Bright's Disease and
 Diabetes News.
Law Offices of Henley & Costello,
 San Francisco. March14.

To the Legal Profession of Alabama:
 Was witness to the following: About two years ago Prof. Yost of Palo Alto. who was in an extreme condition due to advanced Bright's Disease, came to my office. He was attended by his physician who was himself a victim of Diabetes. The object of the visit was to meet prominent business man who had for months been investigating an alleged cure for Bright's Disease and Diabetes. and hear his verdict He declared that the claims were fully proven and that the cure had been discovered. Both Prof. Yost and his physician at once adopted the treatment. Within six months both were so we'll along towards recovery that they considered themselves beyond danger and at this date neither Brights Disease nor Diabetes hold any terrors for them, and the physician V success fully using the treatment in his prac- tice.
 Learning that my old law partner, Judge R. R. Bigelow, for many years Chief Justice of the State of Nevada, had had four or five of our best physl- clans, yet that he had had to give up practice and was in a serious condition. I lost no time in telling him of the above It resulted in his complete recovery and he is again hack to active practice. As to the durability of chronic Brights Dis ease and Diabetes I have no more doubt about 1t than that am living.
 Sincerely yours.

tor does not believe that he is mixed up

Miss stern's Attempted Suicide.

As was stated in yesterdays Gazette,
temporary mental alteration, due to
worry over the recent serious illness Of
her 6ance, yesterday prompted Miss
Rosa Stern, twenty-three years old, to
attempted suicide. The young woman
was alone in her room at the family
home, 1926 Tenth street northwest, at
the time. She had given no intimation
of any suicidal purpose, and nothing
wrong vas suspected until she came out
of her room with the blood flowing from
wound in her throat Physicians were
hastily summoned, and after it was as
certained that Miss Stern had missed
the iugular vein and that she vas suffer
ing principally from shock and loss OF
blood. she was sent to the Emergency
Hospital, where an operation was per-
formed and the. wound sewed up. Miss
Stern returned home on Wednesday after
spending several weeks with the family
in the country. While on their vaca-
ton the Stems received word that Miss
Rosa's fiance to whom she is TO be mar
ried this fall, was seriously i'll from ty-
phoid fever in Goldsboro, n. G. Miss
Stern was too i'll herself to go to Colds
boro, and the fact that she received only
intermittent bulletins Of his condition
seemed to induce melancholia, from
which she did not rally even when it
was learned that her promised husband
was recovering. Miss Stern's condition
is thought to be improving.

Thomas Walters in frenzied voice at a
hearing in Magistrate Smiths court yes
terday evening when Clarence Smith, an
lS-year-old negro, charged with insult
ing her 1l-year old daughter, Bertha,
was held under heavy bail for court.

Helen and Lawrence Hall, was playing
in the grounds of the William R. Allen
school when Smith joined them. After
threatening them it is alleged the negro
grossly insulted the Walters child, who,
hysterical with fright, ran home. When
the girls mother. who is employed at
the State Masonic Home, returned in
the evening, she at once swore out a
warrant for Smiths arrest, and he was
caught by Constable Shinn. Smiths
parents attempted to shield him by
claiming he is half-witted.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. 2, 1904.

THE CLASH of war in the East during
the mast week or more is probably the
most appalling in the history OF the
human race, and the sanguinary scenes
now being enacted between two deter
mined nations, armed with all the mod
ern contrivances for the destruction OF
human life, renders the conflict the most
bloody that could be imagined. The
country upon which the dogs OF war
have been turned loose is literally run
ming with blood as, to use common ex-
preston. Greek meets Greek in the tug
of war. The japanese, with an utter
contempt Of hg?an life, press on amid
showers Of bullets, cannonballs and shells
and are often moved down in platoons.
The Russians. with their national pres
tige at stake. stand often like stone walls
and are also cut down by thousands. The
belIigerents on both sides seem to have
lost the sense of self-preservation. Ihey
become intoxicated amid the continuous
roar of cannon and musketry and the
clouds of smoke and with spirit Of des-
peration press on even to the cannon
mouth. Such scenes are terrible to con-
template, as is the carnage which is mani
fest when occasional lulls occur. The
DISPATCHES tell us that the japanese
pile up their dead and make funeral
pyres of them and dispose OF the un'0r-
Inmates by incarceration. What could
DO more HORRIBLE While one OF the re-
cent battles was raging a fearful storm
of thunder and lightning broke over
the combatants, and while Russians
and japanese were struggling for the
mastery the celestial batteries were SEEM
ingly bringing heaven and earth together
in the terrible clash. Shells were burst
ing constantly in the air and the light
ming being continuous and vivid and the
thunder appalling, it was difficult to say
which was producing the greater dim
the gods or men. The dove of peace
has long since been frightened away to
more pacific shore, and from present
indications it will be long time before
it can venture again to the far East.

day afternoon, from 4 general break

rose to judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict Court, in which position he served
FIVE years. His highest judicial honor
was the presidency of the Virginia Dis
trict Court of Appeals. After the war
