Neuralgia, Rheumatism and Gout.
The Household.

Neuralgia simply means nerve pain.
If the pain proceeds from the hip or
sciatic nerve, 1t is called sciatica. Not
that the pain must necessarily be in the
hip. The nerve begins there and ex
tends down to the feet, and the pain may
be anywhere on the way. II the pain ia
10 the face it is called tic doloreux, or
face ache; II IN one side Of the head,
hemicranta, etc. 1t would seem as il
neuralgia must be disease peculiar to
modern times, as it is not mentioned at
all In some ancient medical works, but
we fiud come of its forms under the
heads rheumatism and gout. Doubtless
there are In these diseases points OF re-
semblance, one OF which is that they are
all very painful. Rheumatism is char
scterzed by pain in the larger joints, or
In the muscles. In acute rheumatism
there is fever and swelling OF the parts
effected. In chronic rheumatism there
is no fever or swelling, simply pain, and
is often very severe indeed, almost as
bad as the pain OF toothache. sciatica or
gout. A FreDchman says: "Place your
Joint in q vice, turn the screw until you
can bear it no longer; that gives you an
idea of rheumatism; now give the in
strument one more turn and you have
gout."
Gout is prevalent among those who
eat and drink too much and work too
little, rheumatism among those who eat
too little and work too much. DR.. War
rem says: "Gout is rheumalism's cousin !;
the pareLtage OF both belongs TO the
brotherhood of acids A very acid state
of the blood, or state favorable to the
formation of acid, is supposed 10 be the
cause of the inflammation peculiar to
both these disorders In rheumatism an
acid which exists In sour milk and in
cider, called Tactic acid, is thonght to he
the disturbing element" The acid in
cider is generally supposed TO be mailic
acid, or the acid found in apples I'm

M. Payne Not Responsible For It.

To the Editor of the News Journal:
Mr. Payne, in his address st the recent
banquet in Columbus speaking OF the
tariff says: "One year ago ventured to
make public some opinions 10 regard to
the tariff, recogniz ne the divergence Of
views in the Democratic party and de-
claring that such divergence was the
chief obstacle TO the success Of the par
". At the State Convention in June
those opinions were considered, con-
densed and cryslslzed into what has
since become well known as the Ohio
Platform"
The views expressed by Mr.. Payne in
bis Cleveland speech year ago may be
in harmony with the platform adopted
at the last Democratic State Convention
in Ohio, but Mr.. Payne is mistaken in
his eupposition that his speech is the
foundation Of that platform 1t can
safely be said that the platform was
drafted without any knowledge that such
. speech as he refers to had ever been
made. II is due also to previous Com
mittees on Resolutions at oar State Con.
yentions to say that the central idea In
the last platform-namely, 9 tariff so
levied as to favor home industries, but
not TO create monopnlies-will he found
in The platforms of 1881 and 1882.
A. j. WARNER.
House of Representatives, Washington,
January 10, 1894
General WARNER was member OF
the Committee on Resolutions in 1881,
1882 and 1888, and drafted the tariff res
olution himself that was adopted last
year. His modesty prevented him from
stating In plain terms the latter fact. But
it is evident thai Mr.. PAYNE and his
hackers are not troubled with modesty
in any degree for they do not hesitate to
clam. the credit Of the authorship in the
fsee OF direct and unimpeachable evil
dence to the contrary.

The CHOLERA is steadily advancing in

THE CHOLERA is steadily advancing in
Europe, and the hope Of keeping it from
spreading is abandoned. The whole world
should look to its local sanitary condition.
1t is never too early to clean. Eternal
vigilance as to refuse matter, cellars, wells,
bitches and drains is the price of purity,
comfort and health. The almost impos-
sibility of having all who use them neat,
and particular in the management Of waste
pipes leading into kitchen sinks and bath
rooms, has made many house-holders
think it best to take them out entirely, and
there is no doubt of the advantage in point
of safety to the health Of the house. The
thoughtless and easy way of disposing of
house.slops through drain, without refer
ence to their greasiness or clogging quail
ties, makes the waste-pipe hoarder of
disease and unwholesomeness. Vines,
shrubs and the fruit and vegetable garden
need just what the house can spare in
suds, dish-water, Sc, and it is better to
enrich the garden, and impoverish the
drain and avoid the unhealthy odors.

Well, the Democratic convention is
at last over, and it has ended with a
hurrah. This (Friday) evening the
city is perfect babel Of sounds. The
delegates who have stood for Cleveland
from the first are celebrating their
victory, and those who have been wors-
ted in the encounter are consoling
themselves by getting full, and raising
Cain generally.
Tammany has taken Its defeat with a
wry face, and some of its members
swear by all that is great and good that
they will never-not even hardly ever
help one iota toward the election of
either Cleveland or Hendricks.

SUNDAY the steamer State Of Maine when
going at full speed off New Brunswick in
dense fog, struck a rock, and though her
passengers, luggage and furniture were
taken off, the steamer will prove total
loss. The officers thought they were
keeping out of the track ofthe reefs. A
similar accident occurred to a steamer on
the gulf coast the same day, with precisely
the same consequences and a steamer on
the Mississippi, with between four and
five hundred excursionists returning home
to St. Louis in the evening ran into the
Central City bound for Memphis, when in
the neighborhood of Horseshoe Bend,
striking the latter amidships, and cutting
her down so that she soon sank, though
her crew and passengers were saved The
latter had not shown proper lights, and
the night was dark and storm was raging
so that her whistle was not heard. -

The mania tor speculation and dishon.
esty to which it tempts, is illustrated in
the dissipation by son of the comfortable
fortune left by her husband to Mrs. Har-
rieth Crowl, of Cleveland, mother of J..
Fl. Crowl, who formerly lived in yelling
ton. AS parents are apt to do, Mrs. Crowl
allowed her son Edward to have some sort
of charge Of his fathers estate, and he
abused that trust by speculating with
money belonging to it, and drawing upon
her bank account until $115,50O had been
used, of which his mother had no knowl.
edge until the 18th, ult. Writs of attach
ment were issued and four fiEe houses in
Clinton street, the houses of the Crowl
family, and large amount Of real estate,
was seized by the sheriff to satisfy Edward
Crowds creditors. Mrs. Harriet Crowl
showed to the satisfaction Of the court that
she owned this property, and was not re-
sponsible for the debts OF her son, and the
attachments were dismissed. Through
her attorney, Mrs. Crowl has sued the
brokers in whose Offices Edward lost her
money in stock speculations. She says
that the defendents well knew that her
son was using money that did not belong
TO him, and charges them with deliberate
ly engaging in the unlawful business of
"buying and selling options, making bets,
wages, and other gambling schemes re-
specting the rise and fall of the price of
grain, provisions oil, stocks and other ar
ticles." Many beside the victims are
anxious that the law may be able to back
up and punish this kind of dishonest
making haste to be rich.
