Taking Medicine in the Dark.

Never take medicine in the dark
This is the advice in an interesting
little booklet found in a drug store.
II is timely and wholesome and has
a wide application. The people of this
country are too fond of taking medi-
cine in the dark They are so cTedu-
lous and so eager TO make money that
they are constantly the victims of
their own folly. \ man has made a
large fortune during the past 10
years By writing letters from Spain
to persons in this country telling the
latter about fortunes left them by
strangers on certain conditions. These
conditions always involve the payment
of money before the fortune can be
secured. 1t is amazing how many per
sons who ought TO know better have
given up from $500 to $4,000 to an
absolute stranger in the belief that
with this amount the latter stood ready
to turn over $4,000 to 100000 to his
victims.-Leslie's.

disease in natives.
Questions and Answers.
Mrs. w. Fl. S. asks: Why dc
some people perspire profusely, while
other perspire scarcely none at all?
Reply.
One reason is that the internal secre
/ tions are deficient in persons who per
spire little or none. Another reason is
that over-eating is apt to induce eXces
sive perspiration. And finally. profuse
perspiration may keep you well. where
as insufficient perspiration often ac
companies, if ii does rot tend to cause
various chronic systemic diseases.
Mrs. W. H. S. asks: Is measles
ever fatal
Reply.
Measles causes a far greater num-
Der OF deaths than scarlet fever.
]. w. inquiries: Is one who has
been successfully vaccinated against
smallpox also immune to typhoid
fever.
Reply
No. Vaccinia Ccow-pox vaccination)
protects against nothing but small
pOx. To be protected against typhoid
you must be treated with specific ty-
phoid bacterin or prophylactic.
Fireman asks: What is the present
opinion of the medical profession
regarding the olive oil treatment for
gall stones?
Reply
That the stones" obtained in such
cases are nothing else than solidifed
(saponified) Jumps of oil. and that the
treatment is no more effective than
any laxative would be.
S. s. c. inquiries: When one takes
cold I'm a wound is it advisable to
apply hot water?
Reply.
Taking cold" in wound is only an
old-fashioned way of saying that the
wound is infected. Apply nothing but
what the doctor orders.
ID. o. writes: have been told
that the X-Ray is the surest test fo-
consumption. Is this correct?
Reply.
No. An X-Ray photograph is some
times help in diagnosis.
Troubled asked: VIII You kindly
explain the difference between sciatica
and rheumatism.
Reply
Sciatica means an Inflammation of
the sciatic nerve which extends down
the back of the leg from the lower
spine. Rheumatism is name loosely
applied to various Joint troubles. In
some instances the doctor calls n
"sciatie rheumatism" and later on
drops whichever half OF the diagnosis
proves wrong.

A baby boy was born yesterday on
the steamer Bowling Green on Green
river. near Evansville. Ind, and the
thouehtless parents yielded to dia-
bolicaI suggestion that the younEster
he named Steamboat Bill. While the
fair Juliet tried to argue herself into
believing that there Is nothing in a
name. the weight of authority Is
against her. Waving the discussion
OF spondees and dactyls which Mr..
Wilson's metamorphosis of his name
has provoked. we but appeal to COM
mon experience that the life of child
may be blighted by its name. Often
the entire character is changed.
Steamboat Bill must become a little
pugilist or lose his self-respect. The
first time he appears on the play
ground some irreverent lad will begin
to foot" in imitation of a steam
boat. even If he does not try to make
a noise like a calliope. Those reckless
parents do not dream of the troubles
they are needlessly stacking up for
their helpless offspring.
In this time o. voluntary Organiza-
tons it is singular that there is not
society to correct the abuse of nam
ing children. That parents are seldom
sane when the names are chosen viii
be generally agreed. II there were
no direct evidence the names are tes-
timony enough. A novel, play or
political campaign may inflict de
spised name on a child for life. Care
full parents do not name their children
after living statesmen. The 13-year-

CENSORSHIP OF NEWS

A dispatch from the Associated
Press headquarters in New York gives
an explanation why there has been
such scarcity o, news giving the Ger
man side OF the present controversy.
The dispatch states that since the ca
bies TO Germany have been cut. moth
ing but exceedingly meager service
through London is possible from any
points within either the German. the
Russian or Austro-Hungariau empires.
The dispatch further states that this
news is vigorously censored by |he
British authorities and also that news
from France and Belgium f. all sub
1ect to Ike governmental censorship.
The press censorship Of all news
sent out from Europe makes 81 i'm
possible for the Associated Press or
any news service 10 send out news
which at this time would no doubt
prove very interesting reading 10 the
world. The movements o. all OF the
armies engaged IN this European con
ffct have been kept well guarded from
the public. The dispatches from Paris

mite information as TO the positions

II is very natural and necessary that
these warning nations keep their ma
neuvers secret.
Censorship. however. will not be
able to keep reports OF great battles
from reaching the public through the
Associated Press which is on the alert
in all localities where fighting is likely
to occur. The Associated Press has
never yet failed to place censorship in
the discard in the course Of time.

Brady,M.D.

Italians are very fond of "pros-
ciutto," that is smoked ham which is
eaten raw. But it is a dangerous deli
cacy. In spite OF government inspec-
/ ton meat that is infected with trichina
will occasionally get through. and the
results are serious for those who eat
I il without thorough cooking.
A we'll educated young Italian ate
a piece of prosecute" at a friends
house one evening. Six days later
his eyelids became swollen, and his
family accused him of having
been drinking. though he had not
drunk anything. At the same time
he began to suffer with pains in his
arms and legs and feel little chilly
sensations running up and down his
back.
He visited a druggist who listened
to his complaint, looked at his eyes.
told him it was just grip and rec.
commended some tablets which he
assured the patient would relieve
him.
What the Doctor Found.
\ day or two later the family ply
stefan was summoned. By this time
the whole face looked somewhat
swollen and flushed. The pains had
become worse than ever. He com
planned particularly of the jaws. the
temples. the back of the neck. the
sides OF the chest, the arms and the
calves OF the legs. There was much
prostration. but very little fever.
A blood examination now con-
firmed the suspicion aroused by the
swollen eyelids and the general mus
cular pains. That is, il was found
that there was n marked increase in
the proportion OF white blood cor
puscles which take a red stain in the
standard staining solution. This in
crease is characteristic of parasitic
invasions.
Under cocaine a small fragment Of
muscle was removed from the calf.
II showed numerous. actively moving
trichina worms.
The patient recovered completely In
two or three weeks.
Trichina infection from raw or in
sufficiently cooked pork is more
common than commonly supposed
It is often mistaken for grip" ty-
phoid fever. muscular rheumatism.
neuritis. acute Bright's disease and
many other diseases.
The characteristic symptoms are
swelling of the eyelids and face.
pains in the muscles OF the jaw.
neck. arms. legs and back, moderate
fever prostration. and the history of
eating pork. The blood examination,
II suggestive may point the need of
a microscopical examination OF a bit
OF muscle, which clinches the dag
nosis.
Sausages are a common source of
among Italians In Amer
lea, and sometimes a cause OF the
