Calcined Oyster Shells Her Cancer.

To the Editor of the Scientific American: Yout paper of June 4, 1887, contained an extract frem the London Lanc<>t relative to the tre tment of cancer with ealeium carbonate. There being no physician here 1 treated an Indian womax who had been afflicted with a cancerous tumor to my knowledge for over feur years. A couple of month? after using the remedy it commenced to improve. It is now so small that it can be said to be healed. 1 would advise any one having a cancerous tumor to use calcium carbonate as directed, and also think it well worth republishing. W. H. Woodcock. The following is the paragraph as published in the Scientific American of June 4,1887.

CALCINED OYSTER SHELLS AS A REMEDY FOR CANCER.

In a recent number ol t v e Lancet, Dr. Peter Hood, of Louden, refers to a communication of his published in the same journal nearly twenty years ago, on the value of calcium carbonate in the form of calcined oyster shells as a means of arresting the growth of cancerous tumors. In a ease which he then reported, that of e l«*dv nearly eighty years old, the growth sloughed away and left a healthy surface after a course of the remedy, »s much as would lie an a shilling being taken once or twioe a d>y in a little warm water or tea. He now reports another case es seirrhus of the breast, in the wife of a physician, in which the treatment was followed by an arrest es the growth and a cessation of tho pain, the improvement having new lasted for years, and no recrudescence having thus far occurred. He urges that the remedy can do no harm, and that the pnma faeie evidence in its favor is stronger than that on which, at Dr. Olay’s recommendation, the profession lately displayed an extraordinary eagerness to try Chian turpentine. He would restrict the trials to well marked cases of seirrhus, and insists that no benefit should be looked for in less than three months. *

Comments of the Press on Judge Woods’ Performances.

Chicago Herald: Probably no more of the villians who thus offended will be brought to justice, &s the influence of the national administration has be an thrown about them, but the revelations which have been made have been sufficient to fix upon the republiean bosses in Indiana the re ponsibility for the most attrocious corruption of the ballot ever known in this country. Tney have likewise resulted in a healthy demand all over the United States for nt>w and stringent election 1 ws. If Gen. Harrison and his friends can find any comfort in the reflection that the methods which secured his election have saused a dozen states to adopt the Australian election law, with a view to the prevention of sueh crimes in the future, they are welcome to it.

The officials at lndienapolis, who have struggled against serious odds and almost without success, so far as convictions aie concerned, to bring to light the iniquities cf the Dudle s, are entitled to thß thanks of the entire country for the zeal which they have manifested. Some good has resulted, at least, and even though all the vote buyers go free it will never again be possible for such shameless conduct as that of Dudley and his coadjutors to meet the success whiob crowned it last November.

Evansville Courier: No thinking man wishes to spe *k dis - respectfully of the judiciary, nor would we class the unfortunate partisanism which surrounds th e action of the supreme court i * some of these cases, with thedownright infamy that has the name of Woods an ev.l sotrad in the ears of honest men the world over. Woods stands alone, a monument of recreancy to the aws of his country and the laws

lof God; a fit association in history with the infamous Dudley, who is now a fugitive from the clutch of the law of two states, and whose crimes are unpunished because Woods interposed his judicial power and authority to save him from the penitentiary. Terre Haute Gazette: The laborious efforts of the grand jury to punish a few of the many corruptionists who debauched the ballotbox last fall were, for the most part, rendered nugatory by a series ot rulings by Judge Woods which were directly in the interest of election rascals. In these rulings he violated not only the law, but common sense and common decency, and reversed his own rulings in previous cases where men were tried, convicted, sentenced to the penitentiary and are now serving lime for +heir crimes. It has been the most unblushing piece of judicial jugglery in the interest of rascality that ever disgraced any court in Christendom.

Tipton Times: The'limes must confess that Judge Woods is a better judge of law than most ordinary men. He can place more constructions on » single clause of law than any jurist in the United States. W. A. Woods can always find a section es la v to meet present emergencies, when a republican criminal is about to break into the penitentiary.

A burro and ?„ bulldog had a fight recently in Fresno, Gal. Burro is Californian for donkey. The hurra was browsing on cockle burrs by the roadside when the bulldog trotted along, stooped, and, without a growl, seized the donkey by the shankjbone’of the off hind leg. The donkey immediately brought its bind quarters into action, and its legs and ths dog flew through the air in a most attire wav, for the 1 itter refused t© let go. The burrp lay down on back, brought his hied legs up to his head and seized the dog with his teeth. Then both hang on. The dog let go first. The burro arose and rubbed the dog back and forth over a barbed-wire fence until it was dead.

The very interesting discovery of many years ago of Jewish colonies in western China is now well supplemented by the discovery of Christian clans or sects m Africa, south of Abpssinia. These wholly isolated peoples have retained some forms of Christia 1 belief and worship since the early centuries, when Egypt and the lands of the Boutn were in the hands of the followers of Jesus. Mohammedanism arising in the seventh century cut off- thisjseetion, and has obliterated Christianity to the nerth of them. What is left, however of the better faith is now so thoroughly degenerate that it is not worth the preserving. Africa is full of wonders.

A man hopelessly lost in the bush in South Australia, after wandering about for four days, came upon the telegraph line between Adelaide and Fort Darwin He hadn’t strength to go further, but he managed to climb a pole and ent the wire. Them he made himself as comfortable as possible and waited. The plan worked well. The telegraph repairers were sent along the line, and they came te the wanderer in time to save his life

George Washington was an enthusiastic Mason. In a letter to the Ehode Island Mason he says: “Being persuaded that a just application of the principles on which the Masonic fraternity is founded must be productive of private virtue and pnblie prosperity, I ehall always be happy to advance the interest of the society and to be considered by them a deeerving brother.”

HON. DAVID TURPIE

Senator Turpie, on his retnrn to Indianapolis from Washington,was interviewed by a reporter and saic that the armv of office-seekers whioh invaded -Washington on inauguration day is disbanding; the patriots are returning home leaving behind them, on file in appointment divisions of the departments, tons of indorrements and petitions. The applications for office under Harrison’* administration exceed in number any two previous administrations. “Until the offices are filled,” said he, “the office seekers will suppress their disappointment, still hoping to catch on to something; but when the patronage is distributed, there will be no end of complaining. Of the cabinet and the appointments made so far, notning can be said till they have been in long enough to stand trial- President Harrison stands the strain well, and he looks as well as he did when he left Indianapolis last February. Most of the Republican congressmen have gone home and he will have an opportunity to take some rest till congress convenes.” “Will the new states and the r©apportionment based upon the next census, give the republican party any advantage over the democrats in the lower house in congress and in the eleeioral college?”

“After the reapportionment for the next decade nas been made the situation will remain unchanged; New York, Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey will still hold the key to the situation. The republicans will gain some electoral votes in tbs West, but they will lose in the East The democrats will hold their own in the South east, in Indiana, New York and New Jersey, and gain in the Southwest, while Montana will eo doubt be a democratic state. As a territory Montana has gone rep iblican but tw ce since its organization. We have fighting chances in Bhode Island. However, New York, Indiana and New Jersey will remain the battle ground of the campaign in 1892.” “Then you do not believe that the iron manufacturers of the South will sueeeed in oaptnring the republiean organization fiom the negroes and conver' the whits vote of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Nerth Carolina to republicanism on the protection idea?” “If such a movement is on foot it is not worth while to discuss it because nothing will result from ii The people of the South wh o are to be benefited by protection are insignificant compared to the great mass of people who are «.p----pressed by the high tariff, The republicans can not look to the West for reernits to the protection ides, and they naturally look to the South, where a few men have amassed large fortunes manufacturing iron with cheap labor.” “Is it probable that a taiift bill will pass .the first session of the next congress?”

“No. I believe the republicans will let the present tariff alone. The monopolists are well pleased with the present tariff schedule, and they will have the power to prevent legislation in this matter.” “What will the demot rats do?” “What can they do? Both houses and the executive are republican. All they can do is to agitate the question and educate the people to tariff reform.” “If the republicans pass no tariff bill, hew will they rednee the surplus?”

“Oh, it does not require a tariff bill to keep down the surplus. Blair bill will send $80,000,000 south to catch votes and subsidies to steams! ip companies will take what’s left of the surplus. If at the end of Harrison’s administratiou the tariff seheduio is different from what it is now, I will be much surprised. When the republican senators reported what is known as the senate tariff bill they never intended to pass it and they do not intend to pass any duaing the next congress.

“What is ills opinion of the republican senators of ex-president Cleveland?” “They admit that Clevela id was a good president, honest and a man of ability. No president ever left the white house *ith a better reoord than Grover Cleveland did when he turned over the executi , r e mansion to Gen. Harrison.” “How is Gov. Hill regarded as a presidential' possibility?” “Thera is nothing said about Hill or Any other candidate. We will have to wait for the election of 1890 before the availability of candidates can be discussed. The election of 1882 brought Cleveland forward as a presidential candidate in 1884. Who knows but what the election of 1890 will also ehange the situation?” - The law prohibiting the sale of tobacco to children did not have an emergency clause attached, as but will soon b in force. It makes it unlawful “for any j erson to give, barter or sell, directly or indirectly, to any ohild or children uuder sixteen years of age, any tobacco, oigars or cigarrettes, to be chewed or smoked by said child or children,” or to *ny other person with the knowledge that it is to be so used. The penalty is a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $lO.

o^ YEARS i OI AGO I

the Threshing Machines then in use were almost wholly of the class known as the “ Endless Apron” style. Then it was that Nichols & Shepard, of Battle Creek, Mich, .invented and began to develop an entirely new and novel style of Grain Thresher and Separator, which they very appropriately named the ‘'Vibrator,” It was a revolution in Threshing Machines, and from a small beginning of five machines in 1858 they soon reached a product of x,ooo yearly. Their Vibrator drove the “ Endless Apron” machine out of market, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. Today all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols & Shepard have continued in the business without change of name, location, or management; and during the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing Machine for grain and seeds, as superior to all existing machines as weir former was to the ‘ Endless Apron.’ They name this new and improved Thresher
