ARABS FREE FROM THE DISEASE

Constant Use of Impure Water Weede
Out the Weak and Renders Those
Who Survive Immune-M ethod by
Which Catarrh May BE Avoided
Although typhoid fever prevails to
great extent in the regions along the
north coast of Africa. largely inhabited
by Arabs, these people are seldom af-
flicted with 1t. although Europeans liv-
ing in the same region fall easy vic
tins to the disease. 1t is said by those
who have lived there that an Arab
can bear any kind of exposure to ty-
phoid fever without taking II. They
account for this peculiar bodily condi-
ton of the Arab by the fact that ever
since his early infancy he has been
reared on impure drinking water.
which. in countries where the Arabs
abound. is notably bad. 1t is saturated
with all sorts of contamination.
This has had the effect of wedding
out the weaker ones and leaving only
those who can stand typhoid fever
germs. The grown Arab. therefore, is
able to bear exposure that would give
a European typhoid fever at once.
This. however. is not intended as any
argument for the use of impure drink
Ing water. 1t only shows that the hu-
man system is capable of adjusting IT.
self to unfavorable conditions.
But while the Arab is immune from
typhoid fever. lie is especially suscep-
tible to consumption. This fact is ac-
counted for by the reason that he has
been accustomed to the very pure air
of the mountains, and when exposed
to the climate oil Europe he quickly
succumbs to consumption He can
stand our drinking water. but he can
not stand our climate.
The whole subject of national sus-
cepsibility and unsusceptibility to dis
ease is n very interesting one. 1t may
be, after all, that our climate. which Is
SO peculiarly provocative of catarrh,
will at last produce a race of people
that will be practically immune from
catarrh. We hope SO, at least. At
present IL is n national disease and
nearly everyone has it.
The very best authorities on chronic
catarrh state that there is such thing
as immunity from this disease. The
cold bath every morning. gargling the
throat with cold water. splashing the
neck and cnest with cold water-if
this is practiced thoroughly every
morning 1t ill practically render any
one Immune frcm catarrh.

NO MORE USE FOR THE BIBLE.
Good Book Served Its Purpose and the
CuIprit Returned It.

The late Rev. Joseph Parker was a
truly good man and never wearied of
doing all in his power for the benefit
of his fellow mortals. He was willing
to admit, however, that as mission
ary he would have proved failure.
and to sustain this opinion once told
the following story:
"The criminal" he said. whom
first tried my youthful hand upon was
accused of the murder of woman.
The case against him seemed good
one and the future of the poor fellow
looked black.
This man. when visited his cell.
welcomed me and my instructions in
a fiatterlng manner. He could not
talk with me enough upon spiritual
matters. He asked to see me daily
and it did my heart good to note how
sedulously he studied the little black
Bible that l gave to him.
"An through his trial his piety con
tinued to be fervent and deep. All
through his trial the man showed a
religious unction truly remarkable and
unique. In the end he was acquitted
and shall never forget my last visit
to him in his cell. few moments be-
fore his release and departure.
"On my entry he looked up from his
packing. and, recognizing me. he ex-
tended the Bible which had been my
gift and which he had so carefully
perused during his peril.
"'Iiere. sir he said. allow me TO
return this book to you. ! hope never
TO have use for II again."

Death OF a Good Young Man.

Major A. Dean, one of Anderson's 8
leading young business men and most
popular citizens, died in the Riverside
Hospital, in Charleston, last Wednesday
night, July %, after undergoing an ope-
ration for appendicitis. He had been
suffering intensely for several days pre-
vious to his being carried to Charleston
for treatment. Tho operation was de-
layed too long, it is thought, to save the
old and leaves wife, who is a daughter
of Capt. w. G. Smith, and a son IL years
old. He was the senior member of the
firm of Dean & Ratliffe, and was closely
identified with everything pertaining to
the good of Anderson. His remains
were brought back home for interment,
and the funeral services were cond ucted
on Friday afternoon at 4.30 O'clock in the
First Baptist church of Anderson, of
which the deceased was devoted and
consecrated member. The services were
most impressive and were attended by a
large concourse of sorrowing friends of
the dead man. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. ID. Chapman, D. D.,
who was Mr.. Deans pastor and his warm

emotion, which was shared in the audi

pathetic though triumphant death many

in the zenith of young manhood's days

body was carried to Silver Brook Gene

to await the resurrection of the lust.
