The Finest Mechanism.

A celebrated surgeon once said that he never
stood in the presence of a body in the dissect-
Ing room without feeling Of awe and rever-
ence, and well may every one do to remember
the wonderful exeellency Of the house be lives
in. The butterfly is beautiful and attractive
In its serial fight and its form is wonderfully
adapted to its needs; but the human body is
Is much superior in its delicacy Of construction
and adaptation TO the needs of the being living
in it as man is superior to the moth in length
of days.
When this fine piece Of mechanism gets out
Of repair, what is the best method to restore it
to effective action again? Why is it that the
majority Of people are not content to take
Natures simple plan and follow it2 Let Us see
what that plan is.
When the Iife-blood has made the circuit Of
the arteries and veins-befOre re-entering the
heart, to be started on its circuit anew-it
spreads over the surface of the air cells of the
lungs-a surface greater in area than the entire
exterior covering of the body. Here the air
inhaled by the lungs meets it, changing its
color to crimson, and imparting to it new vi
tally. Here kindly Nature has been sUer Healer
and Rspdirer- here modern science finds the
proper place TO help Nature in the most effect
i've way. Taking the fact that the usual pro-
portions Of the mixture of the elements of the
atmosphere are the proportions exactly adapted
| TO the needs Of the average man in health, and
seeing that an extra effort is needed for the
sick to repair the waste of vital force in the
blood, different proportion is made in mix
| ture of the atmospheric elements-a lesser
quantity of Nitrogen is put with larger pOr-
| ton of Oxygen. When this Compound Oxy-
gen is used, the blood enters the heart with
| increased vitality. That organ receives a por-
ton of that vitality from the blood in its pas
sage, and sends it forth with more force and
less wear to itself the blood leaves on its cir
cult new deposits of vital force in every cell of
tissue over which it passes, and returns to the
| lungs for a new supply.
| The Compound Oxygen Treatment" which
Drs. SrARKEY & PALEN, No. 1929 Arch street,
| Philadelphia have been using for the last six
teen years, is q scientific adjustment of the ele-
ments of Oxygen and Nitrogen nagnetizef, and,
condensed and made portable, it is sent all over
/ the world.
compound Orygen-its Mode Of Action and
Results" is the title of brochure of nearly two
hundred pages. published by Drs. SrARKEY &
PALEN, which gives to inquirers full informa-
| tion as 10 this remarkable curative agent and a
record Of cures in q wide range of chronic
cases-many of them after being abandoned to
die by other physicians. The volume will be

To THE EDITOR: In your issue Of recent date
you publish an account of the return of lost
flag belonging to the 22d Ohio. In behalf of
history let me state that the 22d Ohio was not
at Bull Run, consequently their flag could not

22d Ohio was not organized at that date, and
that there were but two Ohio regiments at

symptoms of Cholera in Michigan
Traced to Eating Raisins from Spain.
LANSING, MICH, March 23.-Dr. Henry
B. Baker, Secretary of the State Board Of
Health, has returned from Pinconning,
where he was summoned by the local
health officer to investigate case of sick
ness closely resembling the dreaded
Asiatic cholera. Arthur B. Smith, a
prominent lumberman of Pinconning,
Bay county, was taken sick on March 10
with vomiting and diarrh@a. followed by
cramps and collapse. He became cold
and the pulse a the wrist was not per-
ceptible. In fact. he had all the symp-
toms of cholera. Vigorous work by DR..
Abbott, who called in DR.. Newkirk, of
Bay City, for consultation, brought the
patient through and he is likely to re-
cover. A thorough disinfectiOn has been
ordered.
DIR. Baker said: 81 made vigorous
efforts to learn of any possible way in
which cholera might have been brought

OF them were from place gnOwn to be

patient had been had not been outside Of
the State, nor had Smith been out of the
vicinity. AS to fruits from the Medi-
terranean oranges had been in the house,
but the patient is not fond of oranges.
He is fond of raisins, however, and has
been in the habit of eating them from the
box. A box in the house came from
Valencia, Spain, and the raisins which
Smith had eaten were not coated with
sugar, but were apparently fresh, prob
ably of the crop of 1885, at which time

LOUISVILLE, March 24.-George G.

most influential distiller in Kentucky.
He owned a dozen big distilleries, and
his financial standing was very high.
Such was his influence that he declared,
when legislation on the bonded period
first began, that Congress could not afford
TO ignore his claims, as he paid into the
United States Treasury $4,000, 900 yearly.

WINFIELD, KAN, March 23.-Gester-
day afternoon A. B. Elliott shot and in
stantly killed DR.. w. NJ. Chastain at
Dexter, twenty miles southeast of here.
Elliott hid in a culvert under the main
road over which he knew DR.. Chastain
would soon have to pass. The weapon
used was double-baTreled shotgun
loaded with buckshOt. DR.. Chastain's
wife and children were at Atlanta, Ga.
He came to Dexter about a year ago, add
at once proceeded to make himself agree
able TO the ladies. Elliott had a hand
some daughter, and Chastain, to use his
own words, succeeded in making a mash.
The father was opposed to the marriage
OF the two, and forbade the girl to see
Chastain or to have anything to do with
him. He sent his daughter. who will be
of age in June, to a friend in Benton,
county, Arkansas. She wrote to ChSs-
tain on the way, and after her arrival at
her destination Chastain left Dexter and
went to Arkansas. On the way, it is
said, he telegraphed to his father at At
lanta, saying he would soon be home, and
would bring some one with him. In an
swer to his telegram he received one from
friend, saying his father was not ex-
pected TO live, and to come home at once.
Chastain did so, and as soon as possible
returned to Benton county, Arkansas.
In the meantime the father of the girl had
gone to Arkansas and started home with
his daughter, leaving word win the
Sheriff OF Benton county to arrest Chas-
tain when he came.
The Sheriff did not think the grounds
sufficient on which to hold him, and
Chastain came to Dexter, arriving on the
same day with Elliott and the girl. PeO-
pie who are familiar with the circum-
stances have been expecting this de-
Monument. Elliott at once fled to the
timber, and has not yet been apprehended.
Public sentiment sustains him.
