Rescue Home Opened,

(From

Correspondent.)

CANTON, May 23. Yosterday, at three pin, occurred the formal opening of the Honie for untainted children of loper parents.

For several years evangelistic work har been carried on by the Presbyterian. Mis- sion in the leper village situated about two miles outside the east gate of the city. Among the sufferers of the terrible scourge were several small children who seemed to be untainted, and the Rev. Andrew Beattie, Ph.D., who has had charge of the work, became deeply interested in the lives of the children and determined to attempt a rescue by segregation and creful over sight in a new building to be constructed for that purpose.

As the result of energetic work on the part of Dr Beattie sympathetic friends came to his help and funds were secured to orect a building which not only provides à comfortable home for 50 children but in clades provision for school instruction and industrial training. The building was for mally opened by U.S. Consul General Lay; who was greatly pleased to see the fine provision made for the mitigation of suffer ing that would otherwise have been the lot of these children. Already 10 children, without a taint of leprosy, have been given eleanly surroundings and nourishing food and there is every probability that they wil escape the horrible fate of Jepers. Scores of entointed children are still in the village and these will be received into the home as funds are provided.

He then said to the captain, As there are two berts vacant, ono on the south side of No. 1 wharf, and one on the north side of No 2 wo will go to either of them and I think the ship had better to put in stern first to the south side of No 1 wharf or bow first to the north sido of No 2,' While they were waiting the flag was hoist-0. ed on the south side of No 1 whatf and a

launch came from Cap'sin Unsworth, who was standing on No 1 wharf, to the ship, and the Chinaman in charge of it looked uj to the bridge and called out (as he thought) starboard side to the southside of the No 1 Wharf. Defend ant repeated this order to the Captain and the latter replied I think you have made a mistake, the launch-men sald port side to the wharf. He then asked again what side to the wharf and the Chinaman replied "port side'. He then conferred with the captain and they arranged that they should take a big sweep round to enable to then go port side to the wharf. The approached the wharf in the usual mannar and whén within about 200 feet of it Captain Unsworth called put come right up to the wharf." A line was then sent from the ship's bow to the end of wharf and Captain Unsworth gaveinstrito tions to come ahead and get the stern lino out na 50on as they could. The bow line was shifted up the wharf An the ship was braught abreast of her berth and about midway between the two wharves. Captain Unsworth called out two or three times hurry up' and got that stern line out quickly. Defendent repeated these orders to the Captain but the hands were very slow in getting the stern line out. Had it been or out quicker it would, in all probabilities, have saved the ship from striking the other wharf.

BARE FACED TRAUDS.

KANHAD CITY, April 11, The patrons of the American Mercantile ✅Company, a get-rich-quick concern in the Hall building, found the doors locked and the following notice pasted.

Good-by, you suckers, good.by.. The American Mercantile Company is said to have come here from St. Joseph, Missouri. It writo contracts with indivi- duals who obligated themselves to pay certain gums for eighty weeks, at the end of

which the individual was to receive his money back, with a very liberal rate of intorest. The company's first contracts are just beginning to mature and the patrons were demanding their money.

From the volume of the concoru's mail? It is estimated that the suckors' number ,000 or more. Inquiries have come recently from San Francisco and Los Angeles, indicating that the concern was operating as far west as the Coast. Two women who paid $2 weekly for eighty weeks were among those who called to get their money to-day. Manager Shipley has disappeared and the victims are unable to locate him.

ACCIDENTAL CURES FOR

CANCER.

LONDON, Mar. 30. Following the remarkablo chicer Toure through decoctions made from violet leaves, reported by an Exeter doctor in the Lancet, come details, given by a Malvery medical man, Dr. Francis William Joshua, of another case of apparent recovery from malignant disease of the month-in this case through boric seid mouth washos, and painting over the painful " parts with glycerine of cocaine, to relieve the pain.

The patient was a lady aged 93, "totally blind from cataract, and bedridden for.six years. After complaining of sore throat in Juné last, a small uloor appeared. on the side of the tongue. Dr Joshus and his tocum tenons diagnosed the growth to be

confirmed

malignant, and his opinion was by an eminent Birmingham surgeon. Taking into consideration the age of the patient, it was agreed that an operatio war inadvisable, and the only treatment adopted was that already mentioned. The growth gradually disappeared, and all the painful symptoms subsided, the tongue and throat being normal at the end of Decem- bersix months from the date when cancer was diagnosed. The patient subsequently died, but from other causes.

Unfortunately, Dr. Joshua was unable to have a portion of growth eubmitted to microscopical analysis, and he asks if it is diss possible that well-marked cancer may appears spontaneously in some cases, irrespective of so-called specific or other methods of treatment.

Dr Joshua, interviewed yesterday, said e did not wish to convey the impression that the treatment with boric acid mouth. washes and the painting of the painful pärtä with glycerine of cocaine had anything whatever to do with the care of the mali- quant growth, except in relieving the pain nd other symptoms. His purpose in writing to the Lancet about the ca e was to invite discussion and the publication of other onses. Ho had been 10 years in practice in Malvon, and had never known

or heard of a similar oase of spontaneous cure, irrespective of treatment. It would

be cruel to raise false hopes that the treat- ment referred to in his letter was a cure for

fancer.

"ALL OVER THE WORLD.”

OLD FOLDIZA, CORFD OF BEVERE IN- DIGESTION, TELLS WHY AND WHERE

HE RECOMMENDS MOTHER SOZL'S

SYRUP.

"I have since. then recommended Mother Seigel's Syrup to my friends all over the world, the Gold Coast especially."

This is the stalement of a vetern soldier of the British army, who was born in the West Indies, served in the Ashanti war and is still in the service," being employed by the Army Be.vice Corpe in the Military Stores at Port Elizabeth. He had suffered for years from indigestion in Jamein and has since felt its distressing pain and disablerenta in Africa. In all cares, on both sides of the world, he turn. ed for actual halp, for relief, to Molber Seigel's Syrap chiefly because his own molber had used it successfully with him and others of her children.

Mr Carter is a native of Kingston, Jamaica, Der which city his father carried on a larga plantation. He enlisted in the First West India Regiment and was promoted through various rankā, that of Quarter-Master Ser- geant, serving, in all, for 27 years. He loves Dow at 20, Frere Street, South End, Port Elizabeth. His experience has been so wide- spread and unique that what he says is of particular interost, so we give his letter, dated November 21, 1901, just as it was received: THE SOLDIER'S OWN BIDRY.
