The cause Of nine-tenths Of the sick.

From this one cause come indigestion;
disorders Of the stomach, liver and

the worst case OF constipation and

We have been asked why we did not
publish The details of the branding OF
the incOrrigible negro inmate at the
Hutchinson reformatOry, By the Ofiic-
ialS, who were trying to subdue him,
which was given to the public last
week in lurid form by the Yelling
ton Mail. Our answer was that the
source from which 1t emanated did not
justify publisher who had any re.
gard for the truth in republishing
such sensational article. Every
body knows Andy Richards as a notO-
riouS and irresponsible liar, and it is
surprising that people who know his
character will license and encourage
such disreputable course by taking
MS paper, even though it is sold
cheaper than Jayne's Almanac. Andy,
however, in this Hutchinson case,
came nearer the truth than usual.
The negro was actually subdued by a
RED not iron being thrust Into bis cell
but according to the statement Of w.
J.'LlngenfelIer, chairman of the re-
fOrmatory board, the negro, who was
stripped aud examinedin his presence,
did not have his abdomen burned anO
the rest of his anatomy punctured
full of red hot holes, as the Daily Mai
stated. The negro had his hand
burned by voluntarily grasping the
iron where he thought it cool and try
ing 10 wrench it from the guards
Otherwise he received not burn. Ii
is bad enough as 1t is, without magni
flying for political effect; but it would
not satisfy Andy to stop short of 8
point blank lie.-SOuth Haven New
