A STONE.
1t VIII Cure a Snake or Mad Dog Bite
IL Apnlled.


f.. i. SINNERS, who is well known to the
people Of Shenandoah as agent for the Allan
tic Tea Company, tells a reporter Of the
HERALD Of the value of a mad stone. Mr..
SINNERS has travelled extensively, and
through him E. J. Hauck, of Lewisburg, who
shot a white deer several years ago in Kansas,
and while dressing it discovered in the
stomach a hard substance, about the size of a
goose egg, oval in shape and having a felt or
velvety surface, the great value and the
wonderful medicinal virtues it possessed
Mr.. Hauck had kept it as a curiosity, but
since learning of its virtues has cured several
parties after being bitten by a snake.
Mr.. SINNERS says the stone is priced very
highly by the Indians, and is known as a
maidstone. Its virtue, as a healer of poison
Gus bites, is well known. There is one of the
stones in Kansas City, Mo-, and another in
Fort Worth, Texas. The latter has been ap-
piled more than one thousand times in snake
and skunk bites, the latter bite, it is said,
being very poisonous at certain times of the
year and produces hydrophobia. The stone
is porous, and on being applied to a wound
adheres until it is full of the poisonous matter.
when it drops off. On being soaked in milk
it p%urifes itself, and is ready for another APP
plication.
The philosophy of the operation, says Mr..
SINNERS, and the reason the stone is only
found in the stomach of the white deer, is
explained by the Indians. The white deer is
very susceptible to vegetable poisons taken
into the stomrch. To preserve the animals
life nature has placed this porous stone,
which at once absorbs the poison and
neutralizes it, thus saving the deer's life. He
says Mr.. Houck will be glad to relieve free
any one who suffers with a snake or mad dog
bite.

G. ID. BoGART,
Superintendent

The Tourists Drafts, of the United States
Express Co., the issuing of which was re-
Gently commenced by that company, and
noted at the time in these columns, have
jumped quickly into popularity owing to the
convenience and safety afforded travellers in
carrying money, available only for their own
use, when away from home. To still further
add to their popularity the company offers
four prizes to the purchasers of every order
of 81 90 or upwards. The first prize is 500
and will be given to the purchaser sending in
the greatest number of correct guesses as to
the vote in the electoral college of each state
in the coming Presidential election, $50 to
the second, S25 to the third and $40 to the
fourth highest. Each draft purchased en-
titles the purchaser to one vote, and as the
contest is upon a subject which is attracting
the attention of every voter, more or less, it
is quite likely an immense number of votes
will be sent in to the company's headquarters.
