THE AMIcK DISCOVERY,

On arother page of this issue is sn
exhaustive article on the treatment
and cure of consumption. The subject
has lately been brought to the attcn'
ton of the press of the entire country
as result or he action of the Michi-
gan Board ,. Health in declaring
consumption 7 contagious disease, and
recommending isolation of affected
persons to special hospitals erected for
the purpose. Should other state
boards of health follow the example OF
the Michigan body, it seems impoSSi-
BILE to measure what the consequences
would be. The New York Recorder
actuated by that spirit which should
pervade every editorial sanctum. offer
ed a reward of $1,000 to any physician
effecting a cure for consumption. The
offer was promptly accepted by DR.. W.
r. Amick of Cincinnati who hadalreadr
distinguished himself by curing some
patients selected by the Cincinnati
Post, newspaper The management Of
the Recorder selected ten patients ia
various stages Of consumption. The
article referred to tells the story OF
DR.. AmiclI's success and of the pay
ment of the $1,000 by the Recorder
company. DR.. Amick shows notonlY
his willingness but his great desire 30
have his treatment inpartially tested
before any money for the medicines
has been expended by the affected.
lie offers to send to all
local physicians, regardless OF
school or code or creed, test PACKAGE
of his medicines sufficient to show just
what results will be produced in eacR
case. The fact that these outfits are
only sent to the patient through his or
her physician is guarantee that they
will stand the test to which they may
be subjected by medical experts. Dr..
Amick is willing to let each physician
and each patient Judge as TO whether
he has accomplished what he claims.
There is already the testimony Of ply
sicians and patients who have found
reasons for endorsing the discovery.
In the face of such evidence of its
worth there can be but little hesitancy
in pronouncing the discovery great
boon to suffering mankind. and Iarrs'
fore of incalulablc benefit to the whole
human race.

A Comfortable Hen House.

Correspondence National Stocllman:
About two years ago | conceived the
idea of producing eggs during the
winter when the supply is limited and
the price is high. Observing that
when the hens had cold or frozen feed
they did not lay, decided to arrange a
hen house in which the hens would be
comfortable on the roost, nest or floor.
| built house similar to some de-
scribed in the Stocliman. with this
exception: | filled up inside with
earth. about foot, built n furnace in
one end and n chimney in the other,
connecting these by two rows of four
inch tile, four inches below the sur
face of this carthen floor. tile being
about equally distant from the walls
and each other. These conducted the
smoke to the chimney and warmed the
ground, so that the hens were perfectly
comfortable anywhere in the house.
No need of a dust box, as the ground
floor is always dusty.

MARKED BY THE DEVILS HOOP.
The Strange Story Told by an Old
Negro In Missouri.


Henry Rice, an aged negro who re-
sides, or did, not more than 4 year
ago. at Rolla. this state. says the St
Louis Republic. makes what is proba-
bly, the most remarkable claim that
ever came from the mouth of 4 human
being-viz.: That he had sold MS soul
to the devil and that his Satanic
majesty sealed the bargain by putting
his trade mark on the negrO's breast
In support of this preposterous state
ment Rice exhibits a deep scar stu
ated directly over the heart, which
appears TO have been burned deep into
the flesh with a branding non about
the shape and size of the hoof Of a
two-year-old heifer. This scar, the
old negro declares. is the print cr mark
of the devils hoof. and that it is a
memorial of compact which he made
with the king of the sulphurous re-
gions away back in slavery days.
According to the terms of the contract
the negro is to have supernatural
powers over his race during the few
feeting days that he remains a tenant
on earth, and that when all is over hi,
soul is to go-not to God, who gave it
but to the devil, who has marked it a
his own. When Rice and the devi
had settled on the conditions outlined
above, the lessee Of the negro's sou
placed his cloven hoof over the hear
of the wicked old African and left it
indelible impress as evidence of hi
future proprietary right to burn tn,
| old man to his hearts content.
