Beware Germ Of Discomfort.

Just as soon as the germ OF dlscon.
tent begins to work In our mind, ev.
erything begins to look gloomy. Life
takes on pessimistic tinge. Nothing
is right or goes right. The body
catches the cue. We grow irritable.
We scold the children or reprimand
our business associates. This means
that wires are crossed In the nerve
region. Next, the stomach sulks. We
don't want anything to eat. and what
we do eat dlsagrees with us. Then,
our head begins to ache. The world
loks bluer and bluer. Our spirits sag.
1t Is like an endless chain. The mind
affects the body, and the body In
turn lowers the tone Of the mind. And
SO It goes; and. unless we put stop
to 1t, the last date Of the discontented
man or woman calls for medical
board and a sanatorium.

WINTER RESIDENT SUFFERS
.AMPUTATION OF RIGHT LEG
SLIGHT INFECTION ON SOLE OF
FOOT LEADS TO GANeRENE
AND II. L. REED LOSES RIGHT
LEG.

H. L. Reed of Mansfield, Ohio,
who owns a winter home at 100
South Palmetto avenue, suffered the
amputation of his right leg above
the knee, Saturday night or early
Sunday morning, the amputation be-
ing necessary because of gangrene
in the limb.
Mr.. Reed, who came here from
Mansfield few weeks ago
accompanied by MS wife, had
been having some trouble with the
infection of callous place on the
sole of his foot and ;ais continuing
to give him trouble after his arrival,
DE-. Roy Howe was called to treat it,
The condition of the foot becoming
worse during last week it was decided
to have DR.. r. G. Holden of Jack
sonville, in consultation and he ar
rived by the midnight train, Satur-
day.
DR.. E. c. Atwood and DR.. Raymond
Howe, as well as DR.. Roy Howe, as
sisted DIR. Holden in the operation
which it was deemed necessary to
make to save the patients life and
at last reports Mr.. Reed was getting
along as well as might be expected.
The operation was performed at
Mr.. Reeds home ON South Palmetto
avenue and DR.. Holden returned to
Jacksonville on the early morning
train.
A wound in the leg, received dur
ing service in the civil war, had of
late been giving Mr.. Reed more or
less pain and annoyance and it ID
likely that the present trouble was
induced by this wound.
