arsenical poisoning, and claimed that because of this ignorance the Robin son poisoning cases had gone on without arousing suspicion on the part of medical men. There were, he said, at least eight cases of crimi- nal poisoning; seven occurred within five years, and in one family, and the other was that of relative.
 The cases were all treated by phys icians of large practice, prominent in the profession, and yet no suspicion of arsenical poisoning was aroused until an organization, in which the victims were insured, tried to determ- inc by investigation why so many persons died suddenly ln this family.
 In support of his statement as to the ignorance of medical men of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, the doctors remarked that certificates of death were given in five of the Rob- inson cases as follows; pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, bowel dis ease and Bright's disease.
 The startling disclosure of the stupid ignorance shown in the treat ment of those cases is quite in keep ing with the usual indiscretion mani fested by the profession in the treat ment of persons who are sufferers from the slow and subtle poison which is generated in the system from diseased state of the kidneys.
 The afflicted are treated for con sumption, apoplexy, for brain and various nervous disorders, when in most instances, it is shown, when too late, that the patient was wrongfully and ignorantly treated for sup pOStN dioCdoG NHlSh NdSi III lSliitD [. but symptom of kidney disease, and should have been timely treated as such by the use of Warmers Safe Cure, which is the only remedy known that can be successfully relied on in the treatment of such disease.
 Such exhibitions of stupidity by those who profess great intelligence in such matters is calculated to destroy confidence, and it can be said that a remedy like Warmers Safe Cure, which places the direct means of preserving health in the sufferers hands. is far more merto- rious than high-priced medical ad- vice which is so generally worthless and too often based upon an errone- ous opinion as to the true cause of illness.
 Human life is just little too precious to the average individual to be sacrificed to the bigotry or igno- rance of others.

While knocking around Thursday, we stopped at Laneburg, and found this pleasant little place greatly i'm proved. Besides the big Farmers Trade Union store. there are two others, Messrs. Lane X Hudson and Evans & East, The latter is bran new store, full of nice, fresh goods, run by clever, pleasant gentlemen-in fact all three stores are run by just the right kind of men. Mir. sam Weaver and the editor beat two of the merchants pitching quoits-but we won't tell the joke on Messrs. M . and J.
 Hon. Eugene E. White and family arrived home from Eureka Springs, Monday. The people of Prescott, and this county, among whom he was raised, esteem and honor him highly, and will be glad to know he will live here until he again enters business, at this place or elsewhere. A parti- san Republican President removed him from the office of Indian h. spector without cause, notwithstand- ing he was one of the most efficient men in the service, having proven his ability and received promotion there for. But we trust, and do not think the change will result in disadvantage to him--men of his talent and abil- ity are rarely idle long at time.
 Sunday. in company with Messrs Bait Evans, Robt. Davis and Nick ThomaSson, we attended divine ser vices at Harmony church, near Dr. Wren's, and heard fine sermon from Rev. Harvey Watson, P. E., who held quarterly conference there, for Carolina circuit. A large congrega- tion present, and we met many kind friends. who gave us cordial well come. Dined with our good friend, Rev. w. F. Evans, whose good lady placed before us the choicest viands, and we boys enjoyed the bount- ful repast, for fact. In friend Evans, Carolina has digniied, yet genial, consistent Christian gentle man and an excellent preacher, whom we have known and loved for several years.
