Physicians Everywhere Are Now Curing
This Heretofore Fatal Disease and
the Medical World is Convinced.
Enthusiastic reports from once hopeless
consumptives all over the land maEe II Ger
tain the cure discovered by Cincinnati sci
enlist is all that was claimed for II year or
so ago, when the New York Recorder awarded
him the diploma and 81 900 prize 1t had Of

the ravages Of consumption.
Even tho most conservative medical jour
nails now admit the marvellous results r0-
ported by the thirty thousand physicians pre-
scribing Amick's medicines are not eXagRe-
rated.
The DoCroR OF HYGIENE, OF which DR.. Cy-
rus Edison, chief Of the New York state board
of health, Is the editor, says in ito last issue:
"We have delayed for something over year
giving notice TO the Amick treatment for
consumption because as the formula was not
given TO the profession, time alone would
demonstrate whether 1t merited condemna-
ton or endorsement. With tho evidence
which month after month has accumulated
We are obliged to admit the .preponderance
OF testimony favors DIR. Amick's claims, and
in the face of results reported from physi-
CLANS who, II anything, were rather disposed
against the treatment ut the beginning, the
claims of the Cincinnati physician are shown
| to have been in the bounds of truth and con-
servatism He has from the first shown an
evidently sincere desire to have crucial and
| impartial tests made of the treatment by all
physicians, and to this end he still distrib-
utes broadcast FREQ test packages of his mod
cnes, each Of which must represent quito a
little money. All conscientious physicians
admit themselves powerless to cope with this
destroyer OF life except with tho Amick treat
ment and therefore feel bound TO give y 70
patients under their care, and the fact that
any person with lung trouble can obtain
sufficient of the medicines to show just what
they will do for each sufferer without cost
proves conclusiVely that DR.. Amick knows
the result will be favorable"

An lmpromptu Dance.

1t has no doubt often occurred to
you while walking on the street that
you have met a pedestrian going In
the opposite direction and, In the at
tempt to pass you, bob from one side
to the other, both being imbued with
the same idea. The result is dodg-
ing two or three times from one side
to the other before either gets by.
The other day a reporter met with
that experience, and gay young col
ored girl was the pedestrian coming
In the opposite direction. After two
or three maneuvers the colOred wom-
an exclaimed:

Prof. Palmierl writes: "Vesuvlus,
the activity Of which was rather In
creased last full moon and then de-
creased during the last few days, has
again commenced to show signs that
we may expect new eruptiOns and
flows Of lava. From the principal
crater much smoke issues, and de-
donations are heard and redhot stones
are thrown out. The eruptive cone
In the Atrlo del CavallO emits smoke
from its summit with a certain force,
while from Its base the lava flows
more rapidly. A smaller cone In the

beside it. They carried flowers for the
tomb, and stood with uncovered heads
in the doorway of the little chamber
where the great man died. Another
favorite excursion on the I'D is to visit
the old academy at fredericksburg,
where George was student, and used
to row himself across the river every
morning. Afterward Madison and
Monroe attended the same school.
One year large company visited the
old site of the tavern, the Indian
Queen, where the famous Yorktown
ball was held. We remember how the

ing We celebrate the 22d according
to the Gregorian calendar, which the
British Government ordered to be
adopted twenty years later.
The old home OF Washington's moth
or in late years, near Fredericksburg,
Va, has been the scene Of many inter-
esting celebrations on Feb. %, and, al
though but few bricks and bits OF
stone remain to mark the spot, the
boys and girls Of the region to-day
make it point to visit the place on
Washington's birthday. With history
fresh in their minds, they climb the
beautiful Stafford hills, pick delicious
figs from the old fig trees and take
q good run over the fields and through
the forests where the boy George
played with his young schoolmates.
One must live at the capital to real
ize the honor paid to the tomb and the
home of Washington. The White
House, the Capitol, Mount Vernon and
neighboring cities observe the 22d with
reverence and respect. Mount Vernon
has always been the scene of many pa

1859 it became his home, and again
in 1888, after his resignation. In
1865 he was vestryman of two parishes
-Pohick, seven miles from Mount
Vernon, and Christ Church, in Alex
andria. In the latter he owned pew
until his death. People who live near
the old Pohick Church observe Febru-
ary % sacredly. Nothing of the old
church remains, although George
Washington himself drew plans for
its rebuilding in China ink in l773."
But in lonely, simple way the poor
folk within fifty miles Of the place all
gather on the spot and celebrate the
day. EARLY on the morning of the I'D
parties go down from Washington to
the old Christ Church. They take
turns to sit in the quaint, high backed
pew, old and square, where, in 176O,
and later, sat the man Of dignifed bear

knee breeches and stockings, with his
earnest face turned to the high pulpit
In later years General Robert e. Lee
occupied q pew across the aisle. A
sermon is preached from the carved
pulpit while crowds Of strangers stand
around the open door.

To "Princess Bonnie" and its composer,
Willard Spenser, belong the honor of
having broken theatrical record in Phil
adelpha. On Friday night, the seventy
fifth performance was given at the Chest
nut Street Theatre, which marks the long
est run of consecutive performances ever
given in that city. the Little Tycoon"
having enjoyed but seventy-two. And
from present indications the opera will
continue to run all summer 1t is said
the scene at the theatre on Friday night
has never been equalled in the theatrical
history of Philadelphia. There was not
a vacant seat in the house from pit to
dome. All the available standing room
was occupied, and even the aisles were
crowded. The boxes were filled with we'll
known patrons of the theatre, and the
gallery gods were very much in evidence.
From the time the curtain arose on the
first act until the conclusion of the opera
the performers were accorded one grand
ovation. In the first act, after Miss Mayo
had sung dreaming of Love-" in her
own inimitable style, she gave as an en-
core that old favorite from the Little Ty-
coon, Love Comes Like Summer Sigh, +"
which she was forced TO repeat The pop
ularitv of 1.-THE Princess Bonnie" is all
the more surprising considering what it
has had to contend with. 1t was refused
by no less than three prominent mana
gers before Mr.. Spencer, nothing daunted,
determined to produce the opera himself,
giving it his personal supervision. AL
though the season was well advanced,
and even at its height will go down to
history as one of the most disastrous on
record, Mr.. Spencer's confidence in his
ability to judge the popular taste has car
ried him through with flying colors.
Probably no attraction during the entire
season has made as much money in tn e
same length of time.
