He put his idea to the test, and now
claims to have cured people of small.
pox, fevers, diphtheria, spinal diseases
and many other maladies, by simply
wrapping tho patients IN milk sheets.
He lays his patients in a mattress
covered with blankets, takes a sheet
just large enough to envelope tho
body, warns it, saturates it with
about a pint and u half OF warm milk,
opens it without wringing it and
wraps his patient in it for about an
hour, subsequently sponging him over
with warm water or putting him into
a warm bath.
He declares in one bad caso OF small
pox, where the eruption was well out,
the milk sheet drew the poison SO en-
tirely from the skin TINT the next day
the eruption disappeared and the man

=Wtsn Ni.r.r.n.n Dry.

Congressman Lockwood, Of Buff
falo, says that within his recollection
the great waterfall at Niagara was
suspended, and that many people
walked over its rocky places dryshod.
The New York Evangelist in an inter.
esting occount of this miracle, says It
WAS wrought in l8is, during the
month OF March. To be exact, it was
on the morning OF March %, 1s48,
and Tor several hours the wonderful
torrent did cease to flow and the river
ran dry. Tho preceding winter had
been severe one, and the ice which
had formed in Lake Erie was of phe,
nomenal thickness. There came on
March 9th q sudden and exceeding.
ly warm spell Of weather, which
melted the SHOWS, and then a warm
rain poured down in torrents during
the entire day of the 18th Of March.
The ice was loosened, and a strong
east wind drove it far out in the lake
during the night. But at sunrise on
the 10Th the wind came from the west
and, as the sailors say, it was -blow-
ing great guns Thu terrific gale
drove the immenss mass of ice into
the mouth OF the Niagara river, where
it was gorged and piled up from shore
to shore, Theoretically sealing the nd
YER and damming the waters back
into the lake. Thus it happened that
Niagara river ran dry, it's falls became
bleak. barren rocks, and it's mighty
thunders we're put to sleep, Within
four OF five hours tiny streams Of
water began to trickle through the
gorge. The tremendous power back
Of those streams accelerated their
flowing, and in n short time the ice
dam gave way, and there never was
such a wild, roaring, mad flood in
Niagara before or since, and thus the
cataract became itself again.
