No Guesswotk.

No intelligent person would think OF
going to dentist to have the eyes treat
Cd An oculist would be promptly con-
suited. because he understands such dis
eases.
Many people, however, do not give the
same intelligent thought to the treat
ment of chronic diseases. These dis
cases constitute a speciality just as dis
tinctly as do diseases of the eye, and
the busy practicing physician, who is
often consulted has not had the eX-
perience necessary to properly treat them.
1t is not because they are so difficult to
cure that SO many people are afflicted
with a chronic disease all their life, but
because they do not so to the proper
physician for treatment.
In my extensive practice, which is larg-
er than that of any other specialist in
the United States. have had thousands
of patients who had been treated by
many doctors, not one Of whom under
stood the case, although they were prom
inent and capable physicians As con-
sequence they had been experimental
upon, and given treatment in no way
suited to the case The result was years
of suffering which could have been
avoided. tlH'
The experience which 1 have acquired
in devoting myself exclusively to the
treatment of chronic diseases for twenty
years has equipped me perfectly, and
there is no guess work when | give my
opinion regarding q case. l give each
case closest study. and my treatment is
specially prepared to meet all conditions,
for although two cases may appear quito
similar, the chances are that there is
some special complication which needs
careful attention.
By treating each case on its own
merits, and not relying upon any plan
of ready made treatment, l have become
the most successful specialist of the
day.
l rely solely upon my skill in medical
science, and my patients get the most eX-
pert treatment obtainable anywhere.
l invite the afflicted to consult me,
without cost, or write for complete symp-
tom blanks, which will explain my sue
cessful plan OF home treatment.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

Chatham Record.
The last Legislature passed a law di-
recting that the 18th day of October IN
each and every year to be called North
Carolina Day may be devoted by appro-
pirate exercises in the public schools OF
the State to the consideration OF some
topic or topics of our State history to
be selected by the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction"
This is an excellent idea and all pri-
vate as we'll as public schools should
earnestly strive to carry 1T into effect.
Let every school, both public and pri-
vate, appropriately celebrate this North
Carolina Day as suggested by our law
makers, and thus teach the children OF
North Carolina a true history OF their
State. No State has greater cause to be
proud of her history than North Carolina,
and yet scarcely any States history is
so little known as hers. Let us stlmu-
late the children of this generation, and
each succeeding generation, to strive
more earnestly in learning the history OF
their good old State.

THIS YEARS HARVEST.

The New York World devotes a whole
page to a forecast of this years harvest
1t publishes special dispatches from over
800 correspondents at different points in
the wheat and corn belts of the Central
and Western States. 1t sums up that
the corn crop will be the poorest in
eleven years. Last year there was raised
2, los, 1o2, sic bushels which brought, at 80
cents a bushel on the farm. an amount
aggregatng $751; 22O, 1884. Summing up its
reports on to the corn and wheat crops,
the World says.
"CROP WILL NOT MUCH EXCEED
1900, 0O0, 900 BUSHELS.
''This indicates corn crop for the COM
ing year-although conditions may be
slightly improved If hard rains come in
the next fortnight--of little more than
200, coo 900 bushels. Last years crop
was bumper, los, 102, 576 bushels, worth
to the farmer an average of 1871 cents
bushel, or $751;, 22O 034-a stupendous sum
to divide among American farmers.
"a loss of 900, 0000 900 bushels burned
up by this years unprecedented hot wave
and drought-would mean loss of over
$3.50 900 900 to the farmers at last years
prices.
"But corn was selling Is cents bushel
higher yesterday than on the same day
last year, SO that crop of 1,200, 900, 900
bushels would be worth at this years
prices $156,000,000 more than last. The
actual loss to the farmers at the worst
will be 5000, 900, 600.
"WHEAT CROP BEATS EXPECTATION.
1.-THE World reports show that this loss
will be partly offset by wheat crop even
larger and richer than any one has esti-
mated. 1t will far exceed last years
crop of $50, 229, sos bushels worth 1928,
515.177-an average of SO cents a bushel.
The short wheat crop in Europe is al
ready causing extraordinary demand for
American wheat for export. The ship
ments Of wheat to Europe this month
are estimated at 22,000,0 600 bushels, worth
S17 600, O00-surpassing both in quantity
and value any past summer record.
"All The World reports indicate that
this years wheat. wherever threshed,
grades higher than expected.
"As Western farmers have carried over
vast quantity of corn from last years
bumper crop, and as this years wheat
crop will partly compensate them both
in quantity and value for the shortage
in corn, The world dispatches clearly
indicate that 1901 will not be known as a
year OF crop failures, although of corn
there will be the poorest crop in eleven
years.

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS IN INDIA.

The dcpopulation of India through fam
inc seems to be assuming alarming pro-
portions. It is estimated that over 5000, 900
persons in India have died, since 1895,
from causes directly due to the famine.
Famine is terrible thing and proves con-
clusively that food is essential to the
body Yet it is not so much question
of how much food is eaten as how well 1t
is digested. To insure perfect digestion
and obtain the greatest amount of nour-
ishment from your food, take Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This is the old re-
liable standard medicine for the disorders.
1t promotes appetite, cures dyspepsia,
indigestion constipation, biliousness, and
keeps the bowels regular. Do not fail
to give it trial. 1t never disappoints.

Indu.trinI Activity

The activity of the manufacturers is
almost striking as that of the rail-
ways. The steel and iron trade is par
ticularly prosperous. but the reviews from
all centres and all Industries are excep-
ionally rosy in report and in promise
Orders in the steel business have already
made certain full factories and mills dur
ing the greater part of next year. With
in the last ten days the new rail con-
tracts have aggregated about 10000 tons.
making the aggregate orders on which
delivery viii have to be made next year
z,2o0O0O tons, according to Pittsburg
authority.
This business will keep the mills busy
until this time in 1902. Last year the to-
tai production of rails was 1850 600 tons.
This year the aggregate will be about
Z,5VJcJO tons. 1t is said that the United
States Steel Corporation has prevented a
special active boom in steel prices this
year and that this will prove an eminent
ly sound and profitable step to have
taken. II was the speculative advance in
prices two years ago that resulted in the
temporary depression that followed in
the steel trade

Imports of Raw Materials.

The large increase in the imports of raw
materials Of all kinds during the present
year Is collateral evidence that the man
uiacturers are busy The Bureau of Sta
tistics figures on crude Imports for the
first nine months of the year, show them
TO be the largest on record The total
was S22l ,469 .9iS, as compared with S2I7. 600
90 last year, and with S12l, $1,000 in 1896
oniy hve years ago. The following table
shows the importation of articles in n
crude condition which enter into the varI-
Gus processes Of domestic industry" dur
ing the nine months ending with Septem-
ber of each year since 1890
The Washington times., 1901-11-17

The table shows the steady growth since
leSJ IN the importation of raw material
Tor use OF manufacturing, and that the
year lsUl is proving the largest in the i'm
portation of these materials in the entire
history OF our import trade and manufac-
turing industry.
While the total imports of manufactur-
crs material in the nine months ending
with September, 1901. exceed IN value nv
A,U0.0U those Of the corresponding nine
months Of 1890, the actual increase i'm
quantity Is probably considerably greater
than that indicated by the statements OF
values simply.
This Is due to the fact that there has
been during the last year a marked de-
crease in the price OF the principal arti-
cles imported for use in manufacturing
The importations Of manufacturers ma
terial are largely made up of six great
articies-india rubber silk, fibres, hides
and skins, tin for use in manufacturing
tin plate, and chemicals for use in the
manufacturing industries In nearly all
Of these the prices per unit of quantity in
1901 are less than those Of 1900.
Coal Trade Conditions.
The activity of the coal trade, next to
hat Of the iron and steel trade. IS the
most valuable index OF general business
conditions II is to be noted that the coal
railways during October earned more
than they ever did before in their his
tory, and that the production OF coal this
year will be a long way ahead of the best
previous records.
