As a physician wbo bas wads a specialty of bygieas, sholsra has Interested me very aaeb. and I visited Paris la 1667. Munich in 1 S73 snd Saplss la 1584 to take advantage of the cholera epidemics in tboss cities during those yssrs aud to study ths disease, lu effects and remedies. After the spidemls la Bavaria, ths Bavarian government, with tbs ssreful snd strict manner summon ts and only possibls la German governments, published stalls- lies la reference to ths cholera and lu ravages during ths epidemic ef 1 b73. It resulted from these ststistles thst of all choleraic patients whs were treated by nonMeo-patbls phyalelans 50 per erot dlrd.

sf all treated by ailopatnle physicians 50 percent died, of all treated by ao physicians 50 per cent died. Ss physicians, whether homojo-pathls or allopathic, calisd these figures la questisa. Tbs government of Bavaria challenged criticism, and tbese figures provs to-dsy wbat tbey proved thsa, that thsrs Is no known remedy to cholera. Ths disciples sf Hahnemann are mors numsrsus la Germany tban In Naples, and Hahesmacn's camphor treatment had a fair trial la Bavaria in 1S73. with tbs rs-suit of 50 per cent death rats.

Dr. Ciglisno elsims a 5 lo 8 per cent death rale for ths ss-ne treatment la Saplee la 18S4. Unfortunately the Uailaa government did not furnish tbe full statistics given by the Bavarian government, and we have in tbs ons saas government or non-partisan fig- ares against Cigliano or psrttaan figures. Munich is very elean, but ths water supply Is deficient; Ssjrlss Is very dirty, sad tbs water supply is defiolent or wss la 13-34. This excess of Seapoiltan over Munich dirt accounts for tbs small sxeess of death rata, over 50 per sent.

In Saplee. To pbysislsns especially Interested In hygiene tbe epidemic In Saplss only confirms tbe Bsvsrlsn ststistles that ons half of all Aslatie cholera patients die. I. In common with all other hygienic students, challenge Dr. Ciglisno to produce government or nou-ysjrtisan ststis tles to prove tue contrary.

After every cholera epidemic men of tbs Clgllans stamp somo to ths front with rs-niarkabls theories, remedies or statements. Munich was not exempt from tbls Infliction after 1S73. A certain pbysisiaa in Muaieb claimed that be bad a certain for chol era wbleh bad never been know a to fait His theory and remedy wereelmply tbeset As tus sholers patient loses an soormwus qusotity of water, during the attaek tboss patienu die wboss blood becomes insufficient la quantity or too solid for a proper circulation, aad to remedy this it was only necessary to open a veto and Inject every bour Hood-warm water into tbs pstient to supply tbe detloieooy caused by ths disease. Against this simple remedy the physicians of Munich objected that it Is very difficult to Inject water Into veins Without allowlug a drop of air to enter, whiel causes Inataut death, and bia remedy had never failed be cause the originator of this theory and remedy was unable to produce a single pallenl on whom hs bsd sver tried It, From ths fast that ths Southern Journal of Jlomiropalktf quotes Dr. Cl-'llsno's re.

marxable statements. It must give credit to tbe fart that at any rats Drs. Cigliano, Ku-bloi. Mueeu and Onull were honeat In making these statements, and did not wish to perpetrate a stupendous and ghastly Joke at the expense of believers In homoeopathy. Alongside of Dr.

Cigllaoo's hooeslly-be- lieved-ln remedy, allow ms to publish soother remedy, which was honestly believed in by two-thirds of tbe Neapolitans, and was confided to ms by oue of them duriug ths epidemic I bavs lived In or nesr Naples during ths last ten years, and bave kept a sailboat dur iug that time for excursions on ths bsy. My sailor la named Gennaro Exposlto, sad la far sapoiior to the turn ef his elasa la mind and education. When a hundred and fifty cholera patlente were dying dally Gen naro held forth la this wlss during a sail with rue. "These miserable doctors appointed by the government are searing tbe people todeatb by going to every bouse and ordering tbe people to do this or clean np tbat. They have reduced us poor people te starvatioo by scaring away snips and strangers, aud now tbey want lo I rub ten us to death.

After we bavs prsyrd to bim and bavs carried him In pro-erasion and he wou't listen to ns we pUub blm into the dirty water at Santa Lucia, aod that brings bim to reason." Ia saying all this Gennare was thoroughly In earnest, and bia largs. black eyes were Oiled witu paia at tbs stupidity ot government otlirtais like Minister Depretls snd ths Prefect of Naples. Ths advantags of Gennaro's theory and remedy over Dr. CI llano's Is tbat two-thirds of tbe Neapolltaua fully believe It and every one knows tbs necessity for confidence In a remedy. Tbst tbs Prims Minister of Italy and the Prereet of Sapiee did not adopt either Gennaro's or Dr.

Clgllano's rraiedy Is a proof tbat they thought as much ot ths ons as tbs other. Homcropstby bas dons tbls grest service to medicine snd humanity; it has put an snd ts tbs Leroie dosing so prevalent among allopathic doctora of thirty yea-a ago. uture research will certainly utilize tbe diacovsry of tbe cholera bacillua by Dr. Koch or wl 1 lead to somebygleale, palliative or radical remedy. Medicine Is striving by research and experiment to fiee itself front empiricism SLd to become a science.

It was during one of these attacks that a little Incident oe curred which will probably be of Interest, and which, when I remember, does much to palliate tbe crimes for wbich Jesse James do doubt had to suffer a full sliare of pain.

Tbe brown leaves were whirling in fitful eddies through the sombre woods, and tbe winds alngiiijr mourn ful dirges around tbe house. "Ob.

Oh.yrsr' I ana wered "let us go to our favorite sest by the "old elm tree." It is cold," alis said; "but ws can wrap op in our big shawls. Lere is Jesse I asked.

I said, "If Jesse bas threatened anything of the kind, he will certainly try to aocomplish It." "I am certainly inclined to think so," shs said; "aud one thing which couflraie taj belief Is that when I told him It was too late to think of such a thing now, he pulled from bis pocket $11, and giving tiie money to tue, tiiid ms to keep it." "It is very unfortunate," I said. "Can't you ttll me bow to avert ltf I have been rclylug oa you all along to help ms out of my dilemma." "I will think about it," I replied; "you bave taken me so by surprise, I scarcely know bat to say." We sat and pondered la sllsnee under ths old elm tree then ws went borne in the au-tuuiu gloaming. Supper was ready when we arrived, and as we went in we saw Jesse sitting at bis ae-customed seat, laughing and talking as usual. After cupper, aa I had some riling to do.

I retirrd to room, and left Mary and Jesse standing in the moonlight on the little vine-clad portico. About 11 g'cWk I was eouiewiiat startled by Mary's eaiung at my bedside: "Jennie," she said, "I believe Jesse Is dying. Get up quickly and come wltii me." I arose, and dressing myarlf hurriedly. I accompanied her. The doctor bad alrsady been summoned, and was standing thoutht- iully over the stiff form, from which all lite seemed to bave emanated.

The doctor said he bad taken an overdone of morpbtue, and that be had made every eflurt to rouse blm without eflV-ct. "I think be will be dead by uiorulug," bs said, sadly. Frank James bad been with as for several days.

He was sitting oa one side of the bed aud Mary was sitting on tbe other, Weeping bitterly. "Let as make ons mors cflort to rouse bim," I said ca.mly.

By morning the old smile was on his Pps. and we laughed aiid taUed over the current events or tue neiKuooruood at if coining bad happened.

But I did kiss bim la less tbaa an hour's time; for be looked so sad when bs offered tt kiss me. tbat I eouid not refuse. I kuow you are shocked beyond measure, but It is nevertheless true, for I really thought I would neve' eee biia aetn, anl I was truly sorry te part with hiiu. If any one bad told me tbat be would be guilty of the crimes he afterward eomm.tted. I would bars bea ready to Amu I believe he plunged forta-witfl into crime, but I never heard a word of it.

About Ave yesrs sfterward I found myself in tbe little towa of Delhi. teaebing a private school. One evening I attended tbe village ehuroh. and taking one of ths front seals. I prepared to listen to tbo sermon.

During ths servioe I turned round, aod (and the eyes of Jeass James fastened upon my face. I was so thoroughly sur prised that I could scarcely believe my own ayes. Ha was silung by iUs.

if you will accept It." "Certainly." I said "with many thauks." Ha banded ms small package, but wbeo I reached forth to take It, he exacted a promise, not to look at it until after hs was gone. It was tbe last time I ever saw blm. Wben I went to my room, I looked at the little package, and wondered, aud wondered hat was la it. my woman's curiosity strongly tempting me to epea it, but I did not. Wben Jesse James was far away, I knew not wbere.

I opened It, There was a neat white box. and within soma bsnk notes. which, upou counting, I found to bs $50. My first impulse was to send It back, for somehow, although I had promised ts trust bim, the tuougbt seemed to bsunt me '-Touch it not. it is stolen money." but could not send it back, for I knew not wnltber be bad gone, so I kept It.

and among ether things, I bought a golden chain, which still wear In memory of my old friend Jesse, for I cannot always think of him as a murderer and robber, tho' as time wore oa and his erlmes became mors apparent, of course I lost my sweet faith in him. lis is dead now. the victim perhaps of bis wn desperate daring; dead, with a never dying stain ujou his once fair name!
