Ykraemoni I tz k NEW TORE MIRACLE. 4- Remarkable Affidavit Made by A Well-KnownBusiness Man. Aflicted with Locomotor Ataxia for Fifteen Years-Did Kot Walk a Step for Five Years. Was tilree C| by the Leading Physicians of Hew Verb City sad Discharged (Tom the Manhattan Hospital as laearahle. (From the !few York Tribune.) Per sometime there 1ms been an increasing number of stories published in the newspapers of New York City, telling of marrelous cures of varioos diseases that have beeu made by dlflerent medicines and treatments. It has long been the intent ion of the lYibune to Investigate one of the most interesting cases that could be t'oUDd and give the truth to the world as a matter of news. H uppeuing on the oase of Geo. L’Hommendieu, the other duy an investigation was made with the following very happy result: When the reporter culled on Mr. L’Hemmedieu at the tesidence of Ills cousin. Mr. hklwurd Houghtallng, 371 W. 134th St., he said: “1 am 61 years of age and was born in Hudson, N Y. I served my term in the array, being corporal of Company A, 21st N, J. volunteers. It has been about hfleen years since 1 noticed the first symptoms of toy disease. 1 consulted Dr. Alien of Y'orkville, and Dr. Pratt, since deceased. “Dr. Pratt exhausted his powers in my behalf and Dually told me that he could do nothing tnore forme.” _ Finally 1 was advised by Dr. Gill to go to the well-known scientist, Dr. Hamilton. He gave me a most thorough examination and Hid me no good. 1 fell 1 was growing weaker everyday, aud went to the Manhuiian Hospital, adglst St. aud Park Ave., and Was under treSjpneutby Ur. Seguiu. He treated me for about three; mont its, and then told uie Hint X bad locomotor ataxia and was beyoud the aid of medical scieucc. 1 was now u physical wreck; all power, feeling and color hud left my legs, and it was impossible for me to leei the most severe pinch or eveu the thrust of a needle. Ifniyskin was scratched there would be no flow of blood whatever, und it would take Jt fully six weeks to heal uu. In the night 1 would have to leel around to find my legs. My pains were excruciating and at times almost unbearable. I would take large doses ,of morphine to deaden the pains. About five ' years ago Dr Lewis A. Sayre of 2S5 5th Ave., inude a trial ot the French method of stretching the spine. Although | received no benefit from this treatment I shall always leel grateful to Dr. Sayre for his great interest and kindness. So severe had my case become by this time that I could not walk without assistance,aud was almost ready to give up Hie. '; I began the use of Pink Pills for Pale People in September last. I took tbefn rather irregularly at first with the cold water treatment. In a very short time X was convinced that I was getting better and A began the use x>i the pills in earnest, taking uboutonetyx every five days. The first sign of Improvement was in November IKK, when I had a rush of blood to the head and feet causing a stinging and prickling sensation. February 22d, 1883, was the first time in-five years 1 had seen any sign of blood in my feet. From this time on 1 began to improve. My strength and uppetlte have gradually returned; 1 now have , perfect control ot my bowels, und the pains have gradually left me. 1 can sit and write bv the hour and walk up stairs by balancing myself with my hands. Without doubt 1 am a new man from the ground up, and have every reason to believe that I will be hale and hearty in less than six months. 1 have taken about 12 boxes of pills.” Sworn to before me this eleventh day of March, 1883. H. E. Msltillk, Commissioner of Deeds, (sbai.] New York City. The reporter called on Mr, Hubert W. Smith a member of the firm of Marchal & Smith, who said;

I nave Known nr utw. ju nuiiim«.iuicu for twenty year*. He became connected w itli our Arm as secretary In 1S7S. and attended strictly to his office duties until 1881, when he was stricken down with his trouble. As the disease advanced he was obliged to succumb and reluctantly gave up his office work. 1 know that he tried various physicians and their treatments without the least success, and as he states, he was discharged from the Manhattan Hospital, and told that he was in the last stages of locomotor ataxia and was beyond the hope of human aid About six months ago. or so, be was advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill for Pale People, with the cold water treatment. The last time I saw Mr. L'Homniedleu he had gained the use of his limbs to such an extent that lie could walk, up stairs with the help of his wife, and is now doing much important work for us at bis home.” Robt.

Attempted To Let the Contract for a New Jail Building. __* The Board of Commissioners Fail in Their Second Trial. Irregularity iu >’ot Approving the Plans until Specifications. Judge Eiubree, of J'r.nccton, Appeared for (lie Keiuoiistrants. The board of county commissioners met in session last Thursday for the avowed purpose ot letting a contract for the building of a jail and sheriffs residence. At two o’clock the board opened its session and proceeded to work, but before much was accomplished Judge Embree, of Princeton, put in an appearance for those who are remonstrating against the erection of such building. The ^eutleman from Priucetou took issue with the board of commissioners that they were not injregular session and had not been called together, legally, for tor any purpose whatever, and that they were simply acting as any other citizens; that the board had never approved the plans and specifications, and that they were not filed with tho countv auditor until after notice had been made of the letting. A very large crowd was present to see what action the board would take in the matter. A number of those present were farmers who are not in favor of a new jail being built at the present time, or until the present debt is paid off. They claim that they are tiow overburdened with taxatiou and with nothing to show for what they are paying in from year to year. On the other hand there were a number of the citizen, of Petersburg present who claim that the building should be built. The board took the matter under advisement and after having received legal advice come to the conclusion that the bidders should withdraw their bids, and that at their next regular session they would approve the plans and specifications and proceed in the regular way. The next session will be held in August, commencing on the 7th day, There were six bids on file for the contract—some of the bidders having been here on the previous day of letting. The bidders after findiug out the exact state of affairs were not over-anxious for the contract, not wanting any trouble over any matter which was not clearly within the limits of tho law, as some of them had been advised by leading attorneys that the board was not legally in session. > It is not necessary to discuss this matter of the letting of the contract any further as the board of county commissioners were elected by the people of Pike county to do their duty. If it is their duty to build a jail they will do so, attd vice versa. But one thiug is sure, they must and should do business • iu conformity with the law.

Speaking of a possible visitation of cholera this season, Secretary Metcalf, of the 6tate board of health says: “Thd prospects of escaping the plague are now very good but I do not like the way that small-pox has crept into the state. If this disease can get into our ports so easily, it will not be hard for cholera to take a foot-hold. Perhaps the disinfection is not so thorough from ports not known to have the cholera, but whether cholera breaks out or not in this country Indiana is able to take care of itself. Our board believes we have plans that wilt, with the money on hand, be effective in keeping the plague out of the state. The smallpox has been confined to its original limits.”

Last fall I was taken with a kind of summer eoniplaiut, accompanied with a wonderful diorrhea. Soon after my wife’s sister, who lives with us, was taken, in the same way. We used almost everything without benefit. Then I said, let us try Chamberlain’s colio, cholera and diorrhea remedy, which we did, and that cured us. 1 Ihiuk much of it, as it did for me what it was recommended to do.

Adams & son.j People who throw straw, paper and all maimer of trash in the streets, should never complain about the dirty, untidy, unclean appearance of the town. The unkempt and uncleaipfppearauce of a premises, town or city show to a stranger the character and habits of a people. A little more care in regard to cleaning up and keeping clean would enhance the beauty of more than one street in this citv as well as add to the value of the property adjoining. There is no sort of use in the street force cleaning the gutters and sewer pipes when people fill them up again at once with all sorts of waste. Why are not the ordinances enforced in regard to trash thrown in the street. Buckleu’s Arnica Sal re.
