AN EXPERIMENT. 
ALTCE U. DODGE. 
Emma Horton was one of the 200,000 New 
York working women, ami on the particular 
afternoon of which this is written she was a 
deeply discouraged one. As she paid her fare 
on the street ear site realized that her purse 
contained less than four dollars and out of 
that the rent of her room—always required in 
advance—would leave her just s:.'.f>K cents for 
food during the coming week. The hope she 
had cherished of a new pair of shoes to re¬ 
place the worn ones so poorly adapted for win¬ 
ter days now close at hand must be put aside. 
And the snow was beginning to fall—the tirst 
snow of the season. It was Saturday—tin* last 
ouc iu November. 
Lost in her Own anxious thoughts she had 
hardly noticed the stopping of the ear, blocked 
by som * obstruction ahead, until the voice of 
a passenger called her attention. 
"•1 wouldn't miss the tram for any money,” 
he said to a companion, "Mary would be ter¬ 
ribly disappointed not to have me get home 
this evening. I would not have left her had 
it not been actually necessary. She is worn 
out with the care of the children who have 
just been having whooping cough and we have 
no help iu the house either which makes it all 
the harder. v 
Looking at his watch his friend assured him 
that there was still ample time and most likely 
they wool 1 soou go ou again. Then he added: 
“Sq you hav© the same trouble in the country 
as to servants chat we do in the city. When 
we were boys at home 1 don’t remember any 
such difficulty.” 
"Indeed, 1 fear it is worse with us as the 
American girls will not work out any more, 
and the foreigners are mostly Catholics and 
will not go where they have no church. So 
if vve got one to come they are discon¬ 
tented and generally leave just as they begin 
to know the ways euougli to be of any use.” 
The car starting just here,no more conversa¬ 
tion whs audible. Aroused from her anxious 
thoughts she noticed the two men as they sat 
beside each other—evidently brothers—both 
well-to-do—but one from the country, proba¬ 
bly a farmer, as he was sun-burned and heal¬ 
thy iu appearance. The other with more styl¬ 
ish dress and the air of one used to city life. 
As her eyes fell to the Hour after glancing at 
the two she half unconsciously read the name 
on the tag attached to the satchel of the one 
she called a countryman, “A .S, B., River- 
port, N. Y,” Then the car stopped for their 
departure. Soou her destination was reached 
and leaving the car she turned into - 
Place, one of the old, short streets of the city, 
now mostly given over to boarding and lodg¬ 
ing houses, but very central aud convenient. 
Snipping only to purchase her small supplies 
from baker and grocer she went ou to her 
home—a decent house in a row. Up three 
rtigbts of stairs washer room—low and small 
and scant ily furnished. A tiny stove served 
to heat the room and to cook her food so far 
as it was cooked. Mostly she lived on bread 
and butier with cakes aud tea, aud for .Sunday 
a chop or steak as a special luxury. But she 
had the room alone and the house 
had many advantages. Here she had 
lived when her mother was with her. 
Then they were boarders and had a bet¬ 
ter room. When left alone she took the 
smaller one—up another llight of stall’s—for 
there were bills to pay, the doctor aud the 
funeral expenses. She had a woman's horror 
of debt, and taking small time to indulge in 
grief, she went back to her work in the fac¬ 
tory. By working steadily aud carefully she 
hoped to pay all within a few months;and lor 
awhile she got ou well and the bills were all 
paid. Mean while Bha spent little for clothing 
—taking with tender gratitude the garmeuts 
left by the beloved dead and fitting them to 
her own use in the evenings and occasional 
hours not employed at the factory. But 
prices began to fall and work was less con¬ 
stant, aud soon it took all sho could earn to 
pay the small sum asked for her board. Then 
rather than to leave the room she prepared 
her own meals aud so made the expense less. 
And so it had been for two months—the last 
summer the worst of all—and with no better 
prospect for the winter it is not strange she 
was anxious and had a weary look,out of keep¬ 
ing with her youth.

NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF 
PULMONARY EXPERTS. 
Cnn the Universal Consumption be SucoesH- 
fnilV Treated* 
Dr. Borg eon, a leading French doctor, has 
a new treatment for consumption! 
He gives an enema of carbolic acid aud sul¬ 
phuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carry¬ 
ing the former into every part of the throat 
and lungs. 
This treat meat, too, is directed at effect®—the 
cause remains undisturbed. * 
What this cause is has been stated by per¬ 
haps the highest pulmonary authority in the 
world, i. e., the Brompton Hospital for Con¬ 
sumptives, in London, Eng. 
This malady every year carries off from one- 
seventh to one-fifth of the entire population of 
England! 
Dr. Payne, M. D., M. R. C. P., London, is 
authority for this statement. 
The same or a greater proportion of deaths 
obtaius in America. 
Dr. Payne also says that, oue-lmlf the total 
number of deaths from all other causes have 
seeds of this disease in the system which only 
require some irritant to develop! 
Dr. Hermann Brohmer, an eminent German 
authority, says that consumption is caused by 
deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood. 
T&ese authorities cannot be disputed. The 
medical world recognizes them. The uric acid 
is the irritant in the blood that causes the de- 
velopeinent of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer 
says lie dormant m the blood. 
Every particle of blood which passes through 
the lungs aud heart, also goes through the kid¬ 
neys, aud if they are in the least deranged 
the) 7 cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. 
The thousand little liair-like sewer tubes of the 
kidneys very easily get blocked up and dis¬ 
eased; aud when they do, they corrupt instead 
of purifying the blood. Kidney disease may 
exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, be¬ 
cause it is deficient in nerves of sensation. 
Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon 
festers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned 
blood through t he lungs every second, and they 
soon give way. 
The Brompton Hospital investigation showed 
that 52 pel* cent, of the victims of consump¬ 
tion were afflicted with deranged kidneys 
which permitted the uric acid poison to re¬ 
main in the blood and irritate the lungs. This 
uric acid is always lighting every vital organ 
aud jf there be any inherent weakness in the 
lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough 
and consumption. 
The real cause of pulmonary troubles being 
.so authoritatively shown to be faulty even 
though unsuspected action of the kidneys, 
explains why, in order to master the dreaded 
consumption, one must rid the blood of the 
uric acid irritant which inflames and burns 
up the lung substance. For this purpose 
there is nothing equal to that great specific, 
Warner’s safe cure. This remedy has now 
the favor of medical men all over the world 
purely on its merits. We have no doubt that 
if the kidneys are kept in natural action, con¬ 
sumption and a great many other diseases, 
caused by uric-acid, will not only be cured 
but will be prevented. 
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen 
appears in the water, but albumen is found 
iu the water of more than half of those who 
die of consumption! 
This, then, is the condition of thiugs that 
always precedes consumption; First, weak¬ 
ened kidneys; second, retained uric acid, 
poisoning the blood; third the development 
of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids 
passing through them. Then there is a 
little cough in the morning; soon thick, 
yellow matter Is spit up, followed by 
loss of llesk aud strength, with dreadful 
night sweats; and when the patient goes 
to his school physician for help, he is jmt on 
cod liver oil which his stomach, weakened al¬ 
so by uric acid in the blood, cannot digest. 
Because there is uo pain present in the kidneys, 
the patient does not think they are affectod, 
but the kidney acid is doing its work every 
minute, every hour, day aud night, and hy- 
and-by the disease of the lungs has advanced 
until pus is developed, then come hemoi r- 
hages, and at last the glassy stare which de¬ 
notes that the eu<l is near! 
A post-mortem examination of such cases 
shows that the terrible uric acid has com¬ 
pletely destroyed the substance of the lung. 
It is impossible to cure lung disease when 
the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
