THE AMERICAN OPERATION.

At a recent medical meeting in Topeka,
DR.. Henry w. Roby made the following re-
port, under the head of Clinical Surgery:
For thirty years Mr.. Vim. Lason, a railroad
man, had been greatly troubled with dyspep-
Ela, and could never get q permanent cure of
the trouble. He had tried many doctors and
many patent medicines. A few weeks ago he
applied to me for treatment. Knowing that
many cases of dyspepsia have their beginning
and cause at the outlet instead of the inlet of
the ahmentary canal, l suggested examining
his rectun, which he at first stoutly opposed,
declaring that there was nothing the matter
with 1t. But finally he consented, under pro-
test. Upon examination l found large ring
Of piles about an inch inside of the anus in
very badly damaged condition. I advised
what is called the American operation and
he consented. To show you what that MEANS
suppose the lining of your coat sleeve has be-
come stretched until it IS an inch too long,
making a fold of redundant lining at the
lower end of it, just above where it joins the.
cloth of the sleeve, and suppose that surplus
inch is worn and ragged. You go to the tailor
and he simply cuts out the surplus length
and stitches the severed end of the lining to
the severed cloth of the sleeve, and thus
makes your sleeve all right again. did the
same thing with this mans rectum. took
out an inch and a half of the diseased or
ragged lining and stitched the healthy lining
down to the margin of the skin outside. That
removes what Is known as the 'pile-bearing
inch of the rectum, by which the piles and
all diseased tissue are removed. In this case
found at least fifty blood clots packed in
behind the piles, just as you often find lint
and particles OF your garment dropped down
to your coat wrist or skirt. These clots must
all be removed to make a cure. Medicine
will never cure them any more than it will
take a silver out of your flesh or the mote out
of your eye.
81 have now performed that operation on
great many chronic dyspeptics, and always
with what seem to me marvellous results.
They recover from the operation in sur
prisingly short time, and then follows good
two-stOry and basement appetite, good sleep,
good circulation, no more cold hands and
feet and headache, no more dragging and
heavy sensations, no more of that terrible
'all-tired-out' feeling. I could point out a
large number of cur citizens who are now
going about feeling ten to thirty years
younger and stronger after taking the Amer
lean operation"

It Is the duty of the newspaper 20 stand be-
tween the people and the unjust exactions of
corporations and capital. When there is ac-
tual danger it should sound the alarm, and
should not give up the contest nor falter in
its work until every wrong Is righted and
every kind of extortiOn Is exposed and sup
pressed. The newspaper has also another
duty, which it is sometimes, though far less
often, called upon to perform, and which is
far more disagreeable, though just as impera-
tive. 1t should defend these same corpora
tons against the rage and unjust demands of
a class of people who are never satisfied, and
never viii be unless they can compel every
one to run their business for their exclusive
benefit and under their direction. When We
become aroused by a knowledge of wrongs
inflicted, we are apt to carry our redress to
the bounds of revenge, and when once the
tide is rolled back we do not feel satisfied I'M
til it has entirely swept away the interests
which at first we only sought TO control. The
newspaper should see when redress becomes
oppression, when righteous indignation de-
generates into mad fury, and should not hest
tate to call a halt, and to stay the destroying
wave. Truth always lies about midway be-
tween the extremes. To poise public senti-
ment upon this pivotal point, and maintain it
there, is a difficult, if not an impossible task,
but the press of the country should do this as
nearly as possible. 1t Is a great thing to know
when you have got enough, and a wise thing
to declare it.-York Times.

A Bit OF History that Is just NOW APP
prOpriate.
In Philadelphia, in Chestnut street,
stands the famous building now known as
Independence Hall, which used to be
called the State House. This edifice is
one OF the shrines OF American patriot
ism, for it was In one of its low-roofed.
quaint old rooms that the Declaration
OF Independence, which made OF the
United States a nation, was debated
and decided.
In the month Of May, 1775, the Second
Continental Congress, which had the
authority Of a general government over
the colonies, met in Philadelphia. Lex
ingtOn and Concord had been fought the
previous April. In June Congress chose
as COmmander-in-chief OF the American
army George Washington, who was
present as a delegate from Virginia. Set
ting out for Boston in the latter part Of
that month, he heard of the battle Of
Bunker Hill on his way.
Thus there was war. But though the
colonies were in arms, they We're So not
for separation from the British Govern
ment, but for their rights under that
government. To a large portion of the
American people the idea of final sep
arattOn from England was at this time
distasteful. Even after months OF fight
ing they chung to the hope Of a friendly
settlement Of differences. Franklin was
an ardent advocate of reconciliation,
and SO was Washington, who at a later
period wrote; when 1 took command

speaking, know nothing of tea. Nor is
it a very recognizable quantity in the

preferring chocolate and the Italians

The Germans are moderately fond Of

best.
In Paris the use of tea is generally
confined TO polite society, and scarcely

Saxon peoples that the consumption Of
tea is most systematic and most extern
sive.
The Australians are essentially a tea
drinking people. There cannot, indeed,
be the slightest doubt that the cause Of
temperance both in Australia and the
United States has been materially ad-
vanced by the prevalence Of tea-drink-
ing, and If our kinsmen beyond the At
lantic or on the shores Of the Pacific
really suffer from dyspepsia, it is pos
sible that their tendency to indigestion
springs much less from their custom Of
tea-imbibing than from their habit Of
eating beefsteaks and muttOn-chOps for
breakfast.
AS regards England and America, it is
hard TO see that the consumption of tea
IS immOderate, that it has injured the
health OF the community, or that it has
diminished the native grace and DIGNITY
Of English women. Envy, malice, and
all uncharitableness are much more con-
ducive to indigestion than five O'Clock

The Chinese navy is a force by no
means to be despised, should any com

Squadron includes two ironclads of {, $50

much smaller, turret-ship, two deck
protected cruisers, and numerous tor

are nine cruisers, ranging from I, 300 to

is an armOred frigate of $3.50 tons, be-

MholesnIe ConversIon.

An eminent lady missionary in Bur-
nah recently gave DR.. A. j. Gordon an
instructive but somewhat startling chap
ter of her experience. In one of her
tours, she said, she came upon a village
where cholera was raging. Having with
her quantity of a famous painkiller,
she went from house to house admins
tering the remedy to the invalids, and
left a number of bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: Teacher, we have come
over to your side; the medicine did US so
much good that we have accepted your
God" OverlOyed at this news, she was
conducted to the house Of her informant,
who, opening a room showed her the
painkiller bottles sOlemnly arranged in
q row upon the shelf, and before them
the whole company Immediately pros
trated themselves In worship.

in Different Ways.
At the present day the manner Of the
worlds tea-drinking may be rapidly sur
veyed and briefly summarized. The
Chinese and Japanese enjoy the decOc-
ton OF the herb just as their forefathers
have done for numbered generations.
The AnglO-Indians have their early
cup OF tea with thin slice of bread and
butter, the snack being known as the
-chOta hazri, at five or six in the morn
ing, a good two or three hours before
breakfast, at which last-named meal tea
may vie with coffee as a beverage; and
again, in Anglo-Indian society, the ket-
tledrum, or five o'clock meal, takes a
conspicuous place.
European Russians of the cultured
classes drink immOderate quantities of
tea in tumblers, without sugar or milk,
but with the Zest Of a slice OF lemon
peel, at all hours of the day Among the
peasantry and the artisans the coarser
kind OF black tea is extensively patron
lied.
