DAISY’S YE^R IN SOUTHERN CALI¬ 
FORNIA. 
ALICE P. ADAMS. 
Chung, the Chinaman. 
It was some time before Daisy became ac¬ 
customed to the Chinamen; she thought they 
all looked alike, and had such stupid expres¬ 
sionless faces. First sbe learned to distin¬ 
guish the vegetable man fu'om Mr. Erman's 
helper, Chung. After a while, she reudily 
recognized many of the Celestials from the 
neighboring ranches who came to visit their 
countrymau at Rose Cottage. And, finally, 
she wrote home to her sister that "though 
there wasn’t as much difference in Chinamen’s 
faces as in white people’s, she must have been 
blind to think them as near alike as peas in 
a pod.” 
The vegetable John came daily, as Mr. 
Erman had fallen Into the easy-going Califor¬ 
nia customs, and paid little attention to a 
garden beyond the various kinds of berries, 
saying it was cheaper to buy the vegetables 
than to raise them. So Daisy often went out 
w’ith Mrs. Erman to see Johu display his 
"sleet potato,” "eabbagee,” or "stlaw-beily,” 
as the case might be. He was always pleas¬ 
ant and smiling, and Daisy asked, one morn¬ 
ing, if he wasn’t getting rich. But he shook 
his head aud said, "Heap hard work—heap 
little pay!” 
Chung seemed to take a great fancy to Daisy, 
and always called her "Lady.” He addressed 
Mr. and Mrs. Erman as "Bossy” and “Mud- 
dah.” "Mamina was disgusted at first,” ex¬ 
plained Violet, "when he commenced saying 
‘Good mawning, muadabl’ just like a darkey, 
for ail tue world 1 But now she would be just 
as much astonished it he said anything else.’’ 
1 laughed this morning till I almost cried, 
when you asked him w ho had taken the pony, 
aud he said ‘you bluddah.’ The letter l seems 
to be a great favorite with him. 
"Yes, he almost always uses it in place of r 
which he cannot sound,” answered Violet. "I 
remember 1 tried to teach him to say ‘Merry 
Christmas I’ and the nearest he came to it was 
‘Melly Tlichemas!’ He always brings mamma 
a jar of preserved ginger on Christmas, and 
last year he gave me a lot of Chinese nuts, 
the funniest things you ever suwl” 
Chung was a good faithful workman, and 
could be relied on to continue his labors witu- 
out constant oversight. Whatever orders Mr. 
Erman gave he executed without grumbling. 
He never was impertinent, as are so many of 
his class; and, notwithstanding he was em¬ 
ployed for out-of-door work if Mrs. Erman 
wanted him to scrub or clean he was always 
ready; though he often said he "no likee 
washee.” 
Chung w-as a perfect heathen. He was 
frequently invited to attend the little Alham¬ 
bra Church, but al ways shook his head with a 
laugh, " Melican mau go meetin,’ Chinaman 
no go. He go see oth’ Chinaman. Heap 
talkee.” 
"Yes, I suppose so,” laughed Violet. 
Chung's vocabulary was limited; so Daisy, 
who delighted to engage him in conversation, 
was obliged to learn pigeon English, which 
she soon mastered to her satisfaction. 
“ Where you go to-day, Chung? ” she asked 
one Sunday as he was starting on his usual 
walk. 
"Me go down Mission, get head shave,” he 
answered, pointing to the short, thick, black 
hair that covered the top of his head. 
"How often you get shave, Chung?” she 
asked. 
“ Oh, once two wik,” he replied; and when 
he returned in the evening, his brown head 
w-as bare and shining save at the back from 
whence depended his queue. This pig-tail of 
Chung’s caused Daisy much innocent specula¬ 
tion. She wondered how it could be so loug 
and yet no thicker, until Violet told her that 
the greater part of it was thread braided in 
with his hair. He seldom let it hang down, 
but twined it around bis head, or twisted it 
into a pug at the nape of his neck. Mr. Erman 
overheard a remark of Daisy’s in regard to 
the latter style of dressing his hair, and told 
Chung that she said he looked like a woman; 
at which he laughed heartily, and did not seem 
in the least offended. 
"Chung, you got wife in China?” asked 
Daisy one morning as she was picking straw¬ 
berries, while Chung hoed about the orange 
trees near by. 
“ Yes,” he said. That is, he meant yes, but 
he really gave a little indistinct murmur which 
was his favorite way of answeriug in the 
affirmative. 
" What’s her name ?” 
“ Her name Hoon Chung.” 
* ‘Hoon Chung. Heap good name,” remarked 
the strawberry-picker with intentional flat¬ 
tery, which caused "a smile that was child¬ 
like and bland” to beam over Chung’s slanting 
features. " Don’t you want see her ?” 
"Oh, I don’t know,” he remarked indiffer 
ently, which made Daisy laugh in her turn. 
“You bring her over here, Chung?” 
" No, no,” he said, shaking his head decid¬ 
edly. " Stay China. No come Melica.” 
"How soon you go back China ?” 
"Oh, by’m by. Me get five hun dollah. 
Heap money. Then go back China,” 
Chung was usually very truthful in his 
statements about his work. But when he 
wanted leave of absence for a day or two to 
go to Los Angeles be was always ready with 
plenty of excuses; his cousin was very sick, 
or his brother was just going to China, and he 
must see him before bis departure, aud so on. 
Mr. Erman once told him that if he wanted to 
have a spree to go on, but not to tell lies about 
it. But Chung protested with many a solemn 
gesture that his “ cousin heap sick—must go 
see him. 
A REMARKABLE STATEMENT. 
The Unusual Experience of a Prominent 
Man Made Public. 
The following article from the Democrat 
and Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y., is of so 
striking a nature, and emanates from so relia¬ 
ble a source, that it is herewith re published 
entire. In addition to the valuable matter it 
contains, it will be found exceedingly inter¬ 
esting. 
To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle: 
Sib;—M y motives for the publication of the 
most unusual statements which follow are, 
first, gratitude for the fact that I have been 
saved from a most horrible death, and, sec¬ 
ondly, a desire to warn all who have read this 
statement against some of the most deceptive 
influences by which they have ever been sur¬ 
rounded. It is a fact that to-day thousands 
of people are within a foot of the grave and 
they do not know it. To tell how I was caught 
away from just this position and to warn 
others against nearing it, are my objects in 
this communication. 
On the first day of June, 1SS1, I lay at my 
residence in this city surrounded by my 
friends and waiting for death. Heaven only 
knows the agony I then endured, for words 
can never describe it. And yet, if a few years 
previous, any one bad told me that I was to 
be brought so low, and by so terrible a dis¬ 
ease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had 
always been uncommonly strong and healthy, 
had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew 
in my own experience what pain or sickness 
were. Very many people who will read this 
statement realize at times that they are unusu¬ 
ally tired and cannot account for it. They 
feel dull and indefinite paius in various parts 
of the body, and do not understand it. Or 
they are exceedingly hungry one day and en¬ 
tirely without appetite the next. This was 
just the way I felt when the relentless malady 
which bad fastened itself upon me first began. 
Still I thought it was nothing; that probably 
I bad taken a cold which would soon pass 
away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and 
at times neuralgic, pain iu my head, but as it 
would come one day and be gone the next, I 
paid but little attention to it. However, my 
stomach was out of order, and my food often 
failed to digest, causing at times great incon¬ 
venience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physi¬ 
cian. that these things meant anything serious 
or that a monstrous disease was becoming 
fixed upon me. Candidly, I thought I was 
suffering from malaria, and so doctored my¬ 
self aocordiugly. But 1 got no better. I next 
noticed a peculiar color and odor about the 
fluids I was passing—also that there were 
large quantities one day and very little the 
next, aud that a persistent froth and scum 
appeared upon the surface, and a sediment 
settled in the bottom. And yet I did not real¬ 
ize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symp¬ 
toms continually, I finally became accustomed 
to them, and my suspicion was wholly dis¬ 
armed by the fact that I had no pain in the 
affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I 
should have been so blind I cannot under¬ 
stand. 
There is a terrible future for all physical 
neglect, and impending danger usually briugs 
a person to his senses even though it may theu 
be too late. I realized, at last, my critical 
condition and aroused myself to overcome it. 
And, Oh I how hard I tried I I consulted the 
best medical skill in the land. I visited all the 
prom nent mineral springs in America and 
traveled from Maine to California. Stiff I grew 
worse. No two physicians agreed as to my 
malady. One said I was troubled with spinal 
irritation; another, nervous prostration; 
another, malaria; another, dyspepsia; another, 
heart disease; another, general debility; 
another, congestion of the base of the brain; 
and so on through a long list uf common di¬ 
seases, the symptoms of all of which 1 really 
had. In this way several years passed, during 
all of which time I was steadily growing 
worse. My condition had really become piti¬ 
able. The slight symptoms I at first exper¬ 
ienced were developed into terrible and con¬ 
stant disorders—the little twigs of pain had 
grown to oaks of agony. My weight had been 
reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was 
atorture to myself and friends. Icouldretain 
no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by 
injections. I was a living mass of pain. My 
pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I 
frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively 
clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. 
Morphine had little or no effect in deadening 
the pain. For six days and nights I had the 
death premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My 
urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. 
I was struggling with Bright’s Disease of the 
Kidneys iu its last stages. 
While suffering thus I received a call from 
my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote, rector of St. 
Paul's Church, of this city. I felt that it was 
our last interview, but in the course of con¬ 
versation he mentioned a remedy of which 1 
had heard much but had never used. Dr. 
Foote detailed to me the many remarkable 
cures which had come under his observation, 
by means of this remedy, and urged me to try 
it. As a practicing physician and a graduate 
of the schools, I cherished the prejudice both 
natural aud common with all regular prac¬ 
titioners, and derided the idea of any medi¬ 
cine outside the regular channels being the 
least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was 
Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I would 
waive my prejudice aud try the remedy he 
so highly recommended. I began its use on 
the first day of June and took it according 
to directions. At first it sickened me; but 
this I thought was a good sign for one in my 
debilitated condition. I continued to take it; 
the sickening sensation departed and I was 
able to retain food upon my stomach. In a 
few days I noticed a decided change for the 
better as also did my wife and friends. My 
hiccoughs ceased and I experienced loss pain 
than formerly. 1 was so rejoiced at this im¬ 
proved condition that, upon what I had be¬ 
lieved but a few days before was my dying 
bed, 1 vowed, in the presence of my family 
and friends, should I recover I would both 
publicly and privately make known this rem¬ 
edy for the good of humanity, wherever and 
whenever I had an opportunity. 1 also deter¬ 
mined that I would give a course of lectures 
in the Corinthian Academy of Music of this 
city, stating in full the symptoms and almost 
hopelessness of my disease and the remark¬ 
able means by which I have been saved. My 
improvement was constant from that time, 
aud in less than three months I had gained 26 
pounds in flesh, became entirely free from 
pain and I believe I owe my life and present 
condition wholly to Warner’s Safe Kidney 
and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. 
Sluce my recovery I have thoroughly re¬ 
investigated the subject of kiduey difficulties 
aud Bright’s disease, and the truths developed 
are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, 
and as a physician, that I believe mohk than 
ONE-HALF TUE DEATHS WHICH OCCUR IN 
America are caused by Bright’s Disease 
of the Kidneys. This may sound like a rash 
statement, but 1 am prepared to fully verify 
it. Bright’s Disease has no distinctive sympt¬ 
oms of its own, (indeed, it often develops 
without any pain whatever in the kidneys or 
their vicinity.) but has the symptoms of nearly 
every other known complaint. Hundreds of 
people die daily, whose burials are authorized 
by a physician's certificate of "IL art Disease," 
"Apoplexy,” "Paralysis,” "Spinal Com¬ 
plaint,” "Rheumatism,” “Pneumonia,” and 
other common complaints, when in reality it 
was Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys. Few 
physicians, and fewer people, realize the ex¬ 
tent of this disease or it6 dangerous and insid¬ 
ious nature. It steals into the syBtem like a 
thief, manifest its preseuce by the commonest 
symptoms, aud fusteus itself upon the consti¬ 
tution before the victim is aware. It is nearly 
as hereditary ns consumption, quite as com¬ 
mon and fully as fatal. Entire families, in¬ 
heriting it from their ancestors, have died, 
and yet none of the number knew or realized 
the mysterious power which was removing 
them. Instead of common symptoms it often 
shows none whatever, but brings death sud¬ 
denly, aud as such is usually supposed to bo 
heart disease. As one who has suffered, and 
knows by bitter experience what he says, I 
implore every one who reads tnose words not 
to neglect the slightest symptoms of Kidney 
difficulty. Certain agony and possible death 
will be the sure result of such neglect, and no 
one cau afford to hazard such chances. 
I am aware that such an unqualified state¬ 
ment. as this coming from me, known as 1 am 
throughout the entire land as a practitioner 
and lecturer, will arouse the sut prise and 
possible animosity of the medical pi o Cession 
and astonish all with whom I am acquainted, 
but i make the foregoing statements bused 
upon facts which I urn prepared to produce 
and truths which I can substantiate to the 
letter. The \v elfare of those who may possibly 
be sufferers such as I was, is au ample induce¬ 
ment for me to take the step 1 have, and if I 
can successfully warn others from the danger¬ 
ous path in which 1 once walked. Iam willing 
to endure all professional and personal conse¬ 
quences. J. B HEtflON, M. D.
