DIET IN sclArlc NEURALGIA.


The Importance of Proper Food I'm This
Painful Malady.
Sciatic neuralgia is in the great ma
jority Of cases due to hypersthesia OF
the sympathetic ganglia, situated just
back of the stomach and which controls
the digestive processes. This ganglia
is sometimes called the abdominal brain
and in all of the lever animals, the
largest mass of nerve fiber is located
here. Any improper diet, condiments,
spices, pickles, rich foods and all other
things which irritate the stomach, have
reflex action upon the abdominal
brain and this in turn affects the lum-
bar ganglia. Deep pressure made at
the pit of the stomach just at the lower
end of the breast bone will often show
a sensitiveness which is traceable ia
the solar plexus. Deep pressure also al
the right or left of the umbilicus will
often cause pain showing irritation Of
the lumbar ganglia. In this case the
neumo-gastric nerve is also affected and
the patient may have one-sided head
aches upon the same side as the tender
ness. 1t also takes on other forms
One patient had symptoms of asthms
which l found originated in this reflex
irritation and by pressure upon these
sensitive points could bring on an at
tack of asthma at once. These ART
cases which no change of climate viii
benefit, for they carry with them dis
order really of the stomach which M
climate will reach. In other cases thu
irritation may be in the sciatic nerve
and no nerve stretching, blistering o.
local treatment will effect cure. 1t i
plain then that diet has great deal Il
do with sciatica.-Dr. j. H. Kellogg.

How 4 Chinaman Uses an Iron.

1t is curious how differently China
man uses an iron from the method en-
ployed by women. When woman
uses an iron she begins with it at the
right heat for use, and consequently it
soon cools, and she consumes much time
in changing her irons. The Chinaman,
on the contrary, gets his iron very hot,
much too hot for use. When he begins
to use the iron he plunges itquickly into
cold water This cools the surface for
a moment. The heat from the interior
then begins to come to the surface, and
continues to do so for some time, about
a. fast as it is cooled by use, so that the
necessity for the frequent changing Of
irons is obviated-American Home

THERE ARE CHARGES OF FRAUD,
Another Man Has Been Implicated In the
transactions in Alleged Bogus Insur-
anoo, and is Charged with Doing Bust

DR. Everett f. Adams, e medical ex-
aminer Of the Peoples Industrial lnsur-
ance Company, who was arrested on a
charge of fraud last week and released on
$500 bail for appearance Friday, has been
missing from this city since Saturday.
Daniel u. Williams. who went bail for
the doctor, is laboring under tremendous
excitement regarding the disappearance.
and has made thorough search through
the city for the doctor.
From the slight clue furnished him,
Mr.. Williams believes the man to be at
present in New Jersey and will take inn
mediate measures 70 secure his return.
The investigation set on foot by Supt.
Stanton of the insurance company has
panned ou far more seriously than was
at first expected.
1t appears that the doctor had conducted
a successful business by representing him
self as agent of Western insurance com
panies. insuring the easily-gulled public
in these companies and apparently pocket
ing the money received, in place of return
ing it to the home offices.

sented TO a neighbor that she could col
lect the money in case OF death,

the policy was prefented to her she ascer-
tanned that it was made payable To a

She Immediately called the attention Of
the doctor 10 this fact and he promised,
with ready tact, TO make the change.
Since then, however, she has seen neither
doctor nor policy, and is now haunting
the office of the Peoples Industrial lnsur-
ance Company in this city.
The policy was for 81 ,OOO and was made
out under the name OF the Bunalo Lie
and Reserve Association In Buffalo
Additional evidences OF fraud are being
unearthed hourly, nearly half hundred
bogus certificates having been already
discovered.
The insurance companies in this city
