osTEOPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicago's most emf
nent physicians last winter: Mot a
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good in pneumonia, and
the sooner we resume the search for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people" But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state In pneumonia is filling Of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
ed and dilated blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels ar weakened. by
a loss of nerve force which Is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal Of this pressure. Thus
1t is seen why medicine must fail.
The osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced yertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrate
ed the past week in our city on a
case which the medical doctor gave
up and the ostc, path cured. For
particulars, call on Drs. Hoisington,
Despair block, Pendleton.

national government instead OF
the conflicting and frequently
senseless quarantine regulations
which has wrought such harm
to the business of a number of
States and districts. While the
bob-tail and shotgun quarantine
have been disastrous to CONNER.
cial interests they have not
proved effective in preventing
the spread of fever, hence the
people have come to think that
as the national government has
the authority to regulate inter-
state commerce, the right is
also reserved to it to establish
and conduct a uniform system
OF Interstate quarantine upon
the appearance of deadly dis
eases that may assume an cpl
demic form and spread from one
State to another until a large
section Of the country suffers a
scourge Of pestilence.
There is no installing the fact
that for some time there has
been q growing sentiment
throughout the South that the
business interests demand the
adoption of a uniform system,
not only Of precaution against
the coming Of. yellow fever and
other diseases, but for their
quarantine and treatment when
they do come without relieving
the authorities of the States of
responsibility for local health
conditions. It is generally I'd.
mitted that to secure such .
system as the result of concerted
action on the part Of interested
States would be impossible,
hence there is little reason to
that the Chattanooga con-
ference will request Congress to
take such action as may be
necessary to provide q uniform
quarantine and inspection SER
vice to take the place Of existing
State regulations which besides
Ineffective have caused
confusion and conflict of author
Ity. The national government
already has assembled the
machinery for such . service
and i can be extended and put
into effective operation without
los Of time or much additional1
expense.
