The Frustrating Shocks

OF malarial fever are not to be counter
acted by quinine with any degree of GER
tainty, or for any length of time. The
eradication and prevention of diseases OF
a miasmatic type are, however, ascer-

shown that there is infinitely more pre-
ventive efficacy in the fine botanic medi-
cine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, than in
the alkaloids, drugs and poisops which
were formerly the only recognized means
Of removing and anticipating attacks OF
fever and ague and bilious remittent.
When the system has been depleted by
periodically recurring paroxysms, this

TOBACCO AN ANTIsEPTlc.
Investigation Proves 1t to He Prevent

Investigation Proves 1t to He Prevent-
i've of Bacillus Growth.
1t has long been popular opinion
that tobacco is an antiseptic, and this
belief seems to have some solid basis of
fact Prof. Ninccnzo TasSinari of the
Hygienic Institute of the University of
Pisa, recently made some very interest
ing experiments on the supposed germ
icidal virtues of tobacco smoke, which
seemed to show that it really had a de-
struc:ive action upon the growth of
bacili, those minute organisms which
are said to be the cause of vast num-
Der of bodily Ills that hesh is heir to-
Prof. Nassinari observed the action of
the fumes upon seven different kinds OF
bactcria-thc So-called cholera bacillus,
the cattle distemper bacillus the pus
coccus, the F!nlller- Prior bacterium, the
typhuS and pleuro-pneumonia bacillus,
and the blue pus bacillus.
Wishing to initiate as closely as
possible the processes going on in Il
smokers mouth, the professor passed
tobacco fumes through horizontal tube
into IA receptacle kept moist by damp
cotton wool, which contained also IL
Colony Oh Dttlll. 1 ne IcSulh SuONt1t
that the smote retards the growth of
some kinds of bacilli, and absolutely
prevents the growth of others. The to-
bacco experimental with was that
which is used in making the large
Cavour cigar, much favored in Italy, and
it was proved that its fumes retard the
growth of pus bacili 10y seventy-two
hours, and of cattle distemper bacilli by
one hundred hours, while they abso-
lutely arrest the growth of the so-called
cholera and typhus bacilli If Prof
Tassinari's results may be relied upon,
it is evident that not only is to bacco not
the deadly enemy of man-and it is
singular with what eagerness man
takes to so many of his deadly enemies
but in many instances it is his great
friend not only by way of solace, but
as warder off and destroyer of deadly
germs that insist on colonizing his body
and turning it to their own uses. --All

FEUD OF BROTHERS

Aeads to Battle That Lasts All One
Night.--Three Hundred Shots Fired
No One Hurt, but House Badly
Riddled.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 21.-An all
might battle occurred Wednesday night
between Hugh Curry, a wealthy farmer
of Ainwell township, and a number of
men in ambush. Three hundred shots
were fired, but fortunately no one was
wounded. Curry's house was riddled,
and his terror stricken family
spent the night in the cellar. Towards
morning there was lull in the battle,
and Curry alarmed the village by ring
ing the bell in the tower Several
friends came to his assistance and re-
manned with him till daylight 1t has
since been learned thai Curry's assail-
ants were watchmen who were guard
ing the property of Marion Curry, whose
property adjoins that of his brother
Hugh. 1t seems that Marion
Curry has suffered from incendiary
fires, in which he has lost thousands
of dollars. The first fire was on May
IL, and since then he has lost twenty
mine hay-staclls barn and stable.
The frequent fires have almost crazed
Curry, and he has been fearful of his
life. Recently he placed guards about
