PREGlOS OE SUSCRlPCION EN- TODA La lSLA
Gilpin observer., 1906-01-18
Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia. another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or yerbusy doctor, sep
aratc and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, encourages this prac-
ticc until large bills are made. The suf-
fcring patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay. wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed 10 the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and lnstltuting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known Is half
cured"

Oxford and Cambridge football is
never afire with the flaming spirit of
sacrifice and daring which our college
game inspires in its champions, writes
Ralph d. Paine in the Century. Foot
ball in the English student life is
simply one feature of outdoor play,
which draws its thousands also to the
cricket fields and river. The Ameri-
can youth prefers his kind of football,
just as he would scorn the notion of
substituting the placid and tedious
rivalry of cricket for the swift crisis
compressed with nine sharp innings
of baseball. From his standpoint,
something vital is missing from sport
where players can find cheerfulness
in defeat and where onlOokers arouse
to no more enthusiasm than at mat
nee. When an American crew is
trimming for Henley invasion. or
track team dares try conclusions with
the. flower of Oxford and Cambridge.
it would be rank disloyalty not TO
strain every effort, at whatever sacri-
fee. to be as fit as possible.

TAXING A CHINESE OATH

behest that the sacrifcial lamb should

dove the whitest and plumpest in the

original color may have been white
but was now drab gray, floundered
on the ground with their legs tied and
beside them lay joss sticks and little

NINE OF RAINBOW WOOD

The collecting of rainbow wood is
comparatively new industry IN Maine.
Though the dwellers along the sea
board have known for years that drift
wood picked up from the salt water
gave out iridescent tints when burned
in omen CRATES. they attached no value
to the coloring of the flames until the
summer visitors came down east and
changed the picking of driftwood from
an occupation akin to idleness into a
profitable calling.
For FIVE years the whole coast line
of Penobscot bay has been secured in
