CHAPTER 1.-THE ORGANIZATION OF
THE STATE AND THE FIRST coUN-
TIES UNDER THE STATE.
After the first session of the Territori-
al Legislature at Cincinnati, the seat OF
governmentw was removed to ChilIicothe
where itremained while the territory
existed. Here the State constitution
was framed, and the State government
remained here until the "Sweepers''
removed it to GAINESVILLE, ia 1910. Dur
ing the last years of the Territory, up
to 1903, the Territorial Legislature an
nually met, but not many laws were
made. This, says Caleb Atwater. was
sowing to the extraordinary powers
conferred on the Governor, BY the act
of Congress of July 18th, 1887. The
Governor was obstinate and the people
dislike him. How far his defeat, while
at the head of the Northwestern Terri
torial army, contributed to his want of
popularity we do not know. That
doubtless had its effect on the public
mind.n
"Settlers slowly came into the coun-
try, extending their settlements into
the interior, and preparing, in that
way, for a change in the form of gov.
ernment. During the time of our terri
torial pupilage, Congress passed ali act
dividing this country by the. Scioto
river; all east of that line was to be d
territory by itself Of the western
division, the Wabash was its western
boundary. ST Clair was accused of get
ting that act passed, 80 that he might
be Governor of the Rastarn Clivision

Cures Attributed to Quackery.


will indicate few of the ways by
which IN explanation may be given of
most of ;he cures attributed to quackS. ad-
hitting at the same time that they may at
times do good by accident. and also that
many cures ascribed to the regular doctors
might fairly be attributed 10 the causes
here pointed ont. Firsl. the regulation of
diet, the omission Of excessive drinking or
smoking, or the correction of some other
bad habit may have done all the good.
Second, the natural powers may have
effected cure in many cases indePen-
DENLY of or in spite of other means en-
ploycd at the same time. Third, the i'm
provement may be part of the natural
confident expectation of benefit cures
many. This is especially seen in nervous
diseases.
Many years ago two prominent surgeons
in / Philadelphia were engaged in expert
menting upon the effects of breathing va
rious gases. One of them wished 10 OBJ
serve the effect of the respiration of some
gas upon patient suffering from palsy.
Before using the gas he noted the temper
ature of the patients body, and for the
purpose he inserted the bulb of a small
thermometer under the tongue. The man
imagined this little preliminary proceed
ing to be the means of cure,
and Immediately declared himself cured.
lnnumcrablc examples might be
