TIE CAUSES OF DEATH.

Our readers are doubtless all familiar
with the Robinson poison cases, which
have recently come to light in Summer
vile, Mass, suburb of Boston.
1t seems that deaths have occurred
from arsenical poisoning, seven in one
family and within five years. 1t is doubt
full if the murderers would have been
brought to justice had not an organiza-
ton in which the victims were insured
began investigation as to why so many
persons had suddenly died in one family.
But the sensation from a medical point
of view took place in Boston at a recent
meeting of the Massachusetts Medico-
Legal society, when it was stated by DR..
Holt that there was general ignorance
of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning
and because of such ignorance the Robin
son poisoning cases has gone on without
arousing the suspicion of medical men.
The Robinson cases were all treated by
regular physicians, with correct diplom-
as, men supposed to know what they
were do6toring for, and to know the eff
feet of drugs on certain diseases. Yet in
the five deaths from arsenical poisoning
of which we speak, certificates of death
were given for pneumonia, typhoid fever,
meningitis, bowel disease, and Bright's
disease.
Such commentary on the general ig-
norance OF the medical profession, made
by one of its own number, we telieve
to be without parallel.
Is it any wonder that patients are los
ing faith in their doctors? Here were five
able-bod,ed people slowly poisoned with
arsenic before their very eyes, and yet
these very wise medical men were doctor
ing them for pneumonia, typhoid fever,
meningitis, bowel disease, and Bright
disease
In the very same manner thousands OF
patients are being treated this day for
pneumonia, heart trouble, dropsy, incip-
lent consumption, ETC.. when these are
but symptoms of advanced kidney dis
ease, which is but another name for
Brisht's disease. The doctors do not
strike at the seat of the disease-the kid
neys, and if they did nine times out OF
ten they would tail-as they are on record
as saying they cannot cure Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. Rather than use
Warmers Safe Cure, a wellknown specif-
ic for this and all other forms of kidney
disease they would let their patients die,
and then give death certificate that
death was caused by pericarditis, apop-
lexy, phthisis or cardiac affection.
Is this not the honest truth? Do you
not know in your own personal history
very many instances where physicians
doetored the wrong disease, and caused
untold suffering, and many times, death?
Which leads us to remark that very much
can be learned by one's-self by careful
observation, and that the doctors are
very far from having monopoly of the
knowledge of medicine or disease.

The late DR.. J. G. Holland, the eminent
writer and physician, wrote and pub
lished IN Scribner's Magazine: 1T is q
fact that many of the best proprietary
medicines of the day are more successful
than many physicians, and most of them
are first discovered and used in actual
medical practice. When, however, any
shrewd person, knowing their virtue, for
seeing their popularity, secures and ad
vertises them, then in the opinion of the
bigoted, all virtue went out of them. y
The late DR.. Dio Lewis, in speaking Of
Warmers Safe Cure, says: "If I fonnd
myself the victim of a serious kidney
trouble, would use your PREPARATION
R. A. Gum, NJ. D., author of "Gunn's

thus frankly the value of Warmers SAFE

the University of the city of New York
says: More adults are carried off by
chronic kidney disease than by any other
one malady except consumption"

The Capitol removal is again being
stron sly agitated AMI in relation thereto
the St. Paul Dispatch propounds some
pertinent queries as to the constitutional
status of the question.
Independent of any constitutional
question as 20 the legality or method OF
its removal, it is the opinion of the HER
AID the editor being ABSENT that the
only motive of the agitators of the meas
IRE is spite work against ST. Paul.
Of what earthly benefit can its removal
to the Midway district be to any person
in the state excepthe few who own prop
crty in the immediate vicinity? Not a
single person in the state outside OF
Minneapolis and the proposed district,
but that would be seriously disconnected
by the contemplated removal. AS it is
now, person can visit St. Paul on q
business trip and visit the capitol, if de
sired, without extra expense Or trouble
Ifin Minneapolis, it is no more trouble
to visit the capitol at st. Paul than it
would be at Midway. If it is considered
cxpedient to move the capitol at all, let
it go to Minneapolis direct and not at
tempt to discommode the whole state for
simple spite against st. Paul or to bene-
fit few nillionaires who own property
at Midway.

AN INCREASE IN FORESTS.
Trees More Numerous in Illinois Than They
Were Years Ago.

Trees More Numerous in Illinois Than They
Were Years Ago.
Chicago Herald:
Illinois is probably the only State in the
Union in which forests trees are increasing,
but here the gain is great. The vast level
plains:that were once called. "treeless prai-
ries" are now dotted with beautiful groves
in which song birds congregate and rear
their young. Many towns in which all the
buildings were conspicuous for distance of
several miles are now completely hidden
by trees. On great number of farms the
rows of trees that were planted to serve as
protection against the wind have extended
till they occupy several rods of ground.
Small natural groves that were protected
from prairie fires have extended on each
side till they now cover many acres. In
several counties there are artificial forests of
considerable extent.
The increase of forest trees in Illinois Is
due to several causes. Soft coal is cheap,
and it has generally been used as fuel.
More hedges were planted in Illinois than
in any other of the States. Barbed wire
was invented and first brought into use
here. These two substitutes for boards and
rails in making farm fences have saved an
immense amount of lumber.

Little Pests That Eat Up Millions Worth of
Crops Annually.

Crops Annually.
Washington Post.l
Few people," said L. o. Howard, Act
ing Entomologist of the Agricultural De
partment, "realize the extent of the dam
ages done by pests every year. 1t has been
estimated that crops valued at $500, 600, 900
are annually destroyed in this way.
lit is very curious how insects never be-
fore figuring as pests will spring up in
great numbers and do great damage. They
may find for the first time in many years all
the conditions for their propagation
suitable, and then comes the trouble Al
most all the insects living on a vegetable
diet may become pests if sufficiently multi
piled"
ST hardly think, concluded Mr.. Howard
''that the great scope of entomology is
realized by the people generally. Compar-
atively few people are aware of the fact that
the number of insects Of the world is five
times as great as the aggregation of all the
varieties Of plantsin the vegetable kingdom,
and that they exceed the number in the an
imsl world"
