Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1912-10-04

In 1860 I was practicing medicine IN
Millersvilse Pennsylvania, thriving
farming community. A prominent
citizen of that locality called at my
Office one day in a very feeble condi-
ton. So much so he had to be ASSIST
ed in alighting from his wagon.
I found on questioning him that he
had been afflicted for about two years.
He had consulted various doctors,
among them specialist from Philadel-
phia. They pronounced his disease to
be Brights disease Of the kidneys. he
was gradually failing in strength, los
ing flesh rapidly, and altogether pre-
sented a very pitiable spectacle, the
remnant Of a once strong and happy
man.
7 had been treating neighbor Oh
his successfully This neiShbor had
highly recommended me and thus II
was he had come to me.
He told me that the doctors had
practically given up his case as hope
less and he felt free to consult any
other physician. I hesitated to take
the case, as I felt sure I could not do
anything more than the other phy-
sicians had done. I told him So yet ne
insisted upon my prescribing. l was a

Brides Path.

Before the rush of weddings begins
admiring friends would do we'll to con-
slider the sensibilities Of the bride be-
fore strewing her path to the altar
with rosebuds.
Notwithstanding that I had just
been married to the man l wanted.
the most unhappy road I ever tray
eled was down the church aisles and
steps from the altar to the carriage"
said young matron. II was misera-
BILE because well-meaning but thought
less friends had carpeted the path
with flowers, and 1t was like stabbing
my own body and spirit to step on
them.
Never in my life could I bear to
tread on flowers. They are such SEN
sitive, tender things. Going down the
aisle I tried to avoid them. I side
stepped, / halted, I hurried, Jagged,
all to the discontinue of my new hus-
band, who thought the wedding march
had gone to my head.
"a lot of girls feel just that way
about walking on flowers and 1t seems
to me 1t would be we'll to learn their
sentiments before causing them pangs
like mine"

Betty laughed softly to herself as
she tied a string carefully around her
great toe and attached the other
end to the piece of twine that hung
over the window sill. Then she
turned out the light and crept into
bed giggling like schoolgirl into
the pillows.
It was the night before the glori-
Gus Fourth and Betty had decided
that inasmuch as the holiday came
during the vacation Digs she was
spending back at the old farmhouse
where she was born, she would be a
child again in her enjoyment of 1t.
She had tired Of the conyenttonality

quiet country were as days OF gold

they had gone to another world
but in their place there were kindly
people who willingly agreed to take
Betty for the holidays.

tvs childhood chum was visiting at
her old home next door. She, too,
toiled in a distant metropolis, but it
was Carolyn Harmon's pleasure to
send home each week a portion OF
her weekly salary to help her, father
and mother to keep the homestead.
And it was a sentiment alone that
made Betty take her own room In the
home that had been hers instead of &C.
cepting the hospitality of her neigh
bors and friends.
We'll try to repeat some of the
fun we had when We were children,
Carolyn had said that afternoon.
Lets have a really. truly Fourth,

~And tie strings on your toes to
wake up early?" Betty had asked.
Carolyn nodded. Even that!
Mother always wakes early and I'll
call you. Just tie string to your
big toe and fasten 1t to the white
picket fence between the hedges and
Ill pull it as early as you like. Wasn't
that what we used to do?"

Serious Kidney Disease Treated

I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was q remedy that
/ had used before only for bowel dis
eases. The same remedy that has since
been sold under the name OF Peruna-
II could not quite understand how 1t
was that Peruna should operate so
benefcially in such seemingly different
diseases. I had not yet grasped the
correct philosophy Of disease. l oio
not then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
as the bowels. Nothing Of that sort
was taught in the books IN those days.
It took me years before I clearly conf
prehended that catarrh was a disease
liable to attack any organ of the body.

wonderful efficacy Of Peruna In such

be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case Of kid
ney disease is catarrh Of the kidneys.
All cases Of Bright's disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys. This
being true, and it also being true that
Peruna is a catarrh remedy, 1t follows
that a great many cases Of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna.

lege at Philadelphia, and as one OF the
consulting physicians had been pro-
lessor In that college 1t seemed to me
quite unlikely that I would be able to
do any more than had been done, but
prescribed what seemed to be the best
thing under the circumstances.
He went away and in a week he re-
turned saying he was no better, that he
was still losing ground. He judged
that he had taken the same medicine
before. No doubt he had. But he
wished me to prescribe again. did So.
This went on for about two months,
the patient failing all the time, and l
was becoming thoroughly discouraged
with the case.
One day the patient said to me,
Doctor, why don't you give me the
medicine you gave my neighbor? We
all thought he would die, but your
medicine cured him. This was why l
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him"
But" I said, your neighbor did not
have kidney disease. 1t was q bowel
complaint that I prescribed for in his
case. T remember l gave him the
Neutralizing Mixture that I make a
great deal Of use Of in bowel dis
eases"
"Weil, I want some Of the same
medicine you gave him. 1t worked
wonders with him and I believe 1t
will with me-"
"But," l said, "this is not a medi-
cine for kidney disease"
"Well, since you seem to be like the
rest Of the doctors, you cannot help
me, why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbor"
After some hesitation concluded to
give him bottle Of 1t. In ten days
he returned. He at once began to be-
rate me in no complimentary words,
saying:
"You knew very we'll this medicine
would help me. You held 1t back
merely to get more fees for treating
me. From the first the medicine has
helped me and have made rapid i'm
provement. If I could have had this
medicine a year ago I should have
been saved great deal of expense
and loss Of time"

cine had helped him. I was somewhat
confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. I gave him another bot

NAVIGATION on the Usage.

One Of the very crookednest streams
anywhere is the Usage river in Mis-
souri,. In that region they tell Of a
farmer living on the banks of that
river who had a small flatboat, which,
one day, he loaded with produce and
floated down to market, six miles
away. He exchanged the produce for
goods at one of the stores and loaded
his goods in the aatboat.
"How are you going to get your stuff
home, Bill?" asked friend. Got a
steamboat to tow you. back?"
"I am going to float it back" was
the response.
How are you going to do that? !
don't understand"
1T guess you don't know much about
this river. 1t doubles on itself just
below here and runs back to within
less than quarter Of mile of my
place. I've got landing on both
banks, and team of horses that can
drag the boat over from one landing
to the other"

HIbernatlon OF Mosquitoes.

DR.. Howard of the department OF
agriculture, who probably knows as
much of the mosquito and its habits
as any other man In the world, con-
tends that this cosmopolitan pest
does not necessarily perish with the
coming Of winter. On the contrary,
mosquitoes have been observed to
hibernate, adult specimens living
from November until the succeeding
April or May with all their powers of
torment unimpaired, although their
activity Is suspended in winter. The
mosquito needs but little food, and
1t Is the female that thirsts for blood,
the males contenting themselves with
water and vegetable fluids.
The fact that mosquitoes are often
found upon dry prairies many miles
from water Is ascribed to the long
eVity Of the adults Of certain species
which enables them to survive eea,
sons of drought. Railroads have been
responsible for the transmission Of
mosquitoes into regions where they
were previously rare.-Harper's Week.
