stomach feels the way your foot does when

stomach feels the way your foot does when
it is asleep"
DR.. Edison. who has had his own stomach
washed out several times, admits that the
idea is rather uncanny at first thought, but
consider, he argues, how much more senst-
BILE it is as a means Of purging and cleans-
ing the stomach thar the use Of vile medi
cines.
He has one patient of whom he is proud,
She is the pioneer among the subjects of the
new treatment. When she began it's use
she was run down, which means that her
stomach and her blood were in bad condi-
ton. Two months q she weighed ITO
pounds. Now she weighs 100, and her good
appetite promises a further increase in her
avoirdupois, while after eating she has the
blissful experience Of not realizing that she
has a stomach at all.
This sounds like a patent medicine ad-
vertisement. 1t is not. There is no patent
on warm water and a rubber tube. The
comparison Of the human body to q steam
engine is not new. Well, in the human en-
CINE the stomach is the firebox, and when
the frebox is out Of, order there is bound to
be trouble in all the other parts. Probably
If every n masticated his food properly
and took sufficient exercise at all times
there would be no such VOID as dyspepsia
in the dictionary of medic..e. But the con-
trary is true. Here medical science steps in
and tries to aid the man who has been too
busy to pay proper attention to his health.
Particles of food which do not digest re-
main in his stomach. They become putre-
fed and have an i'll effect upon the blood,
tissue and flesh. The firebox is out of or
der, the aues are stopped up, and then we
hear that familiar sentence, Doctor, Pm
all run down." Now, what doctors are 60
ing to do in the future is to clean out the
tirebox so that nature will have a clear path
to go on with her functions.
IF we had known this in time. Mr..
Blaine would be alive today" said DR.. Ed
son. Here we were puzzling our brains
over medicines when lying almost at u
feet. as it were, was the simplest of rem
edies, and the only remedy which would
have cured him. There are many other
prominent men, now dead. who might still
be living had they enjoyed the opportunity
of having their stOmachs washed"
1t is not intended that you should only
have your stomach washed when you have
dyspepsia. The hope is to prevent dyspep-
STA as well as cure it. If we are to believe
the doctors, one should nave his stomach
washed every two months or so, Just as he
has a dentist attend to his teeth at inter-
walls to remove the tartar and to see il there
are any new cavities.
1t won't be long before q man meeting q
friend on the street will hear him say: In
q hurry, old man. l feel all out OF sorts.
and I'm going to have my stomach laun-
dered.'-New York World.

Science has done we'll, but her work has
only just begun.
She has not yet discovered a cure fordeaf-
ness or devised a simple, portable >contriv-
ance which, fitted into the ear, will over
come deafness. Possibly the germ Of tho
appliancei is yet to be found in the telephone
or ~phonograph.
She has not yet produced an effective and
permanent cure for badness. How would
it do to try grating from normal hairy
scalps to barren ones?
She has SO far failed to discover a cure for
cancer or for Bright's disease. Here the
science Of medicine and of surgery halts,
perplexed but not hopeless.
Science has not yet solved the problem
of aerial navigation. She presses forward
in the processes of invention and discovery,
but the air currents whisper, mot yet! Not
yetr'
She has not yet fathomed the material
mysteries Of ome and meteors. The
armament at night blazes with defiance to
her students and their majestic hypothesis.
Science reluctantly confesses itself baf-
fled, halted, helpless to explain the great
mysteries which stand just before the be-
ginning and just behind the end Of the
phenomena called life.
Science offers no conclusive exposition Of
the origin and dispersion of c~yclonic
storms.
She has evolved no specific for diphtheria
or for consumption.-New York Herald.

WASHING THE STOMACH.
A Simple Little Invention That Is
Very Popular With the
Doctors.
A Rubber Tube and Warm Water
Any Ono May Easily
Procure.
Department Thinks Of "Launder-
jng the Stomaoh,"

Laundering the stomach" is one of the
newest things in medical practice. If the
wiseacres are to be believed, it means q
revolution in the treatment of dyspepsia.
DR.. Cyrus Edison. DR.. Delafield and a few
other well known doctors have tried it
with such u%ndeniably successful results as
to convince them that at last a remedy has
been discovered for this most exasperatinp
affection. The good nature of mankind
will be ,c~orrespondingly improved in con-
sequence.
Laundering the stomach is a medical
slang phrase not to be too literally taken
by dyspeptics. 1t does not involve the
washing or ironing Of the organs of diges-
ton in the sense that the terms are used in
most households on Monday.
The idea of washing the stomach, or, to
be more exact, the idea of rinsing it out
with warm water, originated in Paris, like
many other of the good things in life. In
Paris it was used with most gratifying re-
suits in the treatment of celebrities who
were chronic sufferers from dyspepsia. Re-
Gently DR.. Edison and other New York prac-
titioners got hold of it, and sitter 10 weeks
experimentation they declare without hest
tation That within a years time the physi-
clan who does not take in laundry work
will be far behind the times.
The operation consists of nothing more
or less than thrusting a small rubber tube
down your esophagus into your stomach
and pouring in through the tube a quart
OF warm water, which is afterward siphoned
out In much the same way as the farmer
empties the contents of one cider barrel
into another.
Inc average human stomach holds q
quart, although bihulous persons often do
not recognize this limit. Therefore a quart
or warm water constitutes a dose" and
four doses are given TO the patient at each
treatment. The water Is allowed to re-
main in the stomach for a brief space, dur
ing which a gentle rinsing movement goes
on, nature lending the doctor a helping
hand, as she invariably does when she
agrees with him.
The apparatus required for the treat
ment consists of a soft rubber tube six feet
in length, a rubber funnel, a receiving ba-
sin, a pitcher, a gallon of water and a SEN
sible doctor. 1t is no small trick to put q
rubber tube down a human esophagus,
nor. for that matter. Is it a trick to be at
tempted by a novice who, in all likelihood,
would get the tube into the windpipe in.
stead Of the esophagus. The patient
throws back his head so that his esophagus

The doctor thrusts the tube in slowly, and
1t slides down The mucus lined canal as
easily as ii 1t were a spoonful of Christmas
pudding and the subject a 5-year-old boy.
The patient experiences a feeling of full
ness, which is not strange in view of the
fact that his stomach contains q quar- of
filtered Croton. When the water has been
pumped out, he is hungry. After the treat
ment is finished he is q trife weak, and in

oF every county in tho state of Missouri.
and Andrew county in particular, the
latter for thousands II dollars, was de
;:itie.i by the supreme court and tire
citizens Of Savannah were not cogniZaut
of i. until this week.
Thirty thousand dollars in outs,and-
ing county warrants, held by citizens
w,th 10 hope os collection, for years
past, are being resurrccted from thri-
mraty hiding places, and the holders
!,sra grown jub:iaut in anticipation.
Tho caso il Point is q curious one and
,lates back over ten years.
Ia 1S3I sev.rs storms swept over
Missouri. In Anircw county bridges
and roads were damaged 10 such aH OK
tent that the annual revenue WIS found
wholly inadequate to meet tie
,!ruf; made upon it for repairs. War
rants in excess OF the income OF the
cou were issued.
Succeeding years disclosed that the
debt could not easily be removed and
it was decided to liquidate and take up
the outstanding warrants iii their
chronological order. This plan. WAS pu.
in operation. Eight years elapsed aud
instead OF the debt being wiped out,
warrants to the amount of about $50
600 were outstanding. most Of them,
however, under the process in opera
ton being of date Of recent years ard
for sur dry services.
In 1870 the present county treasurer,
Jacob .Schell, was elected to Office. He
at once declared that no more back
debts would be paid, As it WAS contrary
to the statutes of the state, which pro
vide that the expenses OF any county
shall not exceed the revenue for any
year. Farther payment of outstanding
warrants was stopped. Parties who had
received them in the regular way had
been in the habit of casning them ut Il
reduction. hence numbers were held 10y
single individuals.
Last Wednesday a resident of Savan-
nah discovered in the supreme cour:
decisions an opinion that seemed to fit
the Andrew county case. 1t was case
from Caldwell county wherein Il citizen
had rendered the county collector n
county warrant of the year ls.p in pay
n.ent OF taxes for 1882. The collector
refused TO accept 1t. The case went in
t. The courts. and finally TO the supreme
court, where a decision was rendered to
the effect that the warrant must be
paid. ST. doe News.
