IN SEARCH OF HEALTH
Medical Research Serves to Prove
There Are No Universal Remedies

| The public believes that every disease
has its remedy, and in the search for that
remedy hundreds of cults have sprung up,
says the Bulletin of the American Medi-
cal association. One man pins his faith
to minute doses of powerful drugs; an
other walks barefoot over wet grass; an
confident that mud baths induce health
and still another urges us to chew each
mouthful of food at least 30 times before
swallowing. No doubt every one of these
cures" is of some benefit to some form
Of disease. The mistake of followers of
the treatments is in thinking their par
ticuiat remedy is a cure-ail Tor every mall
ady.
There are no universal remedies. Every
type of disease must receive special at
tention and be treated in the way long
experience and study mas taught is best
adapted to the case. Certain ills respond
quickly to drugs the virtues of which are
sometimes wonderfully effective; others
neeo nothing but fresh air; still others
a change of climate, while a variety of
diseases need no drugs and no journeys
10 the mountains, but are best relieved
by simple dieting. And just as the va
iiety of drug preparations Is almost be-
yond the power of the maker to recall
and is daily being increased by the chem
ist and pharmacist, so great variety of
remedies has been brought out that can
not be considered as drugs, but which
stiil possess singular curative proper
ties.
Some diseases are best relieved by spe-
eia1 foods prepared of materials that do
not aggravate the abnormal condition of
the patient, but that tend to remove the
disturbing cause. Many of these prepara-
tons advertised as spsclal foods contain
ingredients which are harmful to persons
suffering from these diseases. Diabetic
foods are supposed to contain gluten in
r;ace of starch, yet most of the CONNER
cial diabetic fiours are by no means pure
gluten since they contain considerable
quantities of starch. Some of them are
nothing more than whole wheat or graham
flour, and are positively dangerous for
diabetic invalids use. They are sold at
high price and their merits Ere explained
IN misleading and untruthful advertise
ments.
food adulteration in no form assumes
r,ore dangerous attitude than when II
nuts on the garb of medicinal prepara-
tnns and poses as a cure for serious dis
eases Patients depending on fraudulent
,betie fours would fare better on their
ordinary diet for while they feel secure
in consuming breads made from the sup
posedly starch-free flour, they may be
indulging in sufficient starchy iood TO
bring their malady to Il speedy and fatal
te, mination.

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
No. Ex-senator Nor gan and the Lodge Bill
Thomas G. ones, Governor
1S74-1901

An abnormal relation of the states of

The possession of that government by
the republican party since the election OF
Lincoln in 1860 broken by almost the acci-
dental election of the democrat Cleveland.
hac been resumed now by the defeat of
Cleveland for reelection, and the sue
cess of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, an ex-
treme partisan.
Promptly with the return of the re-
publican administration the two senator's
from Massachusetts, Hoar, great law
Yer, and Lodge, an eminent man of let
ters, offered each bill to regulate cleo
tons for representatives in Congress oy
federal courts and their marshals and
deputy marshals.
The Lodge bill being under consideration
IN the Senate in the early days of De-
cember 1890 speaking in opposition, Sem
ator Berry from Arkansas, a one-leg Con-
federate veteran, explained the probable
operation of its provisions by experience
In his state with a similar law 20 years
before. In 1892 the republican chief justice
OF Arkansas was chairman of the state
committee Of the republican party ard
also editor of the daily newspaper, pub
lished at the capital of the state, which
Was the official organ of tnat party. The
chief Justice planned the party methods

said the phrase. "sef-government' was
peculiar to the English tongue. No other
language contained 1t. If the Lodge cleo
ton bill should become law the diction-
aries of the English language must be
left with word that had no meaning.
This bill carries oayonet with every
voter IL the federal supervisor chooses
,sto put 1t there exclaimed the manned
Vjrginian Confederate veteran.
Senator George from Mississippi spoke
four consecutive hours co the bill in op
position. reading the whole from manu-
script.
Revelations of public opinion touching
the bill were remarkable. From New
York or New Jersey petitions came
against 1t. From Mississippi petitions
came for enactment into law. Senator
Walthall from the last named, reminded
the Senate of the inconsistency of that
tflom his state. The county sending in the
largest number of names was Bolivar.
Bolivar county maintained "A civil Of
ficers, Al of whom were already negroes.
Other counties in that state were largely
in control of negro officers.
But admitting that the lately framed
constitution of Mississippi did prescribe
certain qualifications for the electorate,
the prescription was not more drastic than
that of Massachusetts. Both Massachu-
sctts and Connecticut forbade the priv
Jnege of the suffrage to men who could not
read the constitution of the state. The
newly admitted state of Wyoming refused
the right to vote to all who could not
read the constitution of the United States.
