nerve system, heart, lungs, kidneys and |
liver, dwelling at length upon the brain |
and nerve system. He took up the fuuc- |
ton of the skin and prognosis of some of
the important diseases, making special
mention of phthisis and appendicitis, al !
so brief talk on bacteria, saying that |
ninety-nine of hundred were healthful |
and largely needfuI to preserve life. He
affirmed that medicine IN use today was |
not modern, and cited the instance of
Christ's picking up clay and splitting up |
on it and applying it, and today we use a |
preparation of clay oil, eucalyptus and |
glycerine. He cited knowledge of bac- |
terra in olden time when Moses prohibit |
ed the use of water or eating things from !
the Mediterranean sea, afterwards found |
10 contain largely the typhoid germ. He
used only terms understood by unprofes- |
SIGNALS, making the lecture the more in |
teresting to all, and his knowledge of his |
profession could not be doubted.
Waldo Won Wrestling Bout.
The catch-as-catch-can wrestling match |
between VIM. Waldo and Young Ross |
was one of the fastest and most scientific |
bouts ever seen in this vicinity. The |
boys met at catch weights, as Young |
q l.
1t was Waldo's science against Ross |
weight and strength. Young Ross was
decidedly fat for bruising contest, and |
his condition told against him in the last |
bout. Waldo did most of the work in |
the first bout and used half-nelson hold |
to good advantage, Ross contenting him |
self with working from close to the mat
and finally getting a half-grapevine and
arm hold on Waldo he pinned him for |
the first fall in 10 min.
The second fall was won by Waldo aft |
er y minutes of fast work by both |
men. The clever manner in which they |
both repeatedly broke out of dangerous
holds had the gathering of sports on I
their feet most Of the time. Waldo won |
with half-nelson and bar hold.
After ten minutes rest, the men shook I
hands for the last bout and the work of |
both was fast and furious, Ross trying
for a scissors and Waldo for a half-nel- |
son. Here is where Waldo's superior |
condition told and he gained the last fall
on a bar lock and head roll in 81 3 min. |
Ross made many friends here by his |
quiet, gentlemanly manner and it is |
hoped he will be seen here again for a re- |
turn match. Both men issued challenges |
to any 125 lib. man at this style of wrest- |
ling. j. A. Schontag, umpire.
