HOT SPRINGS AND COLD FACTS.

HOT SPRINGS AND COLD FACTS.
W. understand that the new
free show concern that arrived in
Houma this week, with flying
banners and inumerable walls of
the double extract Of hot springs
filled directly from the boiling
springs of the neither region, has
innaugurated a campaign of cure
all by attacking the medical fra
ternity.
Quackery gives itself away, and
can no longer .delude the most
ignorant, when it seeks to be
little science. In it's endeavor to
throw mud at one Of the noblest
and most self-sacrifcing of all
professions, the so called Hot
Springs Medical Company gives
weight to its wonderful theory by
The Houma courier. (Houma, La.) 1878-1939, 1897-02-27

proving itself a fake concern OF
the foremost order.
No doubt this method is resorted
to to advertise tire concern aud
catch the ignorant, as It does not
possess merit of it owa to enable
it to use honorable and Legitimate
means iii carrying on its business,
If its remedies did possess merit it
would not be necessary to assail
the medical profession in order to
introduce them to the public.
The medical profession has stood
the assaults of charlatauism for
centuries. and it is not probable
that it will suffer any from these
fellows that go round the country
with hot springs put up in two
ounce Walls and try to create the
impression that reputable physi.
clans ARE as big humbugS as they are.

"Our young friend, George COrbln-
son of Thatchersville, was in town
again last Sunday. Rumor has it that
he he will soon lead to the altara beau
tiful belle Of SpiketoWn. George is
one of the sold young men of our neigh
boring city"
Editor Clugston had written it 'sol-
id young men," but he knew it would
be of no use to try to explain the mis-
take to the large, atheletic young wo-
man, who was approaching the office
And so when Miss Euphorbia Lick
ladder the acknowledged belle of
SpiketOwn, walked in at the front door
few minutes later and inquired in a
deep, tragic voice for the editor, Mr..
ClugstOwn was emerging from a back
alley, two blocks and half away, and

Low RATES OF INTEREST.

Information comes from New Y Ork
that gigantic financial institution is
forming which, if what is said be true,
will prove great benefit to the peo-
pie. Within few days, it is alleged,
the company will ask congress to grant
it a charter.
The purpose of the new institution
will be to loan money to the farmers of
this country, especially those of the
west and south, at greatly reduced
rates of interest. Its affairs will be
managed on system similar to that of
the Credit FanCicr of France.
OF course, it is too early in the his
tory of this movement to express an
opinion as to its merits, but on the
face of it the plan looks fair and hon
est, and if the promises of it's promOt-
erS are carried out the result will be
the bringing of relief and help to a
large number Of people. The plan Of
extending short loans to farmers on
crops Will be most beneficial, and the
granting Of these accommodation at a
small rate of interest will contribute
greatly to sustaining and reyiying the
agricultural interests.
The capital of the institution l. n
be $lOo,000,0O9, and the charter prgys.

and mortgage business Of 81 OOO. 900 900

CLOSE At SIX.

The clerks of Dawson are looking
forward to the time when the stores
will be closed at six O'Clock n the af-
ternoon with pleasant anticipation.
The custom of closing at that hour is a
commemorate one, and has, in the
past, not only been appreciated by the
clerks but worked very satisfactorily
to the merchants.
While it is doubtful if there are any
who favor a discOntinuance of the Gus
tom this summer, it is necessary that
the business men have an understand
ing in regard to it. An agreement to
close at six p. m, except on Saturdays
during the sumner months is usually
agreed to by the merchants, but so far
no agreement has been made for this
