No one knew who he was, or where he went atter the sale. He and the stone simply disappered. “T was and probably still ain dis } | | owner of the other madstone,’’ con= tinued Mr. Fitzwilson. “It was found about twenty years ago, in an \« Indian mound, in Clarksville, Meck- | Jenburg county, Va., by a Mr. Morse. He gave it me after the war | and it has been in my possession yince then. When this epidemic of | rabi’s broke out in New Jersey I looked for it, but it, too, had disap- peared.

It has puzzled geolo gists wonderfully,for they cannot tell what hind ot stone it 1s, geologically speaking. When a person 1s bitten by a mad dog the stone is pressed against the wound. In half a min- vte it will begin to turn green, and will adhere to the flesh as if it was a piece of sticking plaster. As it ab gorbs the poison it grows more green until it isthe color of an oak leaf. Phen it talls off, and after being washed in terpid water and cleansed of the green fluid can be used again and again until it retuses to absorb | any more poison.’”’ i “J have seen it used on a negro’s arm that had been bitien by a mocca sinsuske, which is about as venomous as a rattlesnake. Nearly an had elapsed between the time he was Bitten and the application of th madstone, and his hand, arm an shoulder were frightfully swollen In another half hour he would have been dead. ld hke a leech hour The madstone took h 1 and fille times of the spoken of. greenish fuic Ww absorption was ¢ g on you ¢ see the swelling decrease minut til, when the madstone w no more and remained pe black when apphed. the man’s Was its natural size again.’ “A madstone is a wonderiu * concluded Mr. Fitzwilson ye heard of the Indians in the mountains of North Carolin one some years ago, but no white man I shall make every effort to learn where mine if T can find it I shall send it to Newark, where its) marvelous pewers can be demonstrated satistact.on of all.’* a having ever saw it. s, and rectly t to Railroad Man's V Hicksor sill ent peeparations ysicia led Red S j mailed, Congre-s ig 4 3 gurn ast Mond t reported back.
