CALL AN EPIDEMIC,

The Medical Record of this week gives
Brown -Sequard and his mixture another
shot, putting it in this wise: The Brown
Sequard trouble has struck America and
seems to have at once attained the pro-
portions of an epidemic. The daily pa
pers are filled with reports of trials prac-
ticed all over the country and on old per
sons in all stages of decrepitude. The
result in each case, if the dispatches are
to be believed, are little short of mirac-
ulous. One of our German exchanges,
in commenting upon the rejuvenatOr, re-
marks that it furnishes additional proof
of the wisdom of retiring professors at
the age of 20. Brown-Sequard is 72 years
of age.
A dispatch from Washington says:
The reports of blood poisoning from the
use of the Brown-Sequard injection are
having marked effect in this city. Some
leading physicians here had arranged for
experiments this morning and the sheep
and patients were ready. The persons
invited to be present were assembled, but
the announcement was made that in view
of the alarming reports of the effect OF
the elixir the physicians had decided not
to make the experiments.

THE NEW ELIXIR.

ONE DOSE ENOUGH TO SATISFY ANYBODY
New YORK, August 1.-THE Brown
Sequard elixix foundry in East Twenty
sixth street has shut down for an indefi-
mite period. This is not on account of
poor business, for the stream of patients
to the Loomis laboratory was increasing
every day The trouble was that none of
the old ones came back. They are at
home nursing pains in the back and the
earache and various other disagreeable
maladies, which they think were brought
on by too much elixir. All the local eX-
perimentS of this character to date have
been conducted by DR.. Harry P. Loomis,
or under his direction, and he now an
nOunceS that he will make no further
tests.
He is through with it, he says, and will
now devote all the time he has to spare
to the theory of the distinguished French
American to cOllating the results of his
experiments and preparing them for
publication. DR.. LOomis won't antici
pate the publication of his article by eX-
pressing any opinion of the value of the
mixture at present. As none of the tests
which he conducted produced any bene-
ticial results, and as his opinion will, of
course. be based on these tests, it is not
very difficult, though, to figure out what
his opinion will be-
Now that Dr. Loomis and the other
reputable physicians have dropped the
craze the quacks will probably pitch in
and coin money by providing all appli-
cants with doses of youth restOrer" or
something else just as gOOd-or just as
bad. 1t is said one Sixth avenue quack
has already gone into the business on the
wholesale plan.

AFAMOUS FAMILY.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The attack of Terry upon Justice Field
has recalled attention to and reawakened
interest is one of the most celebrated of
American families. The first of the line
to attain prominence in this country was
Timothy Field, a Captain in the RevOlu-
tiOnary army, and man of much mark
in his time. His son. David Dudley Field
D. D., was a Congregational clergyman
of Connecticut, born in 1881, and dying
in 1867, at the ripe age of Sc. He was
famed as New England historian, and
published many local histories; but his
chief claim to renOwn and his great glory
lay in the record of his four sons.
The oldest of the four, David Dudley
Field. has long held rank as one of the
foremost lawyers of New York; Henry
Martin Field is one of the leading di-
vines of the continent; Cyrus W. Field
has an everlasting monument in the At
lantic cable, the creature of his genius
and his energy, and Stephen Johnson
Field is one of the ablest and purest of
Judges who have adorned our Supreme
| Bench.
You shall search the history of ouI
times in vain to find four brothers who
have attained to such deserved eminence
in such varied walks of life. 1t is, indeed
famous family.

WILL SUE For DAMAGES.

A dispatch from Cincinnati says: The
doctors have decided that the man Steele,
named in recent kilograms, has blood
poison. He will sue for 5000 damages.
Felden Weir, the first man experimental
on here, and whose wonderful cure was
telegraphed broadcast, is in bed again.
Great, hard Jumps appear where the in
cisions were made, and he is delirious.
Dr. LOngfellow, who made the first ex-
periments, in published statement last
night said he has lost faith in the elixir,
and that local paper paid all the ex-
penses of his experiments for the first
news.
DR.. Langinbeck, the chemist who pre-
pares nine tenths of all the elixir used
here, says it is dangerous if used after an
hour and rank poison after two hours.
This case amounts to craze. There are
reports that the wOrkhouSe physicians
have experimental dindiscriminately with
frightful results.

Omaha Republican.
The onion game is the latest fad in
rural society, and it will doubtless inter
est city people who enjoy introducing
unique features at their social entertain
ments The onion game is not intricate
nor hard to learn. Six young ladies
stand in row. The hostess gives "sil-
ver-skinned" onion to the head of the
line. Some one takes bite, and then
the young men, who have been rigidly
excluded from the drawing-room, and
imprisoned somewhere in the vicinity of
the front hall hat-rack, are called upon
to guess who bit the onion. The young
man who guesses correctly is allowed to
kiss the fair bitter of the tender Vegeta-
BILE. The game is in one respect hard
ordeal for young men who are good
guessers, but the conntry papers report its
"unQualified success"

SOME of our Democratic contemporaries
are determined that the Republican edi-
torial brethren shall all be provided with
offices, and they are especially clever in
arranging for one for the editor of this
paper. Last week, according to the
Wheeling Register, we were hankering
to be an Ohio legislator, and later, ac-
cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer, were
booked for fat place in Washington.
Outside of our regular duties, in fur
nishing to our readers the very best
newspaper possible, for the past few
months we have had much to engage
our attention in caring for sick relatives,
and consequently have had little oppor-
tuty to assist the brethren in accomplish
ing their purposes. Suffice it to say
that we we will continue business at the
old stand for the present. Subscribe

LnpORrANr CONTENTION.

The coming Republican Convention
at Martins Ferry has very important
and serious duty to perform.
There are questions facing it never
met before in the County, and the re-
suits of its deliberations will be far
reaching in their effects.
The occasion demands that Republi
cans shall throw aside all personal mat
ters, and unite upon those persons and
those considerations that will best con-
duce to Republican victory.
A party long in power is apt to find
engendered in it personal jealousies; but
it can not safely permit such considera-
tions to control its deliberations. 1t
may be that there is something of that
sort in our party, but that spirit can not
safely dominate the action of the Con-
vention. The delegates must cast every
thing of that sort aside, and act for the
common good of the party, if success is
to be hoped for at the election.
1t may be possible to form combina-
tions to control the nominations, but
such methods would result in disaster at
the polls.
The people can not be fooled, howev-
er sly candidates may be, or Convention
delegates may be. If the ticket made
does not represent the free choice
of the Republicans of the County, and
the men on it do not command the
instant respect and confidence of the
people of the County, we must look out
for breakers.
At the risk of repeating things Otter
discussed, we remind Republicans thai
in the primary elections lies the shaping
of politics. Men who care for clear
County government should take an act
i've part in them, and see that men ar,
chosen to represent the party in COnven
tion who can be depended upon to SCI
their faces like flint against all manne
of intrigue and the dominance Of per
sonal considerations, and unite in {
common purpose to make the very best
ticket possible from the material before
the Convention.

AN INCREASE IN FORESTS.

Chicago Herald.
Illinois is probably the only State in the
Union in which forests trees are increas-
ing, but here the gain is great. The vast
level plains that were once called tree
less prairies" are now dotted with beau
tiful groves in which song birds congre-
gate and rear their young Many towns
in which all the buildings were cOnspic
uous for a distance of several miles are
now completely hidden by trees. On a
great number of farms the rows of trees
that were planted to serve as protection
against the wind have extended till they
occupy several rods of ground. Small
natural groves that were protected from
prairie fires have extended on each side
till they now cover many acres. In sew
eral counties there are artificial forests of
considerable extent.
The increase of forest trees in Illinois
is due to several causes. Soft coal is
cheap, and it has generally been used as
fuel. More hedges were planted in Hi
nois that in any other of the States.
Barbed wire was invented and first
brought into use here. These two substi-
tutes for boards and rails in making
farm fences here saved an immense
amount of lumber
