''To the Trades Unions of the United

not alone to us, but one which threat
ems, if successful, to undermine every

in fight to the death, not only with a
many-time millionaire by the

also with those blood-thirsty thugs
and hirelings, namely, the Pinkertons,
who have invaded our peaceful homes
and laid low number of our true

of their wives and orphans of their

provided for. We have also a number
of unskilled laborers, who barely earn
ed an existence while they had employ

are in want. Therefore, we appeal to
our fellow-unionists in this hour OF
need for assistance, knowing full
well that it will not be denied us.
Help us, therefore, to gain a victory
that will rebound to the name of or

AMPUTATED, LIMBS.

Extract from a Lecture by DIR. j. II. Kel-
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
The philos ophy of the peculiar phe-
nomenon by which person who has
lost limb is conscious of its presence
as still part of himself, and which
causes him to complain of pain in it or
even to attempt to use it, is not gen.
orally unders TODD by people and yet it
is simple enough. A man whose arm
was cut off a day or two ago says, 81
can feel my arm the same as if it had
not been cut off and | wouldn't know
it was gone without looking at the
stump" The brain is conscious of the
various parts of the arm and hand
simply because it sends down nerves
into those parts, and after amputation
they report as before. In case of an
amputa tion, all the nerves of the arm,
even to the ends of the fingers, are in
the stump, and when a nerve which
goes 20 u finger is irritatcd in the stump,
it says finger" to the brain, because it
cannot say anything else, and other
nerves will say Just what they have been
accustomed to saying while the arm was
entire. Suppose you put your thumb just
back of the little prominence of the
elbow, and press down upon it--you
will feel numb sensation clear to the
end of your finger. You have not
touched the finger nnd yet the nerve re-
ports to the brain that something is the
matter with it, Sometimes the muscles
which close the hand are irritated and
the individual imagines that his hand
is shutting up. Instances have been
frequently known where patients have
insisted that the and or leg which had
been taken off should be unburied and
its position changed. The nerves con.
tinue to report the sensations which
they last experienced However, this
state of things does not last very long.
The nerves which went to the parts re-
moved are gradually absorbed, and
while this is taking place the sensations
which they produce as gradually
shorten. While tine loss of an arm is
fresh, the individual is still conscious OF
the tips of his fingers; but by and by
the sensations only extend to the palm
of his hand and so keep on shortening,
until he finally feels the stump just as
| it is, and this occurs usually in the
course of six months Reported by
Helen L. Manning,
