NEWiYoRK, July D.--A Herald dis:
patch from Chicago says:
The fight OF the sound money Dcmo-
Gratis Is n OF principles 80 much more
than OF mon that the question OF tandl-
dates has received practically no at,cn-
tlon as yet. In tho informal discussion
of tho subject Of the standard bearers
that have taken place In the meetings OF
the sound money committees the names
OF General John NJ. Palmer, OF SPRING
field, the senior senator from Illinois;
John G. Carlisle, secretary OF the treas
ury, Henry WattCrsOn, OF Louisville.
and General Bragg, OF Wisconsin, have
been mentioned. None Of them. how
ever, has been given serious considcra.
ton.
The suggestion OF Senator Pnlmcr's
name came from Comptroller Eckels
and Is acceptable to the party, 80 far as
the question Of candidates has been
considered. Mr.. Palmer Is "thc grand
old man" OF Illinois. Since lSiN, he has
been serving the state or his country In
some capacity. and he has always been
the same nggrGsSlvely courageous man.
Long before he sat In the constitutional
convention OF 1877 he n n judge on the
bench, and for forty years he ndmlnlS-
tered the law In that capacity. From
1852 to 1856 he wus state senator.
There seems TO be no question what
ever that should Senator Palmer nc
ccpt n nomination ut the hands OF the
sound money Democrats he would have
the undivided support OF Illinois and be
able TO control n strong following In tho
west and south,
Several Democratic sound money
leaders who have been seen to-day on
the question OF Senator PRlmcr's an
dIdaCy. and his availability were practl-
cnlly unanimous In pronuuncinS him an
ideal candidate and declaring tina, he
would undoubtedly be acceptable 10 the
rank and file OF the party.
John II. Walsh. president OF the Chi
cago National Bank. and proprietor OF
the Chicago Chronicle. said to-day:
while the question OF candidates has
received no serious attention from the
sound money Democrats. l consider that
MIR. Palmer would be an ideal candidate.
His stand on the money question has
been urwaverlng In the support OF n
sound currency and his Democracy Is
unQuestloncd."
Henry S. Robbins, chairman OF the
Democratic committee, said: II don't
know what the chances arc Of Mr.. Pal
Nor coming before the sound money

but II he should he will undoubtedly
have the support Of Illinois. How he

this time TO raise the question OF candl-

Senator Palmer's strong stand on the
money question has made him a host OF
admirers. while his personal character

an excellent candidate. While | regard

Loo ANGELES, Cal, Aug 10, 1896
l have little girl, Clara, now past II
years of age. About the first of March,
1893, while playing, she fell and bruised
her shin bone of the right leg, between
the knee and ankle. The injury did not
amount to much at first, and for a long
time we thought nothing of it. But after
some weeks it began to trouble her. l
consulted our family physician. He said
the injury amounted to nothing and
would go away itself. He advised me
to rub little linment or arnica upon
the bruise, which he said would be all
that was necessary. Some months later
as the bruise or wound still continued
to trouble my little daughter, we con-
suited another physician about it. AS
soon as he saw 1t he declared the in
jury was very serious, and asked why
we had let 1t go so long without medical
advice, and declared that Clara would
be crippled for life, as the limb would
have to be amputated. He wanted to
perform an operation at once, but we
were so much alarmed and frightened
that we would not consent to this. We
next consulted another doctor, who
stated that the injury was more serious
than we had at first supposed, but that
it could easily be cured in short time.
He treated it with liniments and lotions,
but these remedies failed to produce the
ueSlTed clIecl, anu luc uOGtOl uCClQSd
that it would be necessary to open the
wound and scrape the bone. An opera
tion of this kind was performed and gave
temporary relief, which lasted three
months.
At the end of that time the wound
again became painful, with swelling
and other indications of q serious diff
Guilty. The doctor now decided that the
wound went deeper than he had at first
supposed, and that portion of the bone
must be removed. So a more radical
operation was performed. This operation
was performed at the doctors sanitar-
ium. AS remember, there were present
eight of the best surgeons in the city.
They all agreed in their opinion of the
case, They said 1t was a cancer of the
bone, which could not be healed.
They recommended immediate ampu-
tat!on of the leg. as the only means of
saving my daughters life.
They thought it would be dangerous
to delay this. This opinion was also
rendered by other physicians at different
times But the doctor, however, was un-
willing to consent to amputation as he
still had hopes of saving the leg. So a
section of the bone about two inches in
length was cut away nearly to the mar
row and removed. After this operation
my daughter was confined to her room
for some months and was not permitted
to use her leg at all. But there was no
permanent Improvement, and the doc

Dear Doctor-It is with pleasure that

time ago. where l was for many years
under the care of several different ply
sicians, who finally pronounced my all
| ment incurable and advised change of
climate / at once came to Los Angeles,
Cal. 1 was rapidly growing worse, and,
realizing my condition, knew must get
help very soon or it would be altogether
too late. Having lost all confidence in
doctors T had about given up all hopes
of ever getting well. Through friends
l was advised to consult Dr. Foo, and
was cited to some wonderful cures he
had performed. After dscarding a
deep-seated prejudice l consented and
went to his Office for examination, after
which was thoroughly convinced that
I had at last found physician that un-
derstood my case-as does he all others
His diagnosis was so perfect that l

any of the SYMPTOMS of my former dis
ease l cannot speak in too high terms
of the doctor and shall be pleased to
answer any communication you shall
see fit to send me in hopes that many
subjects of suffering humanity may be
so fortunate as to fall into the healing
hands of DR.. Foo, and be so blessed.

tor decided that it would be necessary
to scrape the bone the third time. This
was now about the LIST of August last,
nearly two and one-half years after the
first apparently trifiing injury had been
received.
Clara grew worse after this third
operation and the doctor now declared
that as the wound had not healed II
never would heal; that there were symp.
toms of blood poisoning and that in his
opinion the limb must now be cut Off or
my daughter would die. He said she
could not live forty eight hours unless
this was done. About ten or eleven days
after the third operation he came to the
house with carriage prepared to take
Clara to his sanitarium for the purpose
of performing the amputation. We OBJ
jected to this, but he stated that in such
cases it was the duty of the physician to
overrule the wishes Of the parents who
were incapable of forming an unbiased
judgment, as he believed under the cir
cumstances. The doctor had been very
kind to us and had done everything In
his power for our daughter. 1t was hard
under the circumstances to go contrary
to his Judgment but l was still unWill-
ing, and so informed the doctor.
Just about this time we began to hear
about DR.. T. Foo Yuen through Mrs:
Van Luven. Acting on the advice of
friends 1 took Clara to the doctors
office. I was informed by him that the
childS system was poisoned as result
of the injury, the long delay and the diff
ferent operations. and that there was no
cancer of the bone and no need of an
amputation. He said the leg could be
saved and my daughter cured, although
he predicted that it would take long
time, perhaps year. l at once COM
menced preparing and administering
the herb teas which procured from him.
l also applied poultices and plasters
xxhi ioh hA FIR icb bn1 n
use these for about six months. There
was decided improvement in about
five weeks, and in about six months we
stopped using the remedies as they were
no longer needed.
When we first took Clara to the doc
tors Office she was so i'll and weak that
my son had to carry her in his arms. A
little later we took her in an ordinary
baby carriage. In about six weeks she
was able to walk from the street car to
the doctors Office, distance of several
hundred feet. In about three months
she walked about the house and streets
the same as she had done before the In
jury. She now can walk several miles
a day and run and jump the same as
other children. There is no limp or other
deformity The injured leg has been
completely restored, new bone and mar
row having grown and filled up the
cavity. She has gained fourteen pounds
since using these herbal remedies and is
now perfectly well, attends school and
is as active as any child of her age.
