NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu.
raigia is nerve-pain. and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know OF it's nature
as to hear Of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it Is
now one Of the most common and pain.
full ailments which affiict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system. with pain in the course Of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, lmpoverishment OF the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of 1t is not 80 obscure
as many would be led TO suppose. The
first thing Is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
ts accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, Of nature to
strengthen and give tone to both tho
muscular and nervous systems.

surprised Mexican settlements. The
soles of their feet were cut off, their
eyes were gouged out, and they were
left to die a miserable death upon
some waterless desert.
A large number of settlers who had
escaped, or been overlooked, in the
first surprise stampeded to the little
town of Concorit, about IL miles up
the river. This position, which was
favorable for defense, they strongly
fortified and held with success against
the many onslaughts of the savages.
Then thousands of Mexican troops
were hurried up to the scene of the
outbreak. The Indians concentrated
around the old mission church of BAG
UNI and held 1t for four months against
all the troops that were sent against
them. In this siege the Mexicans lost
600 men, and when the Indians, hav-
ing exhausted their ammunition,
marched out and made for their noun
tain retreats the troops were both I'M
willing and unable to stop them.
Since the unsuccessful siege Of
Bacum the Yaqui war has become a
man hunt. AS long as the rains pre-
vail the Mexican troops, fearful of the
overpowering heat and the miasmic
fevers, remain in their environments,
but when the skies clear and the dry
season comes, the Indian chase be-
gins. For five years it has gone on
and has not been as yet completely
successful. A remnant of the savages,
how numerous no one knows, still
maintain their Independent savagery

ALMOST ENDED IN TRAGEDY.
Psychological Man Couldn't Stand
Theater Pests Talk Any Longer.

The woman who goes to the theater
and insists upon telling her companion
always in stage whisper-just
what is going to happen next is known
to almost every theatergoer. She Is
an unmitigated nuisance-almost as
bad as the man who goes out between
the acts.
That woman was present the other
afternoon at matinee of a play Of
psychological development Of charac.
ter rather than melodramatic action
and climax. She was accustomed,
however, to melodramatic action and
insisted upon demonstrating every
thing along these lines. She at once
saw all sorts of possibilities in the
dreamed. and explained them to her
friend-and to everybody within sew
eral yards of her as well. AS the
play was very interesting the lady's
remarks were annoying, and one gen.
tleman little in front of her waxed
impatient. Finally in the last act,
where very strong scene was being
given, the lady broke out with:
Now, you see, the wife is jealous Of
the child. and 1t is really her child,
and the bad brothers, but she is going
to help murder him and put his body
down the sewer"
This was too much for the gentle.
man with the interest in things psy-
Geological. He turned around, and,
with austere frown, though In the
most polite tones possible, he said
And, furthermore, madame, IL you
cannot keep quiet there will be an
other murder. and there will be anoth-
er body in the sewer"
And during the remainder of the
play the loquacious one preserved an
absolute silence. However, as she
was leaving the theater she remarked
plaintively to her friend:
That was sweet little play, and
would have enjoyed it very much if it
hadn't been for that rude man"

Harm Done by X.Rays,

DR., Hall Edwards, the eminent Eng
fish surgeon, photographer to the Bir-
mingham General hospital, the
Queens, the Orthopedic and the Spinal
hospitals, who recently lost his left
arm, the price of persistent work with
the X-ray, was among the first to dis
cover the great value of the X-ray to
surgical operators. In fact, the first
operation from an X-ray photograph
was from one taken by him on Febru-
airy IA, 1896. He was very successful
with the ray during the Boer war.
Thereafter he first noted on his hands
some excrescences which had the ap-
pearance OF warts, and which spread.
Following this came pains In his left
hand, gradually extending up the arm.
These were so severe ultimately that
he could sleep only under the influence
OF opiates, 1t was a fully developed
case of X'ray dermatltis, sort of
bone cancer. Finally amputation be-.
came necessary.

VALUE OF STOCK FOODS.

Prof r. w. VOL OF the Agricultural

Wisconsin official bulletin No 151, says
of stock foods:
First -They are no benefit to healthy
animals when fed as directed, either as to
increasing the digestiblity of the feed
eaten, or rendering 1t more effective for
the production of meat, milk, wool etc.
"Second--They are no benefit as cure
all for diseases of the various classes of
live stock neither do they possess any
particular merit In case of specific dis
eases or for animals out of condition, off
feed, etc. since only Il small proportion OF
ingredients having medicinal value Is
found therein. the bulk of the foods con-
sistinE OF filler which possesses no medi.
cina properties whatever.
"'Third-By adopting n liberal system
of feeding farm animals and furnishing
"A variety of feeds good results may be
obtained without reSOrting TO stock foods
of any kind. If a farmer believes 1t Is
necessary to feed stock food at times lie
purchase the ingredients and make
his own stock foods at Il fraction of the
cost charged for them by the manufac.
lures He will then have the additional
satisfaction of knowing what he is feed
ing and of feeding a concentrated food
instead OF one largely diluted with nom
medicinal ingredients"
