Newspaper Medicine.
1LOOMSBURG, PA.

DR.. E. Franklin Smith, of New
York, has sent the following letter
to the Sun, of New York.
To the Editor of the SIN: Sir
On page three of the Sun of Janua-
ry II, appears an item entitled Pa
ralysis among Children. Strange
Epidemic in Vienna. Poliomyetis
Cripples and Kills. This is a spe-
cial cable dispatch to the San.
Medical journals have for a long
time called attention to the absurd
tiles foisted upon the public as med
ical news, and the daily papers still
continue to publish statements that
are an insult to intelligent readers.
In the item above alluded to, the
first error is in the word polio
myetis." The writer evidently
meant poliomyelitis. Who ever
heard of a malignant epidemic?
Again we suspect the writer in
tended to say an epidemic of ma
lignant spinal paralysis. To say
that the name was hardly known
until this epidemic broke out is er-
roneous. The disease has been
known and mentioned in textbooks
on medicines for at least sixty
years. Colmar wrote ABOUT it six
ty years ago. AS we had an epi-
demic here several years ago, it is
quite evident that the disease was
known before the present epidemic
in Vienna. The description of
symptoms, while sensational, can
not by any stretch of the imagina-
tion be called accurate or truthful.
Excellent research work in the stu
dy of this affection has been car
ried on here in our city by the
Rockefeller Institute of Medical
Research. The editorial on News
paper Medicine which appeared in
Tile Mfao York Medieal Journal, of
January 9, 1909, should be sug-
gestive. In IN address DR.. A. ia,
cobb made brilliant plea for the
employment on the editorial staff
of every newspaper of competent
medical man in order that the pub
lie might be protected from the
misstatements of those who attempt
to write on subjects upon which
they are utterly uninformed.
DR.. Smith formerly lived in
Bloomsbury. He is great neph-
ew of Mrs. Judge Elwell.

GOOD ROADS A LIVE ISSUE.
Everybody Recognizes the Importance
of Better Public Roads.

The Mikton Standard says: "Al-
most everybody recognizes the i'm.
portence of good roads. 1t is a
live, living issue, becoming more so
every year. The automobile is
bound to usher il new era in road
improvement and the motor vehicle
is q 'stined to be the agency in
bringing it about. In the next de-
cade it will he question of ma
tional importance as great as the
tariff and the currency problem.
Everybody is vitallv affected in
this question. The dairyman. far
mer, doctor, huckster, storekeeper,
mail carrier-all are benefited by
good roads. But it is question
that has beer grappled with for

advocated good roads and projected
the highway from the capital to the
Mississippi Valley. Caesar in his
day constructed roads and even

bled and is buried with the past,
still the roads which he inaugural
ed, remain to this.day. Our states
men realize that the highway ques-
ton is great one and are keeuly
alive to that fact. William J. Bry-
an, IN an address before the Ma
tional Good Roads Committee, elo-
quently portrayed the need thus:
Transportation by wagon did not
seem slow until the steam engine
made more rapid travel possible.
The tallow candle seemed bright
until it was dimmed by oil. gas and
electricity; the flint and steel were
convenient enough until the frc-
tion match displaced them. The
telephone, rural mail service, etc. 4,
are great improvements. But af.
ter all that has been done and is
being done, there still remains a
pressing need for better roads and
it is now one of the greatest issues
of the day."

The earth being covered with
snow in many sections of Pennsyl-
vania, and not all the rabbits hav-
ing fallen victims last fall to the
gunners, numerous complaints are
being received by the Division of
Zoology of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture, in regard
to trees being damaged and destroy
cd by rabbits preying upon the
bark. One grower in Westmore-
land County wrote 10 State Zoolo.
gist H. A. Surface, stating that of
1900 trees, planted one, two and
three years ago, and which made a
nice growth, quite number have
had their bark peeled off by rabbits.
He asked for some simple remedy
to prevent this destruction, and
made this further inquiry:
"Would black, roof paint-some-
thing OF coal tar nature-be ipju-
rious to the trees? 1 have tried it
on few trees, and the rabbits have
not worked on such trees, and this
would be an easy way to stop them,
but am afraid l might injure the
trees by such an application"
The advice of Professor Surface
was to the following effect:
Replying to your recent letter
asking how to prevent rabbits from
peeliug your young trees, beg to
say that the chief thing to do is to
cut some branches from trees that
need pruning (from either these or
older ,rees), and drop the branch
es OH the snow where the rabbits
can get at them. The next thing
is to paint the trunks of your young
trees with pure white lead and a
good quality of raw linseed oil.
Painting or spra ying with lime
sulphur wash, or with the sediment
that is left from boiling lime-sulphur
wash for San Jose scale, will also
prevent injury for some time.
Some persons recommend killing a
rabbit and rubbing its insides over
the trunks of the trees. Blood
painted or sprayed on the trunks of
trees is often used to repel them.
Personally, l prefer either the paint
or the lime-sulphur wash mention
ed above. l have tried both, in
our experiments on my own trees,
with good results.
"Coal tar might be all right, but
l know where 4 nice orchard OF
young apple trees was killed by
painting with coal tar and linseed
oil, and / hesitate to recommend
this OH that account. l have never
tried it on my own trees, and / am
satisfied with the efficacy of the
linseed oil and white lead treat
ment."

Do The RIGHT THING If you have
Nasal Catarrh. Get Ely's Cream Balm

The Poultry Yard.

Keep the old fighters apart and
SO remove them from temptation.
The laying hen develops a great
appetite and an enormous thirst.
Lack of constant supply of
clean, pure, fresh water before the
fowls mean defeat in the end.
Egg-shells are largely lime. The
hens can't make good shells unless
you furnish plenty of lime.
A feed Of 6nely-chopped onions,
once week, is tonic that helps
to keep broilers lively and healthy.
Keeping too many fowls in pen
with an insufficient amc unit of floor
space is pitfall to be avoided.
Like which sap the life blood and
undermine the flock furnish a pit

Deal pretty sparingly with red
pepper as a spice for poultry. 1t
is sharp stuff. Better warm your
chicks up with some other way
than by feeding it.
You can not feed hens that Law
colored eggs so that they will lay
white ones. If you want white
eggs get the kind of hens that lay
them.
The white-feathered broilers al.
ways have the more attractive ap-
pearance in market, as the pin
feathers do not show as they do on
dark -plumaged birds.
A nest egg makes nest more at

the smaller breeds. We like the
china eggs. An egg eater will pick
at them for little bit and give it

up somehow, and that takes vitali-
ty. Save the hens strength of
body by warming the water on the
kitchen stove. You can do it
cheaper tnan the hen can.
Here is new plan for killing
mites on poultry roosts. Take two
pieces to make roost seven-eis shths
inch thick and two inches wide;
bevel the edges a little, and nail to-
gether, not too close. and set up on
edge. The mites will all conpre-

and you have them dead.
Many who keep poultry over
look the Importance of grit. Lack
OF grit means poor digestion and
few eggs. A load of gravel near
the chickens home would improve
the health and increase the egg
yield on many farm. I know il
is claimed that the grit of commerce
is the best, but the gravel is good
enough grinding material. If you
have never tried it you will be sur
prised how last it will disappear
when placed in a box where the
hens can help themselves.

horses, cattle, or other stock by the
cars or locomotives along a railroad,
shall he prima facie evidence Of care
lessness and negligence on the part
Of the corporation. In an action for
killing or injuring stock, proof Of own
ership, killing Or damaging, and its
value, makes a prima facia case; but
when the plaintiff relies solely upon
the statutory presumption of negli
gence and the testimony Of those in
charge of the running of the train
is unequivocal that everything was
done that could be done, after the dis
covery Of the stock upon the track,
to prevent It's injury and that the
train was properly equipped and all
appliances in good order, and no con.
flicting evidence is offered as to ma
terial questions and the circumstances
are not in conflict with such evidence,
the prima facia case made under the
statute is overcome and the defendant
is entitled, on proper motion, to d.
rected verdict.
g. Whether the statutory presump-
ton has been fully met and overcome
is in the first instance a question of
law.
7. Under section 1888, r, c., 1905,
it is lawful for certain stock to run
at large between the 1st day of No.
vember and the list day Of April, ex.
cept in counties where the electors
vote otherwise. Held, the object of
the statute permitting stock to run
at large during the months named, is
to permit it to feed upon commons
and unfenced lands without liability of
owners for damages done on such
lands, and not to impose upon the
owners of such premises and greater
degree of care for or towards such
stock than is required at other sea-
sons Of the year.
8. The statute quoted only affects
the remedy or measure OF damages in
case of injury by such animals, and
as applicable to acts of negligence by
the owner Of the premises onto which
stock strays during the open season
such stock is trespassing.
9. Following the previous decisions
CT this court, it is held, that as to
trespassing stock, the duty Of the rail-
way company and its servants is to
use ordinary care not TO ln1ure IT
after its discovery upon the track or
right Of way.
