10 TIIE MEMPillS APPEAL: SUNDAY, MAY 2G, 1889. FERTILE TENNESSEE. FAIR LAND OF PROMISE FROM MEMPHIS TO KKNTOCKT. What the LoulavlU & Nahvlll Rail road H Don Toward Aiding th Growth and Prosporlty of It Portion Of West Tennos. 'Ti. ro evr-r biuret far R ny." It is always In somo othor tliatrict or county that thins aro bettor or worse, or, at nny ruin. difforent from what they aro with us. Tho Analo-Saxon Is a rambliiiR raco and is always Boine somewhere, nnd souu'times, npia'rontly, ho ubos vory little Rood senso in selecting a place to go from or to. Why anyono should chooso to cmijrrnto to too wind-tossed, snow-drapod, fWca plains of Inkota lion he could como to tho love ly climato nnd rich luuds of West Tonnes. o is an unsolvod problem, unless ho It carried away by tho rouianco contained In a letter of tlio onoo famous Mrs. Swishelm ronreniina tho lands for sale by tho ISorth em Tacilic Koad. wherein she says: "You can, for ten months of the year, dig through six feet of snow and find luclou riito strawberries." Why anyono who liv.Hi in West Tennessee should wish to leave it for the Norther wauled plain of Texsa. or the swamps of Arkansu. is still a mystery. When ouo cau live in West Teiineiuoo with its grand old forests, lovely farming lands, fertilo soil, puro water, varied products, ciiahlo climate, old settled country, with schools, churches and inx iety Oxel by tho crystal! alion of a tviitiirv. what could indoro bim to live lima pIho unless it were utter lirno ranee of what he was losiiiK? Veiy httlo lum HHn taken bv those who nro l.itMri.HiKil iii htiililinir ill) tliis fiiirest see Hon of all our fair land, to show to others what were the aclvaiilMLisot tins lavnrmi region. While the Illinois Central Kuil road has tilled the Norlhwest with lenllets, l,i!d-is and all sorts of teiunliiiu nnd won ilerfully seductive literature, while it has brought excursion after excursion at the IowikI iosililo rates from the Mates of tho Northwest and ha filled the travelers with the tx'UUly and cheapness of the I unl slung tho line of that mad, and has brought thousands of well-to-do Settlers to Improve the laud along the lino an I a. Id iiumeu-x'iy to the freixlil receipt of the road, tho liOiiiovillu A NiiKliMlle, with iiilluitely bet ter to oiler, has done nothing. I once asked a prominent olliciiil of the Ixmisville Naslivilla logivemo aoiuo tMH ms for mi ariii-lo on the line of his road, and lie said: "We have nothing worth writitu; about nntil we reach the Alabaiini in. n and coal holds," and 1 bad como to snipo that he was correct; but a recent rule over the Memphis division from Memphis to (iiithrio showed mo how lit t lu lie was aeiuniiited with the country through whirli that portion of his lino run. Supt. O. M. Putin had often told loo of the rapacity nnd capabilities of that country, but I thought It merely the opinion of hs-al aud divinion pride. I Marled out a doubter and ramu back a thorough convert. 1 cannot attempt to dew-nlio the lino in detail or stsiion by station, but only to give here and there a lew Riilienl lKiiuts. Tho rouutry between Memphis and tho Kentucky lino is rompsialively but sparmdy settled, it would be groatlr im proved if the HipulutioU wero trebled, there is abundant support for four times the population along tho road, and the rvliitiva vsluu o( the land would Ixi corns sixiiidumlv Increased. Tho tasl three vears have seen vert Rival adviineviiieut and 'improvement iu Ilia development of this region, but I was greaJy surpriMd to liud bow much there was to see; Low groat results, even with tho limited means at their drsptwnl, bad liecn produced by Mr. lnnn and Invision Freixlil Aiteut Van deliberg by their energy and fiotli in the future of the country.

Ogle and Mr. t.; II Udoiolit, Willi the foresight and ireiierosi All parenta who love their children and what pareut docs not love his cuil dr.en? will be especially interested in reading what Ir. Ilartman has to say on tho subject of diseases that aro particularly provalent during the summer season and with whicli children aro tho greatest suf ferers and ol which they are tho common est vittima. As all recognise the fact that anything Dr. llartmnn has to say on a subject of this kind Is rendered exception ally valuable by Ids lung and pre-oiiii-nently euccesaful experience ob a physician and surgeon, and ia, consequently, worth far more than ordinary attention, it seems quite unnecessary to take any particular pains to suggeat that our rettdersgive what follows a liioet careful perusal. "Yes," said Dr. Hartmau a short time since, "this hot season is a very dangeroiw ono for children. It is dangerous euough for all, old aa well as young; but It Is es pecially diiniroroiis for children. There is a certain clans of diseases for whose de velopment hot weathcrjis very favorable.. Thev are not only exceedingly paiuftil, but vorv dantrcrous. When they aviso hold of the tender organiuitiona ol chil dren they are very apt to be fatal unless promptly treated by tho right remedy. There are live ol theso diseases, each one of which deserves a littlo speciul men lion. "First, there is what is known as colic or cranio, This is a violent seizure of tho stomach or bowels, or both, that causes the victim a pain that is often intense. It Is often causud by indigestion, especially flatulent colic, in which tho uhdomen swells up, the intestines are spasmodically distended, and there is often vomiting. Nausea ia tho chief feature of bilious colic, with almost constant vomiting. Tho pain is often long-continued and great. It is liable to ruu into Jaundice. Then there ia tlie spasmodic colic This is not only often characterized bv a limn that is ago nuinir in its severity, but it frequently leaves tho system in a most exhausted and weakened condition. I-nstly, there is lend colic, or, ss it is properly known, painters colic. This is. of course, not so common. but it is often very painful. In colic of whatever kind constipation is character istic uud generally obstinate. It is plainly a disorder that is to bo avoided iy ail means and to be cured as promptly as pos killlu. "K-condlv. comes Cholera Morbus. All know what Cholera Morbus is, and all fear it, as well they may. It d'ssn't take uno ong to rccoizui.e ii when it once makes its iipieaiatice. What with its alul vomit ing, i'.s terriblo purging, its intense pain, its severe cranqis, its dreadful chills, aud tho great debility that it induces ami grave danger that it tlires'.ens, Cholera Morbus is known and dreaded tho woild over. A further description of its symptoms or fur ther mention of itsdsuger, aud any sieciul warning to be ever on purd agniuat it, and to treat it quickly and properly w hen it comes, is quite needh-ss. "Tlio same may lie said ol Cholera In fantum, whose symptoms aro largely tho name, but whoso special victims are the little children w hoso lives aro so precious lo fathers snd mothers What aw fill havoc this terrible disease has wrought in thous ands ol bouseholiU throughout the coun try! What torture of body, what anguish of mind, what tending of tender heart strings, what jritf. what despair, what desolation! It is fearful to contemplate. Well limy tho faces of fond parents blanch at the thought of it! Long ami tearfully have tury prayed for the discov ery of something Unit would save tho lives of'thM) of their darlings whom the ravages of this diseaso have not yet reached; sumo remedy in which they could have conll- dence and on which they could roly; some thing Hist could prevent the cruel desola tion of their beloved tlresides. Happily that something lis Irf-en lound. It has la-en tried, and not found wanting. For vears 1 invsclf have used it wilh wonder hil aiifccsN. and to iho exclusion of all oilier remedies. ThollsailiU of fathers and mothers bavn thanked mo with tears iu their eyes and itnsH-ukablo gratitude in their henrts lor saving their children to bless their homes and keep thuiu hap py. And It Is all due to this remedy I have referred to. and which is none other to oi i'o ru n, the famous and ttncqiialcd cure for Cholera Infaiiium, Cholei a Mor bus, Colic or Cramp, si.d also lor tho other two disease belonging to this class und which need no detailed mention Diarrhn-a. acute and chronic, and Dysen tery, bolti of them requiring Particular trcio incut and involving most tlangeruus coiiseouence. "Fur all these no remedy lias rver becu discovered, romMiundod or Sold, that equals l'e-ru-ns in promptness of action or cerluinty of euro. It is Iho only remedy that baa succeeded in putting a check ii i sui tho terrible mortality among children at tin critical season of tho year. It is a startling but nevertheless verified truth that 7 j Mr cent, ol the deaths that occur during tho summer aro caused by the dis orders stxivo mentioned.
