CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
~ coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
arc present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more or less involved.
It Is in the cure of this distressing
malady that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has acquired worldwide
fame. No matter what stage the dis

Cushions Made of PAPER

During the Franco-German war the
ladies in England were busy making
paper cushions which they sent to
France to be used for the wounded in
the hospitals. Hundreds Of thousands
of these cushions were sent and were of
great service. Now all England is crazy
on the subject of paper pillows again.
They tear the paper into very small
pieces, not bigger than ones finger nail,
and then put them into pillow-sack OF
drilling or light ticking. They are very
cool for hot climates and much superior
to feather pillows. The newspapers are
printing appeals for them in hospitals.
Newspaper is not nice to use, as there
is disageeeable odor from printers
ink; but brown or white paper and old
letters and envelopes are the best. As
they are torn, stuff them into an old
p4llow-casc, and you can see when you
have enough. The easiest way is to
tear or cut the paper in strips about
half IN inch wide, and then tear or cut
1t across. The finer it is, the lighter 1t
makes the pillews.-N. Y. Nail and En-.

You are living your happiest days;

THE FIRST MATCH.
Some of the Cunlbrous Fuses Used b
Our GrandfntherS.


Our Grandfnthers.
The inventor of the first match men
toned in history did not make fortune
out of his discovery for the reason that
it took almost as much time and patience
to light one of them as it did by the
flint, steel and Undertook process, which
1t aimed to sCpersede. 1t was made
publi; soon after the introduction OF
phosphorus in England in 1880, and con.
sisted of splint of wood, one end OF
which had been dipped in sulphur.
Smokers and others who adopted it:
found it useless without carrying about
small quantity of phosphorus, which,
when rubbed between two folds of brown
paper, emitted fame from which the
match could be ignited.
1t was not in the nature of things that
this should meet with much of sue
cess among even the slow-going inhabi.
tants of England, and staid old gentle
men who carried huge snuff-boxes and
smoked enormous pipes at that period
characterized it and subsequent discov
cries of the same nature as inventions
of the devil. The most popular of these
was the chemical match of the 'sinstan.
taneous light-box." This was a small
phosphorus case filled with eighty splints
of wood, which sold for fifteen shillings
and was much affected by the ancient
''bucks'' of London.
The splints we're coated with sulphu,
at one end and then subjected to bath
of chlorate of potash, flower of sulphur
colophony, gum of sugar and cinnabal
to produce pleasing coloring effect. In
each box was small bottle of sulphuric
acid, into which, when light was de.
sired, the match was dipped and at once
ignited by chemical action. This inven.
ton had its drawbacks. Nervous men
under certain circumstances when called
upon to produce light in the dark were
apt to burn their fingers with the sui.
phuric acid, and sometimes, when man
most desired light, he would be thrown
into despair at the discovery that his
bottle was empty.
In 1928 learned professor of chem.
istry in Paris introduced an apparatus
which was, if not successful, at least
unique. In this case phosphorus and
sulphur was melted together in a glass
tube. which had to be kept securely
corked. TO obtain light splint was
inserted into the tube and detached 8
small pellet of the mixture, which i'm.
mediately ignited upon exposure to the
air. Another form of the primitive
match was the birthstone match
which was made by cutting dry pieces OF
wood filled with resin into splints six
inches long, with both ends pointed and
dipped into sulphur. It could be used
only in connection with the flint and
steel, however, and aside from the fact
that when one end had been used the
charred part could be broken off and the
other crude end subjected to the same
process, it possessed no startling merit.
This and the other crude ancestors OF
the match Of the present day were in
common use up to the end of the first
quarter of the present century, when
several ingenious inventions were made
public and followed each other in such
rapid succession that the old "brim.
stone' match and its awkward contem.
poraries were relegated to deserved OBJ
scurity.-Chicago Mail.

NEW WATER DISEASE,
4 baltimore Man Attacked With Hydsti

Baltimore Man Attacked With Hydatld-
cyst of the Liver.
A rare and serious disease, which is
known as hydatidcyst of the liver, is be-
ing watched with great interest by the
professors, doctors and medical students
at the city hospital. The patient is
German, John F. Boisenbruch, and he is
1orty-four years of age. His disease is
due to the ova, of a peculiar kind of tape
worm which inhabits the dog and other
animals. The ova find their way into
the stomach of man in drinking water
and are thence carried to the liver by
the blood vessels. The egg is about
one-hundredth of an inch in diameter
and tho parts which develop it are found
in the water on the ground and stick to
the surface of vegetables uncoolxcd to
take the ova into the body. The ami
mails from these ova, however, arc not
developed in man. The eggs cnce in
the stomach of man increase at an
enormous rate. From the stomach of a
man they are absorbed by the blood YES
sells leading to the liver. Here too ova
; form cysts or little bags around them
selves, like the caterpillar in its CO.
coon. When this cyst is taken into the
stomach Of the dog it develops into
the full-grown hydatid, which is
one-quarter of an inch in length With
head one-sixtieth Of an inch and hav~
ing numerous little hooks and suckers.
Boisenbruch was admitted to the city
hospital on October IS, 1889. He was a
laborer at the Jesuit College, in Wood
stock, and had complained of dull, bat
severe pain in his right side since last
spring. He had wasted away and lost
nearly forty pounds of flesh. The doc.
tors at the city hospital diagnosed his
case and on November IA, Prof. Chas. F,
Bevan, in the presence of Drs. 3. w
Chambers, T. S. Latimer. w. w. Smith
and John Branham, performed what has
up to the present timc proved very
successful operation. Prof. Bevan made
an incision in the w&ll of the right
side Of the abdomen, just below the ribs
and about a gallon and half of pus was
taken from the mans ive.. The method
of removing the hydat,dcysts is by
means OF draining the liver, which oper-
alton is of modern surgical art. The
pain of the patient before the operation
was intense, the tumor in his right side
having extended his liver nearly fifteen
inches. The great pain seemed to leave
him after the operation ard he now ap.
pears to be recovering.-.Ealtimo Let
