is Prevention Better Than Cure?
BY ID. HUDDLEsTONE

~
right living are often highly curative,
nature given a free field will often
remove entirely many minor or func-
tional ailments. Thousands who to-
day are in the ranks of semi-invaltd-
ism could by these means alone be
restored to a degree of health ana
strength to which they had given up
hope of ever attaining. The writer
for many years was subject to periodic
headaches which he failed to remove
by ordinary hygienic methods until
upon giving up tea and coffee, not
even with the idea of curing the head
aches, was surprised to find them In
a short time greatly modified and
finally disappear entirely. Since then
several experiments have proved con-
clusively that the tea and coffee were
alone responsible for the affection.
DIR. Andrew Wilson of London, writ
ing in Lloyd's Weekly recently, had
some remarks which are very peril
nent to this subject. Says Dr. Wilson:
"If what may call the curse of this
country (England) in the matter or
the cure of disease has to be selected,
| should say it was represented by the
idea that a prescription can cure any
thing and everything. Every week /
get scores of requests for prescrip-
tion, and the more one reads such re-
lieve that we are living in the Dark
Ages, when people thought each dis
ease was a distinct something which
had to be driven out by another dis
tinct something drug.
Surely we should have altered all
such ideas at this time of day. I plead
today with my readers to recognize
that the causes of disease are mostly
plain and simple. Bad food, impure
aiY food
uncleanliness of body-these are the
main sources of our troubles. Infec-
tious diseases are, of course, another
cause to be avoided by disinfection
In fact most diseases are preventable
wholly, or in greater part. But where
disease does come to us we should re-
member that the cure is largely by
rest, proper diet, careful nursing and
fresh air. What more is needed in
serious cases it is the doctors business
to determine and decide"
Finally, it may be that all curative
measures are in their very nature
negative. So long as the causes of dis
ease are allowed to operate no per-
manent benefit can reasonably be ex-
pected. Only by practicing a rational
common sense life, free from any mar
row reasoning or faddist fancies, can
the way be paved to a healthy, strong
and consequently happy life. This is
the way, and the only way, and will
remain so to the end of time. If pre-
vention could be forced upon the world
by some autocratic power for one year
and cure relegated to the position the
former now holds the world would
simply be astounded at the results.
Would that it were possible to achieve
such a result!
In concluding this short article the
writer would like to state that he
does not preach without practicing.
The soundness of the views here enun-
ciated have been put to the test and
have not been found wanting 1t is
open for others to do the same. We
have many colleges for applied sci
ence: let us also incorporate some for
applied common sense. The two are

THE EYE AND NERVOUS DISEASE
BY DIR. c. C. Logan. Oculist

AS most good eye specialists know,
the third and fourth nerves have
their origin in the aqueduct of sylvius
and the fourth, fifth. sixth and
seventh have their origin in the floor
of the fourth ventricle. The floor of
the fourth ventricle is in the medulla
and the aqueduct of sylvius is COM
munication between this fourth ven
tricle and the third ventricle. The
fifth nerve is one of general sensation
sending one of it's three great divisions
to the eye; the seventh is one of gen.
eral mobility for the face and head,
having a branch to the eye; all the
rest of those named are direct motor

A DANGEROUS BEDFELL0W.
A Salem Man Sleeps All Night With
VeuOmous COpperhead Snake.

Harvey Goatcher of S a e m
slept all night with a copperhead
snake one night last week, On
arising in the morning he dis
covered the tail Of the snake
protruding from under the bed
cover. He killed the reptile,
which was three feet long, with a
stick. The snake had been in
the bed all night and there were
evidences that it had crawled
over and around the sleeper
without harning him.
The copperhcad is one Of the
most dangerous snakes found ir
this country, It's bite is Away
attended by great suffering and
in many instances results fatal

Odd French ENGLISH,

A correspondent has been studying
English pronunciation in French die
tionary pierre Larousee. 1890, and
picks out few examples TO show how
much effort is necessary for a French
man to acquire true articulation Of
English. They are all taken from
surprisingly long list of English
phrases current In France. Broken
down" (as applied to race horse) is
"bro-k'n-daoun." Dead heat" is rem
dered as 'did-hith,' which is ingenious,
but hardly correct. "Ai-laif'' is not a
bad attempt for high life" although
the aspirate is missing. Self govern
ment" looks an even more imposing
political ideal as self gheuvernmentt,"
and the word shocking is. quite APP
plicable when rendered "chok-inn-que."
