ASTHMA

ASTHMA
1t is common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by. oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic. We have short
ness OF breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
Just as we do in Asthma, only that in these
1t occurs in parOxysms.
Asthma is 9 spasmodic disease Of the lungs.
Which maniests n itself IN periodic attacks q
with great difficulty Of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack Is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health vsH
given to different forms Of this disease. EN-
physemais another and more inveterate kind
peculiar variety of Asthma which occurs at a a
certain season of the year. Each of these
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
others In symptoms but practically these dis
matter to the patient which form Of Asthma
he has, since his sufferings are the same in
yellow, and we call it bronchial. In another
1t is light, and we callit dry. When he coughe
up clear water. with white froth on the sur
Nervous Asthma there is very little expecter-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
as crying cold in the head or influenza, and
before the Asthma fit comes on. In Emphysema
the expectoration Is generally thick, and con-
tinnes 20 IN the interval between the fits
the slightest exertion.
!. 1t is q foolish c6nceit OF many people to be-
Heve that If they have Asthma they cannot get
GGSpnsumption Cons The truth is the very opposite
because they have the Asthma. Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not a dangerous dis
ease, and yet the published bills Of mortality
Tor this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes
Without courage and perseverance nothing
Is Durable. But with these, aided by proper
ana skilliui treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased
Persons desiring treatment by this system Of
practice can use the remedies at home as well as
at our office, and which will cause no incon-
yenience or hindrance from businefs whatever.
Every case: OF Asthma is curable Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.

to their cases had better call at the Office for an
examination, but II impossible to visit the ONCE

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2l.-Two hundred
white and colored farmers from West
Tennessee, North Mississippi and
Eastern Arkansas met in this city to.
day and entered into an agreement to
pay no more than fifty cents per 100
pounds for cotton picking this season.
This action was due to the low price
of cotton and the extravaganza rates
paid for picking in former seasons
which cannot now be afforded. An
effort was made to get the alliance to
take up the matter so as 20 insure
unanimity of action, but that body is
too busy attending to politics to spare
time to q matter that affects the ma
terial welfare of the farmers.

VALPARAISO, Aug. 2l.-Fhe in
surgent army, to the number Of 5000
we'll armed men, made landing at
Quintero Bay, twenty miles north of
here, and fifty miles from Santiago,
where Balmaceda's army, 10000

main forces are at Coquimbo, and can
not render assistance to Valparaiso,
which is, however, well fortified.
The Baltimore is here and the Es-
meralda Is just on tside of the harbor,
where other insurgent vessels will
join her and probably act in coDjunc-
ton with the land forces in an attack
on this city. The forts mount thirty
guns and unless the garrisons prove
traitors the fleet will not be able to
silence them. A fierce battle is inn
minent and upon it depends the over
throw of one or the other party. A
defeat of Balmaceda's forces would be
followed by the capture of Valparaiso
and Santiago.

He Tells About His Work, Which

New York Mail and Express.
II am a cane artist, and not a day
passes that do not originate designs
for twenty or thirty cane heads"
said young man to a Mail and Ex-
press man. The young man was
busy designing or drawing all kinds
of cane heads. Some were fantastic
specimens, others were of classic SIM
plicity, and many had shapes that
seemed to have been born in q dis
tempered mind.
do you pI eier this kind of artistic
work to any other?"
II can't say that do. But 1 have
happy knack of drawing very orig
inaI heads, and they sell. 1 studied
art some years in Berlin, returned to
this country and tried to live by
painting portraits and doing fine bits
Of landscape occasionally. 1 got so
poor had to do something for money,
and friend suR gested walking sticks.
Indignantly refused to degrade, as
thought then, my art by designing
heads for canes. A week passed and /
grew hungry. I had no money, and
little chance of succeeding in high
art. In sheer desperation applied
for cane-head work and got an order.
1t came easy for me to design, and in
two days 1 handed in fifty original
designs. They were accepted and
not 'skyed.' Money began to roll in
upon me, and, throwing aside pride,
took as much interest in designing
cane heads as possible. 1 find that
many young artists prefer to remain
poor and not do mechanical work. L
take as much interest i'm my designs
of distinguished lady. In one year
cleared $4,000 designing cane heads
1t was splendid start, and some-
how have never got out Of the bust
ness. 1t Is not pot-boiling work
by any manner of means, for brains
are required to do original work. My
Intentions are to keep at this particu-
lar artistic work until / make
enough money to retire and do other
kinds of work. The manufacturer,
of walking canes pay well for new
and very original designs. Any de-
sign that is odd Is always acceptable .,
Symmetry is not required, nor beauty.
| An ugly looking frogs head will sell
better than the head of q Madonna.
In fact, heads are not popular. Queer
shapes and angles are more sought af-
ter. Some years ago cane handle re-
presenting bull. dogs head was ac-
ceptable, but now it would not sell /.
The craze is for the odd and the
| queer. A man with bizarre Imagi-
nation could design cane heads splen-
dldly, think. One time spent half
a dsy on design that thought the
| aesthetic dude would rave over. 1t
did not sell at all when a cane was
made after it, but all the designs,
some thirty, l hastily sketched the
other half OF tdap became popular. l
