Rabies or blood PoisOnf


Here we have the old controversy over
hydrophoba again. this time with Pro-
fessor Spitka in the negative. He de-
clares that there IS no such thing as
rabies, that what are called by that
name are simply the symptoms OF teta-
nus, or 'the many forms of deadly blood
poisoning" Well 50 be it. Whats In
a name? A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" and it may be
assumed that hydrophobia under the
name "tetanus symptoms" or any OF

ing" would prove equally fatal the
Pasteur theory Is that it Is a specific
blood poisoning. due 10 the presence OF
hydrophobia germs. just as the Jenner
theory of smallpox. the Koch theory or
tuberculosis, and some one else's theory
of tetanus ascribe those various mala-
dies TO the presence in the blood OF their
several distinctive microbes The whole
incubation theory is based upon the
principle. and the whole vaccination
theory is based upon the belief that the
serum develops certain qualities fatal to
the microbe.
Whether there is anything in the theory
of vaccination or antitoxin is as open TO
debate and discussion as the existence or
hydrophobia.
1t Is not an important question whether
the so-called hydrophobic patient is actu-
ally "water-mad' or not. IT Is enough

commissions. The important question is
whether he can be infected by the bite OF

weight OF the evidence fayors the result

STRANGE LIVES.
OF Two Fur Southwest Centeunrinns'
A Great Hear Hunter.

GATE CITY, VA. January 19.-(Spe-
cial )-Enoch Young. one Of tbs two
eccentric centenarian brothers. who lived
together their bachelor lives on the
north side OF Scott county. has at
last surrendered TO the grim conqueror.
Ii was we'll authenticated that he had
passed his 10th birthday. and that his
brother David. who survives him Is
now 1903. They owned about 1000 acres
OF land, but lived in the most crude and
primitive style, never having an article
of tableware In their house, hut simply
taking their food I'm their hands from
the vessels In which II was cooked.
They raised sheep and flax, and Enoch.
until he became too feeble. wove on an
old hand-loom all the goods from when
their clothing was made and cut out,
and fashioned all their garments with
out the aid OF a sewing-machine. David
did the cooking.
They were confirmed Sioics. disdain-
ing all luxuries, and never tolerating
any book in their house except their
mothers old Bible, which contains the
record Of their births. Their mother
died when they were quite young, ana
together they lived ever since IN a lit
tie one-story cabin about l6 feet square,
in which there is not single window.
Their singular manner of living attract
ed much attention, and many visited
them from a distance.
In their younger days game was plenti-
full I'm the country. and Enoch was
a great bear-hunter. He showed the
writer a stick on which between forty
and fifty knotches had been cut. each,
he claimed, representing IL bear he had
killed. He was a man Of powerful build,
and related many thrilling experiences
with Bruin.
one day he had shot a bear. which
tumbled into the mouth OF a hole. He
stopped down 10 pull il out, wnen sud
denly. a noise behind him caused him
to turn around to perceive n very large
bear making furiously at him. He seized
stone and dealt 1t a blow on the head,
which partially stunned ii. But it came
at him again and they grappled for
death-struggle 1T j. uncertain how the
fight would have resulted had not an
other hunter opportunely appeared and
severed the bears jugular.
David Young, since the death OF his
brother, lives IN the cabin all alone. and
family has moved into a cabin near TO
take care of him. He would not per-
NIT them to move in with him.
Judge j. y. Richmond has just had
very large carbuncle taken from his hip.
1t has been very painful to him, but he
thinks now he will soon be able to be
out again.
Nearly every one in this section Is
suffering with Ia grippe. and p,any cases
OF pneumonia are reported.
