The Dangerous splitting Nuisance.

Drs. Herman Biggs and T. Mitchell
Pruden, the Health Board pathologists,
have prepared a report on the practice
of splitting in public places and convey
ances, which, in their opinion, is re-
sponsible for the dissemination of dis
eases, such as consumption, pneumonia,
Influenza, diphtheria. scarlet fever,
measles or whooping cough. That the
practice is merely a habit, and not a ne
cessity, is shown, they say, by the large
number of men who are free from it.,
and the insignificant number of women
who are addicted to it. The practice
should be abated, and could be with the
assistance of the community. Accom-
panylng the report are resolutions pro-
viding that signs should be placed in
elevated and surface cars and on the
stations of elevated roads, signed by the
Health Board, and warning the public
against the practice These signs
should also be put in municipal and
Federal buildings. And authorities and
elevated roads should be requested to
provide spattoons in public places The
resolutions also ask the Manhattan Ele-
waited Railway to give orders to guards
to prevent passengers from splitting into
the street.-New York Medical Record.

A Constant Visitor.

Pain is a constant visitor of persons
troubled with chronic rheumatism. This
unwelcome guest will, however take its
departure, and not renew his visits if a
writ of ejectment is served upon it through
the agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, the most efficient blood depurent
and anodyne to rheumatic twinges known
to medical science. No testimony in its
behalf is more positive and conclusive
than that which proves it's efficacy in rheu-
matte complaints. 1t is also conspicuously
efticacious for malarial, nervous bilious.
dyspeptic and kidney disorders 1t pro-
notes appetite and sleep, and is particu-
larly useful to invalids recovering from

prime of life, and those suffering from a
lack of vital stamina, find it highly bene-
fetal. Give 1t persistent trial. No medi-
times, can be expected to achieve lasting
