Treated Case of United
States.
New York Tribune.

Mrs. Annette Koesting, Of No. 289
Grove street, Williamsburg, whose
recovery from lockjaw, the third cure
on record and the first in this coun-
try, was told about in yesterdays
Tribune, will be discharged probably
today from the Williamsburg Hos
pital, where she was taken a month
ago, apparently dying.
Mrs. Koesting ran a rusty nail in
to ner left arm while attempting to
close a window. She paid no atten-
ton to the wound until a week later,
when her arm suddenly swelled to
twice it's natural size. Tetanus pois-
oning had fully developed in that
time and when she sent for her ply
sician he could do nothing for her.
When Mrs. Koesting was taken to
the hospital she was suffering great
agony. The physicians found that
her jaws had become firmly locked
and the case had reached its last
stages. DR.. Benedict Vogt, the house
surgeon, Immediately sent for Profs..
Butler and Malament, visiting sur
geons Of the hospital, and they decid-
ed that ner only chance to live was
to undergo the tetanus antitoxin
treatment. A double hypodermic in
lection Of the serum was administer
ed. Her jaws had become so tightly
locked that it was necessary to re-
move one Of her teeth so she could
be fed liquid food. Although she
had been treated by her family phy-
sician and two physicians Of the
health department the week previous
to her entering the hospital, the medi-
cine they used evidently had no ef-
feet. After week Of their treat
ment, using the antitoxin serum vita
no success, they gave it up as useless
and recommended her to the hospital.
The first days treatment at the
hospital consisted Of four injections
of the fluid and the next day the ply
siciaB were surprised to see that her
condition was no worse. The patients
temperature, respiration and color
were gradually returning to tneir
noraml condition. The next day only
two injections of the serum were
made and the third day she showed
more improvement.
This treatment was kept up for a
week, and at the end Of that time DIR.
Vogt found that she was able to open
her jaw nearly a quarter Of an inch.
This being the first sign Of cure, the
physicians informed Drs. Butler and
Malament again. Two days later she
was able to open her jaws nearly an
inch. The swelling due from the pols-
on was gradually disappearing. The
following week the patient was able
to take food and improved rapidly ev-
cry day.
The physicians reduced the quan-
tity Of serum every day for two
weeks until her jaws could be opened.
She was soon able to chew meats and
other solid food with ease. Three days
ago the patient sat up and was soon
able to walk around the wards OF
the hospital. She has recovered SO
fully that she is now pronounced al
most cured.
The hospital physicians said yes
terday that a report of her case
would be made to the County Medl-
cal Society and would be brought up
before the members of the Academy
Of Medicine.
Of the two other cases OF tetanus
cured one was in Berlin and the 9TH
er in France.

INVENTED ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.

suEery Luster on . Pond That DSt .
 Beadmaker Thinking.
 The string of artificial pearls was very beautiful But for the regularity Of the beads any one would have thought 1t rope of real pearls worth a kings ransom, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat
 "I'll tell you" said the jeweler, as he wrapped up the deceptive necklet, "how the wonderfully perfect artificial pearl came to be invented.
 "A rich French beadmaker, Noise Jacquin-he lived In the seventeenth century-found pond In his garden covered one morning with a lovely sil- very fuster. Amazed. he called his gar dener, who said 1t was nothing-some albettes had got crushed, that was all.
 "Albettes were little silver fish bleaks-the Leuciscus alournus The gardener explained that If you crushed them they always gave the water a pearly sheen like that Jacquin put on his thinking cap.
 For six years he worked with beads and bleaks, wasting millions on both. But finally he achieved success He learned how to extract the pearly lus- ter from the bleakS scales and to cover a glass bead with 1t
 What he did-and his method Is still used-was to scrape the scales from the fish, wash and rub them and save the water. The water, decanted, gave of a lustrous fluid of the thick ness of oil. veritable pearl paint, a magic fluid that imparts a lovely pearly sheen to everything 1t is applied to.
 Tt takes 1000 bleaks to yield an ounce of this pearl paint"

Ever seasick?"
 Never on the ocean"
 Then don't you ever go. Stay ashore and be happy. I went across the At lantic once-twice, In fact, because I came back. It says a good deal for the strength of home ties that l ever did. If there had been any way of tunneling under I'd have done It. Sick the whole of the time, and it's the worst sickness there Is, I'm willing to bet It wasn't very rough weather at that I must have been the only pas senger affected to any extent It was better than a vaudeville show for the rest of the passengers, that sickness of mine-an unfailing source of mirth and laughter. And its seldom l pick up an alleged comic paper that don't see seasickness alluded to more or less deli cately as the merriest kind of merry jest"
 Its one of the stock wheezes," said the man with the aquiline nose.
 Sos the green-appls colic," said the man h the crush hat That's q jocund sort of experience to have, too. don't think a goat ever butted me, but I don't think I should laugh If I saw anybody else butted. should Imagine the shock would be extremely painful, something like getting fall on roller skates. I've suffered that Do you think I'd laugh If I saw a man hay ing his leg amputated or giggle if he lost all his money and got thrown out on the street with his family on a cold winter nightT
 "No," replied the man with the aquiline nose. But I wouldn't have cared If you had laughed. I'm only sorry that she will have to leave us 50 soon, but then my wife isn't her only daughter"

It's quite likely that my mother-in- law will stay until the end of July" replied the man with the aquiline nose and retreating chin. Then he added : T see you have no sense Of humor"
 What makes you think so;" asked the man with the crush hat.
 You never cracked a smile"
 II pride myself on it." said the man with the crush hat. "I never smile at any of 'em. I latter myself that my nature Is too sympathetic, and then I've had personal experiences that have de veloped the sympathetic side of me still more. You get of a neat bit of repar- tee or make any sort of humorous re- mark and you'll get the cockle-warm- Ing, responsive laugh from me about as quick as you will from the next one but don't see anything remarkably funny about that, and I'll bet you don't"
 You're dead right there" agreed the man with the aqualine nose.
 "Of course I'm right. I remember once when l was kid I was rambling through the wood and I saw a gray ball of thing like a Japanese lantern hanging to the limb of a tree. I'd never seen anything like 1t before, and nobody had ever shown me one, So I naturally picked up a stick and gave it an investigating poke. The next fhfn0 ura rrtnntno at tha speed In homeward direction, letting out a yell at every jump. Every now and then something Ike a red-hot wire Jabbed into me, and by the time got home I was about as badly stung kid as you ever saw in your life. Moth CT didn't hold her sides and go into fits of laughter. She never did have any sense of humor. She put me to bed and bathed my swellings with am- monia and soda and things"
 "A hornet sting Is pretty bad" saie the man with the aquillne nose, feel ingly.
 "I should say 1t was bad So Is a mules kick. I was harnessing a mule once to blow, and as I was fixing the breeding he hauled of and kicked me on the knee. It's a wonder be didn't break the cap, but as 1t was I was nearly three weeks in bed with ice packed around It, and my leg Is weak at the knee joint to this day. But when I got to hobbling around on crutches everybody I knew talked as if 1t was a screamingly hilarious experience. couldn't get their point of view, though"
 "I don't wonder" said the othec man.

Mrs. Aline DePasse, 776 E. 18th St., New York, N. Y, writes:
 Tt gives me pleasure to testify to the curative qualities of Peruna and Manalin.
 "I was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good.
 "One day happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna almanac. I decided to try Peruna and Manalin. l bought a bottle of each, and after taking them for a week I noticed a change for the better So I kept it up, and after using twelve bottles was perfectly cured.
 "I also gave the medicine to my children and they had the same bene- out these remedies in the house.
 'I highly recommend Peruna and Manalin to all my friends, and in fact to everybody"
 Miss Mildred Grey, no Weimer St., Appleton, Wis, writes:
 ''It gives me pleasure to recom- mend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. l had this disease for number of years, and could not en- joy a mouthful of food that I ate. It was indeed a great relief when hit upon Peruna. and obtained de- cided results from the first. I took six bottles before felt entirely cured of my trou ble, but I had an agra yated casa,"

Most men of weight dislike the frail gilt and satin chairs which accidentally fall to their lot in a crowded drawing room. They were in use in Mr. Web ster's time. At an evening reception given to some western lawyers soon after the accession of President Tyler and the dissolution of President Har- rison's cabinet MT. stanberry, late At torney General, was accompanied by his bashful friend. MT. Leonard, who immediately retired to . corner and se- lected this gilded trife as a resting place. In order to withdraw still far thsr from notice he tilted the frail structure backward.
