Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-10-26

People so frequently blame a doctor
for failing to perform impossibilities
that at the recent meeting of the Brit
ish Medical Association a distinguished
physician undertook to state the case
fairly, and show that some Of the bur-
den Of failure ought to rest upon the
patients. AS human beings have be-
come more sensitive to pain, he said,
they have got into the habit Of requir-
ing treatment that produces immediate
results. Thence arise two eVlls-dan'
gerous experiments with drugs and
needless recourse to surgery. The aver
age invalid, said this medical man,
wants to know at once what is the mat
ter with him. The doctor cannot al
ways tell, and would like to await de-
velopments. But the patient insists on
being dosed, and as often as not de-
mands that an operation" be per-
formed. If he were content to go to
bed and keep still, his ailment might
cure itself; yet If the doctor suggests
this, the patient concludes that moth
ing is being done" for him, and he hast
ems to call another doctor. Two things
the public needs to realize: That the
best physicians do not travel with
knives in their hands-since they know
that surgery has it's pains and perils,
as well as it's successes-and that they
are increasingly averse to dealing out
drugs. The great men of the profess
sion win half their victories with pure
air, cleanliness, proper diet, and insist
ence on exercise for well people and
rest for sick ones. Less famous physi-
clans would be glad to follow their ex-
ample If men and women would possess
their souls in patience and forego the
desire to turn their stomachs into
apothecary shops. Give the doctor-and
nature-a chance.

The Vital Spot of Emnire

There can be no dispute for a mo-
ment as to the immense gravity of the
issue raised by any question of the eff
cheney of the Mediterranean squadron.
No matter where our chief fighting feet
may ride, that point, and No other. is
the vital spot of empire. 1t is the
very center of our strategical system
and the backbone of our whole defen-
sive organism. If the Mediterranean
force were crushed in some swift and
stupendous disaster, following instant.
~ upon any unexpected outbreak Of
war, our entire naval organization, for
all ultimate purposes, would be like q
watch with a broken neutrality-suspicious.

If political party is worth perpetual
ton the young man is worth cultiva-
ton. 1t is not necessary to place him
In position Of responsibility or to give
him so much as an equal opportunity
with his elders. 1t would be an ex-
ceptionally conceited young man who
would expect as much. All he asks, as
a rule, is to be allowed to serve an ap-
premiership so that when the response
bility of propagating correct doctrine
has fallen upon his generation he will
not be entirely unworthy or UMPIRE
pared.

Restoration of an old Temnle.

The French government is now en-
gagged in the restoration of what has
been called 1.-The greatest temple ever
built on the face of the earth" This
is the temple Of Karnak, in Egypt,
which for over 5000 years has been
falling into ruins. Originally the tenn
pie was $40 feet wide and 1000 feet
long, or twice as large as st. Peters
IN Rome. 1t was begun 2,7OO years
before Christ, and was more than
1000 years in building. Six men with
extended arms can hardly reach
around one of the gigantic pillars still
remaining.

That we live too fast in this country
has long been conceded. Fundament-
ally the cause Of it is the old mistake of
considering the means as the end. We
pursue business and attainment Of
whatever sort as if the pursuit We're
the thing and not the results of the pur-
suit, and therefore as If the fiercer we
pursue it the more it is to be desired.
The result is that We wear ourselves

OUTLAWS OF TURKEY
INTO THEIR HANDS AN AMERE.'
CAN WOMAN FELL
Previous Experiences and Adventures
of Miss Ellen M. Stone-The Widest
Region of All Europe-character of
the Rowing Brigands.

The abduction of Miss Ellen Nj.
Stone. the American missionary, by
Turkish brigands, directed the atten-
ton of the world upon this unfortunate
woman and her cruel and daring cap
tors. Miss Stone is Boston woman,
who for years has been in the employ
Of the American Women's Board OF
Missionaries and whose devotion to her
work is as intense as was that OF the
early Christians. Frequently she has
been halted by 'brigands and tested as
to her capacity to furnish plumber In
one instance she explained the nature
of her work and the fact that she had
but little available money, and was al
lowed to continue her journey and
work. In another case, while she was
asleep in a small structure, she was
aroused in the night and became con-
scious that hands were passed over her
features, but she was not otherwise dis
turbed, and in the morning she found
abundant evidence that brigands had
been in the vicinity during the night
Her most serious adventure occurred
Sept. 3, when she was halted between
Banake and Djoumania by forty bril-
gands. She was accompanied by e1gh-
teen other missionaries, all Of whom
were relieved Of their valuables and
afterward were released. Miss Stone
was carried into the mountains and
ransom of $4,000 demanded by the
leader of the brigands.
A Wild Region.
The country in which Miss Stone was
captured is the same as the Thessaly of
the Scriptures, the Thrace of Grec1an
history where Philip of Macedon and
Alexander the Great led their armies
and where Socrates campaigned bare
footed as common soldier. 1t is wild
er now than then. All the rest of Eu-
rope contains nothing as barbarous.

Bulgarian outlaws infest the whole re-
gon. Woman's honor is held in light

A low birth rate, provided it does not
proceed from the physical decadence
of a people, has its compensaions, in
the opinion of the Des Moines News.
Take France for Instance. The census

ton has increased from thirty-fve

ton has increased from thirty-fve
millions to thirty eight millions, an in
crease Of only about per cent. Dur
ing the same time the population OF
Great Britain has increased about Oh
per cent. Germany, Austria, Russia
and Italy have gained even more than
that 1t is said that the low birth rate
in France is a misfortune in that 1t
makes difficult recruiting for its ARM,
Germanys increase makes it possible
for that country to maintain the lafg-
est army in the world. On the other
hand the low birth rate in France
makes it's people, taken as a whole,
the most prosperous of any nation on
the globe. The French peasantry are
the most thrifty Of all the peasantry
Of Europe. They are small land own
ers and have millions Of francs in
bank. 1t was an easy task for France
to pay off the tremendous idemnity de-
manded by the Germans after the
Franco-Prussian war. France has
money with which to maintain a war,
and that is an important thing as war
goes nowadays. Few Frenchmen
leave France. There is comparatively
no loss by emigration. Germany loses
heavily by emigration. The young
men of France find opportunities at
home. Young Germans, Englishmen,
Austrians and Italians must go from
home to find chance to better their
fortunes. If the low birth rate of
France is an evidence of physical de-
cay it is of course calamitous and
threatens final destruction. Otherwise
it has it's compensations.

SOUTHERN ~GLEANiNGS.
. Bit of Industrial History.

Sixty years g DR.. John Moore, a
young college and medical graduate
from Massachusetts, moved to Talla-
dega, Ala. He married a southern
girl and settled down to practice his
profession. He saw there rich indica-
tions of iron ore. as well as signs of
gold. At that time all the iron con-
sumed in that part of the state and
the country north of it had to be
wagoned thither over roads that were
often impossible. With characteris-
tic enterprise this Yankee, who had
been transplanted to the south, set
up a smelling furnace and a forge,
whose heavy triphammer was operat-
ed by water power, and he went to
making bar iron, which was furnished
to the farmers and country black
smiths cheaper than the foreign ar
ticle could be brought into that re
gion. For years DR.. Moore carried on
his iron manufacturing until the inn
%provement of transportation facilities
made his crude processes less availa-
bic. This pioneer in the iron mani
facture risked his fortune in support
of the southern cause, and passed
away without knowing that he haC
started the beginnings of one of the
south's %grandest Industries.

"DEAR Mrs. P~NKHAM:-I feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit l have received from your
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, l was a misery to my
self and every one around me. l suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. l was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
M mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. l had no faith in it, but to
please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so
much that 1 continued it's use. 1 am now well and
weigh more than | ever did in my life."-MRs.
