ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created Tor one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back oi
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty tour
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect Of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon

THE WORD OF GRATITUDE.


BARRE, W., July II, 1898.
For the past four years I have been
an invalid, suffering from erysipelas
and blood poisoning; also from paraly-
sis. have paid out hundreds of dollars
for medicine and doctors and have de-
rived but little benefit. | came to
Barre some over month ago, when my
condition was most deplorable one
my eyesight had nearly failed me and
my general health was so much impair
ed that was confined to my room most
of the time; my suffering was intense.
My husband heard OF Prof. Wilkins and
his wonderful cures and persuaded me
to 90 and see him, which did and COM
menced treatment with him at once. 1t
has now been three weeks since took
my first treatment and am feeling like
new woman; my general health is
much improved; my eye sight has inn
proved so that | can read the news
papers with pleasure. / can't find words
to express my happiness, but can say that
it is simply marvellous what has been
done for me in SO short time. 1t gives
me much pleasure to recommend Prof.
wilkins and his method of treatment to
suffering humanity.

Transplanting Muscles.

The wonders of surgery will, it seems,
mover cease. Among the most important
achievements is the transplanting OF
muscles. This has been successfully
done in the case of patient who had
for half lifetime been unable to use
one leg on account of paralysis occur
ring in early childhood. The operation
is thus described: "a six inch longi-
tudinal incision is made on the inner
side of the thigh, with the middle op-
posite the top of the patella. The sarto-
RUS is dissected out, cut off at it's in
sertion, brought forward and attached
to the muscular fascia just above and q
little to the inner side of the patella.
1.-THE attachment must be made firmly
by splitting the fascia and drawing the
muscle through, so that it becomes adj
herent to both inner and outer surfaces
Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures,
being the best material. The wound is
then closed, and the whole thigh is
bandaged, and finally plaster of paris
bandage, or long Eplint, is applied.
The patient is kept recumbent for two
weeks at least, gentle motion is COM
menced at the end Of three weeks, and
the plaster is entirely omitted at the
end of from five to six weeks. This op-
Grafton has been performed several times
with great success, the only failures &C.
curing where the muscles were imper-
fectly attached. This state of things
was entirely remedied, however, in the
later operations. New York Ledger.

Guatemala.

Guatemala might easily sustain ten
times its present population. The soil is
rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike
the other Central American republics,
there is plenty of labor. Some parts of
the country are quite thickly populated,
but the others are covered with dense
forests and variety Of timber. which
might be easily made marketable if
means Of transportation were provided
But, although Guatemala is much
further advanced than the rest of Cen
trail America, her railway system does
not exceed $50 miles; there is no inter
nal navigation, and the wagon roads are
in deplorable condition. The mineral
wealth Of the country is supposed to be
large, but it is only slightly developed
The mines are inaccessible, and, in the
absence Of modern machinery, which at
present cannot be conveyed to them,
cannot be worked with profit.
The government offers generous in
ducements to immigrants. The land
laws are liberal, and efforts have been
made from time to time to secure the
establishment Of colonies and the pre-
emption Of public lands by private set
tiers. But all the accessible area is at
present occupied, and no foreigner can
expect to prosper in Guatemala unless he
has abundant capital which will enable
him to purchase at high prices planta.

CHANGES AT CITY PARK.
AN OCTOGON FOUNTAIN WILL BE ERECT

The street commissioners have decid-

fountain instead of circular one. The
fountain will cost about $500 and will
be a big improvement to the park. The
fountain will be made of iron and the
basin of granite.
The ladies have funds enough to lay
concrete walks through the park with
the exception of one strip from the
fountain to the street i'm the direction
of DR.. Camps house. Two we'll known
citizens have offered to pay for that,
which will probably cost in the neigh
