Kidney and Bladder Trouble
Causes Great Distress

1t gives me great pleasure to recon.
mend DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root to any.
one suffering from bladder trouble.
For four years | was troubled by hem.
orrhages from the bladder and was not
able to get any doctor who could help
me. ! was in such shape that sleep at
night was impossible on account of dis
tressng symptoms. While bending over
| would be stricken with such pain
that it was impossible for me to
straighten up. Mr., Henry, one of our
leading druggists, advised DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root; although | never had any
faith in patent medicines, as a last re-
sort | purchased dollar bottle of
Swamp. Root | noticed decided change
and after using two bottles | was com
pletely cured 1t seemed remarkable
that | should be cured SO quickly after
being i'll so long. But since this took
place, nearly two years ago, | have never
been troubled and would highly advise
anyone suffering from the same trouble
to at least give Swamp Root a trial,
and | think the results will be the same
as mine.

MENTAL HYGIENE.
Of Great Value in Development of Back
ward Children.

The duties of a physician no longer
consist simply of the dispensing of pills
and powders from pair of saddle bags
as in the days of our fathers. He is
now frequently called upon to give an
opinion as to whether certain water is
safe for drinking purposes, whether a
given article of food is suitably adapted
to the needs of the human economy to
! furnish fuel and energy to sustain life.
He may be called upon to give advice
of technical nature as to the sanitary
construction of homes or workshops or
advice which calls for a knowledge of
| engineering as in the drainage of ponds
and bitches for the prevention of ma
! laria.
| In addition to these duties he may be
called upon to render an opinion as to
the mental status of an individual espe
cially in cases of legal nature in which
question arises as to the mental ca
pacity of person making his last will
and testament or whether an individual
was of sound or unsound mind at the
time he is alleged to have committed
some crime.
placed upon physicians as brought out
in an article on mental deficiency in a
recent issue of the public health reports
which deals with certain public health
aspects of mental deficiency with refer
ence to this condition among school chill
dren. 1t is pointed out that while school
children and others may be suspected
OF being mentally defective il will fall
to the lot of the physician to make the
final decision which will classify these
persons as predetermined.
The disposition OF these cases, that is.
whether they shall be placed in special
classes or separate institutions, will
largely depend on the judgment of the
medical examiner.
Increasing attention is being paid TO
the question of mental capacity among
school children in relation TO school
work. When child is found TO be back
ward in school there will usually be
found some cause for his lack of progress
and in determining the cause il is nee
essary to inquire thoroughly into his
physical and mental condition. BY THIS
means il may often be possible 20 insti-
Iute corrective and preventive measures
which will decrease the IN effects Of
feeble mindedness and enable the back
ward child to reason sqd TO care for him
self. Reasoning power in the normal
person enables him TO meet new situs
lions and solve new problems. And il
i this ability 20 reason and to meet the
various problems Of life as they arise
which distinguishes the normal from
he defective mind. The new physician
must be able to estimate the varying
degrees OF detection in order TO advise
lygienic measures that viii contribute

The Honolulu Taxi Co., pioneer com
pany in its line, in this CITY,. has .es-
tablished itself in new and larger
quarters on Pauahi street near Fort

Notwithstanding the fact that since
the advent of taxicabs in Honolulu,
there have followed in this company's
wake several similar concerns, Geo.
Ikeda, manager of the company, re-
ports that business is good and get
ting better. 49,
Aside from the regular transporta-
ton business, this enterprising con-
Germ is now prepared to respond to
calls for assistance, of any nature,
from autoists who may be IN temper
airy difficulties on the road, or else
where. A day and night service in
this regard will be maintained.
This should prove boon to auto
mobile owners of Honolulu. Mr.. Ikeda
opines that in giving the people full
value and making reasonable charges
for tires, tubes and repairs, his bust
ness should continue to develop and
gain the confidence of the public at
large. AS a demonstration of his
good faith, he is now selling gasoline
at zoe per gallon and lubricating oil
at zoe per quart, while the regular
price is Csc in both cases.

THE GRINGO SAYS
c. G. HEISER, JR.

"AIl through Mexico one is struck
with the general dislike for Ameri-
cans or 'gringoes,' as they are called,
The Mexicans seem to feel that our
administration has brought upon them
most of their troubles We are ac-
cused of aiding in upsetting their
chances Of establishing a stable gov
eminent by lifting the embargo on
arms said c. G.. Heiser, Jr., in his
address on Experiences in Mexico,
at the Y. ". c. A. last evening.
The dislike for the president of
the United States is very keen. The
Mexicans seem to feel that he. per
sonally. has brought on all the trou-
bic. They say that If he had early
recognized Huerta he could have Sc
cured financial aid from Europe and
succeeded In putting down the rebel
lion. While it is generally conceded
that Huerta is responsible for the
death Of Madero yet we are told that
we should not Judge Mexican polit-
ical moral acts by the standards Of
cur own country.
1T makes a good Americans blood
boil but it is not policy to express
himself All of the time one is in
Mexico he has a decided feeling of
unrest, feeling that something may
happen to you and you don't know just

ing" concluded Mr.. Heiser. Mr.. Hell
ser showed his audience a very fine
set of pictures which he had taken
during the time he was in Mexico.

!. PHYSICIANSHIP

and county physician was receiv-
ed and accepted. The resignation
takes effect on May Is. DR.. Way
son has been in charge of, the Kalihi
Receiving Station for some years, and
is noted for the curative measures he
has introduced to stay the ravages of
leprosy.
Another resignation was turned in
to the board, and it was that of Mr.,
r. Anderson who, for some time past,
has been lecturing on tuberculosis all
over the country. Mr.. Anderson has
been appointed assistant superinten-
dent of the Leahi Home. No success
sor will be appointed at present on &C.

sible amount, 49,,
According to report, the vacancy
created by the resignation OF Dr. j. L.

DR.. Mccoy is at present on Molo-
kai at the federal station on that is
land. He will. if the present plan is
carried out, be in charge of both the

4 Beautiful Tribute.

I In writing of the death OF Mrs. E. D.
Kerr the Abbeville Press and Banner
of the 18th, says:
The deceased was reared in Abbe-
Vile where her sunny disposition
made her general favorite. She
taught in the graded schools of this
iplace, giving entire satisfaction, and
the while endearing herself to hun.
dreds of little children, who speak
most affectionately of her.
I Great sympathy is felt for Mrs.
White and the surviving members of
her family. 1t has fallen to the lot
OF but few families to experience so
many tragic deaths within the home
circle. Within the space of a few
years sne has lost her husband, one
of Abbeville's most substantial Cit
izens, her eldest son, in the prime Of
manhood and suse;ulness, another
son, just assuming the responsibilities
of life, and now her youngest daugh-
er, bright, attractive, womanly; on
whom the mothers heart leaned for
solace and comfort in her sorrow.
Mrs. Kerr was married less than
a year ago to Rev. E. D. Kerr, Pres
byterian minister, of Newberry, S. C..
Lille seemed to hold Lor her many
pleasures and none greater than that
of devotion to duty in the broad field
offered to the minister's wife. And
it may be truly said that she was we'll
equipped for her seemingly destined
Life work. Kind, gentle, sympathetic
she would surely have carried peace
and love into the homes she visited.
But she has gone, while yet the sun
shine of youth was in her soul. Dark
and unfathomable as is this mystery
o. providence, there is light and COM
fort in the short life allotted to her
And in little while, a very little
while, the broken links OF the family
chain will be reunited The longest
life is but a breath in the plan of
eternity
While the heart is sick with promise
blighted it is hard to realize that
death too, is part of a Fathers plan
administered in love- Man knows only
that which is temporal. and it is
hard, humanity speaking, 10 find peace
and comfort in the promise: what 1
do thou knowest not now: but thou
shalt know hereafter"
