POINTS ON osFEoPATHY

Suppose patient should cut his fin
ger then tie ligature around the base
of the finger sufficiently tight to stop
both the circu lation and nerve energy to
the wound, how long would 1t take that
finger to heal up? 1t would never heal.
You may put on as many ointments
salves, lotions, oilsilk dressings, anti
sceptie solutions as you like; but just as
long as the ligature remained you wodld
have the wound. There is only one
way to heal such a wound.
There never was but one way and
there never will be any other way to re-
build the tissue and that is by the nat
ural law OF circulation and nerve force,
the natural way, the right.
Now why should q finger be any differ
ent than the stomach. the liver, kidneys,
bowels, lungs, or any other organ or
gland.
There is no marked difference. they
work on the same general principle so il
they are unable to perform their normal
function it is because the elements Hpon
which they depend can not reach them.
All normal tissues and organs are pro-
vided with arteries sufficiently large to
supply all the blood required for their
use therefore if you have a tumor, wen,
goitre or other abnormal growth you
may know that this circulation has been
distorted by some force and thus render
ed unnatural, hepse you have these
harmful and useless formations and the
proper thing to do is to re-establish the
circulation.
Some may say, why not take knife
and cut out such growths? That would
be dangerous at least. But worse than
that you would not accomplish the end
sought, for if you only cut out that for
nation without removing the cause
which formed it, is it not reasonable to
think that such would Immediately set
to work and form another growth simi
| lar to the one just removsd9
Gray's anatomy does not mention or
describe any arteries for tho purpose Of
building growths as above mentioned,
therefore l conclude that their formation
is only made possible by badly derang-
ed circulation and nerve force.

subterfuge and while we are not
all from Missouri yet if you are in
favor of sewers we have reached
that stage where you "will have to
show u.s." that you are in favor OF
it by your own acts-two wrongs
never made a right. If you and
your associates are not willing to
transact the important business
now before the council you should
step aside and let men take your
places who will.
This city must have sewerage
and is going to get it. If the foul

with them so long as they live.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

London Ralph, describing in
the Daily Mail this morning the battle
at Modder River, says:
81 can testify that the British never
once saw the enemy, yet they were not
able to raise hand or foot without being
riddled.
Despite all this, however, the day be-
longed to the artillery. The infantry
advanced two PAGES during this day OF
hell. The shells Of our 30 guns were
accurately planted in the enemy'l
trenches, and broke the heart of the

MR. RAMEY AND COLLEAGUES.

NM. nHWEI 1bD w ~
Alderman J. H. Ramey's open
letter to The Sentinel was printed
by us last evening, because we de>
sire to be entirely fair to all parties
and do not desire to unjustly crltl-
else any one, nor to prevent any
one from setting themselves Alright
before this community. But the
excuse of Mr.. Ramey ter staying
away from council meetings this
time and thus prevention action on
the most important questions ever
before the city council. does not
justify the act on his part, nor that
of his colleagues; nor is Mr.. Ra'
mey and his colleagues who are
staying away for this alleged rea-
son, viz: the conviction or charge
of bribery of Starr and Mckinney,
consistent in all respects, but on the
contrary it smacks OF subterfuge
and scheme all through.
When Mr.. Ramey and his asso-
ciates attempted to organize the
Rump council, he and they voted
for men whom he knew would vote
for saloon license, one OF them
holding a license himself, and the
two newly elected members voting
Immediately to license saloons.
Upon the charge of which Mr.
Ramey speaks, Starr and Mekin'
ney were acquitted, and whether
right or wrong it is not MIR. Ra>
mey's fault and no one will say
that it calls for neglect of duty on
his part. Not only that but If
these matters ara to be considered
from a highly moral standpoint,
(you ask the League to investigate
and we hope it will investigate
fully, why should the League not
also investigate the fact that one OF
the men whom you insist must sit
in the council, if you attend, has
confessed in police court to keeps
ing a gambling machine and been
fined for same If the business,
which you acknowledge is OF i'm
portance TO the city and which you
state you are favorable to, viz;
sewers and all other business OF
Importance, must await the clean
ing up of these charges all
that designing parties need to do to
prevent the will OF the people is to
prefer charges and the whole ma
chinery of the city would stop, and
the will of the people be defeated.
This paper did advise that Starr
and Mckinney resign from the
council and SO advise yet, but we
nor the people will not excuse you
or other councilmen from doing
your duty if they should not re
sign. And as a fact they seem
more willing to do their duty in
these matters than many of the
others members. You could act
with them without protest the
night the licenses were granted and
also the last meeting until the
council refused to take up the one
matter you desired namely the
awarding Of the bonds to George
Currie. If you were anxious tc
have sewers why did you not take
up or ask to take up that matte
then?
No, Mr.. Ramey, your excuse il

OF the waters OF the Brazos and Little Bra
zos Rivers have been confirmed. The in
formation received here from Calvert, which
is In the midst Of the scene OF destruction,
Is meagre, but Is to the effect that over sew
enty people are missing. Some bodies have
been recovered The foods of the two
rivers came up so suddenly that the negroes
living between the water courses had no
opportunity OF escaping. They were caught
In trap and drowned.
1t is estimated that over 1000 wagon road
bridges have been washed away in the
countries comprising the flooded district.
The loss from this source alone Is very
heavy. In some counties as many as 200
bridges are gone. 1t is roughly estimated
that the floods have caused loss to crops
and railroad property to the amount OF
81 SOC, 900, but when the waters subside 1t
may be found that the loss will exceed the
present estimate many hundred thousand
Of dollars.
1t Is the first time in the history OF Texas
that all tie railroads in the State have
been pre- ctically tied up on account Of
floods. There are u few lines In the north
ern part OF the State that are still uninter-
rupted, but on all the principal roads traf-
flc Is com pletely suspended. Many costly
steel bridges, long stretches OF trestle
work, and scores OF miles OF track and
roadbed are washed away. When tue
waters subside, 1t will take the roads sew
eral weeks to make the repairs.
