PROFESSOR GREEVER'S
SURGICAL OPERATION

We have always had a horror and
overwhelming dread of the surgeons
knife. We believe the sight, or per-
haps the very mention of the operat-
ing tables and tools of the surgeon
would cure any case of appendicitis
that might hit our anatomy. But, if
all anesthetics were as pleasantly adj
ministered, and all surgical operations
as pleasantly performed as in the case
OF Professor Greever's attempt upon
our geography eXcrescence, we would
MT object to, but rather enjoy, the
procedure. Speaking of appendicitis,
by the way, we believe Rev. ]. N
Hartman was the first to introduce
this now prevalent affection, into this
town. Some years ago he was i'll, and
his physicians said something about
appendicitis, and went on to explain,
that the little, mysterious member
called the appendix, which every nor
NAL individual was supposed to carry
around with him, sometimes got out
of tix-clogged with cherry seed,
grape seed or some other foreign ar
ticle of diet, which, being unable to
digest, the appendix, in the kindness
of its nature became inflamed, dis
eased, and the only remedy was the
knife. The surgeon looked wise, and
explained the process in detail, etc,
and left to prepare for the operation,
and also to give the patient time for
very serious thought and reflection.
From that moment "The Chief" began
to recover, and up to this good hour
if he has ever had since pain in
the region of the appendix he has kept
it to himself, and also kept his appen-
dix.
"But this is another story" The
editor of the Clinch Valley News has
never once thought or minated that
the study of geography is unneces-
sary. 1t is necessary and useful as
well as interesting, if properly
taught. But the usual method of
teaching, if we understand the meth
cd now employed, is at least two
thirds useless and waste of time.
Our contention has been, and is still,
that bad, cumbersome method is lit
tie, if any better, than no method at
all. AS Mr.. Greever says, much de-
ponds upon the teacher. The staff of
Elijah becomes powerless in the weak
hands of his unsanctified servant.
Professor Growers article will do
good, and he has the editors thanks,
particularly for the courteous and fine
spirit in which it was written.
We ask him now, and also anyone
else in the county interested, for his
views on the question of compulsory
education. This is a live question,
and one that must be met. If he will,
we may have an opportunity to recip-
rocate and use the scalping knife on
his bumps and "excrescences."

A WARNING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About Kidne
Troubles

Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles.
Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician i'll nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless thick idneys are do
ing their work properly, the other or
gans cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
SUE to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths i'll 1913, in the State of New
Yorl; alone. Therefore, it behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as n kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verived testimony of
those who have used their remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish sample

Use like cold cream to subdue

come by applying little bold sulphur,
says a noted dermatologist.
He informs us that bold sulphur in

the treatment of cutaneous disorders be-

take its place in treating the irritable
and inflammatory skin affections. While
not always establishing permanent cure
it never fails to subdue the itching irri-
tation and drive the Eczema away and
it is often years later before any erup-
tion again appears. .... 80
