SOLDIERS j. OF TWO WARS
Deputy Surgeon General Smart
Gives Comparative Figures
ON MORTALITY FROM SICKNESS.

In the War Between the States the
Death List From Disease Far Ex-
ceedcd That For the Same Period In
the War Against Spain. II
Washington. Nov. 22.-Colonel' Charles
Smart deputy surgeon general of the
army. has sent a communication to
Surgeon General Sternberg. comparing
the deaths from sickness in the war
with Spain and in the civil war. He
says in part:
IN reply to your inquiry l can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
was not relatively SO great as that
from which our volunteer troops suf-
fered during the civil war.
I'm April 1861, President Lincoln
called for 5000 volunteers, but 1t was
not until July %. when his call for
100000 was made, that we had armies
comparable in size with those recently
in existence. Beginning. then. with
July. 1861 when we had medical re-
ports from regiments aggregating only
69,1lS men. and including August, Sep
TENDER. October and November, five
months, we find recorded a loss by,
death of 3.O75 men in the reports sent
in by medical officers from an average
strength present of 1850 men, or
1871 deaths out of every thousand men
during that period of five months. VI;
IN April. 1898, President Mckinley
called for 125,0OO men, and later for
$4,000, which. with an increase In the
regular army and the immune and
n 4, toto
of over 100000 men. Beginning with
May. 1898. for which month we have
medical reports in the Office of the sur,
geon general of the army from regl-
ments aggregating .6S6 men, and In
Guiding June, July August and Sep
TENDER, five months, we find on file q
loss by death of only LIS men report
ed by medical officers, in an average
strength of 167,1GS men, or 1881 deaths
out of every thousand men during that
period of five months.
Mortality from disease reached its
maximum in the camps of our civil war
only at the end ten months, If we
count from July, 1861. or at the end of
u months IL we count from May, 1881,
when 4756 men had been buried out
of every thousand of strength present,
or. to put it otherwise, the maximum
monthly mortality was reached only
after ten or twelve months Of suffer-
ing. during six Of which the mortality
was greater than that of the disease
which did so much harm in August
last. In that month the country be-
came excited over the hysteric utter
ances of yellow journalism, with 4.0s
deaths per thousand. and the morale of
the army became broken by making the
volunteer believe that never in the
history of armies had men suffered
from disease as he and his companions
had suffered. Yet 81 years ago the
flower of the manhood Of this country.
after months of deadly losses, suffered
in April, 1862, more than twice the loss
incurred in August last and instead Of
going home on sick furlough they GRID
ed up their loins for the attack on
Richmond by way of the peninsula"

A wreck at sea is not the only place
where life line is of importance.
There is life line for the sick, as we'll as
for the drowning man. It is DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not a
cure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head Of number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
invigorate the liver and promote the as
similation of the live giving elements of
the food. The Golden Medical Discov
cry" accomplishes all these things.
"a young man lay pale and motionless upon
(what neighbors cailed) his dying bed Disease
of the lungs, liver plant kidney trouble, and
peurisy were fast Fastening him to the grave.

DREAD 70 SAVE FROM DROWNING.
A Superstition That Prevents Res-
cues That Could lie Made Easily.

A strong antipathy once prevailed to
rescue a drowning man, the idea being
that the person saved would sooner or
later do some sort of injury to the man
who preserved his life. Sir Walter Scott
In THE Pirate" tells how Bryce the
pedder, refused to help MOrdaunt save
the shipwreoked sailor from drowning and
even demonstrated with him on the rash
ness of such deed
Are you mad, " said the pcddler, "you
that have lived sac lang i'm Zetland, TO risk
the saving of a drowning man2 Wot ye
not, If ye bring him to life again, he will
be sure to do you some injury2"
This prejudice, which was deeply rooted
among our seagong community in many
parts of the country, existed not very long
ago in Cornwall. 1t Is found, too, among
French sailors and the boatmen of the
Danube and is widely credited in Russia
Mr.. Barry in his Ivan at Home gives a
striking instance Of the repugnance of the
Russians to saving life from drowning.
One day drunken man walked into the
water and disappeared. A number of spec
tators stood by and gazed on the scene
with the utmost Indifference, but no one
tried TO rescue him. court of inquiry
was held but as on examination no cross
! was found on his neck q verdict was
! quickly agreed upon by the villagers, who
declared that the man was drowned be-
cause he had no cross upon his neck"
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks from
snatching drowning man from the wa
ters, fearing that the water demon will
take away his luck In fishing and drown
him at the first opportunity. This is a
lingering survival of the ancient signifl
canoe of this superstition, the explanation
being that the water spirit is naturally
angry at being despoiled of his victim and
henoeforth bears a special grudge against
the unluoky person who has dared to
frustrate him. Thus when some one is
drowned in Germany the remark is made,
"The river spirit claims his yearly sacri-
fee, or "The nix has taken him"
Out Of Europe also the accidental
! drowning of a person is attributed to q
similar seizure, and the Siamese breads
| the Pnuk, or water spirit, that seizes
bathers and drags them under to his
dwelling. The Sioux Indians have a sim
| liar fancy and tell how men have been
drowned by Unk -Tahe, the water monster.
| For the same reason, 1t appears the
Kamtschadales, far from helping a man out
| of the water, would drown him by force.
If rescued by any chance, no one would
receive him into his house or give him
food
The Chinese reluctance TO save q man
from drowning arises from quite differ
ent belief 1T being supposed that the spirit
of person who has met his death In this
way continues to fit along the surface of
the water until it has caused by drowning
the death of fellow creature. A China
man therefore who attempts to rescue an
other from drowning is considered to in
cur the hatred of the uneasy spirit which
is desirous, even at the expense OF a man IS
life, to escape from its wanderings. .-Bos'
