About Mad Stones.

the Editor Of the Ledger.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, May 14.-Dear
Sir: Is>e per LEDGER that the stone
applied adhered twice to the wound.
Allow me right here to dispel q mis-
taken idea concerning that matter.
Owing to the constituents Of the blood
Zone especially, the ibrous) anything
porous will adhere to 1t II its weight be
not too great. The number Of times
adhering or sticking to wound has no
material bearing az to the efficacy OF
the stone, nor has it any Significance
whatever as to the amount OF virus In
the wound or removed. I have treat
cd wounds In the mountains Of rattle
snakes, wolves, centipedes, etc., but
l never yet alone depended upon the
mad stone. To be brief will say that
poison of any character, even q bee
sting, lie of an acid reaction, and after
20 years of treating and experiment.
ing with poisons I have an infallible
remedy of an alki reaction, which II
applied In turn, never yet failed to
produce the desired results. Even
though the stone refuses to stick II 10
no assurance by any means that the
poison Ia graduated from the system,
and any person bitten should, as soon
as possible, be placed under the care
of someone who has experience In
treating such wounds or death will be
in the future, perhaps years, the sure
result. 1 have seen too many
such cases where no treatment
but the mad stone obtained and after
four years had elapsed the patient
died in terrible agony from hydro
phobia. But where the patient was
placed under the care Of q physician
of experience in such cases they mover
suffered any serious results. In con-
clusion l want to again thank You for
your kindness. lam no "quack' and
do not advertise myself, but In this
and through your great kindness much
good may result.
Very respectfully,
DR., g. r. BERG.

TIC the Editor Of the Ledger.
mexico, Mo-, May II. 189s.-DEAR
SIR: Isaw in last nights paper a piece
which you had copied from another
paper, giving the length of a knot, or
sea mile, which piece is both erro-
neous and inconsistent in itself, hence
I submit the following, which is taken
from Trautwin's Engineers Pocket
Book, and can be relied on as being
correct: A knot is the length Of one
minute of longitude o fthe earth's sur
face measured at sea level on the
equator and equals 2a2s.68. yards, or
$685. z feet. Sometimes, however,
one minute of mean latitude Is taken
as a nautical mile. a minute OF lati-
tude at the equator equals about
| 6046. feet and at the poles about
6107. feet, the mea of which Il
| 6076% feet. Another term often used
| in speaking of ships isa cables length,
| which equals 100. feet, or 12o fathoms
