ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Reward Paid by Newspaper for an
Important Discovery.

NEW YORK, April 20. $685. 3.--Immediately
following the death of jay Gould Of consump-
ton last December, and that OF q number Of
other prominent citizens, the Recordsr offered
one thousand dollars for the discovery Of q
treatment which would cure or best stay the
progress OF consumption. Physlcans all over
the world were interviewed by correspond
ents, and invited TO compete at the request Of
the Recorder. Among them were the leading
specialists OF this country, and such eminent
foreigners AS DR.. Koch and Prof. Virchow.
The consensus OF opinion, gathered by wire
and cable, was that the action OF the Recorder
WAS wise one, and one that would in all
probability place before the public the most
advanced discoveries in the treatment Of lung
diseases.
Physicians were appointed to conduct the
investigation. and 4 series OF systematic tests
were made with patients who volunteered in
response to Invitations that were published,
The result of these tests was remarkable.
X. Amck, one of the leading physicians Of
Cincinnati. Ohio, proved so efflcaclous that
the Rsrorder, acting on the advice Of Its
physielans, has declared tho contest closed,
and has awarded the sum OF one thousand
dollars to DR.. Amick. check for that
amount was handed to a representative Of DR..
Amick on Saturday, the doctor himself being
too busy to come on.
In closing Its consumption inquiry, the
Reeorder believes that it has brought 10 light
majority OF cases, that which koch's remedy
allied To do-that It will in fact arrest the
progress ot consumption and other lung
troubles Its author does not Claim that It
will produce new lung In a man who has
lost one OF those important organs, or that II
VIII cure every patient In the last stages OF
consumption, SO that he will regain the yigor
Of youth. His claim Is Eva 1t arrests the de-
atruction Of lung ti.sue, and stops the pro-
sress OF disease, etfectink cures In the earlier
stuges, and prolonging In, even in the most
hopeless cases These claims are fully borne
out by the test, made under the immediate
direction Of the Recorder. In addition, Its
reporters have brought in interviews with
nearly one hundred physicians, and reports
have been received by mall from over one
thousand others, whose experience In tho use
of the treatment In their own practice con-
firms tho decision Of the RteorGer. Dr.Amlck
stlll expresses his willingness 10 supply phys.
icians mud through them ull sufferers from
ling troubles with sufficient medicines to test
the effects OF the treatment without cost
Applications for free test medicines should
be addressed TO DR.. Amick personally, at l68

Two leading New York papers claim TO

As the train with the bell entered the depot

served to keep the public from the tracks,

When the train pulled to standstnl, Alder

old bell. These were given with a will and
the alderman called for three cheers for
Philadelphia. A hearty response was made
Then Alderman Patton Of PhllAdelphia

tried to pry the monster's jaws opon,
but they couldn't make It lot GO
and finally they had to cut It's head
off and pry Its mouth open with iron
spikes.
THE first thing Mr.. Vale did, oven
before no got his fingers loose. was
to send one of his men on fresh
horse to Pantano. the nearest railroad
town. thirty miles away, TO telegraph
to Tucson for physician to come on
n special engine to Pantano. whore
ho himself would meet him. Then
he bound his wrist and his finger
with leather thongs. and with his
penknife cut the flesh around the
bite. BY that time fresh horse had
been saddled for him. and he leaped
upon Its back and darted of on that
terrible thirty ride for his life.
He rode the whole distance at
break-neck gallop, suffering much NIL
the time from the tightly tied thongs.
"He had not gone more than half
the distance when the poison began
to make itself felt. Darting pains
shot all through his body. he felt
sore and weary and the pains in his
back became excruciating. But he
finally reached Pantano. and the doc
tor was only few minutes later.
His first question was. have you
taken any whiskyT and when Vale
said he had not, the doctor assured
him that he would pull him through.
For all the physicians and the best
informed people Ia that region be-
lieve that whiskcy or any alcoholic
drink aggravates the Gila monsters
poison. Vale soon became delirious.
but the doctor pulled him through
and it wasn't long until he began to
recover. saw him three months
ufterward and he was not entirely
well even thcn. But l believe he is
as sound as ever now.
There are not nearly SO many Gila-
monsters down in that region as peo-
pie generally think. In all the years
l have spent there ! have seen only
one In the wild state, although have
seen dozens of them in captivity.
They are mostly encountered in tho
desert down toward Yuma and along
the Gila river My observation Of
the ella monster has convinced me
that II it is angry whom 1t bites its
bite is going to do some damage. II
1t is very old, or worry angry, or both,
it will probably kill its victim or in
jure him pretty badly. When 1t 10
young its venom seems to be less
poisonous than when the reptile IL
older. And also think that it loses
some of its virulence II the animal Is
kept long in captivity"
