FussineSS About Health Does More
Harm Than Good.
When one thinks of the newfangled
ideas about health and sees people on
every hand hunting for disease germs
In water, milk. meat, fruit and the at
mosphere, analyzing everything, dread
ing swallowing and in constant fear
with every mouthful they eat, one al
most wonders whether or not life is
worth living. If we are liable to be
made the victims of tens of thousands
Of enemies which are in and around
everything, in all liquids and all solids
alike, we are in just about the same
condition to enjoy life as was one Of
the olden kings who lived in mortal
terror that everybody was trying to
poison him. All his foods and drinks,
everything, had to be tasted and tested
by some trusted member of his house
hold before he dared to touch it him
self.
If there is a pitiful object in the
world 1t is person who has become
finical about his health, who lives in
terror Of germs and must examine and
analyze everything he eats or drinks,
looking for infection.
It is an insult to ones Creator to go
through life whining, complaining and
fearing, in morbid terror that a thou
sand enemies are combined to rob one
of comfort, Of happiness and of health.
Man was made to hold up his head, to
walk erect, with boldness, fearlessness
and confdence-Success.

It Is StiII TsesOrted to by Doctors In
Certain Emergencies.
BlOodletting, or "venesection," as it
Is known scientifically, was once the
common remedy for nearly every form
Of ailment. Washington died of it, in
the opinion of modern medical authOri-
ties, and soon after his time there was
a reaction against veneseciOn Better
medicinal agents accomplished what
ever benefits were attributed to this he
rOic treatment, and better knowledge
of physiology condemned the practice.
Venesection, however, is still en-
plOyed in certain emergencies by the
most advanced practitioners. A Ger
man physician has made an extensive
study Of the subject with clinical eX-
perimonts. and reaches the conclusion
that i'll certain cases where the heart
and lungs are engorged with blood
venesection is permissible because Of
the speedy relief it gives, often after
other resources have failed.
Deadly toxins are also present in the
blood in some diseases. and venesection
reduces them. The lost fluid is replaced
with an injection of salt solution.
Bloodietting affords relief to the livid
sufferer from a di'telded heart when
every breath is a struggle, but its use
has been reduced to an exact science,

final resort for giving ease i'll Il com

deep impression.
Mr.. Gompers insists the council is
in the right regarding the statements

tations made and that the condition
of affairs in the labor world is the best
proof of its contentious.

The explosion took place at 4:30 on

one of the largest Independent opera
tions in northern West Virginia. Over
ESQ men are employed daily in the
