What You Should Do if Foreign Body
Enters There.

What You Should Do If Foreign Body
Enters There.
A most alarming accident, and one
which is often as serious as 1t looks, is the
sucking into the windpipe of morsel OF
food or some other substance. This is not
very rare accident especially with chill
dren, whose hold all, after the pockets are
orammed, is usually the mouth.
The articles which have been drawn into
the larynx through the sudden taking OF
deep breath are of the most varied char
acter, such as jaokstones, nuts, marbles,
coins, buttons and pins, not to mention
burs, corks, tin whistles, leeches, shawl
pins, hairpins, false teeth and even real
tooth which slipped from the forceps just
as it had been extracted. Pieces OF food
are sometimes inhaled through hearty
laughing or excited talking while eating.
The entrance of the foreign substance,
even If 1t Is only water, causes violent
coughing and spasmodic closing OF the
larynx, which almost amounts to sutfoca-
ton. II the body has passed through the
larynx into the windpipe, or has been
thrown out, this suffocative attack passes
off, and the sufferer may think his trouble
Is over
Sometimes 1t is, If the coughing has ex-
PEELED the intruder, but if this has fallen
below the larynx the condition is very
serious. The body may be expelled during
another violent fit Of coughing, but often
it can be removed only by the operation
of opening the windpipe, known as ira
cheotomy.
The danger of the accident depends
much upon the size and nature of the sub
stance inhaled; if 1t is hard, smooth and
rounded body, such as a melon seed, a
small marble or pebble, or the like, there
is a very good chance that 1T may be ex-
PEELED in the same way it entered.
To favor this expulsion the patient
should lie down, with the head lower than
the feet, OF he may be held up for min
ute or two by the heels, in order to get the
assistance of the force of gravity. This.
however, should only be done If the doctor
is at hand to perform tracheotomy as a
last resort because the foreign body may
become fixed In a narrow part of the
larynx and so cause suffooation.- Youth &
Companion.

Eat Slowly and Be Merry.

At recent meeting of medical men DR..
F. A. Burial spoke Of the amount Of mis-
chief done by the very common habit OF
eating the meals rapidly, according to the
farmers motto Of "quiek to eat and quick
to work" Thorough mastication was OF
the utmost Importance, and, OF course,
this presupposed proper condition of the
teeth. Gastric digestion was often weak
ened and much distress was caused by the
ingestion of too much fluid with the food,
particularly at the beginning OF the meal.
Another factor in causing dyspepsia was
the habit Of eating food in silence, OF
without that mirth and good fellowship
SO necessary to insure nervous condition
favorable to the normal action of the di-
gestive organs. These little details might
seem trite and unimportant, but it was
the duty of the careful physician to IN
struct his patients in regard to them. The
long continued and free use of digestive
agents served to make the digestive or
CANS lazy and inactiye.-Medical Record.

CIENEGA'S DARK HISTORY.
The Band of Cutthroats That Once In.
tested the Arizona Station.


tested the Arizona Station.
Those who can remember back to 1872
and thereabout in this part of the terri
tory recall that Cienega Station had re-
markably tragic history.
1t was once the abode of a small though
desperate band of misunderstanding the
employees of the stage company-who
posed as honest hosts while operating
nriyote graveyard for unfortunate travel
ers not unlike nor inferior to that which
has clothed tho name of Bender with it's
worldwide terror and abhorrence. 1t was
the most important station between Tue
son and Silver City on tho old Butterfeld
stage route that ran between San Diego
and Ell Paso.
The tragic mysteries of Cienega Station
were never entirely cleared up, for muir
ders and robberies and hold ups Iollowea
so swiftly on the heels of each other that
the real noiscreants were never dealt with
by the authorities.
That their crimes were avenged, now
ever, as crimes always are, is shown In the
Indian massacre which occurred there IN
the fall of 1873 One dark night the
Apaohes gathered in silence on the sur
rounding hills, and at daybreak, with
whoop and yell, they rushed in on the lit
tie band at the station and massacred all
If any escaped, no one knows who it was
or where he went, and the presumption
is that all were killed. On little knoll
back of the station are the mounds of 10
unknown graves marked by a single shaft
that tells the work of the avengers. Most
of the crimes perpetrated by the white
men at Cienega were laid to the door of
the Apaches and 1t was afterward found
that moccasins were kept by the robbers
as part of their highway paraphernalia.
The most widely known crime of the
Cieneea fends was the capture of $4,000
en- route from RI Paso to San Diego In
charge of small government guard.
These were funds of the United States
paymaster, and the three men who at
tempted to convey them in blackboard
past Cienega Station were murdered on
the spot. 1t was known that this crime
was perpetrated by Americans disguised
as Apaches.
At this time it was impossible for these
Cienega Benders to get out Of the country
with their treasure, SO most of it was
buried in secret Then came the Apache
avengers. Often since then idle prospect
ors have made vain searches for the hid
den Recommendations Gazette.

gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PNKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. 1 had leucorrhma badly, and a
terrible bearing-downi pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
ell the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
~ took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition.
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. l sent at once for a bottle Of
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that r
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.

female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience

London, August 10.-The correspondent
of the Times at Cavite with Gen. Greene s
brigade under date of August says:
"a heavy southwest monsoon has been
blowing since Sunday and deluges Of rain
have greatly increased the difficulties OF
the landing and movements of the United
States troops and multiplied the discom-
forts in camp which were already almost
uncomfortable. AS I anticipated, Gen.
Greene's brigade is the focus of active
land campaign. Already the troops are
in constant and close touch with the
enemy. On Friday morning battalion
consisting of the list Colorado under
Lieut.. Col Mccoy, with four guns of the
Utah battery, commanded by Capt
Young, grandson of the Mormon prophet,
occupied the line so yards in advance of
the insurgents between the beach and
Gale Real, and 1900 yards from formid'
able earthwork, situated on the southe IN
end of Malate. After 16 hours of con-
tinuous labor the work of enJrsnchment

ENGLAND's INTEREST IN CHINA

London, August 9-The degree of In
terest and appreciation of the importance
and possibilities of the East to which
England has been aroused Is evidenced
by the action of the Associated Cham Der
Of Commerce in commissioning Rear Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford, Conserva-
tive member of Parliament for the city OF
York, on a special mission to China.
Lord Beresford goes to investigate the
prospects of commerce and to report par
ticularly as to the extent to which the
Chinese government will guarantee the
safety of British capital already invested
and of contemplated investments. No
litter man than this enterprising business
man could be selected. His mission in
dicates the prevailing distrust of the
efficacy of Lord Salisbury's diplomacy to
conserve British commercial interests in
China. Lord Charles Beresford intends
to be gone several months.
