Medical Dire iions to Patients That Were
Delightfaliy Comprehensive.
The old time physician administered
heroic remedies, and usually began his
treatment Of any case by opening vein
In the patients arm, and bleeding him
copiously, Among the directions left
by him, none was more imperative than
that fever patients should not be al
lowed cold water, and he seemed to have
perfect genius for compromising nause-
Gus mixtures. A sketch Of 'The Hun
dredth Town" Incorporated in Massa-
chusetts gives some interesting char
acteristics and methods OF Doctor Ball,
who practiced there in the first part of
this century. His directions to his pa-
tients were delightfully."- comprehensive.

warm, hot, cold, or feverish."

One dqy patient, having doubtless
drunk the full bitterness of such a pre-
scription, said TO him; "What Is the need
Of so many different things, doctor?"
"Well." was the reply, ''if you are go-
ing to shoot bird, you use plenty Of
shot. Some Of these things are pretty
sure to hit the case"
A young physician, however, who
moved into the town in the old doctors
day. found an answer to this illustra-
tion.
''Tell the old doctor" said he. to some
one who quoted it, "that nowadays We
dont't use shotguns. We use rifles. -

A Once pespl.ea yeratahls.

Some paper. speaking OF the tomato
crop, says. that $4,000, 900 cans '.were put
up this year past" and refers to the old
times whom tho tomato was called the
Glove apple" and held about as fair a
match for ground cherries" as food for
man or beast. Mr.. B. X. Sulgrove, the
Oldest newspaper man in the city, says
he remembers seeing, when boy, in
1885 or thereabouts several stocks or
bushes of 'love apples growing on the
north side OF Market street. near Della
ware, in the garden OF John Wilkins or
"Archie" Lingenielter. They were not
called 'tomatoes," and nobody thought
OF eating them more than iijimsan
burs." They were not commonly grown,
even for garden ornament, and it was a
half score OF years later before they
came into even occasional table use
But he remembers that some Of the doc
tors OF that day commended them as q
healthful thing to eat and the new
tomato became familiar Fifty
years or more ago this, was the fame
and food value OF tho tomato, now more
often and generally used, and in more
forms than any other garden product
whatever. indianapolis News.

After three days of ballotting at
Carrollton, the Sixth District Conven-
ton nominated State Senator Worth
w. Dickerson, of Grant county, to
succeed Hon. John q. Carlisle in
Congress. There were at the start
about dozen candidates, among
them, Berry, of Campbell; Hallam
and O'Hara, of Kenton; Gaunt, Grant
Dickerson, Applegate, Mccain and
Others from the back counties. There
were ninety delegates, fifty, or
a majority of them, being from the
city counties of Campbell and Ken
ton. The split in Kenton which re-
suited in dividing Kenton between
Hallam and O'Hara prevented the
possibility of uniting ON either of
them. After the dropping of the
hindmost man was begun the race was
soon narrowed down to Berry, Dick
erson and Hallam. O'Hara had been
withdrawn and was again brought
out, but he could not mite enough
city votes, even after Berry had drop
ped out, and the country" carried off
the nomination. The nominee is a
slightly built, rather delicate young
man, under forty years of age. He
has an abundant crop OF coal black
hair and black piercing eyes. He has
been prominent in the State Senate
from his first entrance into it and two
years ago was tho author of the Dick
erson Prison Parole Bill now in force.
He is bright, able and Il goodspcaker.
His nomination will give entire salts
faction and his friends predict that
the handsome youngCongaessman will
prove a worthy successor To The great
statesman whose place he takes.

DAYS OF REGISTRATION:
June 6, z, 13 and 4 atall Voting
Places.

The registration last week brought
out nearly three-fourths of the tota
vote, but there are many voter
amongst the remaining fourth wht
seem to be almost criminally careless
about attending to this very impor-
tant duty. They are men who take
but little interest in politics and are
always indifferent about voting. Ii
you belong to this class, for once
arouse yourself and place yourself in
a position to vote for the best inter
ests OF your county. We are to be
confronted this year with issues upon
which no patriotic citizen should hes
itate to take sides. Questions of Vi
tai Importance are to be voted upon
and the good citizen who
deliberately DISTINGUISHES himself
by neglecting a public duty,
will prove recreant to the trusts
imposed upon the voting citizen, who
must not only guard his own interests
but in measure be the custodian of
the welfare of the non-voting ele-
ments of his community. If you
have not registered you have neglected
yonr duty to yourself, your family
and to the widows and orphans about
you. Officers are to be elected who
have to deal with these classes, with
the property interests of all the peo-
pie and who will be charged with the
protection Of good people and and
the punishment of law-breakers. If
you fail to vote for good men when
such issues are at stake you fail to
perform your duty as citizen. Bear
in mind you cannot vote unless you
register and you cannot register after
this week. Let nothing interfere
until you have attended to this
matter.
