MAN AND HIS DOCTOR.
What the Patient Wants and What
the Physlcian Does.

The sick man now always wants to
know too much. He wants to know what
is the matter with him when 1t Is not pos
sible to tell him. Moreover, he will have
an answer. and If not he thinks the doc
tor an ignoramus and calls in sSlre one
else. Oh, IL men would only think little
more! Any fool can give name to a dis.
ease if, as is too often the case, the letter
satisfieth. But what if the name is
wrong and the name determines an inn
pcrtant line of treatment? What if the
letter kileth? The public will have the
disease ticketed. even when there is no
means of Identification, and, having got
name for his complaint, the patient
thinks the physic tumbles out Of the
same slot and that between the two he
will be cured offhnnd. There is no idea
of donbt-none that the powers of medi-
cine are limited in all sorts of ways and
that waiting for developments or sub
sidences is the only skillful course.
Waiting is described as Nothing is be-
ing done for me-" and some one else is
called in with Cant you do some
thing?"
What is our position in regard to that
real and intimate knowledge of the action
Of the liver. for example, which we re-
quire to enable us to treat its diseases?
We still give our blue pill and podophyl-
lin and so on and speak with early inno-
cence of touching the liver, and SO still
perpetuate the iden that certain remedies
go to the liver and increase its various
secrctions. don't say this is all wrong
or that the remedies are not valuable in
the conditions for which they are given,
but all the positive experimental evidence
that we possess, think, goes to show
that remedies are chiefly intestinal il
their effect
Coming then to drugs, why do we give
them? To cure disease, you answer at
once and think the question unnecessary.
But wait minute Drugs are given for
several other reasons some of which are
far less free from criticism sometimes be-
cause the patient will not be happy till
he gets them; sometimes to hide our
Ignorance or TO mark time while we
watch and wait. and then we often give
drugs as an experiment in the hope that
they may do good. All treatment by
drugs is more or less of an experiment.
That We cannot help. So long as one
man differs from another it must he go.
Many nn ailment badly needs a remedy,
and who knows hut what in each new
drug some hsmnn i'll may find alienation
What l would discountenance is the Civ
ing of drugs by rule of thumb.-Dr. Good

BUFFALO wlREa suRpENEp.
Six hundred and Fifty thousand Words
Sent Out Daily TO All Parts Of the

World.
Buffalo, Sept. 11.--Not fewer thar $780,
600 are sent out of Buffalo daily by the
Postal Telegraph and Western Union
Telegraph companies, special dis
patches to newspapers all over the
world. 1t is difficult for those who have
been accustomed carefully to limit
themselves to ten words in sending q
telegram to realize what this means. AS
set and displayed by the newspapers
that received them, these 100000 words
filled nearly 500 columns. If one news
paper had received all the special re-
ports sent out it would have had eighty
pages of matter concerning the presi-
dent, exclusive of Illustrations.
Such a tax as this on the resources
of the two telegraph companies is with
out parallel in Buffalo. In fact, there
never has been an event of public in
terest here about which news has been
sent out in any degree comparable with
the flood of the last twenty-four hours.
Coming unexpectedly, and on top of a
great volume of business due to the
Pan-American exposition, the local Off
ciais of the two companies have been
forced to extremities unheard Of in
their experience.
In numerous instances operators had
to work constantly for thirty-six hours
at stretch, leaving their instruments
only long enough to get light lunch.
The day forces on Friday afternoon
were continued thru Friday night, and
it was Sunday afternoon before several
of them We're allowed to leave to get a
few hours of much-needed rest.
From all available parts of the coun-
try additional operators have been
rushed to Buffalo. There have been
about 175 operators at work in the two
offices constantly for the last forty eight
hours, and there is no sign of diminu-
ton of the volume of business filed by
the special correspondents here.
Nearly every newspaper of Importance
in the United States. and several of
those published in foreign countries
have staff reporters in Buffalo, all OF
whom have been. for nearly twenty-four
hours a day, keenly struggling to OBJ
tain every fact of interest in connection
with the presidents condition and the
circumstances surrounding his at
tempted assassination.

LEGAL NOTICES.


We have been asked several times
What the rate is for legal notices. The
legal rate is 10 cents line for the first
insertion and cents line for each
subsequent insertion. The Herald has,
however, standing agreement with
Haines & Lyman and with d. W. Nor
.ris that where cash is paid at once a
sum considerably less than the legal
rate is charged. In these cases the at
atcrney's have paid the account, and the
estate gets the benefit of the reduction,
as the Grinnell attorneys charge the es-
tate exactly the amount the Herald re-
ceives for publication
This course of the Grinnell attorneys
is quite in contrast with that of a legal
light at the county seat who has for
years required the editor at his home to
certify to the legal rate of publication.
He then paid the editor sum consid-
erably less than the legal rate. and af-
forwards collected from the estate the
full amount, thus in long course of
years lining his bank account with quite
a sum above the regular attorneys fees
for service, while the estate got no ben
eft of the reduction made by the pub
Usher of the paper.

PROFESSIONAL. EATERS.
A Peculiar Custom Observed by the
DEVILS Lake Sioux Indians,


DEVILS Lake Sioux Indians.
One of the most striking Gus
toms of the past that are preserved
by the Indians of today is found
among the tribes of the Devils
Lake reservation in North Dakota.
The supervisor of the Indian serv-
ice gives the following account of
this peculier practice;
"From time immemorial the
Devils Lake Sioux have adhered to
an old custom in regard to the treat
ment Of guest. According to their
etiquette, it is the bounden duty of
the host to supply his guest with
all the food he may desire, and, a,'
a rule, the apportionment set be-
fore the visiting Indian is much in
excess of the capacity of a single
man.
"But by the same custom the
guest is obliged to eat all that is
placed before him, else he greatly
insults his entertainer. 1t was
found that this practice would work
a hardship, but instead of dispens-
ing with the custom the Indian
method of reasoning was applied,
and what is known as the profess
sional eater was brought to the
front.
"While the guest is supposed to
eat all that is placed before him, it
serves the same purpose if his neigh
Dor assists in devouring the bounti-
full repast, the main object being to
have the plate clean when the meal
is finished.
'It is not always practicable to
depend upon neighbor at table to
assist in getting away with a large
dinner, and in order to insure the
final consumption of the allotted
portion visiting Indians call upon
these professional eaters, whose
duty is to sit beside them through
a meal and eat what the guest
leaves.
"The professional eaters are
never looked upon in the light Of
guests, but more as travelling com
panions with a particular duty to
perform.
"These eaters receive from 81 to
So and even So for each meal where
they assist. 1t is stated by the
agent at the Devils Lake reserva-
ton that one of the professional
caters has been known to dispose of
II pounds of beef at a sitting. That
they are capable Of eating an almost
fabulous amount l myself can tes-
tifv."
