TONsILITIS

Is an acute inflammation OF the tonsils,
which consists OF a collection or mass of small
mucous f0llicles or glands whose office il to
secrete portion of the fluid which keeps the
throat moist There are persons who suffer
every winter. sometimes oftener, with an
attack of acute Inflammation of these glands
The trou BILE begins with a slight soreness and
swelling, which gradually increases until the
act OF swallowing is attended with great suffer
ing.
These glands are sometimes affected by a
chronic illumination, and are found enlarged
and very much hardened. In such cases they
secrete thin, unhealthy, irritating fluid,
which is spread over the throat perpetuating
the disease. In the throats of many young
persons these glands are permanently so large
as to render respiration exceedingly difficult.
The defective breathing of children thus
affected often occasions contraction of the
chest, and lays the foundation for consump-
ton. The eu,taehian tubes (the mouths Of
which are just above the palate) are often in.
famed and partial deafness is the result.
Many patients suffering from a throat dis
ease are dyspeptic, and suffer from depression
OF spirits. So often does this symptom present
itself that 1t may almost be regarded as one of
the peculiar ties. Persons thus afflicted have
usually the dark and dingy look of the face
which denotes functional arrangement of the
liver; They are frequently emacisted. nerv-
GUS, hypochrondIiacal, irritable and often ex-
hausted from other causes, in combination
with this disease.

Obituary.

Mrs. +. Z. White, who left here in conf
pany with her husband and daughter few
days ago to make her home in Manhattan,
k m,as, died at The latter place on Wednes-
day morning last. She endured the journey
very well and seemed as well when she
reached Kansas, as when She left here, but
a sudden and serious turn took place which
ended in her death five days after her arriv-
al. Her son, Kirk White, left last Wednes-
day evening TO attend the funeral, which
occurred at the place of her death Rev. j.
Donnelly preached memorial sermon in
the Baptist church last Sunday morning,
from Rev. 1914 at which time he gave
sketch of her life. Anna A. White was
born in Marlboro, Vermont, Aug. 1880.
Her father, Rufus Mather was defendant
from Cotton Mather q celebrated minister of
Colonial times. In early life she secured a
, good education in Brattleboro Academy,
from which she graduated, after which she
spent afew years in teaching. In 1858 she
married Il. L. White and in 1856 the family
came to this city, where they continued to
reside until they took their departure few
days ago.
When the Baptist church was organized
in 1856, in this city, she was one of the
twenty-one persons who formed the organ
izatlon. For over twenty-five years she
rendered very efficient aid TO the church, as
President of the Ladies' Aid Society as
teacher in the Sunday School, and in fact
as q helper in every branch of christian
work. She was kind to the poor and did
much in quiet way 10 administer to the
relief of those who were in distress.
For the past three years her health has
been feeble, so that she was compelled to
spend her winters in Florida, and on account
of the prevalence of the yellow fever in the
South, the family deemed IL best to go to
Kansas, and live with her married daughter.
But her residence there was very brief, God
having taken her to a Mansion not made
with hands, eternal In the Heavens
Mrs. White was kind neighbor, a most
dcvout wife and mother and devout christ
ian. There are many here who will have
occasion to remember her for her many acts
of kindness. Her death removes another
from the list Of those who have been identi-
fed with the religious and educational inter-
ests Of our city. Xxx.

- The habitual use of alcohol
may be the result of indulgence for

it may be the outcome ofan Inherited

distinguish between these two classes
