ANCIENT DOCTORS.
Some of the Things They Knew Twelve
 Hundred Years Ago,

Hundred Years Ago.
 The Russian Academy of Medicine after examining Tibetan Hand. book of Medicine" first published l.2OO years ago. acknowledges that il con tains many truths discovered or redis. covered by modern physicians. Here are some extracts from the ancient volume:
 Number of bones in the human body, 3C0: number of nerves, 90; num- Der of pores, 100000.
 ''The heart is the king of the organs and the staff of life. The lungs em- brace 1t as a mother does her child Slcknesses are due to mans malice. ig. norance and inability to curb the pas sions. for these things interfere with the proper nourishment of the human organs. All unkind thoughts react upon the heart and liver"
 The methods for ascertaining the state of persons health were very similar to those methods employed to- day-looking at the tongue. feeling the pulse. etc. Vegetable medicines are advocated: also baths. congresses. mas sage. blOodletting. etc. Fines were i'm posed upon physicians who did not keep their Instruments clean.

Ol Men Hold Centennial
 In Meaduille PennsylOania

MEADVILIE, Pa, August 5.-The semi-centennial of the founding of the great oil industry of the United States by Edwin l.. Drake, who drilled the first oil well mean Titusville in 1859, was celebrated today by the oil men of this country, in connection with the an nual picnic and outing of the Western Pennsylvania Pipe Line association at Conneaut Lake. Weeks ago the mana ger of the outing has sent invitations to hundreds of oil men throughout the country and a large number of them came to attend the celebration. Among them were many of the leading oil men of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Oklahoma, who had gained their first knowledge of the oil business in and around the Titusvile oil basin.
 Edwin l.. Drake, although justly fla nous as the founder of the oil indus try in this country, was not the discov erer of oil. From time immemorial the Indians had obtained oil for medicinal purposes from the valley of Oil Creek, near Ttusvile, where the oil in many places rose to the surface or eXuded from the porus rock. Even before the time of the Indians, the mysterious mound builders knew of the existence of oil and it is known that they dug deep wells to collect the oil, which they probably used for no other than medic inal purposes.
 The early settlers of Pennsylvania found oil in many places in the Oil Creek valley and its vicinity and used crude and primitive methods to collect the oil from springs and wells, to sell it as liniment, put up in bottles, and labeled "Haarlem oil, - "Rock Oil, " "American Oil, " "Kier's Petroleum, " "Seneea oil, ' etc. The oil which was found only in small quantities, was worth eighty cents gallon, where it was found and $l a gallon in the east, where it was sold in drug stores.
 In 1854 a lawyer from Maine, by the name of Eveleth and a man named Bissell, who had been a school teacher in New Orleans, passed through the Oil Creek region on their way north. They became interested in the oil and took samples with them to New Haven. They submittd these samples to Professor Benjamin Sllman to test the oil for its value as a lubricant and for illum mating purposes, in place of sperm oil. The report which he submitted in the following year was so favorable that Eveleth and Bissell and several others

The best remedy we know of in all cases of Kidney and Bladder trouble and the one we always can recommend, is Dewitt s Kidney and Bladder Pills. They are antiseptic and at once assist the kidneys to perform their important work. But when you ask for these pills be positive that you get DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills. There are limitations placed upon sale to deceive you. Get DeWitt's. Insist upon them, and if your dealer cannot supply you refuse anything else in place of them.

formed, under the laws of New York, joint stock company, called "The Pennsylvania Rock Oil company, which company purchased in fee simple all the land on Oil creek, upon which there are any traces of oil. The com pany also leased for ninety nine years all the lands which were supposed to contain oil.
 In 1856 the company sublet the land to parties in New York who were to develop this property and pay a roy alty of l2 cents gallon for all the oil produced, to the company. During the hard times of 1857 the New York con tractors became financially involved and unable to carry out the contract. Taking advantage of slight flaw in the deed they surrendered the land to the Pennsylvania Rock Oil company. James NJ. Townsend. one of the stock holders, who lived in New Haven, con ceived the idea of examining the prop erty, and if it was found as reported, to assume the leases surrendered by the New Ofk partleS.
 Mr Townsend Engaged Edwin L.. Drake, formerly conductor on the New York and New Haven railroad who had been compelled to give mp his position on account of bad health, to go to Pennsylvania to investigate the situation. Drake sent favorable re port and Townsend organized a new company, called "The Seneca Oil com pany" Drake became the agent of the company with a salary of $l,20O a year and established himself on Oil Creek. The first crude attempt to gath CT the oil were not very successful and at last, upon Drake s advice, it was de- eided to bore for oil
 The work was begun in 1859 and pro gressed but slowly. After $50,000 had been expended on boring, without re- suit, the company decided to abandon the work, but just then oil was struck and it rose in the bore hole within five feet of the surface. It had to he pumped from the well and the supply seemed inexhaustible. The company was in fair degree to become rich, when the works were destroyed by an explosion of gas in the well, which ig nited the oil. In the meantime over production had caused the price of oil to fall to $l barrel and, discouraged, the Senaca company sold out. For two years nothing was done, but then the work was resumed, additional refner- ies were built and from that time on

ORNAMENTS FOR COIFFURE
Giving Air Of individuality
to the Wearer.

While the summer style OF hair
dressing is less elaborate than tho
coiffures affected In the winter, there
are. nevertheless. many charming
ways Of arranging the hair and at
tractive ornaments to be worn In the
braids and coils.
A gold and jeweled Scandinavian
dagger and a high Spanish comb are
effective, and lend an air of individual.
ity to the wearer.
Aigrettes caught with n full tulle ro-
settle are pretty and quite coquettish.
and band of black velvet ribbon with
gold or jeweled slides and buckles
forms n becoming headdress.
The empire comb Is also becoming
whether worn across the head in front
or combining the curls at the back.
These are of shell, and are beautifully
ornamented with filigree work in gold
and set with semi.precious and preci.
Gus stones.
The Greek fillet is becoming to a
young girl in the majority of cases,
whether in metal or shell, and rib.
bons of all kinds are worn twisted
and threaded in the hair.
Soft tulle ribbons In colors, to har.
monize with the frock, metallic rib
bon strands OF pearl or coral beads
with tassel ends and quaint cabochon
ornaments, are all picturesque and eff.
fective.
