not approve of Mr.. RowE- Ids purchase at

that it always gives relief. He says that

Making Parchment Paper.

The operation of manufacturing parcb-
ment papers such as are used for wrap
ping butter and other similar objects
is very interesting one. Parchment is
produced directly from the raw paper
web in practically one operation. The
sheet to be parchmentized is passed
through sulphuric acid and then through
rollers having a uniform action, which
discharge the surplus acid, the expressed
liquid being returned to the tank or
vessel. The paper is then carried and
passed through washing apparatus as
q tank, and also through sprays of
water, being led and guided by rolls
over which it passes, SO that the free
acid is washed off or removed as far as
possible by mechanical washing. The
sheet next passes through bath Of soda
solution or alkali and then through
nippers to express surplus alkali, which
is returned to the bath. Then the paper
is carried through an apparatus to be
further washed with water. Next it IL
passed through bath Of bleaching ma.
terial, as "bleach'' or the like, then
through further washing apparatus,
again passed between presses and
squeezed, and then finally IL is passed
through q bath Of glycerin, after the
passage through which the paper II
wound upon q roller or coiled up in .
completed state of parchmentization. :

Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of a popular remedy been found
so clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora f.. Hill.
While her condition, caused by frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story of the ac-
cident and the sufferings resulting from it,
will be of more than ordinary interest to
thousands Of invalids.
Mrs. Nora f. Hill, before September 1898,
was hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
"September 1, 1898, while attending to
my duties about the house, a gasoline stove
which had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me. Before my clothes which were on fire
could be torn off, my right arm and hand
were fearfully burned. This however, was
not my most serious injury, as had inhaled
some Of the flames, and | found the inside of
my mouth blistered. My hand and arm TO
the elbow were burned to the bone, and my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering, | was
spared the operation, and l have fairly good
use of my hand and arm now.
"Shortly after the process of healing of
arm and hand, my stomach commenced to
give me trouble. | did not then realize what
with cramping sensation, and then in q
few days there were frightful pains, which
threw me into cammy perspiration. For
eight months / was under the care of my
physician, battling hard with death. l had
lost SO pounds, was becoming a mere skele-
ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous
system completely shattered.
81 lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined to 60 to
my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and have my old physician make an exami-
nation Of my condition. He did so and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had
formed, which he said were incurable, and
were liable to produce cancer at any time.
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
had formed in the stomach broke, which
produced vomiting of large quantities OF
blood and pus. This confined me to sick
bed for several weeks. When / became
sufficiently strong to get up l came back
last one week, possibly one month. But
determined to make as strong a fight as
could, and get all the medical aid there was
in Chicago.
"I was taken before class of one of the
most noted and celebrated medical colleges
here for examination. This examination
proved what my physician in Grand Rapids
told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers ol
the stomach. The opinion of the. college
physicians was that my chances of q cure
were not one in one thousand. This was in
May 1894; in June / was taken down with
gastric fever, caused by fresh ulcers forming
and 1 lay in bed nine weeks. From June tc
September in that year also suffered adj
ditionally from thirty assesses forming on
my arms and shoulders, produced by the con-
dition of the stomach and blood circulation.
After this / got little better, and this inn
provement lasted during the fall and winter
till January 1895, when had another siege
of gastric fever. took great many drugs
ind opiates under the physicians directions
