THE DOCTORS KNIFE.

This new disease of appendicitis,
the doctors claim, is the result of
foreign substance lodging in the YER
inform appendix-an undeveloped in
testine which branches off from the
lower bowels, The 'vermifOrm" has
an inlet but no outlet, and the foreign
substance may only be removed, so
the doctors say, by opening the lower
abdomen and cutting the useless or
gan out. This sounds very plausible,
almost as plausible as the old theory
of bleeding" But it is illogical. If
appendicitis is so dangerous now it
must have been dangerous through
all the ages And yet it is only within
the past few months that the knife
has become an epidemic. The stom-
ach ache is as old as man! 1t is no
appendicitis, and not until surgeons
been doubled up for days at time,
and by the application of simple, ra-
tional remedies have survived. 1t was
not until the disease took the name of
new thing. Men have had it and have
began ripping men up like pigs that
the stomach ache became fatal.
This appendicitis business should
stop. The doctors must have a fad
that goes without saying; but the pres
ent fad is too serious. Some years
ago they had a certain kidney dis
ease. and later heart failure. Neither
of these was particularly hard OH the
public. The Developments came at
the post norton, and, aside from the
bulletins. with which the public was
afflicted. no great harm was done. But
this vivisection business under the
name of appendicitis costs more than
| it comes to. Old-fashioned calomal
pills were bad enough. but the mod
ern carving-kn is worse-Ex.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims 10 be a Bcnefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man SO
oyerftows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. de-
sires to send free to mankind q pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS 1t costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health.
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combina ton
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, Ii
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. request to II. r. Odds, Box

are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity. but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
it trial. will he answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis.
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Olds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

PNEUMATIC CUSHIONS FOR
SLEEPING CARS.

One great cause of nervous distur-
bance among travellers by rail is the
rapid flashing Of external objects be-
before the eye, connected with which al
sulting from the attempt to follow the
moving objects, and from the rapid
changes of accommodation involved in
doing so. The result is often a head
ache of truly neuralgia or migrainous
type. The cure, of course, is to pull
down the blinds. But the other great
source of trouble with which railway
travellers have to contend, vibration,
is not so easily dealt iwth. The latest
method of graphing with this most
insidious enemy of the man passes
a large proportion Of his time on the
railroad is to fit up a car with pneu-
matte cushions instead of those of the
ordinary type. Knowing travellers have
long been in the habit of providing
themselves with air cushions, so as to
save their spines from vibration and
get some rest for their heads, and it
is said that when seated on the pneu-
matte cushions now introduced a mar
ked difference is experienced with the
ordinary car seats. 1t is not, howev-
er, in the saving of vibration alone
that these rubber air beds and cush-
ions are expected to be useful. An
air mattrass is the most healthy form
of sleeping bag, and when the air is
let out, the bedding can be packed in
to the smallest possible space.
