Something About Patent Medi-
cineS.

The firms Of manufacturers of prop
rietary medicines, nine out of ten, live
solely by the newspapers, and sometimes
are admirably managed. | know some
establishments in which there is regu-
lar staff employed. l kow something
about them, because they try to bride
me to certify to the value of their con-
coctions. As | say, there is a regular
writes the letters, giving marvellous &C
counts of marvellous cures; there is the
artist, who shows the patient before and
after taking twenty two bottles of the
medicine; there is the poet, who com
poses poems upon the subject; there is
the liar, who swears to what he knows
isn't true, and the forger, who produces
testimonials from his own Imagination.
Without exaggeration | should say that
nine out of ten of these proprietary me d.
cines are frauds, pure and simple. The
real business is advertising for dupes.
The medical part of it is but a side ISSUE
l am pretty sure if | were to pound up
brickbats and spend $l00,0 900 in offering
it at 81 an ounce as sure cure for some
disease which cannot be cured, | should
get back at least $4,000. thus giving
me $40, 900 for my trouble. Nine-tenths
of the medicines sent out in his fashion
have no more curative properties than
brick bat dust.

FancifuI Derivations,

The San Angelo (Tex.) Enterprise says
"The term 'greaser,' as applied to Mexi-
cans of the lower class, was not started, as
many suppose, as Specification of disre-
spect, but was applied by a witty war CORE
spondent in 1916, just after the battle OF
pala Alto, to those Mexicans who had
forsworn allegiance to their own country
and in preference to fighting taken the
task Of loading and unloading provision
trains, which then consisted mostly of
bacon. In this way they gained the name
of the 'greaser brigade Whatever the
term implies, it is much older than The
Enterprise sapposes. 1t was known to the
United States volunteers who came to
what is now the Indian territory in 1881,
at the end of the Black Hawk war The
story that the name Meverick, applied to
yearling cattle, was given on account of
the head OF the San Antonio family of
that name is equally fabulous. Il was in
use in louisiana before that state was
part Of the United States.-Dallas News

A Diet for Rheumatic Gout.


DR.. John Cutter, Of New York, tells of a
woman who had been three summers at
one of the large sanitariums, but re-
ceived no benefit. The doctors at the
sanitarium told her rheumatic govt was
fend and incnrahle, that milk was a
perfect food. though in this case it clogged
the liver so as to cause serious trouble;
that beef was unclean and not fit for food,
etc. She went on diet of meat and lit
tie bread, as vegetables caused bloating,
and in three weeks saw decided improve
ment. A finger that she had not been able
10 bend to the palm was able to touch it
without pain.
Doubtless not few of the cases Of large
waists and bloated figures among women,
all which are on the way to fevers and
rheumatisms, would improve by the strict
diet of scraped beef pulp broiled, with
toasted brown bread, with little sugar or
starchy food,-Shirley Dare in New York

A Negro Turning White.

Green Howell, an old oolored man from
Midwife, is only partly colored, though a
full blooded negro, his skip being as much
white as it is black. He has white circles
around his eyes and mouth, and his neck
is almost entirely white. The forehead and
top of his head are so white that it gives
him the appearance Of being bald headed.
In reply 10 questions Green said that ha
had been turning white for five or six
years. The skin on his body and legs now
is almost entirely white. He said there is
no feeling in the change and no pain about
it, except that when he is in the sun the
white skin blisters.
Green is over so years old, The white
ski exposed 10 view is as clear and healthy
looking as that of a Caucasian.-Savan-

THE BICYCLE AND HEALTH.

Since the invention of the Safety as it is
called, bicycling has become universally po-
pular as a sport and pastime. The machines
are much cheaper, there is no danger attached
to their use and they are used by both sexes,
all of which adds to the popularity of the
wheel. But bicycling has it's use not only for
sport but as a factor in promoting health. DR..
Jennings, of Paris, France, who was an invalid
until he took to cycling, has written a little
book, in which he advises cycling as a frst-rate
remedy for a large number of ailments, some
of which are varicosities, gout, rheumatism,
obesity, constipation, diabetes mellitus and
va rious functional nervous disorders. The
healthfulness of bicycling and its superiority
over indoor gymnastics are due to the open air
life the rider leads, and for this reason it has
been suG gested as especially valuable for ladies,
who have so little opportunity for open-air
exercise. 1t is superior to walking, since it is
less monotonous and fatiguing, and is far less
troublesome and much less expensive than
horseback riding. The man was a genius who
suggested as a solution of the rapid transit
problem in New York City the exclusive reser-
walton for bicycling of two streets, one on the
East and one on the West side of town, to
extend from Harlem to the Battery and be
paved with asphalt. Not only would that
solve the problem of transportation, each man,
woman and child transporting himself or her
self, but it would make New Workers the health
lest, heartiest and strongest people in the
world.-NeO York Daily Tribuns, August 22nd.

BALLOON DISASTERS.

The roll Of the disasters peculiar to the
summer season is this year heightened in an
extraordinary manner. There have been about as
many persons drowned as usual in the surf
and in boating accidents; i'll made ice cream has
played its poisonous part efficiently; excursion
trains and boats and barges have yielded their
full quota Of victims, and the customary loss
Of life and limb through the other customary
agencies has been duly reported. In addition
to all these the balloon has now come to the
fore as a death-dealing device and bids fair to
win for itself a CHASTITY pre-eminence. During
the last two or three weeks there has been a
veritable epidemic of aerial mishaps. Some
balloons have burst, some parachutes have col
lapsed, and in these and various other WAYS
a startling death rate among aeronauts has been
attained. In one day this week three disas-
tiers were reported one man fell from his
balloon car into the Adriatic Sea and was
drowned; another descended with his parachute
into Ononda2a Lake and was drowned and
IN Colorado three fell with their storm struck
balloon and narrowly escaped death. A few
days ago a young woman in the West tried to
descend with a parachute, but it collapsed and
she was killed: and at about the a time.
a man in London fell with his parachute upon
some telegraph wires and was killed.
1ne aGSIaVaIiilS feature OF all these tragedies
is their utter needlessness. The craze for novel
and reckless exhibitions thous nds of feet above
the ground is simply a hinge ing trait of bar
barism. The thousands who flock to see such
performances do SO with scarcely a better
motive than those had who thlonged the Ro-
man amphitheatre. The spectacle is not anus.
ing nor instructive; it is simply perilous, and
people are led to see it merely by the morbid
fascination that danger to human life seems to
exert. IT 1t were not that the man clinging
to the parachute trapeze appears to be in i'm.
minent danger of death, scarcely one of all the
gaping crowd would care to gaze at him. That
so many rIelsnre-seekers should p~atronize such

Next take some of our fruit. Oranges are
there in abundance. We should gain not
very much perhaps by those, unless we could
put them fresh in the market at a time when
other sources of supply fail; but we have Shad,
docks. Now English people know little of
ShaddockS. But who that has tasted a Scans
S~haddock, would hesitate in pronouncing this
as i~ncomparably the best fruit we produce.
There are Shaddocks and ~Shaddocks. Some
dry and bitter, some juicy and delicious. It is
besides a fruit that keeps admirably. We
all know that. Speaking with an old planter
a week or two since, he assured US that a
friend had written him from England to tell
him that a Shaddock he had sent as a present,
was still good at the end of three months.
We queried some mistake in this, but were
assured it was the case. Three months lis d
long while for a fruit to keep, but we can rea-
Oily believe Shaddocks would keep long in
England.
