That a sure cure has been discovered
for those sciatic pains that make SO
many lives miserable, is the firm opin-
ion Of MI. D. S. Colson, a well-known
resident of this place, and he does not
hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kid

so firm in his opinion is that he had
those terrible pains and is cured.
Speaking of the matter, he says:

NXXVII.
OF WHAT BEFELL AT KINGS
II

Skipping lightly over the happenings
of the two days following my departure
from Charlotte on the kings errand, I
may say that after passing the British
outposts at the crossing Of the CataW-
ba, l met neither friend nor toe; and
from noon on l rode to the westward
through a pitiless drizzling rain,
splashed to the belt with the mire of
the road, and having little chance to
inquire my way.
This last lack grew with the passing
hours to the size of a threatening haZ-
ard. AS o may have guessed, l knew
no more than a blind man the route
I should take; knew no more of the
whereabouts Of Gilbert Town n Ma
jor F~erguson's rendezvous than that
both We're some eighty miles to the
westward.
At the outset I had thought to feel
out the way in general by cautious in
quiry along the road; but when I came
to consider OF this, the risk Of betray-
ing my ignorance to those who followed
me was too great to let me turn aside
to any Of the wayside houses; and as
for chance passers-by, there were none

So l al constrained to gallop on
without pause; and throughout that
comfortless afternoon and the scarce
less miserable day which followed,

pursuers in a far reach to the east
ward; n once again I had a sight of
an awkward horseman in the road be-
fore me-saw him and tried to over
take him, and could not, for all his
clumsy riding.
Now I was curious about this lone
horseman ahead for more reasons tina
one, but chiefly because my glimpse OF
him seemed to show me the back of q
man whom l made sure I had left safe
behind in the British guard-house 1r

Disease Caused by Fleas.

L IOIl / pSl . NSShlJ
While the public has been more or
Tess educated as to the responsibility
of the mosquito for malaria and yellow
fever, it has not heard SO much about
the flea, which many scientists believe
has some connection with the trans
mission of !eprosy and possibly OF
plague. Before a crusade is preached
against this insect, however, it is de-
sirable that it should be studied most
carefully, and a recent writer in Sci
ence desires the cooperation Of his pro-
fessional brethren in the extensive col
lecting of the neas infesting rats, cats.
dogs, and especially human beings, in
all parts of the world. but more par
ticularly and thoroughly in all plague
and leprosy infected regions.
There is involved in the proposed
plan such an extended and systematic
study Of the flea as is now being car
ried on by the United States govern
ment in the case of mosquitoes. The
subject is, Of course, q very open one,
and Il vast amount Of experimental
work must be done, but it is believed
that the fleas living on rats and mice
do their part in spreading the plague.
These rodents are destroyed by quar-
nntinc and other government health OF
ncials wherever possible in the east,
and such measures ave q most Salu-
tary effect in checking disease. The flea
presents a very different proposition
from the mosquito, on account of his
habits and characteristics. He is said
to be ar epicure, where the mosquito
is a glutton, and may bite q dozen
places in as many minutes without fill
ing himself With blood. His puncturing
apparatus is SO forIned that it has
been suggested that he is unable to
wipe his mouth clean after q meal, n
parts OF the mouth are recommended
as useful for obtaining blood corpuscles
for examination with the microscope.
The chief Indictment against the flea
is that he bites an infected person, and
then communicates or transfers the
bacilli to a healthy individual, who
may thus become infected. The results
OF this study will be awaited with no
small amount OF interest.
