The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-07-04

In an article in the Brooklyn Medi-
cal Journal the writer calls attention
to the frequency with which certain
symptoms in children are misintor-
preted or overlooked, and thus the
origin of heart disease is neglected,
when little more care would lead to
its detection and appropriate treat
ment. 1t is not an infrequent occur
renee for a child to he taken sick with
fever, together, perhaps, with nausea,
vomiting and pain, which latter the
child refers TO the stomach A hasty
diagnosis is made of fever and pain
due to gastric irritation; after a time
the child makes a fair recovery, and
the sickness is soon forgotten. But
after the lapse of one, two or three
years, the doctor is called to the child
again, and, having occasion to examine
the chest, is surprised to find cardiac
murmur, and wonders when the child
had rheumatism.

Old Joe Brown wanted to build a
bridge across Puddle Pond, and made
big speech in favor of the improve
ment, which L told the Legislature was
in the interest of the laboring classes !;
that it would inure to the welfare of
the agricultural population, and that,
in short, it was demanded by every
right-minded man who had the welfare
and prosperity of the country at heart.
Well, what then? Why, Bill Jones'
Bill is one of my constituents, you
know-came and said that q bridge
over that pond would scare his ducks,
and he wanted me to stop it. Then /
had to go TO work and prepare another
speech, in which / said that from adj
ditional information just received, /
found that the proposed bridge was a
move on the part of a capitalist to rob
the laboring classes of their rights; that
it would be the death knell of the farm

toy could vote for it. It's awful wear
ing on us public men, to walk on both

but as / said before, it's terribly wear

Cost OF SMALLPOX.

One of the favorite statements of the
anti-vaccinationist is that medical men
support vaccination because they profit
by performing the operation. But the
London Lancet points out that the vac
cination fee is mere pittance compared
with that for attendance on smallpox
cases, which the neglect of vaccination
and revaccination infallibly bring to the
profession. Parents, in London espe-
Gladly, just now know something of the
money cost of a virulently infectious
disease in the family-to say nothing of
death risks; ESQ sterling case, in
Guiding nursing, disinfection, loss of
business, destruction of bedding, ETC.,
is moderate estimate" The average
cost OF the S,628 cases IN Illinois dur
ing the last epidemic, 1SSl-S3, was
more than double this amount-the
gross cost amounting to 81, 403, 96S. ~,
which is an average of $1,000 for each
case. Illinois doctors could give a
more crushing answer to the anti-vac-
cinationists than that OF the Lancet.
Attendance upon a smallpox case is
sufficient to destroy physicians prac-
tice-at least for the time being. Pru-
dent family physicians who have due
regard for their incomes insist on vac
cination so that they may not be called
on to treat smallpox.

How They Court In Mexico.

Going along the streets of Mexico
City one day l saw a young man flip
ping his fingers grotesquely, as though
playing an imaginary tattoo in the air.
/ looked all around, but couldn't see
anything. The next day saw him at
it again, gazing skyward all the time.
j went into the hotel and one of my
friends asked me if l had seen that
young fellow yet who was counting
that young girl. l fell at once, and
looking out L saw girl in third
story window looking down at him and
doing the tattoo act also. Said my
friend: This business has been going
on for two years, and neither of them
has spoken a word" 1t was so. They
were counting. That's the way they do
it down there. 1t was Irritation, long
protracted, but whether the pantomime
was translatable into language / am
unable to say.-San Francisco En-

The Ohio Valley Centennial Exposition.

One OF the most important events in the
history of our country's wonderful growth
and progress is the great Centennial Ex-
position which opens at Cincinnati on
July and lasts for one hundred days, or
until October q. Although the enterprise
is called THE Ohio Valley Centennial
Exposition. or the hundredth anniversary
of the settlement of the Northwest Terri
tory, il is really national exposition in
every sense, as every State and Territory
is represented and will have splendid dis
plays of their productions and wares.
The National Government has appropri-
sted $3.50, 600 10 defray the expense of the
Government exhibit alone. Enormous
cases from the Smithsonian Institution and
other departments at Washington have ar
rived full of historical and art treasures
of the capital and will be on exhibition.
The area available for exhibition space in
the several vast halls constructed espe-
cially for the occasion is nearly $50, 900
square feet, besides nearly 100, 600 more
square feet for reception and restaurant
halls. The works of art already on the
ground for exhibition are insured for over
81 ,0G0, 600. Cincinnati has uniformly
been very successful with her expositions,
but this year the public spirit and enter
prise of her citizens have assumed ma
tional proportions and deserve national
support.

SnOw-warmed Land.

Mr.. w. M. Williams finds the be-
neficence of snow fully manifested in
such climate as that of Siberia, where
a temperature of seventy to eighty de-
grees below zero, or thirty to forty de-
grees below the freezing point of mer-
curry, was recorded last October. The
SHOW, coming early in the season, and
being an almost absolute nonconductor
of heat, serves as an effective clothing
for the soil, which is thus protected
from so low minimum temperature as
it occasionally reaches in England,
with the air at fifteen or twenty de-
grees over naked ground. Hence the
paradox of Siberian vegetation, which
is so luxuriant in the summer, when
the heat of the long days is so very in
tense.-1rk. Tr1Ueler.

"Just at present, madam, we have no
room that would suit you. Our vacant
rooms are almost all EN- suite, on the
lower floors of the house, and our
charges for them are much more than
you say you care TO pay. Thank You for
favoring us with call. Good after
noon"
That was the pretty speech delivered
by mild-mannered young man to a
sharp-featured lady of about forty-five
years, who wore corkscrew curls and
bore other evidences of being an old
maid of determined disposition, who
was endeavoring to secure a room IN an
uptown hotel.
AS she walked away the smiling
clerk turned with weary sigh to re-
porter and said:
That's one Of the lies which we have
to keep in stock.
"What is the necessity for it? Just
this, our hotel is patronized largely by
men of means, who believe in getting
all the good things that are to be OBJ
tanned in a first-class hotel. They pa
tronize the bar, the wine-cellar and the
cigar stand. The hotel is small one
and we seldom have more than few
rooms vacant. III we should take that
elderly female, whom you just saw talk
ing to me, as a boarder we would not
make any money on her, for single
women of her age seldom spend any
more money than is absolutely neces-
sary. They don't 60 in for luxuries.
"The hotel is lighted by gas. Young
or old, single or married, women are all
the time curling their hair with tonges,
or making a cup of fresh tea for them
selves or their callers, and they are
notably afraid of being alone in the
dark.
"The poor, lonesome dears light each
and every gas jet in their rooms, turn
the gas on at full pressure and let it
burn that way from dusk until dawn.
They are constantly ringing the bell for
the bell boys and asking more questions
than can be answered by reference to
all the encyclopedias that have yet been
published.
"Of course they mean well, but, my
dear fellow, some of the most internal
nuisances hotel clerks have to deal with
are people who mean well. No, sir; we
don't want unmarried women of the
severe age in our hotel "-Ne,U York

Voltaire had i'm his room sometimes
five desks, at which he pursued differ

Turgot never worked but when he had
dined heartily.
Pitt never ate but at his own table,
which was frugal; only when he had
some important affair to discuss he took
little port wine with a spoonful OF
Peruvian bark.
Addison speaks of an advocate who
would never plead a case without hav-

and, half muffied up, painted.
Michael Angelo did nearly the same,
but with single candle.
The historian, Mezeray, would work
only with candle, even at midday and
midsummer. He never failed TO wait
