II is well known that the inhabitants of many
Eastern nations shield themselves against in
fictitious disorders by wearing aromatic gums on
the pit of the stomach. Their instincts are
right, for strong permanent odors are antago-
nistic to the living germs which cause disease
For this reason Allcocks Porous Plasters, being
composed of fragrant aromatic gums are the
beat safeguard to the pit of the stomach

Is il Carelessness or Want of Knowl-
edge.

On July 9th, Mr.. Frank Brehm
had one bone of his left fore. arm
fractured, while at work on the c.,
H. V. & #. r.. w. near Gallipolis,
and within two hours after the ac-
cident was examined by DR.. Mills,
railway surgeon at Gallipolis, and
was informed that no bones were
fractured. DR.. Mills bound up the
wound with pasteboard splints and
ordered the free application of wa
ter. Mr.. Brehm was not satisfied
until examined by Dr's. Campbell
and Pullen on the Goth, when not
withstanding the swollen condition
of the limb they discovered the
fracture.
How Mills failed to discover it at
the time of his examination, is past
our comprehension, without impu-
ting to him culpable carelessness or
lack of knowledge.
In either case he deserves to be
discharged from the employ of the
road, for we know that the railway
corporation endeavors to procure
skillful treatment for all who re-
ceive injuries in it's employ.
