Medical knowledge Applied.

Disease is a weakness or loss of vital
force in some part of the body.
The success of the treatment is due to
the fact that the physician applies his
knowledge in his practice and employs
such remedies only as strt ngthec the
body in all its parts and at the same lime
fortifies and conserves the vital forces.
In disease some part of the body is not
performing its work
In catarrh the physicians of the Scott
Medical institute find fault of the mu-
cous membranes of the nose. and at the
same time fault of some other part OF
the body. These associated ccmplicste
catarrh.
In order to cure. the physicians OF the
Scott Medical Institute apply such treat
ment to the nose as tends to restore the
parts to a normal condition, and at the
same time they give such remedies as
will correct the othe- accompanying
troubles.
They do this by regular medical treat
ment. They have no specifics. no cleo
trical appliances. no magnetic healing
system. and no charms or fetish.
They assert no other power than spec
ial knowledge of special subj .ct.
This explains their successful catarrhal
cases. such as the following:

p. the organ OF tho sugar planters OF this
State. says that tloy will use their lower
grades Of molasses this year for fuel. Last
year tho molasses WAS q drug on the market.
and tho problem what to do with 1t became y
serious one. A large numir "f planters
dumped II into tho buyous to get rid of 1t: but
II vigorous protest has been raised against this
practice. as II tends to make tho bayous foul
smelling and unhealthy: others kept the mo-
lasses in tanks In hopes that it would improve
in value 1t has not improved. however. but
deprecated. and the question OF how to get
rid Of 1t is as difficult as ever.
Tive plans have been proposed. to manufac.
ture II into rum, or to us" II ~ fuel. The first
would require capital and machinery. and the
planters think that they have ns much to at
tend to as they can manage without running q
rum distillnry. 50 they have determined to
abandon the rum idea and use the molasses
as fuel. 1t is now worth " cents u gallon. or

Serious Fight Over a Davie Dog.
Special to State Chronicle.


WINSTON, n. c., Jan, 2. A
serious fight occurred in Davie
county, the combatants being
George Barnhardt and w. D..
Mason and Mason's son. The
difficulty occurred by the killing of
Barnhardt's dog by w. d. Mason
Mason and his son loaded pistols
and went to the home Of Barnhardt
with blood in their eyes. When
the three met the firing of pistols
began after some hot words. The
result was that Barnhardt received
five cartridges in the back and
Mason four of the same sort in the
breast. Owing to the small size OF
their shooting irons and the men
wearing heavy clothes, neither sus.
tanned fatal injuries. John Kees
