AWAKENS AFTER
HER LONG SLEEP
PRETTY FLORENCE RYAN DID
NOT KNOW SHE HAD SLUM-
BERED FOR EIGHT
MONTHS.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Dec. after
having been dead to the world for
eight months, beautiful Florence
Ryan, 20 years old, whose long and
seemingly natural slumber has puz
zled physicians in this country and in
Europe, IS awake and appears to be in
the possession Of all her mental fac,
ulties. When she fell asleep eight
months ago, after suffering terrible
injuries from a fall, her last words
were:
'I'm so tiTed!"
And when she awoke early one re,
cent morning her first request was
that her sister should read to her
from newspaper the news of the
day.
Apparently she hal no idea that
during her sleep the world had been
moving along and making history
Tire young woman seemed to think
that she had been asleep only few
hours, and she was not told that for
two-thirds Of Il year her relatives had
watched ever her nigAt and day, hop.
ing that some time the sleep which
ct times promised to be the sleep OF
death would come to a happy end.
Neither was she Informed that
while her sIumber lasted specialists
had been studying her case, cndeav.
oring to falhom the mystery of her
sleep.
The change for the better had been
coming on fer about week, but no
body dreamed that when the sleep
broke she would have a clear mind.
That she is in full possession OF
her mental faculties cOmpcnsates her
relatives for their long vigil, they
say, even though she may remain a

The Paramount Duty.

Reference has been made to the
run by the citizens and hose wagon
No. 2 Of the First ward to the fire
Monday night. Considering the long
distance, the steep grade, the heavy
load and Icy condition Of the streets
it was a wonder that old Tom, with
the inflrmlty of his years, was able
to maize the time he did. Indeed he
did valliantly to get there at all, as
we know that he fell down at least
once by the way, but he was never
known to fail in getting to place Of
duty, If any others were able to re,
port. And while on this subject, we
again call attention to the need Of an
other horse for hose station No. Q.
This station has a good wagon, how.
ever Others may critiCise it dispar.
agingly, but it is too heavy for one
horse especially for one Of old Toms
age, who for past service merits be-
ing put upon the pension roll. 1t is
therefore burning shame that our
city officials do not take steps for ola
Toms relief by furnishing another
horse to help him bear the burdens
long imposed and borne so patiently.
If along vita the expenditures Of the
public funds for other purposes, some
thing is not done for the better horse
supply of Station No. 2, the matter
should be referred to the Humane So.
ciety with authority to bring charges
against the city for cruelty to ami
mails.
There is plenty Of ground room for
another horse STALL the fire ladies
there have the tools. and are more
than willing to do work Of construc.
ton. All they want, and what the
First ward has a right to demand, is
another horse for the better service
needed in order to public safety. 1t is
high time, therefore, that some move
was made in this direction, and in
honor of old Tom who only knows
enough to DO his best, but is made
quate to the demands.

So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, Of all the
several schools OF practice, in praise
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting TO quote
from the various works on MGteria
MedicG one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so Volumin-
GUS that only the briefest and'most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let US say that the
Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root OF which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queen 5 root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., on emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor Of Materia Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root vt is
the most natural of stimulantS to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
huence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation Of stomach) and
gastric (stomaCh) liberation"
Many other authorities as well as DR..
EllingwOod extO the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, NJ. D., author
of the American Dispensatory; Prof.
]. NJ. Scudder, NJ, D., in his Specific
Medication" Dr.. Hale Of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., Of New York, in his "Or-
ganic Medicines" DR.. BartholOw Of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extOl the curative virtues OF Golden
Seal in cases Of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DR.. EIlingwood recommends
it most highly, Yin those cases Of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
engagements peculiar to women and
says, "It is a most important remedy in
many disorders of the womb" Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
Ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorte Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the "Golden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
rs other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the HydraStis, OIL
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung anG
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenomenal cures Of
nGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners OF all schools of medicine
Tor the cure OF diseases OF the bronchisI
throat and lungs.

Condition Was Alarming.

Mr.. s. w. Schooey, the meat
market man of Water street, called in
a friend OFF tho street yesterday in
great excitement saying he had the
fever and had it bad, and asking what
course to pursue. After a consulta
ton, and diagnosis OF his case when
his excitement had sufficiently sub
sided, it was found that he had a
malignant case Of trap fever" and
desired to get into the gun club, so he
could shoot off" with the rest.

both the army and navy appears to
be confusing and anomalous. III the

is simply warrant officer, directing
subordinate duties. In old ships and
under former arrangements his posi-
