A fine TABLE MEDICINE.
Olive Oil Highly Recommended
for Health.

Medical authorities claim that
olive oil should I've in all homes
and freely used. If taken freely
it stops the attack of appendicitis,
and is a regular flesh and nerve
builder, and Il person is never
troubled with indigestion when
this oil is used daily. An authori-
ty recently said of It;
"Olive oil il u regular jack Of
alI-lrndes. 1t aids digestion,

"rhe skeleton frame calls for

of mercury. This was all that
was done, but, in The HERALD's
humble opinion, it would have
killed the child, even it had not
been bitten by snake.
The doctors believed that the
leather strap prevented the child
from dying before it reached the
city, but it lived till near mid
night. Symptoms exhibited were
Il swelling of the thigh at the
wounds and drowsiness. The
pulse and heart beats were strong
and regular up to the end of the
treatment.
: The general opinion was that
the case was hopeless from the
start, because it took too long to
get 1t to Il doctor; the patient was
young and the snake u large one;
the bites we're in place where
the blood vessels are numerous,
and the force of the bites was
broken only by thin calico dress.
Dir. Graha m closes with the adj
vice that, when person is bitten
by a snake, the wounded limb
should instantly be bound with a
strap or cord to prevent the poison
from circulating and that some
one should suck the poison from
the wound. He says there is no
danger ~ taking the poison into
the mouth, unless there is an open
cut or wound in the mouth or on
the lip. He recommends the use
'of Echafolta, if it can he had at
once.
He says nothing about alum or
tincture of iodine as a remedy,
though the latter, given internal
ly, has been widely recommended:
Permanganate of potash has failed
in every case in which it has been
used for rattlesnake bite.

THE HERALD having inquired as
to the treatment applied by the
Dade County Medical Society in
the case of the negro child which
recently died in Miami from the
effects of rattlesnake bite, DIR.
Walter S. Graham of that city
kindly and fully answers in a
late issue of the Miami Metropo-
lis. As his report is quite lengthy,
we condense it and give the sub
stance of it as follows:
The child was between three
and four years old; was bitten by
large snake, making two wounds
about three inches apart near the
top of her left thigh; was brought
in from over two miles in the
country and got to the doctors an
hour after being bitten. Her pa
rents had bound a leather strap
around her thigh TO prevent the
circulation of the poison. DIR.
Mullet at once injected permanga-
nate of potash into and around the
wounds and gave the child two
ounces of whiskey. He also gave
teaspoonful of the specific tine
ture Of Echafolta and injected
some into the wounds.
Then a clean cut about half an
inch deep was made from one
wound to the other to let out the
blood and the wound was painted
with a very strong solution of car
bolic acid. The leather strap was
then removed; no bleeding follow
ed; and then DIR. Mullet applied to
the wound some absorbent cotton
wet with a solution of bl-chloride

There should BIO u more econo-

The burden Of taxation should
bear more evenly. The taxation
of every little enterprise in the
State throws u burden upon in-
dustry rather than upon wealth,
Capital and labor are necessary
to each other. Both should be
protected Neither should be OPP
pressed. There are two kinds Of
men, the natural anil the artificial.
The artificial man isa corporation.
Each should be restrained within
due bounds, each has certain rights.
Neither should he destroyed.
