nruys for EMERGENCIES.

The list of drugs that will raise the
body temperature IS not very extended,
but many of them have powerful actions
b this respect and general knowledge
Sf them is of value to every intelligent
berson. In sudden emergencies when
/ he temperature drops far below the
Sornal they may prove of inestimabl e
i falue. The most common thing used
or this purpose is alcohol when given
d small doses, but the effect on the
temperature is only temporary, followed
tenerally by reactive tendency which
arries the temperature the other way.
The drug that is the most powerful in
bis respect is belladonna, which will
hpidly raise the temperature of the
Sody. Similar to this the so-called
3hloride of gold, which if pushed to its
ighest effect will not only + Use the
emperature, but cause the so-called
laurie fever" The body temperature
also increased quite safely by cocaine,
hfelne, and compounds of drugs con-
Inning them. When administered in

Drtant agents containing this peculiar

through the rich pea.vine and cane lof

of Indians in their vicinity, and moved
with cautious steps. They continued to
search until darkness, and a cold rain
drove them to the shelter Of a deserted
! log cabin, thickly surrounded by cane
and matted over with grape vines. They
determined not to strike light, as tne
Indians knew the location of the cabin,
and, like themselves, might seek us
friendly shelter and dispute their rlgnS

into the loft of the cabin, the floor OF
which was clap boards resting upon round
poles. In their novel possession they
lay down silently, side by side, each man
holding his trusty rifle in his arms. They
had not been in this perilous position
long when six we'll armed Indians en-
tered the cabin, placed their guns and
other implements of war and hunting IN
a corner, struck light and began to
make the usual demonstration OF Joy on
such occasions. One of our heroes de-
termining to know the number OF the
Indians-he was the middle man OF the
three, and lying on his back-as hilarity
hnd mirth grew noisier, attempted to
kurn over and get a peep at things be.

him from turning over; in the struggle

Indians, who, with yell of terror fed
from the house, leaving their guns

to defeat Palmer for senator, and pub
fishes fac simile letter to prove its
statement. This ridiculous story has
been limited at before but there is so
little in it that it appears hardly worth
while to notice. Judge Altgeld was an
active supporter of Gen. Palmer and
did as much to bring about his election
as any man in the state. The Judge
says in reply to the attack:

any Democrat in Illinois. aside from
Gen. Palmer, to carry the state for the

the fac-simile letter shows that was

letter referred to Rufus Ramsey, one Of

Palmer. In fact he worked day and
night to elect Gen. Palmer He was
known to have the confidence of DR..

times promised to vote for Gen. Palmer
and then had wavered again. 1t was
known that Cockrell was ready to come
over and all depended on holding DIR.
Moore. Finally we learned in Chicago
that everything was all right and that
Gen. Palmer's election was assured. We
also learned, however, that Long Jones
and the Republican managers were
making desperate efforts to prevent Dr.
Moore from voting with our people. 1t
was at this time that l got letter from
Mr.. Wilhanks predicting that Gen.
Palmer could never be elected: that
there would be a breakup and that
Republicans believed they could elect
Farwell. 1t was in reply to this letter
that | wrote the letter given in The
Tribune telling Wilbanks to have Mr..
Ramsey see DR. Moore at once and ar

doctor act with our people. This was
