TYPHus FEVER CURE.

Root Which 1t is Claimed is a Spe-
clfic.
Accounts come from Mexico, says the
Tucson Enterprise, of a wonderful re-
medy which has done more during the
laet five months toward suppressing the
typhus fever epidemic in that country
than all the physiciane OF the country.
If these accounts are confirmed pan
acea of marvellous virtue has been dis
covered, and its investigation should at
once engage the further attention of
scientists.
A general of the Mexican army was
applied to by woman of the town near
which he was encsmped for permission
to treat the fever patients in the hospi-
tai. Permission was given, and all the
men recovered. The general asked
the woman il the medicine was secret.
She answered that it was merely
a preparation of jicama, a farinaceous
root, classified by botanists as bumells.
The general himself then began to adj
minister the root, which he has done 30
successfully as to have been the means
OF curing thousands of cases OF typhus
and typhoid. A dispensary has been
opened in the City of Mexico, where
doses of jicama are given free to poor
people who ask for it. 1t is said that
1000 cases have been treated during the
past year, not one of which has termin-
ated fatally. The remedy is reported to
be equally efficacious in pneumonia.

Chicago when l arrived here ten days
ago. The wonderful development OF the
city during the past decade is simply
astonishing, and the pluck, energy and
enterprise of the Chicagoans Is to be
highly commended. The visitors from
every country in the world will no doubt
find food for profitable reflection and ex-
amples worthy of emulation in this most
typical American city, as well as in the
giant exposition.
have already spent an entire week
contemplating the wonders accumulated
in jackson park and can not find
words to express my admiration. 1t is
an urdisputed fact that the exposition
is the finest, the greatest and the most
complete that has ever been held in the
world and am sure that this genera
ton will never see anything like 1t
again. l met several prominent French
men here and they all agree that this is
the greatest thing they have ever seen;
they did not anticipate that the beauti-
full Paris exposition of 1889 could be sur
passed, but they have 10 acknowledge

The Peculiar Accident which Befell a
San Dimas Boy.

Tho Peculiar Accident which Befell a
San Dimas Boy.
.'-t..' Pomona Progress.
A 7-year-old son of Mrs. Hazard, who
lives with her brother on a ranch west
of La Verne, near San Dimas, had a
dreadful mishap on Sunday morning.
The mother and two of the older chill
dren had come to Pomona to attend
church, and left the little boy home with
his uncle. The latter left the lad alone
for an hour, and he went out to the
barn. 1t eeems that in that time the
little fellow got to playing with several
cats about the place. He drove one of
them into the house and in boyish fun
followed the animal from room to room
to tantalize the besst. With a
small whip the boy drove the
cat from under the chairs and behind
doors and tables until the animal
sought refuge in the kitchen. There
the boy drove the terrified cat into q
corner and began belaboring it with n
whip. The animal was desperate. and,
as lie usual with cats when 30 closely
pressed, made spring straight at the
lads face, at the same time scratching
with all the vigor and anger that it
could command.
The yells of fright and pain by the
boy called the uncle to the house. The
cheeks and forehead of the lad were
scratched and1torn and the left eye ball
was lacerated SO that the fluid in the
optic was oozing out. A physician was
called as soon ss possible, and it was
found that the eyesight was probably in
jured. In the afternoon the Hazard boy
was taken to a Los Angeles physician,
who is a specialist in eye troubles, and
he finds that the lad has permanently
lost all use OF his left eye.
