BY KATHERINE LENOX.

Riley PitsnoEle. whose first little jour
ney of discovery 10 the nations Capt.
tai has ended in a cell AT the First pre-
cinct, is eighteen years old-so Riley
says.
True, the half-deyeloped lines Of her
girli>h figure. and tie awkwardness Of
the overgrown child, which is in all her
movements, say that she is barely
turned turned seventeen, but Riley says
she is eighteen. and some months over.
She looks out upon the world with the
ignorant eyes Of a child OF six. but her
bonny brown hair IS cOiled on her head
in the latest fashion.
Indeed, IL is the fashion, or rather the
love OF il, the desire TO know IL and 10
initiate il. that has proved the undoing
Of Riley Pitsnogie.
For Pretty Things.
II is just for the sake Of the few
little berib0Oned and perfumed dainty
trifies that all women love and that
even the poorest of US keep IN the top
drawer with our sachet bags and glove
cases. that Riley Pitsnogle is eager 20
plunge into the strange and terrifying
life OF a great city. For the sake OF
these trifes, just because she loves silk
and lace and fine feathers, like all
women do. she has exchanged the Sc
curity OF a modest country home for
the loneliness, the temptations and the
stress Of city life For are there not
shop windows in a city, iH which the
wonderful things may be seen any day.
and rsay even be purchased on some
days by almost any woman who longs
for them? That is what Riley Pitsno-
gle meant when she said:

Ny mother won't give me pretty clothes
TO wear. I cant go TO parties. I amt
ever had a silk petticoat in nv life. I
amt ever had any pretty things. That
is why I started out from Martinshurg
and went 10 Harpers Ferry on the AK
cursion. And at Harpers Ferry 1 net

me on TO Washington. Every girl, I
guess, has 10 have some pretty things

Shortly before midnight Sunday the
girl was found by Policeman Price Of
the First precinct. and taken to the

mother and brothers living in the coun-
try one mile from Martinsburg. W. Va.
and her people We're teIegraphed TO in
regard to her. Her mother viii arrive
in Washington late this evening, and
viii take the girl back to Martinshurg.
But Riley is still UncOnvinced that home
is better than pretty clothes Looking

different medication from the disease
in its active stage.
This in fact opens up one OF the most
important subjects in the whole field
Of the case and treatment Of diseased
conditions. especially in the larger do
main of chronic diseases. This more
especially applies perhaps to nervous
affections, both organic and function
al, for it is on the nervous system that
poisonous products long continued IL the
system produce their most serious re-
suits.
The products are not always the result
of syphilis, for all other diseases caused
by living organisms will bring about the
same condition. These conditions follow
Typhoid fever and other serious diseases
and long-continued Malaria, as well as
LaGrippe. is especially provocative Of
these conditions.
And by the way, how many cases Of
supposed Rheumatism, and vague pains,
aches and symptoms go drifting from one
Doctor to another. just treated for one
thing and then another, would be better
cared for if the Doctor would give lit
tie attention to the nervous system and
get at the origin of these pains and
aches instead of prescribing for condi-
tons that at best, can only give tenn
porary results.
But what field is opened up when we
come to consider the exceedingly large
class Of chronic troubles that go drifting
from one to another for treatment, al
ways hoping that something may be
found to give them the much wished for
cure, and so often disappointed or at the
best only relieved.

attention to for over 80 years, and feel

haven't hesitated to call a spade

so, Just as 1 have not hesttated to coun-
sci young men as to the proper life
to lead, even though this has often
lost me a fee.
I know the profession at large pre-

attempts to give a word OF cheer or to

other, getting a smile from one, the

need such honest and conscientious at
tention, and 1 may add, such careful
methods as well attention to the de-
tails or treatment as cases Of specific
blood poison or syphilis. The impor-
tant thing to the patient in these cases
always is: can L be cured, and can L
be permanently cured. Those affected
know that this is correct 1t is here
that few years experience avaiIs but
little. A man must have been handling
these cases day after day for 20. IS or
80 years in order to know, and know
positively, just what he can do.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that these cases very often receive the
wrong method OF treatment
The doctor reads that mercury is
good and he gives 1t without thor
ough understanding of how to give and
when to give in order to get good re-
suits.
In consequence more harm has been
done in the past by improper use or
mercury than good.
see daily cases that have been over
dosed with mercury and injured rather
than benefitted.
The doctor reads that idodIde OF pot
ash and mercury are good for the dis
ease and so he mikes them, thinking
he may hit the mark somewhere. The
man who gives the socalled mixed
treatment" for syphilis is either too
lazy to try and find out for himself,
or ignorant of the essential needs OF
the case.
Yesterday / received a letter from a
man who said he had been treated for
three years with solution OF iodide OF
potash alone. NOW the potash is good
for q certain condition, was not, and
never had been indicated in this case,
and in consequence this man would
have been better off with no treatment
at all.
"A knowledge Of the disease and its
needs, as we'll as a knowledge OF what
medicines to use and how to use
them in order to get good results is
essential, and with attention to detail,
will cure and cure permanently every
case
But as 1 have stated before, one OF
the most important advances In the
case and treatment OF this disease that
has been made In our knowledge OF the
disease has been the opening up TO our
view the so-called para-syphlids, or thesS
seouela OF the disease left after the &C
tive processes have passed away, and
are undoubtedly due TO the poisonous
products generated by the germs OF the
disease, and in mis- way produces seri-
Gus after effects.
These cases are never benefitted by
the usual anti-syphilitic treatment and
need entirely different methods ana

I WINGED OF this and wish they could find
someone who could explain their
trouble to them.
Sometimes. too. doctors are too
ready to give a name TO q trouble they
are consulted about, when IL would be
/ far better TO explain to the patient
their exact condition. rather than so
| glibIy naming the affection.
Today a patient consulted me whose
case had been called rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and various other affections,
Wien in fact IT was plainly 8 nervous
affection that long since should have
been more accurately defined.
This morning received a letter from
man wno has been treated for locomo-
tor-ataxia. prostate trouble, for kid
ney and bladder trouble, and 1 know
not what else and common sense must
snow that someone was surely wrong.
Did you ever go to three or four diff
ferent doctors for stomach trouble, and
have them each give you a diet list.
which must De followed accurately?
Did you ever compare them and note
that each differed? They couldn't all
be right, could they? Someone was sure
ly wrong.
Another thing / have contended has
been the error OF treating the symptoms
rather than seeking for and giving care
full attention to the condition that
produces the symptoms; surely oom-
mon sense indicates l am right about
this To do this is only the result or
true science, for science after all is
only common sense correctly inter-
preted.
Taxing into consideration the symp-
toms, and the symptoms alone, leads
not only to the giving OF much medi-
cine needlessly. but the performing or
many operations that the patients would
be better off if they had never submit
ted TO.
There must be something wrong in
Israel, when a medical journal comes
out boldly and says that appendicitis
operations Will, in a few years go en-
tire1y out. and that not over ten per
cent OF them need operation" and when
the same journal quotes a writer OF
wide experience to the same effect,
and then states that Ignorance or
greed prompts operation in the other
80 per cent" surely something wrong
somewhere.
But treating symptoms simply means
that the physician is unable TO make
a proper diagnosis and thus recognize
the diseased condition. The patient
tells him the symptoms, any fool can
recognize them, but it takes the train
ed expert t. properly interpret their
meaning and significance.
