PAYING PHYSICIANS.

A St. Louis court the other day
had before it the the old yet new
question as to whether or not "a
| physician oul hit to charge a rich
man for professional services more
than poor man is charged for
similar services The conrt held
that "the character of the service,
the seriousness Of the complaint,
the skill and time required and
the result reached" may all be
considered in arriving at the
amount of the charge to be made,
but that the size of the patient s
fortune should not be considered.
That is, the court was of the opin-
ion that all men should he charged
alike for like services. The Savan-
nah News says that as legal
principal it may be all right to
say that all men should be equal
in the eyes of the doctor, yet the
fact remains that it is the custom
of the medical fraternity, and of
the legal fraternity as we'll, to
require a rich man to pay accord
ing to his means rather than ac-
cording to his case and the results
secured.
If the amount alleged to be
charged poor people to be cured
Of injuries to persons from acct
dent, as asserted in actions for
damages, it would seem as if both
rich and poor paid enormously for
such service. Five hundred dol
lars is the amount the plaintiff
generally alleges he paid out for
medical attendance when hurt ac-
cidentally.

TRIUMPHs OF MODERN sURGERY

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scrapAd and polished and
put back sor they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections of veins
anticeptic dressings are applied to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in, which eau
ses them to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment, Chamberlain Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t is
an anticeptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to neal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience ard suffering which such in
juries entail For sale by J. w Legg &

Numerous suits for damages are
likely to grow out of the General
Slocum disaster. A suit was filed
the other day by Mrs. Mattler'
who demands $4,000 for the loss
of two Of heI children in the dis
aster. Her attorney raises the
contention that the steamboats,
owners are individually response
BILE, and that judgments may be
recovered against them severally
if it is proven that the deaths of
the Matter children we're due to
their negligence. And should the
courts sustain that point, the for
tunes of the owners of the Slocum
might speedily be swept away in
the payment of damages.

Collecting bee stings, to be used
n the treatment of rheumatism,
is a new industry that has Just
sprung up. A company of chem
lists in Philadelphia will put the
bee sting serum on the market
and has given a Texas farmer an
order for $4,000 stings. Some
time ago a man suffering with
rheumatism was set upon by bees
and badly stung. His face and
neck were swollen for several DAYS.
When the swelling subsidized his
rheumatism was gone. From this
incident study of bee stings was
taken up and experiments with
them were made. The expert
ments, it is said, have been per-
fectly successful.

LEGATIONS for the division OF entomo-

bulletin, says the work OF his division
for several years 'has demonstrated
that there Is not even & remote
probability that the boil weevil ever

adds:
Although the very large yields OF
cotton OF former times may no longer
he possible, it is nevertheless entirely
feasible to produce cotton at a mar
gin of profit that will compare favor
ably with that involved in the pro-
duction Of most Of the staple crops
Of the United States by following
what have become known generally
as the cultural methods, involving
changes and notifications of the
system of cotton raising made nee
essary by the weeyil. They were
originally suggested by a careful
study of The life history ana habits CT
the pest, and naturally any improve
ments that may eventually be made
will be the result Of the continuation
Of that study. They have now been
tested successfully on a large scale
by the division of entomology, as
well as By many planters, during,
two very unfavorable seasons.
