LUNGS WELL NOW.
Surgeon in Mary Cured Himself By
Outdoor Life an T7eo Years.

Without the use of medicine and by leading
an outdoor life, away from the comforts of large
communities, Surgeon Thomas A BerryhiH, U.
S. N. has succeeded within two years in
tirely curing himself of consumption. Surgeon
Berryhil, who has just returned to duty as
head of the medical department of the cruiser
Baltimore, now fitting out at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, says he is as sound now as ever.
Two years ago. after a term of duty at the
bacteriological laboratory at the local yard. he
discovered that his lungs had become affected
with tuberculosis In a few months he lost
forty pounds in weight and the disease was
making rapid progress. when he went before
a medical board of survey and obtained leave
Of absence fer fifteen months He then set
out to eradicate the disease from his system
according to his own ideas. That summer he
went to Indian Territory and lived on q ranch
for several months. Meeting a young bank
clerk similarly afflicted. the surgeon suggested
that the two establish 2 camp in Texas. This
they did on a plain about one hundred miles
from San Antonio and more than thousand
feet above the level. Though the tenn
perature occasionally reached the freezing point,
they always slept with the sides of the tent up.
The days were spent in recreation and exercise
Surgeon Berryhill tells of large bags of quail
and grouse, long strings of fish and hunts for
'coons and squirrels and coyotes, to show how
he and his companion kept themselves occu-
pied. firing of all other forms of amusement
they set TO work TO exterminste a species of
rat that overran the country.
When he went to Texas the surgeon could
not walk a mile without getting tired. Before
leaving there he could hunt all day with
heavy gun and not be exhausted At the ex-
plraton or his leave the medical board de-
cided TO give him another six months and ne
returned to the West. Now physicians tell him
he is entirely well.
surgeon Berryhill does not seem to think that
his case Is extraordinary Cures are freqentlv
effected, he said yesterday I'VE have cured
consumptves right here in the Naval Hospital
What is required is plenty Of air, recreation and
wholesome food. During the time [ was on
leave l took almost no medicine 1 did take a
httie tonic but when found 1t did not agree
with me I let it co.
The surgeon says that autopsfes show that

lungs affected at some time or other

nearly half an hour before the special could be

stops between here and White Plains, the rail-
road men knew that quick time would have to
be made. Orders were sent to have the road
cleared of all freight trains and extra trains to
give the special all the chance possible of over
taking the express
When the Pittsfeld train pulled into Katonah,
forty-two miles from New-York the special was
close behind that orders were sent to hold

was done, and the belated passenger boarded the

what viii probably prove to be a successful eff

It is said that Kern and his wife have not
been on good terms recently. Kern is said to be
of a jealous disposition. and has had frequent
quarrels with his wife because of her alleged at
tentions to other men. Last night such a quar-

orrhage checked his utterance and finally the
coroner had TO desist. The hospital doctors
say that Kern cannot live.
