Call or write m». t. P. BARNES, ATTOBNKT, Woodstook I1L Lanniry's disease, an nnostnl! form of paralysin, killed Robert C. Turner, si medical student in the UniTersity of Buf­ falo, recently. Paralysis of the dia­ phragm and intercostal muscles'stopped natural respiration. Then artificial res­ piration krpt the sufferer alive, but final­ ly the physical strain was too much and the yoong man died of suffoca*ion. The case was r%" most interesting one from the point of view of the physician, and when Turner died there were beside his cot in the General Hospital many surgeons and physicians of eminence ia the city, who had been watching the pro­ gress of the disease toward the vital or­ gans of the body. On the afternoon of Tuesday, Student Turner called on Dr. H. Sherman and stated that he was not feeling well and did not know what was the trouble, Symptom* pointed to stomach trouble. A little later a suggestion of the possi­ bility of scarlet fever appeared in the symptoms. Dr. Sherman advised the young man to go to the General Hospi­ tal, and on Wednesday he entered the in­ stitution. There it was noted that the temperature remained normal, but the pulse was too rapid. On Wednesday evening tL<> patient had difficulty in moving his legs. Here was something entirely new in such a case, and the physicians were greatly puzzled. At midnight trouble in breathing came. A consultation of the houee staff was called. Then other physicians came and examined the sufferer, among those who examined the patient being Drs. Park, Rochester, Put man, Cary, Mayor Diehle and a dozen other physicians. All were completely baffled. In a short time the principal muscles governing respiration ceased to perform their functions. It was aftsr noting the progressive features ot the paralysis that the experts decided that it was Landry's disease which had attacked the student. By 1 o'clock the patient could breathe only by lifting himself up by grasping the head of the bedstead and alternate­ ly raising and lowering himself. This self-ad minstered artificial respiration sufficed for a time to supply enough air to the lungs to sustain life. But tbe dread and creeping disease laid hold of the shoulders and.arms, thus cutting off the patient's power of continuing the artificial breathiig. V/hen tbe paralysis attacked the shoulders Turner would have died in a very short time of suffocation had he Jbeen alone. But his classmates and col­ lege mates in general came to tbe rescue when it was found that they could be of assistance. Squads of students were tired out by the physicial exertion at­ tendant upon raising and lowering the arms to admit air to the lungs of the doomed young man. All knew that he was doomed, for rarely does Landry's disease give up before the death of the one attacked. None knew this better than the young student. All day Thursday the students worked over the form of their comrade. In the meantime Turner's physiqae was giving way. The end could not be far off Turner was asked if he bad a message to leave to his mother. The reply from the perfectly consicious young man, as he lay close to death, was: "Tell her that I was the same old Bob to the end." Tracheotomy was performed, a tube was inserted into the trachea and Fell's artfiicial. breathing apparatus was at­ tached. At Thursday midnight the par­ alysis had left untouched only the brain. The end came shortly before 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Consciousness closed when Landry's disease touched the brain. Turner's parents were notified by tele­ graph of the death of their son, and a brother arrived yesterday to take the re­ mains to the old home, at Brasie Cor­ ners, near V\ atertown. Yesterday the University of Buffalo was in mourning. Last evening the university chapel was tbe scene of the funeral, Rev. George B. Richards of the Church of the Ascension, of which the deceased was a member, de­ livering a brief and touching eulogy. Nearly every student in the university was present. This morning, shortly after midnight, the body was removed to the Central station to be taken home, members of the A. O. D. fraternity and many students escorting the coffin. Robert C. Turner was one of the most popular young men in the university, where he had been a student for two years. Those who knew him best were not surprised at the cool and manly manner in which he faced the slowly ap­ proaching death. Turner was always cMerful. His society was sought by others. He was highly respected by the professors with who be came in contact. Not only was Turner beloved by all who knew hitu, but the circumstances of his death and his heroism in patiently awaiting what he knew for hours was the enevitable. rill Berve to make his jiame a noted one in tbe history of the uniyersity. |%, r]|7 ANTED--8KVERAI.

FRIEND VAN SLYKE: \ Dear Sir:--Having a moment spare I concluded to drop yon a fine that VI may be interesting to you and otbertf , only partially acquainted with this parti" >> 3 o'our civilized world. 1 came here two weeks ago to-day, and 1 am enjoying1 . f myself with the people and country and j wall probably stay at least one week longer. The weather has been very dei ^ lightful most of the time. Monday, Nov., , 21 it rained a good share of the day,, , turning colder towards night, and freez- ^ ing quite hard. I saw ice % of an inch ^ thick in the morning. Since then, and | up to yesterday noon, Dec. 3, it has been v good weather, when it commenced rain-' ^ ing from the north-east, continuing most i of the time until 7:20 P. M., when the9 ^ wind commenced to rise and tarn cold, i and later snow. This morning the ' ground is covered with a couple of inches of snow. At about 9:30 A. M. the son % came out and it is again bright, and * i what we would in Lake County, 111., call' spring like. I came were to sell Dave Perkins*" annual thoroughbred stock sale. We obtained an average of about 4ff $ 1 5 , o n P o i a n C h i n a s , s o m e t h i r t e e n - " ; , - weeks-old pigs bringing $17.50 each. Buyers came from a long distance as ' J well as near by, and many bids by mail. l| All seemed well pleased and satisfied as .Ji% did D. B. Perkins the proprietor. In the [ evening we organized the State Swine • Breeders' Association with a good at- tendance, which has been talked of and r looked forward to for a long time. uS, Thursday evening the order of Wood- ^ men of the World gave an oyster supper -J • ? with a good sized attendance, with a financial success and a good time gen- / erally. Friday evening Brown Bros., who operate our stock ranch on Prairie *; • • "! Longue, gave an Arkansas hop, and of \ ^ course I had to go and join in the fan. The boys have been here nearly four ' years, coming from Missouri, with very ^ $ little stuff, but now they are well healed, owning 250 or more head of cattle. £ They have fifty head that will net them x ^ $30 each in St. Louis, that cost them - . only $10 each one year or less ago, and all they have fed them was a little cotton seed last spring for a while when they came up off the range at night, after running around their hay stacks during the couple or so of months winter we have herer. During the summer they run on the range which is the best their way of any I know of. The boys are making money. This last week I have been over on this place three miles north-east of Carlisle helping Ed. Deeder, who is at work for me by the month, to sow w inter wheat and oats. We have got in about 35 acres up to date and want to get in at least 15 more. Tbe ground has been in good condition to plow and seed of late, so farmers have been hustling. Winter and spring wheat and oats is a new departure for tbis country, there being none at all sown three years ago. I shipped a threshing outfit here, with a wind straw stacker on same, not expect­ ing to do much last fall, still the boys got out about 20,000 bashels. The engine is a 14-horse Port Huron, which we will hitch to a variable, friction feed, m»dium saw mill, as there is much fine hardwood here. I want to put oat several acros to early potatoes, p'anting February 1st and harvesting May 1st, so as to catch the early markets at St. Louis and Chicago. Am building agood sized grainery and cow stable, as we have an up-to-date creamery in Carlisle and other towns. Tnink someof getting up a hunt when I get home to come here this winter, as there is small game here on tbe prairie and deer, turkey and other game back in the timber along the White and Arkansas rivsrs several miles from here. There is a large party that come annually from Ohio. Vfot wanting to detain you longer tbis time, I will remain as of old. Unsystematically Yours, T.

It Aid* la the Detection lomt Pood. of TTnwfli Daniel Webster in the famous White trial in Salem, Mass., years ago declared that "murder will out." This maxim has been found applicable to many other things besides murder. Housewives know it to be true when there is alum ia baking powder. A bitternestf in the bread at once betrays the alum's pres­ ence. It can't conceal its true nature. The alum bitterness "will out," and be­ cause it will, physicians, who understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are at a loss to know why people con­ tinue to buy baking powders i-ontaining it. All baking powders sold for twenty- five cents a pound and less contain alum. There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders. A pure cream erf tarter powder such as Dr. Price's was shown to be at the World's Fair, goes so much further and gives so loicb bet­ ter results, there is no doubt of its btJag more economical in the long ran.
