New Disease Among Horses.
BY NJ. ID. ASHRY. V. S.

by wi. ~. AOllA'AJ " ~
This disease resembles laryngi-
It's and catarrhal fever. Both, how
ever, are simple in their nature as
compared with this new type, which
takes the combined symptoms Of
both diseases in a most aggravated
form. Whatever its proper name may
be, it is evidently epidemic.
Symptoms-Lke all other febrile
diseases, It is ushered in with a chill
The legs become cold but rarely in
the early stages so cold as in lung
fever. The pulse rises to sixty soon
after the chill ceases, and keeps on
advancing. Some diagnose the case
as being lung fever, but on inspec-
ton of the membrane of the nose,
he will change his opinion. The brown
mucus of lung fever is absent and
in its place a small discharge much
resembling that of CHAMBERS, but of
a yellower color. The horse has fe-
yer at the beginning, loss of appe-
tite, :efusirg all grain but will eat
some hay: bowels generally cosive.
Urine scanty; generally the horse
is not thirsty. Temperature any wher
from 10y to lOG the 2nL ard Srd days.
Treatment proves successful when
the patient IS reached in the first
stages Of the disease. l have treated
several cases and was successful in
every case where the treatment was
carried out in full. 1 have lost
but two cases. The treatment of
those two was badly managed. If
the patient is reached in the first
stages l have a remedy that will prov
successful in every case, which can
be had for the small sum of $500.

down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid

hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all

WERE THREATENING IN TONE

The Morganfield Post prints the
following interesting story concerning
the fire which burned so much OF
that city recently.
The origin of the disastrous fire
of Friday is still mystery.
It is generally believed the fire
was the result of an applied torch.
Mr.. Hodge said they felt certain the
fire was the work Of an incendiary,
as there had been no fire at the
store during the day. 1t is hoped that
the real cause of the fire may soon
be known.
Mr.. Hodges, the manager OF the
Green River department store, gave
us the following statement yester-
day: "Our stock was worth between
100000 and $4,000, and our insurance
was s11 900, total loss, $4,000 to $lO,-
900. VIII begin business again as

The Witch Finders.

Three hundred years ago the bust
ness of finding out witches was well
established and accepted in courts of
law as highly proper. In 1649 1t is re-
corded that the magistrates of New
castle, England, sent to Scotland for
an expert witch finder. This gifted
person proceeded to show his skill by
discovering fifteen witches and secur-
ing their conviction. One Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder
of that period. 1t was easy to discover
witches when you knew how. The sus-
pected person could be forced to weep
and then detected by the well known
fact that witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye. or
she could be pricked with pins to dis
cover the spot insensible to pain, which
was a sure sign of dealings with the
devil. That women were far more
likely to dabble In witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by a famous
German text book on witches published
in the fifteenth century. 1t was SIM
ply that women were inherently wick
ed, whereas men naturally inclined to
goodness.
