MORE AS TO OUR ROADS.
Perpetual Vigilance Is the Price 1t
Takes to Get Good Ones.

Editor Keowee Courier: In a pre-
vious article the writer called atten-
ton to the Importance of better
roads. Now it will be my object to
offer few suggestions, in the hone
that general improvement may be
reached and result in a more econom-
ical system.
For years it has been the custom
Of the Supervisors, once year. to
run over the roads with a scrape,
with four mules attached, taking the
roads as they come, working where
not needed the same as where need
ed. The road scrape Is a most ex-
cellent tool, but it should not be used
Unfortunately. There are places
where it's use Is harmful, and it Is
used only, to make a beautiful land
scape and to correspond all alon e, at
the expense of utility, thus having an
eye single to beauty-to please the
fools. Few nave, learned the lesson
taught by the poet
Beauty is but skin deep,
Ugly Is to the bone;
Beauty. may fade away,
But ugly holds it's own"
The wayfaring man wants road
IA-t W III uolu IUS own duu ilOC lOS6 1CS
foundation every time 1t rains. The
Supervisor end his satellites should
look beneath the exterior of road
as well as that OF an individual,
otherwise they may be deceived as to
foundation.
Water and boys should not be al
lowed to collect without proper safe
guards. One who has spent more
than six years on the road, in all
kinds Of weather, would be regarded
as stupid If he did not learn some
thing by experience and observation,
and If patriot he wishes others to
benefit by 1t.
Remedy.
Let those in power employ relia-
BILE man to go over certain beat as
often as necessary with a cotton hoe
and remove the rubbish from side
bitches that empty on the road side;
empty the cups that form in the road.
In six hours the writer has known a
cup that could be drained by thirs-
ty OK to develop into a hole large
enough to- bury the OK in. This shows
that a much-traveled road demands
constant oversight. Any enterprise
that is visited once or twice a year
will bankrupt the county. Perpetual
vigilance is no less the price Of lib
erty than it is Of good roads. More

insist that Doctor is never justified in giving
anything to patient unless he is confident it is for
the patient good. 1t is really surprising how many
men pay money for treatment that is useless and n
many instances does actual harm
man called on me yesterday who had been laid
UP in bed couple of years ago for four months and
during that time had sounds passed to his bladder
causing excruciating pain and Distress and the pas
sage of sounds in his condition was absolutely vi
Cious.
Another man writes me that he is by advice of
Doctor using permanganate of potash solution, the
Doctor having told him the trouble was very slight
and the potash solution would cure that in a few
days. In the first place the permanganate of pot
ash solution has been practically discarded by every
one of prominence in this line of work. and Doctors
who follow fads without knowing the why and where
fore of things still keep using and still keep do
ing their patients harm rather than good.
A gentleman called on me yesterday for an ex-
animation and found him suffering from serious
nervous affection, eyes badly affected and in fact
physical wreck.
Now listen to the line of reasoning by the Doctor
The patient complained first with certain symptoms
which believe be clearly credited to long con-
tinued LaGrippe and exposure to cold, but because
these symptoms sometimes occur following Specific
Blood Poison the Doctor concludes he ought to have
$685. which he proceeded to give, assuring the pa
tient that this would end his troubles
"606 was given and two Doctors worked over
the patient for hours afterward to save his life and
at the present time his condition can fairly be at
tributed to the 606 AS matter of fact the reason
ing of the Doctor was bad, very bad and his giving
a dangerous drug a chance of hope that it might
do good was bad judgment to say the least.

Is a Doctors Duty?
the Doctors Selfish Interest?
Blu DIR. WIN. NJ. BAIRD

A gentleman called on me recently to have a GER
tain operation which he didn't need Now many
physicians would have performed it at once and
justified their course by saying WELL he wants it,
and If he wants it, might as well have the fee for
it as to let him go to some one else"
All of which I think is a decidedly bad, in fact,
vicious code of ethics to guide doctor.
BY my outspoken denunciation of some of these
things during the past few years. have incurred the
enmity of some of these fakers but call atten
tention here to the fact that they have stopped Take
for instance the violet ray treatment for strcture
which at ceased to exist when turned the light
upon it, the fve-day cure of certain diseases is
longer Haunted to the public vision, and it is only
question of time when $685. will be in the scrap
pile as it practically is at present. for thirds of
that given is a fake preparation, for the operator
has no desire to the genuine when he knows it is
dangerous.
I know of one instance where man advertises
to give it, and claims to have given it hundreds of
times, and to friend he confded he had never given
it but once and then the effects of it on the patient
nearly scared him silly, and from that time he in
ects coored water and then tells the patient he must
take medicine ALSO Why in the world if it is cure
should the doctor give other medicine afterward?
Sometime ago patient called on me in decided
neurasthenic condition with vital powers very much
exhausted and requested me to give him antitoxin
as he had reasoned it out by some process of false
reasoning that this might be beneficial Of course
I refused, but he went to a surgeon, who admins
tered it, or at least made the patient believe he did,
6Ilu u1L1lldG6 I6SulG we'll O6 lIudgl16u Lie
patient afterward returned to me and is to-day en-
tirely WELL but still continues to "cuss' the Doctor
who gave him what he wanted given.
Commercialism is hurting the medical profession
for there is not day goes by but what I hear pa
tients who have consulted and been treated by many
physicians giving the Doctors anything but good
reputation, and the keynote of their opinion in
variaby that all the Doctors thought of the fee
No one questions but what the Doctor should be
paid for his service but fair remuneration for proper
service should be all anyone should ask and in the
end believe it will pay best
