Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1893-07-28

EARLY last month, in the little town OF
Muscatine, Iowa, the houses of three citi-
zens were torn badly, and one completely
destroyed, by some explosive, probably
gunpowder. There were some eis hteen
persons in the three dwellings at the time
shortly after Notwithstanding num-
Der of women, and their escape from death
was very strange One of the houses be-
longed to the editor of prohibitionist pa
per, another to an attorney, and the third
to citizen, all of whom had been engag-
ed in suits against liquor sellers in the
town. The crime, which was as dastardly
as can be imagined, was generally and
reasonably charged upon the liquor sellers.
A reward of $40, 900 was offered for the de-
lection of the offenders. but, so far as we
are informed, in vain. The prohibitionists
are naturally very angry, and in their an
ger they denounce all who oppose prohi-
bition, including Gov. BOies. There they
make serious mistake. The crime was
bad enough, and the guilty, if caught,
should suffer the utmost penalty. But a
man may share the criminals disapproval
of prohibition without approving his crime.
We may concede-what is true-thas the
liquor business is demoralizing in its ten
dency, and that the percentage OF lawless-
ness is fer larger among liquor drinkers
than among those who never drink liquor,
ut it does not follow that prohibition is
the only, or even the best, preventive OF
the crimes to which liquor drinking tends
Prohibition does not always work well. In
some communities it does not work at all.
To recognize these simple facts does not
imply sympathy with cowardly scoundrels
who seek to kill their opponents by blow
ing up their houses. There is room for
temperance even in the fight against
"Rum."
If you decide to buy Hoods Sarsapar-
lila, do not be induced to take any other
medicine.
ANY ply sician who forbids patients to
eat bread is likely to be pointed out as a
crank, and to lose great deal of practice.
However, some do it, and claim that ex-
cellent results follow. The now famous
DR.. Salisbury has become quite heroic in
this matter. Patients who have fibroid tu-
mors, enlarged glands, catarrh oft head,
stomach or bowels, enlarged or stiff joints,
excessive discharges of tough phlegm from
the lungs, suffering from serious kidney
disorders or general debility, due to lack
of nutrition on account of imperfect diges
to give up all food except chopped, lean
beef, and all drinks except hot water.
This is heroic, but it is certainly effective
in many instances where medicine has fail
ed.
From one to two pounds Of beef may be
eaten daily, and from one-half to one gal
lon of hot water drank during the same
time. Those who are following this hero
ic form of treatment say il is in no way
unpleasant, and the results are certainly
very gratifying.
The philosophy of the treatment is that
the water, which is the best known solvent
| for fibrin, dissolves it and facilitates its
elimination from the system, while the
red beef-the round steak-furnishes all
| the essential blood elements with the
smallest percentage of fibrin, and of sub-
| stances that ierment readily.
1t is said that il fibroid tumors melt rap
| idly under this treatment, that deposits OF
fibrin are quickly dissolved and washed
ont, and that catarrhs cease for want Of
substance.
