How did humanity escape the medieval doc

Right now, humanity needs to recur to the
same principle Not content with giving all

fectly healthy men, women and children, by
torclbly injecting loathsome, putrid matter
INTO pure veins, the city doctors are proposing
to Aoocuzote everybody for Typhoid te1er! .
Heavens above! Where is this craze to
stop? Are all of us to be slashed open and
filled with diseased lymph for fear that fever
may attack us? Is everybody to be made
sick because the doctors apprehend that
Typhoid may invade the community?
After Typhoid vaccination, what next?
Shall we be forced to endure an alleged mild

to know more about your physical and spiri-

self, to know.
Is the claim a0eW- founded?
Each race Of man laughs at the medical and
religious systems of every other race.
We see the methods of the Red men, the
Black men, and the Yellow man, and loud is
our mockery. They see our methods and loud

Confusing isn't it? I remember reading
an incident related by traveller through
North Georgia. when the Cherol1ees held pos
session of that glorious region Scornfully,
the traveller described the treatment, by the
Indian medicine man, of an Indian who had
fever. He was being given plunge after
plunge in the cold water of a mountain stream,
and was being made to drink all that he
could hold Said the Medicine man, in ex-
PLANTATION to the incredulous traveller:
"Water outside; water inside; fever got no
chance"
The traveller added as matter of course,
that the sick man died.
But, if you will read the fascinating stories
of Scotch life in the Highlands, by clan Nc
Laren," Or. John Watson), you will find
one thrllllngly interesting which turns upon
an all-night fight of Scotch doctor to save
the life OF man desperately Ill Of fever.
That Highland physician successfully used
the same method that aoas IN practice among
the Cherokee Indians!
Indeed, it seems to me that the ice-pack
and the ice-water- drink method of today, is
but modernization of the Red-mans crude
system.
Is it not fact that such pioneers in the
medical science as DR.. Lindsey Durham, of
Georgia, adopted many of the herb reel pes

Stanley Mc- Clellan and wife had a house on the side hill above the creek where they own mining property. also several other houses were in close proximity. but Fortunately no persons were occupy ing them at the time of the snowslide.
 Sometime during the night the snow on the mountain side started toward the creek and when 1t struck the houses it completely demolished them.
