Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1904-08-19

AS will be noticed by a card
appearing elsewhere in this issue
of the Inter- Ocean. duly attested
by the only party actually inter
ested, the senseless, not to say
idiotic, furore about the Inter
Oceans and Senator Hansbro-
ugh's connections with the acts
of a certain notary public and
his assistants, created by a
coterie of inconsequental, small
fry individuals, was utterly
without foundation, in fact.
To all conversant with the local
situation no denial of a canard
of so puerile a nature is needed,
as it is a notorious fact that
the lilliputian intellects which
originated and circulated the
defamatory matter against this
paper and its proprietor have
ever. been the enemies of both
it and him. The only regret
that the Inter- Ocean feels in
the premises is the fact that
an opportunity has been afforded
for the Infamous penny-a-liners
of the metropolitan press to
misrepresent affairs abroad and
to malign those against whom
their envious shafts are impo-
tent to harm where the truth
is known.

The speech of acceptance made
by Judge Parker must be a sore
disappointment to those of his
party who have expected great
things to come from the wisdom
stored beneath the hat band of
the sage of Eosopus. It will
come about as near holding the
truths of logic as that hat of the
average tramp Of holding water.
Judge Parker must have conclud-
ed from his lack Of experiences
a statesman that the American
public are as illiterate as Guinea
negros, and that his statements
would find Judgement in the va

son, who was starting out for an eastern
city, ''let me tell you something which
may be Of help to you" His advice was
homely, but good. You get up there
and you'll see heap of people who have
got more money than you have-a heap
of people who have got more brains
than you have, and more success. Some
of them may even be better-looking
than you are. Don't you worry about
that, and don't you be scared Of any

Lord Lyveden and his party Of Eng.

Travelled Ill over the world, narrated II

point. relates the Tribune, he said:

how one Of these natives had stumped
him In . certain argument.
1T seemed that he had accosted the
native. and urged him to let himself b

But what good the native asked,
will this civilization Of yours do me?'

ABOUT PARATYPHoID FEVER
New Type Which May Have Been His.
taken for a Recurrence
Of the Old.

This is new disease, or. rather,
newly discovered disease. which has
been considerably discussed OF late IL
the medical world. 1t is an interest
ing affection, and it's discovery has
served to clear up many puzzilne
points in relation to typhoid fever, says
Youths Companion. Originally ty'
plus and typhoid fever were thought
to be identical, but early in the last
century close observers detected GER
tain differences in the symptoms which
served to mark two groups OF cases
and soon they found that they really
had to do with two distinct diseases
typhus and typhoid fevers. Now. near
ly 100 years later, they find that there
are two typhus fevers, but the dis
tinction in this case lies less in diner
ences in the symptoms than in the
fact that the microbes associated witt
the two diseases differ.
The newly differentiated disease IL
called paratyphoid fever, and the germ
associated with it, the paratyphoid ba-
cillus Although typhoid fever occurs
ss rule but once in the same person,
one attack comforting an immunity
which lasts for the rest of life, there
have seemed to be so many exception.
that some authorities have even doubted
the existence of any rule, and have as
serted that second attacks of the dis.
ease are common. But these excep-
tions are easily explained now. for II
Is likely that an attack of typhoid fe-
yer will not protect against a subse-
quent exposure to paratyphoid infec'
ton. and vice versa.
The symptoms differ but little from
those of typhoid fever. and often it il
possible to make an absolute diagnosis
only by means of a blood test. The
malady begins with the usual loss OF
appetite, headache and muscle-ache
and out-of-sorts feelings common tc
all beginning fevers. The fever come:
and goes. being higher in the evening
but is not so regular in its up-and-
The tongue Is coated. some gurgling il
heard in the bowels when pressure IL
made in the right groin, and there
is always some diarrhoea. The spleen
is enlarged, and there is often an erup-
ton like that of typhoid fever. There
may be sore throat at the start. and
cough is common.
The disease lasts about three weeks
and there may be r@apses, as in true
typhoid. 1t is apparently less danger.
Gus than typhoid, the mortality being
only between three and four per cent.
instead of between Is and 20. The
treatment is practically the same in
both disorders. consisting chiefly in
good nursing and in combating posi-.
Ole complications.
