BY Osteopathy.

what bone would you pull TO
treat a hsadache?" asked a layman.
Any bone that may be out OF its cor
rect position in the neck or back. 50
as TO bring its pressure upon the
nerves which express the pain sense
that is, If the headache happens
to be due to bony slip; but OF course
II may not be at all. That is one
frequent cause, but there are many
Others which are apt to be operative.
A muscular contraction in the back,
in the neck, or over the head, may
likewise cause headache. Indiges-
ton, eye-strain, mental fatigue, a
sluggish liver. constipation. kidney
disease, and many other things are
frequent causes of headache. Hence
the cure of headache geographically
Is the cure of its cause or causes. To
find the remedy these causes. having
as they usually do an anatomical
basis. requires special and thorough
training. and that is why osteopathy
exists as an Independent school of
medicine. Its practitioners are spec
ialists. They cure headaches, as they
do other diseases not by pulling"
bone, unless bone needs pulling"
but by finding the cause of each
special headache and giving that
cause whatever treatment is needed
to cure It, So In a dozen different
headaches none might be treated
alike osteopathically, and yet ten or
eleven of the dozen would likely be
cured.
Osteopathy is probably doing more
for suffering humanity than any re-
cent discovery. and I should like for
you to investigate its merits. i
should be pleased to see all who may
be interested In osteopathy at any
time from 8 a. m. to ~ and 2 to
p m.
Osteopathy is the sane, rational
treatment of Illness and disorders.

The mob was thwarted, for which a
lasting credit is due the quickness
Of the Graves county authorities and
the coolness of Paducah and Nc
Cracker county's officers. Now, let
speedy justice be melted out to the
brute. He has confessed his crime;
there is no question of the outcome OF
his trial; but let the law take its
course. 1t will be well for Graves
county; 1t will be an example of no
small weight of protection to the COM
munity. After all. there is no pun
dshment more severe than the con-
temptation of memorable fate fixed
BY law justly administered. In the
heat of passion men take such Great
ures out and perpetrate. sometimes.

revenge IL is soon over with the
guilty wretch. But what of him sit.
ting day after day in the close confine-
inert of prison cell, with everything
around him to remind him OF his help
less captivity. with nothing to do but
sit and count the hours as they bring
him nearer to his fearful, certain
doom? This is the punishment
the punishment of a mans
own mind--that makes him
desire death as sweet surcease-
that makes the death watch" an act
uai necessity. Such punishment needs
only the certain climax of execution
of the sentence, without delay, yet
without undue haste. to bring about
the result for which laws are estab-
1ished.
