Appened to be DR.. f. A. Barrett, the we'll
known St. Louis physician of 1862 Shcnan-

differed from the potash preparations in that
it was purely vegetable, and becoming inter

in a subsequent letter candidly admitted its
curative properties, and says:-
Wishing to test its virtues further, / used
it in my own family, and prescribed it Tor
patients who required a general system

almost absolute cure for constipation, bill

An Awful Death.

Frank Brown until recently the driver
OF the stage between Riverside and Red
ington, Arizona, was brought to the hos
pital suffering with screw worms in his
throat and nose. He had laid down I'M
der tree after protracted spree, and
while asleep the worms were deposited
in his nostrils and at once began the
work of destruction. They penetrated
the roof of his mouth and literally filled
his throat, causing inflammation and at
times making him savagely insane A
great many worms were taken out by
DIR. Adler, but others were far beyond
his reach and on Monday night Brown
died.

An amusing incident occurred in the
early days of Humboldt county. There
resided in one of the mining camps, a
great big hurly Moke, so black that char.
coal would make white mark upon him,
a perfect giant, and oftimes after indulg-
ing too freely in sour mash he would
take great pride in showing his strength.
On one occasion while in mood of this
kind, powerful built son of the Emerald
Isle, an entire stranger, came walking
into the little mining camp and stopped
Immediately in front of little prospect
hole, beside where the darkey was ex-
hibiting his proves seemingly looking
with contempt upon the Moke, making
some scurrilous remark, ending with, lit.
tie children in the ould country could
turn wagon over much easier than that.
In few moments hard words passed be-
tween the two. Much to the amuse-
ment of the bystanders, they feeling sat.
isfed that the stranger had picked up
the wrong customer. When presently
the Moke's anger getting the best of him
picked up the son of Erin and jam'ed him
head foremost down the incline close by,
and then commenced to scrape dirt in
upon him. with his heavy boots The
Irishman was finally extricated when he
exclaimed: "Holy jabers," think of
that, forty days in America and buried
by dirty na-ger. The Moke shortly
left the country but the son of Erin re.
manned in the county and is now one of
its wealthy citizens.
