REV. MANLY E. WEAVER, D. D..

quently entering Howard College at

DISEASES CURED BY RESTING
For Active tuberculosis Especially
Repose in Bed Is Most Powerful
Remedial Agent.

An eminent English scientist de,
clares that in both the plant and ami
NAL kingdoms rest is essential to
growth. In infancy development is in
its highest state of activity, and the
healthy infanG passes the greatest
portion of its life in a state of rest
and sleep.
Repair is but the repetition of growth
and for it rest is just as necessary as
an injury to limbs when rest is OBJ
tanned by splints, bandages, etc. In
the case of the heart and lungs rest
can be got only by resting the whole
body in the recumbent position. Rest
in bed is the most powerful curative
agent in the treatment of active tn.
berculosis.
One or two months in bed, he says.
are necessary in the beginning OF
treatment of all cases. If the disease
is very active the patient should be
fed by a nurse and treated as in ty.
phoid fever. Bed treatment should
be continued until the temperature
and pulse have both been normal for
some time and the weight is nearly
normal. The rest treatment of tuber
culosis has been attended with pleas
ing results.

LITTLE RHoDrs' GOOD WORK
Statement Msds That Glory Of Oliver
Hazard Perry's Victory Belongs
TO That state.

The celebration OF Perry's victory OF
Lake Erie recalls that the northwest
was not only settled very largely BY
emigration from the New England
states, but that those great and pop
ulous states we're very probably saved
TO the union in the second war with
England by the enterprise and valoI
of New England sailors, the Boston
Herald observes.
Oliver Hazard Perry, then a com
mander in the navy and much discon
tented because the duties assigned
to him offered no opportunity for prov
ing his mettle, was Rhode Islander
in charge of feet Of gunboats guard
ing Narragansett bay in the winter OF
1878. Possessed, he said, by an
ardent desire to meet the enemies
of his country" he applied for service
on the lakes. On the very day that
the order came for his transfer TO
Lake Erie he sent forward fifty men,
the second day he sent fifty more, an
other party started on the long jour
ney the following day, and Perry him
self started on February %, taking
with him the boy of his famous paint
ing, his brother, aged twelve years.
The wilderness trip was a hard and
tedious one, and the lake was reached
on March 81 All the men who had
been under his orders in Rhode Is
land had volunteered for the service,
so attached to him were they.
There is good reason to consider the
operations that followed on Lake Erie
as part of the history of Rhode Is
land. The interruption of commerce
by the war had thrown many captains,
mates and seamen out of employment,
with Perry on the Narragansett
fiotilla. Thus it came about that
Rhode Island had in the battle of
Lake Erie not only Perry himself, but
four of the nine commanders, a ma
jority of the sailing masters and
mates, large number of the remain
ing officers and a great many of the
sailors, besides the men who superin-
tended the rigging and arming of the
fleet.
The centenary celebration, there
fore, is a tribute to the prowess of
New England state. 1t was said years
ago by a historian that there never
was an expedition of Importance to
the country which was made up so
largely of officers and men from
single state.
