NEW ADvEnT1sEmENrs
THE CAUSEOF
APPENDICITIS
HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
How II Will Be Prevented in
the Future.

Until within the past few months the
cause Of appendicitis has been attributed
20 the swallowing OF grapes. tomato,
cherry and other fruit seeds which were
supposed to lodge In the appendix and
set up an Inflammation, but after operat-
Ing upon thousands of cases ana finding
no sign Of any Irritating substance, the
medical profession began to look further.
They We're not long In discovering that
Intestinal Indigestion, only, was the true
canse; but here again they were brought
face to face with germ disease for
which they had no cure. Like the germs
OF disease which cause Catarrh. Bronchi-
tbs and Consumption, this bacilii could
not be reached except by one germicide
strong enough to kill them without In
jury to the patient. The question then
arose. could this germicide be given
effect as 1t did In disease OF the air pas
saaes. Experiments were made during
the past summer, aud IL was proven TINT,
combined with other remedies for dyspep-
sia, Hyomei acted like charm and was
equally as efflcacious In destroying these
germs as those Of Catarrh, Bronchitis
and Consumption. This discovery re-
suited In tho placing Of Hyomei Dys.
pepsia Cure ON the market, and now for
the first time in the history of the medi-
cine q cure treating each kind OF dyspep-
sia separately is given to the public. In
testiual Indigestion, the most dangerous
OF all can now be successfully treated
and the national disease, dyspepsia,
which has increased yearly in spite of all
s0-called cures, can now be completely
eradicated and appendicitis prevented.
HYOrIEI DYSPEPSIA CURE
Is the only one ever guaranteed to cure.
1t Is unlike any other, as 1t treats each
phrase of the disease separately, and con-
tains the only Rermicide known which
will destroy the bacilli Of this disease.

AS THE days pass the opposition to
expansion is becoming less and less
effective. 1t is losing its effectiveness
at expenditure of force, and from a
reasonable, but mistaken loyalty to
national traditions it has deteriorated
into fanaticism such as was exhibited
by the mass meeting in Chicago Satur-
day evening. When an extreme
change in manners, customs or political
policies is thrust upon the people, a
reaction invariably sets in which is
equally extreme. If, on more careful
deliberation, the change proves less
extreme than at first appeared, the
reaction is also moderated until the
normal condition is resumed. Upon
nearer view the monster of expansion
which so terrified some at first glance,
appears less threatening. Opposition
has grown so weak as to degenerate
into mere fanaticism. In this con-
dition it will steadily lose its potency
and finally disappear altogether. The
reaction which will naturally set in
after so insane and extravaganza con-
domination of the present administra-
ton and the expansion policy, as
characterized the Chicago speakers,
will be sufficiently strong to overcome
it. In fact it will probably so entirely
annihilate anti-expansion and anti
McKinleyism that they will never
reappear in their present guise. The
food of protests and Endorsements OF
Mckinley and expansion which the
denunciatlons and reasonable vituper-
atoms of that occasion called forth
from the mass of people ought to make
the leaders of the disgraceful affair
hide their heads in shame. In the END
it is bound to prosper the cause which
it thought to defeat. 1t has already
aroused spirited support of President
Mckinley and his administration which
must have remained dormant had moi
the craze of anti-expansion arisen tC
call it out.

MUST OBEY THE LAW.
Riding on the Sidewalk and Without
Lamps will Not be Tolerated.

Lamps Will MOI De 1OISTaGeQ'
Chief of Police O'Hare this morning
issued orders to all the officers which
will be of great interest to the bicycle
riders of the city. They are to the
effect that crusade will begin at once
against the action of all riders who
have been riding on sidewalks and who
have been in the habit of violating the
law by riding without the customary
lamp after nightfall. The order is a
general one and goes into effect at
once. In it's enforcement the Chief
says that no exceptions will be made
on account of age, color, sex or previous
condition of servitude, but if they are
caught riding on the sidewalk they
will be given the punishment that the
law provides.
In this order Chief O'Hare will have
the CO operation of nearly all the riders
of the city. The habit of riding with
out light is dangerous one. both to
the offender and to his fellow cyclers,
and it is hoped that the notice served
by the Chief will be sufficient to put an
end to the practice.
