Soothing Syrup we can speak from knowl-

unbroken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an arti-

TEE ENIGMA.
what the Scientific worlds wants to Know
"A 800, 600 ofer.


We have published 10 our columns from
time to time different advertisements in re-
gard to Bright's Disease and its cures.
What is this terrible disease?
We have taken the trouble to make an in
vestigation from the best sources and we give
the results to our readers.
What astonishes US is the general indiffer-
ence gwen to kidney disorders. The kidneys
do not sound the alarm of their diseased con-
didon owing to the fact that they have very
few nerves, hence few suspect that there is any
disease in them. Irritation, Inflammation, ul-
ceration set in, and then the little tubes, Of
which the kidneys are full, are destroyed and
thrown of, and from this fact are called tube
casts.
As soon as this begins to take pace it is on
ly a question of how fast decomposition goes
on before the disease results fatally. If the
proper remedies are taken before fnaldecom-
post or or waste ofthese tubes commences or
become TOO far advanced, that is the onlv and
last chance for relief. 1t is at this point or be-
fore that Warmers safe cure proves so beue-
fetal, and may cure or stop the wasting away
of the kidneys if it has not advanced too far.
The most remarkable thing of all our in
vestigation is the fact that the patient with
Bight's Disease has no exclusive symptoms,
but has the symptoms of every common. dis
ease.
First he may possibly feel dull pain in his
back, generally upon one side, which does not
debar him from his usual business routine.
After time he may begin to feel neuralgia
pains, or have slight attack Of what he may
cali rheumatism, or headache, with high CT
dark colored urine, with an unpleasant sensa-
ton IN its passage, and after sanding show
ing an unnatural condition. Later on, come
tired feelings, loss of ambition or vigor, or loss
Of or failing eyesight, which is very common,
with dist ess d condition of the stomach.
ANY one Of these symrtons is liable occur.
This no doubt explains why the proprietors
of Warmers ssfe cure are curing so many dis
eases. By regulating and building up the kid
neys, symptoms ofgeneral ill-health disappear.
They justly accuse the medical profession Of
treating the effects and not the cause. Final
ly if this disorder is neglected the patient
either dies of apoplexy, pneumonia, heart dis
ease, bl cd poison, consumption, or any other
disease that the system is most subject to.
| There appears to be some one cause for
/ nearly every other ailment of the man sys-
TEN, but up to the present time no one has
been abe to fully account for this terrible
malady. We understand that the people of
Germany have become aware of its fearful IA.

COUNTY COURT.

County court met Tuesday pur-

done this term.

ASSIGNMENT. - Considerable sur

that Mr.. Abe. Meyer, a well known
merchant in the city, had made an
assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. 1t was not the ordinary
assignment by which all the proper

distribute pro rata among such
creditors as should accept it and
discharge the assignor from further
liability. The property is conveyed
to Mr.. J. Leviw, one of the creditors
in trust, to pay off certain preferred
claims, and in case any surplus re
mains, to distribute it pro rata
among non-preferred creditors. The

A CURIosITY.-Mr. p. L. LaPeyre,
who has been in the city for some
time experimenting the work on the
artesian well at the water works, has
in his. possession silver medal
which possesses a unique interest,
both on account of its age and char
acter. Mr.. LaPeyre bought it from
a tramp in Galveston for $3.50. He
has been offered large sums for it,
but refuses to pant with it. On one
side is engraved the ship, in which
Christ and certain of his apostles
crossed the sea of Galiilee, when he
stilled the storm, with Latin inscrip-
ton, sin tempestate, securitas;;" ''safe-
ty in the storm" Christ, who is lying
asleep, is being awakened by one OF
the apostles, On the reverse side is
an engraving of st. George, Staying
the dragon. The work is finely exc
cuted, and shows up distinctly. Mr..
LaPeyre sent it to the pope through
the Catholic bishop at Galveston.
The pope identified it as an antique
specimen, and placed its age at
about $50 years.

CUTTING ScRApE,-Thursday after.
noon about 1890 o'clock, two ne
groes, Bill Norris and Noah Butler,
got into row, which resulted in
Norris having his throat cut by But
Ter. Both negroes are well known
in town. Norris enjoys no very
savory reputation. He is an ex-con-
vict, having been sent up for killing
man. He was drunk yesterday,
and Butler claims that Norris was
making at him with a knife, and that
he acted solely in self defence. The
cut is very ugly o2e, but is not
thought to be fatal by the physician.
It missed the windpipe, however,
only a little. Butler was arrested
He made no effort to resist the Off
Ger. Nothing is known as to the
origin of the row. The cutting took
place near the central railroad, on
North street.
