A REMARKABLE PUBLICATION.

Sequel to the Whipping Given Spence in
Quitman County.
Mr.. ". J. Spence, of Oak Grove, Quit
man county, publishes in a Cuthbert pa
per libel making amends for very de
fdmaJOry statements made of a young la
dy of the neighhorhoOd. He declares now,
and in the prints, that the statements
be made were false. The publication is
a most remarkable. one.
The card was sequel to an affair that
went before. Mr.. Spence was waited on
by a party of the young lady's friends,
and he was, so the story goes, severely
punished. 1t is said he was whipped
with buggy trace taken from his own
horse and afterwards signed the libel
prepared for him. The young ladys
father is dead and her neghbors took up
her quarrel, which seems to have been a

Of th9 rise of wheat upon the cause of

tba argument on the enemies of bimetal-

THE rise in wheat will aid rather than

Among the Roman women at one
period there was a morbid ambition to
grow boards, and they used to shave
their faces and smear them with ungu-

time to such an extent did the mania
for boards grow upon women that it
was found desirable to pass a law

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, 1t is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
It is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gica1 operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

Here Is case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, WILL was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. 1t
gave him great deal of pain, and con-
tinueds to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
CATER much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.

bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.

now seventeen years old, and has never

turn"
