New Terrors In Store For Sufferers From
the Little Understood Disease.
Now we are told that not only are
cancer and consumption contagious, as
well as several other diseases long re-
garded as individual, but that rheuma-
tism may be transmitted from one per-
son to another by contact as well as by
heredity. This is the more alarming be-
cause rheumatism, for which there are
more sure cures than pharmacist can
compound in week. is virtually incur
able by drugs and is the disease of all
diseases that is not understood by the
medical profession. Nobody knows ex-
actly or approximately what rheuma-
tism is. 1t is described with high de-
gree of positiveness in medical books,
but the fact that Affections wholly I'M
like are classed under the general head
Of rheumatism is proof that there is no
certain knowledge of its character. II
is found to be associated with disorders
of the throat and stomach and with dis
tinctly nervous affections. The varieties
run from muscular rheumatism to neu-
ralgia, yet as to what tissues are most
involved in the worst form of the dis
ease and in what manner they are in.
volved there are as many opinions as
there are varieties of rheumatism.
The rheumatic patient, who some
times suffers all the pangs of govt, has
hard enough time of it at best with
out being regarded as center of phys.
ical as well as moral pestilence. He j:

relations bear with these mortal infirm.
tiles because of the obvious reality Of
his sufferings. They generously put
themselves within the range and reach
of his shoes or whatever missiles he ha'
at hand, in order that he may vary thu
monotony of pain with the pleasure O
personal assault. To announce the con
tagiousness of rheumatism is to driv,
away from his bedside all sympathetic
and enduring friends. When they wit
ness the moral decay of a good man il
the clutches of this disease, they ar
| naturally disposed to save rhemselve
by flight from like condition.
What the victims of rheumatism hav,
right to maintain is that the doctor
know too little about the disease. The.

have any warrant for further dogmati
affirmations about it. If rheumatism i

eases, it will be necessary to regulate
the Turkish bath establishments as w

CITY JAIL DELIVERY.

Some time during last Friday night
there was a Jail delivery in the city
hall Jail and four prisoners made good
their escape, among them being Bill
Day and a man named Allen, both in
on the charge of vagrancy, and a
couple of Mexicans.
Through some means they secured
a hoop from a bucket and a spoon
from their dishes, and with these they
dug out one of the bricks in the wall
separating their cell from the run
around Other bricks were pulled
out and they escaped to the run around
and thence to the open air through a
window in the jailer's room.
One Of the prisoners, a Mexican,
was recaptured yesterday morning.

quoted by the mSn of peace in support
of his argument. Yes, to be sure, SAID
