THEY WERE ALL WRONG=
Surgeons Agree on a False Diag- nOsis-They Operate Acording-
 ly-And Kill the Patient nA-t Was sA GnSo~oo o,. N~.soQ

s4 Was it Science or Crime9
 THE Czevela'sd (Ohio) Press,
 of February 23d, 1883, published
 an account of fatal surgical
 operation which caused a great
 commotion among medical men
 throughout the whole country,
 Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronounc-
 ing it scandalous. It appears
 that Mrs. King had been suf-
 fering for many years from some
 disease of the stomach, which had
 resisted the treatment of all the
 physicians in attendance. The
 disease commenced with slight
 Arrangement of the digestion,
 with poor appetite, followed by
 a peculiar indescribable distress
 in the stomach, a feeling that has
 been described as a faint "aI
 gone" sensation, a sticky slime
 collecting about the teeth, caus-
 ing a disagreeable taste. This
 sensation was not removed by
 food, but, on the contrary, it was
 increased. After a while the
 hands and feet became cold and sticky-a cold precipitation.
 There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was
 constant pain in the abdomen.
 All prescribed remedies failing
 to give relief, a consultation was
 held, when it was decided that
 the patient had a cancer in the
 stomach, and in order to save the patients life an operation was justifable. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the ope- ration was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, pr. Perrier, Dr. l Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, ! and Dr. Halliwen of the Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the 1 abdomen and exposing the stom- ] ach and bowels. When this had l been done an examination of the ! organs was made, but to the hor- TOT and dismay of the doctors ! there was no cancer to be found. | The patient did not have can- cer. When too late the medical l men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operatioo that ought never to have been performed. 1 If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been living to-day. SE1GEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, or SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, a remedy made expressly for Dys- pepsia or Indigestion, has re- stored many such cases to per- feet health after all other kinds [ of treatment have failed. The ! of its efficacy in curing this class of cases is too volumin- ous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of this dyspep- tic remedy do not question it's convincing nature, and the ari- cle has an extensive sale.

Proverbs Revised.

"Contentment is better than riches;'
but the two together make a much
more desirable combination.
"Look out for the pennies and the
pounds will take care of themselves, -
is a proverb which can only be accepted
with several large grains of allowance.
1t is easy enough to look out for the
pennies, but if the pounds are left to
take care of themselves they are very
apt to disappear. 49,.
"A bad beginning makes good end
ing'' is a proverb which was probably
established for the encouragement of the
inexperienced and incapable. But the
only good ending for bad beginning is
generally one which comes Immediately
after the beginning.
+. "Well begun is half done'' is a
proverb too encouraging, but half-done
matters and things in the world make
up the catalogue of the worlds failures.
"a nod is as good as a wink to a
blind horse" This proverb ismost true:
and, as far as it tends to show that the
graceless habit of winking may be ex.
changed for the more friendly nod with.
out impairing the effectiveness of the

Curious and PICTURESQUE.

"Here is piece of social news, ~
says Washington letter writer, (which
I have not seen in any of the columns
of the fashionable intelligence of recent
publication. The brother of the wife
of very well-known United States
Snnator is at present driving street
cab in Washington. His sister is a
lady of great social ambitions. She
often visits Europe, and I have seen a
number of paragraphs noting engage
ments of her numerous daughters to
to different scions of nobility. The
odd part of the story is that this very
driver of street cab is often en-
ployed by his sister in professional
capacity. This uncle of fashionable
niece has been often seen driving this
niece to a fashionable party, she
carrying in her hand a bouquet which
cost more than his weeks earnings.
This devoted uncle has been seen sit
ting on his box freezing his fingers and
toes during the season, waiting for the
outcoming of his fashionable sister and
nieces. It is an incident of Washing
ton society that is as curious as it is
picturesque. 1t should be noted by the
writer of the future Washington novel.

She Loved Mcpherson.

Regularly once a month, says a
Washington letter, the figure of a wo-
man, closely yelled, is seen in McPher-
son square, usually about twilight.
She is of good figure and quite prepos-
sessing. She will sit on one of the
park settees for few moments, while
her gaze is riveted upon the magnifi-
cent equestrian statue of the deceased
General. Twenty-six years ago Miss
Emily Hoffman, one Of the richest
bellies of Baltimore, while visiting out
West, met and fell in love with Gen. Nc
Pherson, and they became affianced.
The General was engaged in the War
and could not spare the time for the
wedding, besides the weH-known
Southern sympathies of the Hofmans
proved another cause of he.postpone-
ment of the wedding. The. dark days
of strife continued, and the General
fell in battle with the miniature of his
sweetheart pressed to his breast. The
lady never recovered from the shock
and regularly visits the statue Of her
hero. 1~- &~@~>

Average eggs weigh about eight to
the pound. Thus dozen eggs weigh
one and q half pounds. a pound Of
eggs contains more nourishment than d
pound of meat and bone. Hence eggs al
twenty four cents . dozen are as econOm.
icala food as beefsteak at sixteen cents a
pound, There is no flesh food that car
be served in SO many palatable ways as
eggs, nor so easily obtained by farmers.
They may be boiled, poached, scrambled,
fried, and made into omelets plain, OF
mixed with herbs or salted meats, and
used in a variety Of ways in cake,
Indian bread and other cookery.
Thus there are few reasons when il
will be good economy in the farmer
family to stint themselves in this easy
assimilable and nutritious food. Every
family having an ice-house or other
cold storage, should preserve when they
are scarce. They may be kept fairly
well in a cool cellar if they are put
down in autumn.
One reason why persons suppose
eggs lack nutrition is that they are in
semi-fuid state, Yet heat readily
converts them into a solid by coagula-
ton. Like milk, eggs are a perfect
food, containing all the constituents of
nourishment, and, like rare roast beef,
soft boiled eggs are digested in three
hours. Milk, like eggs, is capable of
great variety in the cooking, and milk
and cream should constitute a large
proportion of the diet in farm life,
especially in the preparation of pud-
dings, sauces, and the many dishes
which form palatable accessories to
table enjoyment. 1t is, therefore, bad
economy for the farmers family to
stint themselves in milk, cream and
eggs, on the ground that they are not
solid food.
Salt pork, ham and bacon are indeed
solid food in the sense of indigestiblity.
1t takes five hours to digest either, and
only strong stomachs can stand them.
They should be used more as relishes
than as true food on the farm in sum-
mer, as they are everywhere else. 1t
should be remembered that it is simple
the juices OF any food that serve the
purposes OF digestion.
1t is only that portion of any food
that is soluble in the fluids of digestion
that is assimilated and taken up by the
system. Fresh meat is largely water
about71 per cent, and that of eggs
about the same, or about that of blood
which contains three per cent more.
The marketable meat of the OK
contains 10 per cent bone, so that this
again would bring eggs fully up to the
standard of lean meat. The fact that
the farmer is compelled to depend so
largely upon sailed meats in summer,
and the added facts that milk, cream
and eggs are especially valuable in the
preparation of sailed meat dishes,
render careful thought on the sub
ject all the more necessary.

I. A NEW LEASE OF. LIFE.

When one has been suffering the aeonies
OF severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gla or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
If new lease Of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
: At Dubuque, Iowa, the druggists say Ath-
lophoros beats them ALL We thought it
would be like many other rheumatic medi-
clnes that have been put on the market,
sell for while then gradually sink out of
oar memory. But such is not the case
with Athlophoros, instead of our sales
diminishing they increase, and what makes
us have more faith in its future mission is
. that our customers come back and praise
its good work in the highest terms. Said
one druggistto the writer: "My confidence
is SO great in Athlophoros that often sell
bottle with the understanding that if it
is not satisfactory will refund the money.
[ have never yet had to pay the money
back" Mrs. G. J. Alabeck, 1867 Clay
Street, Dubuque, Iowa, says: 81 was SUBJ
ject to frequent attacks of infammatory
rheumatism and have been nearly all my
life, at times would be almost helpless.
When commenced with the Athlophoros
| was carrying my arm iii sling, l could
not move my fingers without causing me
pain: One evening while suffering this
way heard of Athlophoros. The next day
sent for a bottle. l was little afraid of
it at first on account of the buzzing sensa-
ton it caused in my head, but it worked
like charm, the swelling and the pain
were gone, my rheumatism was we'll. 1t
is now year and half, and have not
suffered any since.'
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills; but " here they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid) on recei pit Of
regular price, which is $l.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and sec. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion weakness, nervous debility, diseases
blood, &c, Athlophoros Pills are uneQualed. II
