SENATOR FAIRBANKS NOT
FAIRBANKS THE BREWER

indianapolis, Aug. 10. Religious and
temperate republicans throughout the
state have become astounded to hear
that Senator Fairbanks, candidate for
the vice presidency on the republican
ticket, is a brewer, he having amassed
his splendid fortune by making liquid
that irtoxicates.
@ Democrats and prohibitionists both
are suspected Of having originated the
story. Republican leaders say it is
strange that anyone should believe such
a report, now circulated for the first
time, about Mr.. Fairbanks, since he
has been in the senate six years.
Opportunity to create the confusion
lis said to have come from the fact that
Crawford Fairbanks, a well known pol
itician, is in the brewery business at
Terre Haute, and the product OF the
Fairbanks brewery is known through
out the state. D
Great pains are being taken to cor
rect the report, lest it tresult disastrous
lly at the polls next November.

Busiest Thoroughfare.

Careful and continued counting
shows that approximately 100000 per-
sons cross the Brooklyn Bridge and
pass the Pulitzer Building each day.
If these people were to stand side
by side the line would stretch from
New York to Schenectady
Standing one on top Of the other
they would extend 422 miles into
space.
But as the atmosphere goes up for
a matter of only 200 miles, they would
have to lie on the ground, ones head
touching another's feet, and then the
string of humanity would reach from
New York nearly to Pittsburg.
Marching single file in one direction,
at the army rate of speed, it would
require seven days Of eight hours each
each for them to cross the bridge.
They would weigh as much as two
15,000-ton battleships
They would fill 666 railroad trains
of ten coaches each, and these trains
would extend in an unbroken line
from New York to Philadelphia
They include more persons than are

JAPANESE MEDICINE.
In Former Times They Knew Little Of
Surgery.


Surgery.
Like their Chinese neighbors, the
Japanese-up to the time of their re.
cent adoption of western civilization
practiced medicine a good DEAL but
surgery hardly at all. In fact. there
were no recognized surgical practi-
TONERS. Their surgical armamenta-
rlum-l!ke that of the practitioners OF
the celestial empire-consisted al
most II not wholly, Of the acupuncture
needle and the moxa Their medical
practitioners were also druggists and
botanists. Each was accompanied in
MS rounds by an attendant. who car
RED small chest in which were IL
drawers. Each of the latter was fur
nlshed with 144 compartments con-
tanning herbs and drugs. After exam
ming patient. they selected from
. this reservoir the required remedies
and prepared and mingled them secun-
DUN artem.
Iheir science of the pulse was the
most complex Of any known to medi-
cal history, except, perhaps, that OF
their Chinese neighbors. An examin-
alton of the pulse occupied half an
hour; at the conclusion Of which they
protested to know all the conditions
and the causes of the malady. AS a
rule, they used but few remedies.
They never let blood They gave
their patients none of the ordinary
cooked forms Of diet-on the ground
that the stomach in diseases was I'M
able to digest anything suitable to the
healthy state. Otherwise they gave
them as far as possible what they
Wlshed for; relying on the view that
nature was always the safest adviser.
and never demanded what was hurt
ful to the constitution. The great OBJ
.ect OF their practice was the proven
ton OF disease: and to this they be-
lieved that nothing contributed more
effectively than the frequent use Of
the bath.
There were three varieties of small
FOX distinguished in Japanese prac-
tice. The first corresponds to that
known in Europe by that name. The
second appears to have been identical
with our measles. The third was
special disease of the country-char-
acterized by an eruption of 'pustules
which Pere de Charlevoix
was disposed to attribute to the eX-
cessive use of cold drinks by the Jap
anese. None OF the varieties appear,
however to have ben regarded as a
very fatal disease According to the
early Japanese explorer. KOempfer,
the only treatment that was consid-
cred necessary was to envelop the pa
tent in red cloth. This traveller
states that when one Of the family of
the emperor was attacked with small
pox, not only was his bed and the
walls of his bedchamber curtained
with red. but all the attendants were
obliged to wear garments of the same
hue. An interesting anticipation. in
