GEO. HENDRICKS IN THE CITY SICK AND sHALF NAKED LAY OUT ON THE STREET LAST
 NIGHT.
Was Sent Here by Citizens of Fordyce- Cannot ..Get Any Aid From the
 County.


 Geo. Hendricks, a white man, IS fit object for charity, He came in from Fordyce last night, and lay out on the street until morning 1 lie is sick, half naked and nearly blind. He has been lying around the streets all day trying to get the aid of physician. When seen lying on the floor of the court house at noon to- day by GRAPHIC reporter he told pitiful tale. His home is in Elwo0d, Indiana, and he has been D sufferer from blood disease for many years. ltcaused him to go blind ia one eye. He was loosing the use of the other. He spent all the money he eyer had trying to cure the eye. Last fall he went down to New Orleans and en- tered hospital. He left there and has since been working his way back to Indiana. About four weeks ago he had one eye taken out, and doctors say that the other will be blind in a short while. The citizens of Fordyce raised money enough to send him here. The County Judge is outof the city and the man has no order to the county physician. Since Thursday he has been sick and his bowels are hard and swollen. He is in very pitiful condition and it is nobody's especial business to look after him.
 Our citizens and officers see such cases as this frequently, and never make any effort to establish a fund or hospital for their relief. A hospital would do as much to pro- teet our city from plague as quaran- tine regulations.

MINERAL WAITE
Why and How They Benefit Those That
 Drink Them.

Drink Them.
 When Q patient reaches q mineral water health resort, ho is examined by the resident physician and ordered to drink certain quantities of the water at certain times during tho day. These arel increased from day to day until tho. maximum quantity needed is reached.{ He is ordered to drink one or two glass; fuls upon rising, two or three glassesi between breakfast and dinner, the sama quantity iii the afternoon and q couple of glasses before going to bed The pad tient is urged to take It r h9 wants it or not. Ho may say s., .s not thirsty, but that makes no differ ence; he must take it as medicine. The quantity is increased until we have known 30 glasses per day to be taken.
 A part of the benefit derived is be- cause of the rest and change of scene. A part, perhaps, is from the small quantity of the salts and other bases contained in these waters (we arc not speaking of cathartic or chalybeate wa ters). but the benefit from this source is very slight. Tho secret of the cure is in the quantity of water taken. If the wa ter be pure, free from organic matter, and taken in sufficient quantity, the re- suits will be substantially the same, re- gardless of the traces" of lithia and small quantities of sodium chloride and other salts. You can perform these cures at home with the ordinary drink ing water, if of good quality, if you will require the patient to take 1t in tho same quantity as at the springs. It is very easy to add lithia if desired, but you must not lose sight of the fact that the quantity of water (not lithia) taken is the important thing It acts by food ing the kidneys, by washing out the bladder with oopious, bland and dilute urine, by unclogging tho liver and clearing the brain. The patient feels better from day to day; he is better. Irritable bladder is relieved, the kid news net freely-are washed out''- and many effete substances are carried out with the flood This clears the way for the liver to act freely and normally, for there is an intimate relation be- tween the liver and kidneys.
