Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease : I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This ’Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares, to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it. “

E'rysi'pelas and Scrofula cured by P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, surely
and without fail.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN: Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly; and soon ex-
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp-
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree-
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom-
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly.
W. P. HUNTER.

P. P. P. cures all blood and skin dis-
ease, both in men and women.

Rheumatism, which makes man‘s life
a. hell upon earth, can be relieved at
once by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy. It makes a PERMANENT cure.

P. P. P. is the great and only remedy
for advanced cases of catarrh. Stop-

AMERICAN CAMELS.“

THE “SHIP OF THE DESERT " IM-
PORTED FROM ARABIA AND EGYPT.

 

An Experiment. which Proved of No Value
to the Government. The Animals at
Last Allowed to \Vander Over the
Prairies at Their Own Sweet \Vill.

In 1852, when millions of gold were
being mined in California, while thous-
ands of people were crossing the
plains to the new Dorado, and when
a transcontinental railroad was only
a vague dream of a few enthusiasts.
Lieutenant Edward B. Beale (after-
ward General Beale) was stationed at
Fort Yuma, between California and
Arizona on the Colorado Desert. A
stream of immigration and freight
passed that way every week. The dis-
ease, suffering and frequent death
among the horses and mules in that
dry, solar heat, convinced Lieutenant
Beale that here, of all places, was
where the camels of Sahara and Ara-
bia could be used to advantage. In
connection with Captain Adams. of
the garrison, he wrote at length upon
the subject to Jefferson Davis, Secre-

tary of War.

The ideas of the young military men
in the West had immediate and enthu-
siastic reception by the Secretary. A:
Commission was soon sent out from
San Antonio, Tex., to Arizona, to as-
certainthe uses that camels could be
put to in military transportation. The
Commission made a favorable report,
and, with Secretary Davis’s annual re-
port to Congress in 1852 there was a
request for an appropriation for the
purchase of camels for the War De-
partment.

On March 3, 1853, a bill appropriat-
ing $30,000 for the purpose became a
law by the President’s signature, and
Secretary Davis appointed Major C.
Wayne in December, 1854, to go to
Egypt and Arabia to buy seventy-five
camels.

Lieutenant Porter and Major Wayne
bought their first camels in Tunis.
From Egypt Major Wayne and Lieu-
tenant Porter went lieusurely over to
Arabia. There they bought more
camels of another breed. The expedi-
tion received at Smyrna thirty-three
camels from the interior.

In the Government book Secretary
Davis tells in detail how he instructed
Major Wayne to proceed from Paris
to Cairo, and when he had bought his
camels to bring them to New York on
the Naval Storeship Supply, then under
command of Lieutenant D. D. Porter.

Lieutenant Porter’s instructions
were to await Major Wayne at some
convenient point in the Mediterranean,
to disembark a land force at Beirout,
and to see that the expedition was
amply protected against attacks from
the warlike tribes of the interior. 0n
returning, the lieutenant was to land
his cargo at .some point on the coast
of Texas. '

The storeship Supply reached Indian-
013, Tex., on February 10, having lost
three camels on the voyage. Those
that survived were well, and the whole
drove was taken under the care of
Captain J. N. Palmer, U. S. A., to
Camp Verde, Texas, there to be kept
several years. The Suwanee brought
in a load of forty—one camels on Feb-
ruary 10, 1857, and these, too, were
sent to the interior.

Almost from the first there was dif-
ficulty in grooming and feeding the
animals. In a few weeks several
died of unknown diseases, and others
languished and became unfit for work.
The military officers found it hard to
get any hostler to attend to the cam-
els, towards which all the cavalrymen
and troopers took a violent dislike. The
horses became restive and ugly when
stabled or corralled with the strange
beasts. There were frequent reports
that a camel or two had broken away
during the night and wandered away;
and it has been suspected that extra-
ordinary zeal was not always put
forth to find the animals and bring
them back.

From May 5, 1861. some thirty of the
camels that had become partly do-
mesticated to American ways and
adapted to the climate of the South-
west, were kept at the United States
forts at El Paso and Bowie, Ariz.
They were fed and cared for at the ex-
pense of the War Department, but be-
cause the troopers and teamsters
could not be got use them in place of
horses or mules, and especially be-
cause of the clumsiness of the bar-
ness and the unusual labor in packing,
the animals were seldom used. In the
last year or two of their stay at the
garrison they were merely pensioners
upon Uncle Sam's bounty, and were
never brought into service. In 1861
the herd had increased to forty-four
head. Then the Cival War came on.
and in the stir of those days in every
fort in the South all attention was
turned to the great crisis. The forts
fell into disuse, and the beasts were
allowed to wander away at will. They
travelled in pairs, and sometimes in
bunches of four and six, across the
deserts and into the mountains. Some
lived for years in the Panhandle of
Texas, and in the Colorado River. In
some instances the camels multiplied,
but in twenty years most of them died
among the mountains or were killed
by the Indians.

At intervals in the last decade sol-
diers and cow-boys in New—Mexico and
Arizona have seen the strays. Reports
are that the animals have grown white
with age, are as wild as any mustang,
and have hard. bony hoofs, unlike the
pedal cushions of the well-kept camel,
and that their hide has assumed a
hard, leathery appearance. Itis likely
there are few left in America. They
have not been seen in the central part
of either New-Mexico or Arizona in
Several years—From the Land of Sun-
shine.
