The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1905-09-22

Tallahassee's sanitary officials have
shown themselves TO be fully entitled
to the entire confidence and appreciation
of every resident by their unwearied
devotion TO their arduous and not al
ways pleasant duties. They have not,
however, received from some of the
citizens that consideration which their
work, and their performance Of it, so
justly deserves.
Indifference to notices, carelessness
in the carrying out of instructions, and,
in some few cases, open defiance of
their authority, are some of the means
adopted to make their difficult task
harder. and only thoughtful forbear-
ance on their part has prevented the
application Of some of the penalties of
q very stringent city law.
We sincerely hope that such indul-
gence as has been shown will no longer
be abused, and that all will unite in
giving our efficient health officials that
confidence and cooperation without
which a clean and healthy city will be
an impossibility.

Sore Mouth in Cattle.

After the third page of this issue,
containing reference to the prevailing
cattle disease, went to press we re-
ceived the following from DR.. Dawson:
The cattle disease which has been
prevalent in this and some other Sec
tions of the State for the past few weeks
has been investigated by the State
Board Of Health through its veterinR-
rian, DR.. G. +. Dawson, who states
that the disease is 'mycotic stOmati-
tis," or sore mouth produced by the
animals feeding upon acrid plants. The
climatic conditions Of the season have
been productive of this class of forage.
Affected animals are taken with slob-
boring. The mouth parts and throat
swell and finally ulcerate: Later the
feet become affected, and, IL the ami
mails remain untreated, some die from
inability to swallow. Adult cattle only
are affected.
As treatment, it is recommended that
the mouth be washed out several times
a day with alum water or weak fannie
acid solution or oak bark tea. When
ulcers form they may be painted with
Lugols solution Of iodine, or with lodi
form dissolved in ether. Similar as
tringents or sugar Of lead water may be
used upon the feet to cure the lame
ness. The feed should consist Of soft,
unirritating liquid, or semi-sOlid mate
rials. Disturbances of the digestive
system, which are. liable 70 occur In the
course Of the disease, should receive
appropriate treatment.
The animals should, Of course, be re-
moved from the offending pastures.

"DUVAL BROTHERS."
Why Their Business Is a Success,

On February 8, when birds do mate,
OF the good year 1902,
The Messrs. Duval, with prospects small,
Began business on South Monroe.
These rules they've made and observed
in trade,
OF buying and selling for cash,
With courtesy to all, both great and
small,
And dry goods warranted to wash.
1t is worthy of mention that prompt
attention
Given to all their trade,
Selling reliable stuff, of value enough,
Great success for them has made.
None are suffered to wait, either lowly
or great,
Their wants being supplied,
The large and small, by Messrs. Duval,
In buying, are satisfied.
Their up to date store,
With dry goods galore
In variety and styles complete,
Afford a supply for all who buy,
And with their prices none can COM
pete.
They enter no charge, and prices enlarge,
In order to make up for loss,
But cash on the spot scoops in the whole
lot,
AS near as possible, to cost.
When that maid, with blush,
Comes to buy ION the hush,
Her "trousseau" of daintiest kind
OF laces and mulls, lingeree and frllls,
Her ideals at DuvaPs she'll find,
When the funeral dirge
REQUIRES crepe and serge,
And the sable fabrics for pail,
The soft winding sheet, and shrouding
complete,
With gloves, you will find at DuvaPs.
Their line of fine shoes
From which you can choose
Is ample for both sexes,
Ladies and gents, and children in pants,
At prices that never perplexes.
Their clothing for boys
Fill mothers with joy,
While their charming suits for youth,
And garments for men, with money to
spend,
Are always represented in truth.
Each buyer receives full value for what
he gives,
And no one is cheated or "Aammed. ."
And this is the reason, that in and out
of season,
With customers their store is jammed.
The way to success is to earn it, guess,
And Duval's have certainly won it,
BY courtesy and truth for the aged and
youth,
With reliable goods, they've done it.
They will farther succeed
BY taking good heed
To the rule they've long observed.
"As We would that men should do unto
you, 80 do we unto them"
And thus won the success they deserve
