want of sufficient care in the matter of
diet, the whole physical mechanism
often becomes impaired during the

tenn, excite the liver to action, and re.
store the healthy vigor and action.

The Finger of Destiny.
OTTAWA Ill.l Glohe.

The history of the growth of Devils
Lake city, situated in that famous
country known as the Devils Lake re-
gion, is truly wonderful. Although its
history dates back only little over
two years, still it has all of the advant-
ages of many of the older cities in this
country. 1t is surrounded by country
as fertil and productive as that to be
found in any part Of the Union, and to-
day offers inducements for the invest
ment Of capital, with prospects of large
returns, enjoyed by but few localities
on the American continent. We do
not form this opinion from reading cir
culars and newspapers gotten up in the
interest of the great Manitoba railroad
company and capitalists who have in.
vested money there, but from converse
tions had with men of character and re-
liability who have visited that country
and who are thoroughly posted as to its
resources and desirability. Among
others who have visited that region and
who are now located there, is Mr.. John
Barton, brother of Patrick Barton, ex-
supervisor of the town of Eagle. On
Monday last Mr.. Barton called at the
Globe office, and from him we gained
much valuable information in relation
to that country. He resides in Ramsey
county, near Devils Lake city, the me-
tropolls Of the county. He is delighted
with the country, and from his discrip-
ton OF 1t we are not surprised that he is
pleased with the locality. The CITY of
Devils Lake is situated on the north
east shore Of the lake of the same name.
Ramsey county, Northern Dakota,
about 400 miles northwest of St. Paul,
and in our opinion is destined to be the |
great city of the far Northwest. Wei
hope to be able to visit this wonderful
city next summer. Any information in
relation to this remarkable country will |
be readily given by Mr.. Barton who is |
visiting his brother at Munster, near
StreatOr.
Ottawa FREQ Trader.
Mr.. Barton is dangerous man for
La Sale county to have about for he !
paints the beauties of the country, its
fertility, its rapid improvement, it's par
ndislcal delights for the land and game
hunter with rare skill, and We verify
believe If he remained here month or
two he'd carry half of Eagle back over
the Manitoba road with him.

Catholic Church Burned. The mag

on F and Sixth streets, South Washington,
was stripped on Thursday of last week of

flames had been eating their way between

they were discovered by Waterman Nc

Father Horgan, pastor Of the church, as

which stood respectively on the affairs at the

A Prevalent Disease.

| Editor Sentinel II would crave space in
| your valuable journal for the purpose ol
making clear O subject which is of interest
TO many In our county at this present time.
| Many localities, and l doubt il any are ex.
empt, are ct present infested by certain
| epidemic, about which there seems TO be
much misunderstanding in regard to the
name and nature OF this disease among the
people and also even among some Of the
medical profession. | refer to the eruptive
exanthemeta, the so-called French Meales,
Roseola, Mild Scarlatina, &c. 1t is the
Rotheln, first described by the German
authors, having been known in this coun-
try but a few years. The first published nc.
count Of this disease was from the pen of
DIR. j. Lewis Smith, of New York, in 1874,
and the first epidemic known in this coun-
try occurring in New York City just pre-.
vious. Before this, however, cases had been
described by Romans, ST., of Boston, 1876,
and in 1858 and 1871 by Getting Rotheln
Is specific disease, having no relationship
whatever to Measles, Scarlatina or Roseola,
with which 1t is much COMPOUNDED. Rotheln
is disease of childhood principally, though
exceptions sometime occur in which adaults
are attacked. II being sef-protective in
fictitious disease, causing some mild catarrhal
symptoms and producing but slight disturb
ance of the general system, says DIR. w. A.
Hardaway in american System Of Medicine,
coming on after period of between ten
to thirty days without any prodromic symp
toms in most cases. The first notice of the
disease Is the eruption, which occurs first on
the face, then on the body and later on the
extremities, there being no time when it is
simultaneous over the whole body. In this,
says DR.. Hardaway, it differs from measles.
The eruption is roundish punctate malcules,
usually continuing about four days, some
times more and again in some cases less
time. The color Is paler rosy red, less
purple than in measles and not so lvid as in
scarlatina. Measles IL essentially febrile
disease, having peculiar type Of fever
Rotheln may run its whole course without
any noticeable rise Of temperature. The in.
cubative period of scarlet fever is much
shorter than In Ro;heln. The symptomatic
eruption Of the skin described by William,
which goes by the name of koseola. bears no
resemblance to Rotheln, the rash being quite
different in character. An attack of measles
does not prevent an occurrence of Rotheln,
nor does kothcln protect an individual from
an attack Of measles, since one disease has
followed the other in many cases during
epidcmics, proving that ttotheln is not
modified case OF measles DR.. J Lewis
Smith says OF lorty.eighty cases observed by
him, nineteen at least had had measles, and
one who took Rotheln took measles a month
later. The prognosis of an uncomplcated
case Of ltotheln ia good. Weak, delicate |
children require special care. Simple cases
of Rotheln require no treatment, save merely
to be protected from any imprudence.
