Kingston Independent "The
death of the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Campbell which occurred
Tuesday at Wallace has excited
curiosity as to the cause of her
death. 1t seems that the child
has been seriously i'll for some
time, and despite the advice of
neighbors that a physician be
summoned. the family relied on
the Christian Science treatment.
The Campbell family telegraph
ed to Mrs. Cheney, a faith cure
fanatic, at Portland, for advice,
but she refused to treat the case.
The neighbors are very indignant
and legal prosecution will be in
voked."
John Mcdonald died atSalmon

He was formerly Probate Judge
of Lemhi county.
Quite a number of our people
are down with measles. It is not
dangerous disease, although it
proves fatal at times. Zell's En-
cyclopedia give the following ex-
planation of the word
Measles-(meztz,) H., with
plural termination. d. mdzelen;
Ger. maser, spot, speck, pl. mas
el1, the measles. (Aed. A con-
tagious fever of an infiammatory
type, attended with a character
istic eruption, and all the symp-
toms of VIOLENT cold, watery
discharge from the eyes and
nose, dry cough, hoarseness, &c.
It commences with the ordinary
symptoms of ver,-ehilliness,
loss of appetite, lassitude, and is
almost invariably attended with
inflammation of the mucous
membrane lining the air-passag-
es. The eruption commonly APP
pears on the fourth day; at first
about the head and neck, then
the trunk and arms, and finally
reaching the lower extremities.
1t takes two or three days to
completeits coarse, and when it
reaches the feet and legs, it has
usually begun to disappear from
the face. At the end of six or
seven days from their first APP
pearance, the papules have again
disappeared. The eruption con
sists of little papules somewhat
resembling flea bites, of a dark
red color. When the eruption
is fully out, the cough, at first
dry and troublesome, generally
becomes softer and less frequent.
All ages are liable to attack,
though infants at the breast are
not so liable as those somewhat
older. 1t is not commonly a
dangerous disease, though some
times it has proved exceedingly
fatal. Where danger occurs, it
is from inflammation of the air
passages; when the disease may
become complicated with Group;
or in subjects predisposed TO
consumption, the seeds of that
disease may be developed. In
general, a simple diet, and the
maintenance of an equable tenn
perature, is almost all that is re-
quired, with, perhaps, the ex
hibition of a mild diaphoretic or
expectorant Sometimes the APP
plication of a mustard cataplasm
to the chest is of advantage.
People in Challis who have
been exposed to this disease
should be careful to not spread
it. AS we have no county Board
of Health to cause a thorough
quarantine of course this infec-
