Sand Cure For Dyspepsia.

sonvlilc, has eaten sand for his health
the past twenty years and seems to
thrive on it. He thinks sand is the
only medicine in the world for stom-
ach troubles, and is not at all back.
ward about recommending it TO his
friends who are suffering from dyspcp-
ia or any other affection Of the diges-
tive organs.
Il was nearly dead from dyspepsia
twenty years ago and hal lost all faith
in medicine, said Mr.. Bybcc yester-
day, when Mrs. Winner, the wife Of a
miner on the Applcgatc river in south
ern Oregon, recommended sand. Ny
body was parllyzcd below the breast,
and | was willing to take chances on
anything. | began by swallowing a
tcaspoonsful Of dry sand on going to
bed at night, and soon noticed that
J slept better than for years, though
my appetite did not increase for few
weeks. | kept on swallowing the
sand regularly until | was well. I
have used it Of and on, however, ever
since and carry vial Of dry sand
about with mc as a tonic. When
happen to Ovcr-cat or feel the need Of a
catllartic. put spoonful of sand on
my tongue and assist it down my
throat with swallow Of water. Sand
is the only medicine / have taken
since 1881, although previously my
pockets were always full Of powders
and liquids and my doctor and drug
bills were large.
How the sand cure originated MIR.
Bybec does not know, but he thinks
it evolved from the practice Of some
people in the Southern states, who
swallowed small bits of gravel as re-
medy for chills and fever. "The par
ticles of sand act mechanically on the
lining of the stomach and intestines, :"
he said, "and they carry off the sur
plus mucous from the digestive or
gans. If small pebbles are swallowed
they will remain in the stomach for
some little time until they become
coated with mucous, which they carry
off. AS the particles of sand are al
most as fine as flour, there is no dan
ger Of clogging the bowels, as there
might should the larger pebbles be
used.
Il use common river bottom sand,
and gather few quarts of it at a
time. When get it home I wash it
III several waters, in order 20 remove
all dirt and vegetable matter, and then
l dry 1t IN an oven. | have recon-
mended the remedy to hundreds Of
persons who could find no relief from
stomach troubles, and where the pre-
scrlption was faithfully followed Il
cure always resulted. | have in nv
possession now letter from wealthy
man in Quebec, who says he owes his
life to my remedy, and he wants ME
to so back there and live with him
the remainder Of my days. I do not
care to take up with his proposition,
however, as tried change of climate
for my health about % years ago and
l came near freezing to death back
East. l am II years of age now, and
| enjoy life in Southern Oregon, being
in perfect health, 80 I shall remain
here the remainder of my life. You
can tell people there is no risk what
ever in taking sand, as it cannot pos
sibly hurt them, even if it does no
good. Sand is about as cheap medi-
cine as can be taken, as all it costs is
the trouble of gathering and clean
ing. Morning Orcgoniam.

Goldsboro and other large towns in ,he
State all report much drunkenness aud
disorder during the Christmas holl.
days. the Messenger reporting "a ar
rests Tor Christmas day alone. In
Fayetteville there was but one arrest
while the public order generally was
never so good. The Fayetteville OBJ
server, in It's issue of Dec. 22d, (Satur-
day before Christmas) says:
Cup to three o'clock the police had
not made an arrest to-day for disorder
ly conduct, though every street is
packed with an enormous crowd.
Thern is of course some drunkenness.
but none are offenslyely 90 yet"
1t says In its issue of Decemoer the
26th:
"The weather yesterday was perfect,
and the day was one OF quiet enjoyment
by every one. Last night the city was
ablaze with fire works, and from every
quarter OF the town, covering a radius
of over a mile, sky rockets shot up into
the air, and the giant candle crackers
doomed forth. Never before, possibly,
was SO much powder burned in Fay
etteyille. Strange to say, there were
no serious accidents, and, though there
vas some drunkenness, it was more of
the good natured sort. Several stacks
Of hay were set on fire by sparks from
rockets, and made huge bon-fires, but
there was no necessity for the fire alarm
all day."
MORALLY.
The moral effects of the dlspensary
are everywhere visible to those who are
willing to see them, both in town and
county. The improvement is truly
marvellous. Farmers can now send
their boys and teamsters to town to
transact their business in all safety,
while under saloons they feared to do
this because of the dangers and temp.
tatlons which beset them on every
hand. That fascinating feature Of the
saloon, the treating habit, is largely
DESTROYED by the dispensary, the rules
OF which forbid the drinking of liquor
on the premises. With 20 open saloon
tempting them at every corner, the
young men of the town find 1t easier to
devote their leisure evenings to health
Ter and more profitable employment
than wasting their time in the wh!skey
saloons. On our public streets the i'm
proyement is marked. Many who live
in the country testify that they met
ten drunken men on the road when
saloons existed where they meet one
now.
In town the drunken rlff-raff which
formerly infested the sidewalks in front
of every saloon have been scattered,
ard our ladies can now travel on any
business street in town without risk of
sinult or indignity. Is not the agency
which accomplished this better than
the saloon?

TUESDAY JAN. %.

Berond the formalities and speeches
attendant upon the election OF Hon
F. NJ. Simnaons to be United States
Senator, there was little of interest in
the proceedings of the Senate.
HOUSE.-The resolution inviting
Dr. J. l.. NJ. Curry, the agent OF the
Peabody fund, to address the General
Assembly was made the occasion OF a
sensational debate, which occupied
nearly two hours. Leading Democrats
vigorously fought the passage OF the
resolution because il was alleged that
DR.. Curry used his influence in behalf
OF Congressman Richmond Pearson il
tho contes: against w. T. Crawford. 1t
was charged that DR.. Curry lobb;ed IN
Washington In behalf of Mr.. Pearson.
The fight over the adoption of the
resolution was a lively one and there
were many sharp passages among
members on the floor of the House.
The Republicans were a unit in sup
port OF the resolution. The opposition
mustered 13 votes on roll call of
votes.

CONCERNING
DISPENSARIBS.
REDUCES CRIME.
It's Results Il Fayetteville.

The COMMONWEALTH presents below
some testimonials for the Dispensary
as it has worked in Fayetteville. TIT
Dispensary question is before the peo
ple OF the State in many places, ani
eur readers are entitled to know abou,
1t. The compilations below were
made ny Rev. c. w. Blanchard fo,
The Exponent.
The dispensary reduces crime be.
cause it reduces the quantity of liquor
consumed. 1t reduces the quantity
OF liquor consumed because,
under the rules governing the manage.
ment of the dispensary, no liquor
is allowed to be sold to drunkards or
minors, nor can the liquor bought al
the dispensary be drunk upon the
premises.
The dispensaly closes at sundown,
ard is not allowed to open till sunrise,
nor is it allowed to do business ON Sun
day.
The dispensary reduces crime further
because it has driven from the county
some twelve or fifteen whiskey disttil-
leries, many of them illicit, with their
debauching and demoralizlng in
fuence.
MAYOR COOKS STATEMENT.
Mayors Office, Fayetteville, N. c.,
December 21st, 1900.
Upon comparison of the Yeas pre-
vlous to 1897, we find that in the ar
rests made since the dispensary has
beer in force, there has been decrease
of at least SO per cent. and we can
safely say that our city has been quiet
er aud more orderly than we have ever
known It to be.
w. s. Cook, Mayor.
Criminal Court, under the saloon
era, ran on full time 100 to $50 cases
being sometimes left untried on the
docket for lack OF time, while now the
courts hardly eyer remain In session

Judge adJournlng court for lack of
cases to try.
CHIEF OF POLICE FLOWERS STATEMENT.
AS Chief of Police of the City of Fay
etteville, position which have held
for IA years, can state that I do not
have one half the number OF drunk and
disorderly cases to contend with since
the Dispensary has been in existence
that bad before. On Saturday and
Monday before Christmas the crowds
in the cit, were probably larger
than e-er before, but there was very
little drunkenness and only two arrests
for disorderly conduct duo to drunken
ness made on both days. On Christ
mas day the public order was almost
perfect, only one arrest having been
made. No extra police force was nee.
during the holidays, tho regu-
lar force preserving the best of order
witout any trouble.
