being well

Value of Fruits and Berries.

The human system requires for
 it's healthy preservation variety of food. IL IS true generally in our country that our people eat too much meat. too much sweets. and use too | |;h le.d. The frying pan is one of the great abOmina- iions of our country. Potatoes, sometimes bread and other arti- cles are fried almost swimming in grease. Those who are exposed 10 out, door labor of cold winter can better take such q diet of q carbon, but 1t is often continued hy sOmc families away into the summer, when the system re, qnires a great change in diet
 from one that is heating to one
 more cooling. Not only so but at all seasous of the year, our food contain more or less acid. Hence
 in the winter stewci applss, tart iellies, canned tonatoes, etc . Should bs provided in ample sup ply. The acid,of all these articles serves the purpose of liver pills, that is it works upon the liver: causes it to ac., or sets it to work.
 With the liver in healthy action, the majority of diseases have little chance to step i'll. Like the lungs, it is a great purifying organ Of the system. When it becomes torpid, or active for want of it's proper stimulus, it sends its unh calthy bile into inc circulation, thu. pois- oning every particle ofthe system. The blood becomes thick, the tongue yellow coated the complex ion more or less sallow, and the eyes lose their brilliancy' Then often commence chills and fever, bilious or typhoid fever, diarrhea, dysentcry or some other disease, all having the same origin, a bili- ous condition of the system. Dis cases do not spring from chance; for a sufferer attributes his sickness 10 the workings of a mi.terious Providence when, if he but knew the laws of health, and the require. ments of his own system, and put his knowledge to practical use, he might preserve his health, per. haps in perfection.
 Without going into any detail of plans and arrangements, such as some intelligent families ob,ervo, l wish to call the attention of the farmers to the er9at importance on ample supply of fruits and ber- ries. The needed acid is thus fur. nished for working the liver, and instead of the stomach and bowels being heated in wIrm weather by meats, grease and sweets they are kept cool. Hence, less tendency to diarrhea, dysentery, cholera morbus, etc. for there is little If any cause of action. Many far mers do not know the value to health of fruits and berries. They often look upon them as expensive luxuriswhereas they often preserve health, lessen doctors bills, and are thus cheap blessings. As it will soon be time for spring set ting of fruits and berries, let all begin to think what is needed.-J. $. H., in Indiana Farmer.

Not DeadYet.

Atlanta pape are giving the public some curious and ', wonderful cases that are quite interesting. IL seems that a young lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of the Atlanta Journal that he was still alive, and being on the alert for news, q reporter was sent to the residence to learn all the facts. Miss Belle Drnaway, whe had been pronounced dead, moi him at the door, stOutly denying that she WAS dead. She said:

THE WHISKY QUESTION.
The amendments TO fhe proLibitory
liquor law. passed by the last session
cfthe legislature. took effect on the
10th day OF last March Since that
time we have watched with some de-
gree of interest the result its opera
ton. At the time the bin was pre-
scented to the legislature, we felt CON
fideat that il contained several weak
points, aluong which We're the state
ment" clause and the almost un-
limited power conferred upon the
Probate judge. Al that time we cali
ed the attention of the author OF the
bill to that fact, but be thought the
'.hOuOl." that men possessed would
prevent the abuse OF those liberal pro
visions. The result has-shoWn that
Mr. Vance placed too high an estimate
upon the general honor OF human
ity.
For some time we lave felt it to be
our duty TO expose the abuses of the
Law in our own county, bat have here
uorore RETAINED from doing so, under
the hope thaU tbs parties who have
been making such extensive sales
would gradually cease, or that the
Probate Judge would revoke their per
Rllts. But week after week has come
and gone, and the sales, instead OF
diminishing have increased with
a arniug rupiGity. The schemes for
avoiding record evidence OF those
sales, have likewise increased with the
continued influx OF business.
We realize ti.at it is not only the
2JroUjnce OF Il newspaper to give its
patrons the real facts ia regard to this
luatter, but it is also its duty. There
fore we shall devote considerable space
ueXt week in giving to the public the
real con-,ilion OF the sales OF liquor in
our county. We DO not do this out
of any malice or spite work whatever,
there is no acrimony i'm The action
which we shall take. 1t is simply Il
matter OF news which the public have
a right to KNOW, and which public
Journals i'm duty bound to give. Act
ing upon this proposition, and also
with "a desire 10 assist in q saiutary en-
forcenent of all the laws upon our
statute books, we shall endeavor to
give this matter thorough investi-
gaIiOn.
There are five classes of men to
blame for this deplorable state of af-
fairs. First, the men who wiIlfulIy
make false statements with which to
procure liquor; Second the druggists
who sell upon statements which they
know to be frauds and to parties who
are in the habit OF becoming iutoNi-
Gated; Third, the Probate Judges who
do not revoke permits when the drug
gists holding them file statements
which show fraud upon their faces;
Fourth, County Attorneys and other
officers of the law who fail to DO their
sworn duty; Fifth, and not least, the
general public, who, day after day see
the violation of the law but make no
effort whatever to have it enforced.
We would suggest that 5he Probate
Judge make careful examination
and see whether or not some OF the
men TO whom he has granted permits,
are not daily betraying the confidence
Ae has bestowed upon them
