FOR HOW LONG?
Bridgeport Raises 3 Perti.
 nent Question.


 When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious Illness, the first question that naturally arises is. HOW long will he keep weI1?'' Temporary relief is one thing, but a lasting cure is altogether diff ferent. There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the following Bridgeport evil dence proves beyond a doubt.
 Mrs. Natalie w. Goessinger, 2Os Main street, Bridgeport, says: "I had kidney complaint and my back ached intensely. Mornings, my back was sore and lame and it was an effort for me to stoop over. I tired easily and had headaches and dizzy spells. The secretions from my kidneys pass ed -irregularly and I was afflicted with other symptoms of kidney trou- bIe. When I read about Doan's Kid ney Pills, I got some and they soon cured me of all signs of kidney com p1aint. The cure has been a lasting one. You may keep on publishing the endorsement I have previously given Deans Kidney PfIls.''

 There has been considerable discus sion recently of the old question of cancer houses and sscancer streets
 Statements by eminent investigators. which have been given wide currency, have tended to strengthen the impres sion that there are houses and streets where the disease occurs with un- usual frequency, the Implication be- ing that a relation Of some kind exists and that cancer is i'm some way an infectious disease. This view and the alleged evidence to support 1t were ford. the general director Of the work of the Inpernal cancer research fund. in his report to the annual meeting of the Fund. held in London in July. Ac-. cording to Dr. Bashford, cancer houses in the sense that people ltv- ing in them become infected, are as much of a myth as cancer cages in the case of animals, and he hopes that these fancied dangers Twill cease alike to alarm the public and divert the energies of investigators from fruitful lines of inquiry According to Dr. Bashford he public Is misIed by statements based on simple emu meration of houses in which one, twos or three, or more cases Of cancer had occurred. Such an inquiry can be only prelimina to an accurate de- termination ofSwhether cancer is real
 
 another, To reach the true conclusion it would be necessary to consider all the deaiIs of tn population. not only of the "cancer houses but also of the oher houses in the same neigh borhood as to age, sex nature and site of the disease, duration Of stay; occupation and habits Some houses might be sought after by old people because Of low rental or a house might be let to couples without chill dren or it might be freuuented by aged lodgers Even if it were scien- tidcaiIy established that cancer is more frequent in certain houses, it would be sfallacious to jump to the conclusion that cancer is infectious Tn all such inquiries we must not over look the great frequency Of the dis eases In certain houses and certain localities. As pr. Bashford points out. the British statistics for 1911 show that out of a total or 146.703 deaths of males over 35 years of age. I IA s963s died of cancer, and out of 45,- l 270 deaths of females over 5 years l Of age, Is, 583l died cd cancer. It. IS easy to calculate therefrom that the chance that a. man over 35 will die from cancer is one in 9.7, and for a woman over 35, one in "A. It would l indeed be strange if this large number of deaths from cancer were distribut- 1 ed evenly and it is perfectly natural l to suppose that some houses and some l families would exhibit many more l cases and might even by the laws 1 Of chance continue to exhibit a high rate over long periods of time The conclusion that cancer is either in- fectious or hereditary would, on such evidence be uTlwarranted. Sir Thorn- as Oliver in a, recent address referred I to one street in which between 1893 and 1908, nineteen persons and one l dog had died of cancer. Careful ex- f animation shows that the death rate of this street was only a little above l the average for the whole country.

 Dear Doctor: Would be pleased if you would give me Information con cerning epilepsy. MRS. o. w
 As mention in the Home Health Club book, Vol. 2 on the subject of epilepsy. my opinion is that more epilepsy are caused by injury and Ilmore than, 50 per cent. are probably
 due to excesses, bad habits, improper
 diet, excessive mental work, constf- patton, 1ndigestions worms, etc. If the trouble is due to an injury to the spine would advise osteopathic
 treatment and many are the cases I have treated th@I were entirely over come by such means. But if not due to an injury then there will be no re- lief in osteopathy.
 Epifeptics usually notice some peculiar sensations just preceding an attack. and they serve as warnings. 1 Among such symptoms may be no- ticed sudden diarrhoea or constipa- ton, twitching Of the muscles, head-
 ache, dizziness, hal1ucfnations, creepy sensations, great thirst, or ravenous hunger, sudden perspiration, bleed ing at the nose, cramps, chiIls and
 others. Knowing these symptoms an attack may be warded off. For in- stance, if sudden constipation is a
 
 l the attack. If there are stomach
 disturbances an enetic may be of service. There are 2 different kinds
 of epilepsy as generally recognized by the profession, one of a more se- lvere character known as Grand Nal
 known as Petit Nal.
 Epilepsy Is not as a rule ineonsist- lent with long life and comparative
 freedom from disease but as a rule
 victims of the disease gradually lose 1 mental and physical vigor, to a 1 greater or less extent. While the
 convulsions in Grand Nal may be very severe and last for quite a while, j the time of loss of consciousness in cases of Petit Nal is only for a mo- trecp1lection whatever of what is go- ling on, nor is he conscious of having
 been sick.
 During an attack nothing can be
 done beyond loosening the clothing. Turning the patient on the side so as | to allow the sa1yia to escape and putting piece of hardWoood be- tween the teeth to hinder injury to I the tongue. Should the fit continue
 beyond all reason. cold water may be dashed in the face, or warm bath given followed by dashing cold wa I plasters over the back, or even ap- plying electricity. Between the l paroxynns greatest care must be ex- ercised concerning the diet and hy- I giene. Frequent and regular exer- else in the open air, freedom from I mental exertion and study. comforts I able clothing, avoidance of all ex- cesses, abstinence from tea. coffee. alcoholic drinks, daily baths with l friction and a light, but nutritious
 diet Medication if employed must be directed to the apparent troubles sI incident to individual E cases. Bro- 1 naides are frequently prescribed by
 our general practitioners to lessen
 violence of attacks, but they only dc J so by injuring the nervous system.
 The method of treatment mentioned in the Vol. 2 consists of hydrothera- l peutic measures and many are those ! who have been entirely and perma- I nentIy relieved by such simple
 means.

advance of one cent hundred pounds
was presented today before W. H.
Daniels. interstate commerce cOmmls-
sioner in the hearing of the petition
Of I'll western railroad systems for
permission to increase their freight
rates on certain commodities.
Exhaustive exhibits covering the
different features of cost OF hauling
and revenue from freight, particularly
grain on the AtChison. Topeka x Santa
Te railroad, were introduced by {. w

ness for the shippers who are oppos-
ing the proposed freight rate increase,
The compilation of Santa Fe grain
and grain products was similar to that
introduced by him regarding the grain
hauled by the Chicago * Northwest
ern roads two days ago.
For the entire Santa Fe system
last year the freight earnings were
SCI, ,0S9,21O.73, and the operating eX-
penses S43,324, ,345.72,' said Mr.
hillman.
THE operating ratio was 70.l9 pei
cent on wheat the earnings were
$162,2S5.9O: expenses SS7, 7,979.54; OPP
Grating ratio 542l3 per cent. Taking
grain separately or in combination, we
find that the relative earnings are IN
every instance considerably in excess
of those received on all freight traf-
fic handling by the Santa Fe system
including high class less than carload
merchandise.
Counsel for the railroads challenged

Cording to Levy Mayer Of counsel for
the three banks concerned in the
suits. The banks are: The Continen-
tai and Commercial National bank,
the Continental and Commercial

The Continental and Commercial
National bank suit asks for the re-
turn of S2LG37.34, alleged to be taxes
of ode-tenJh Of one per cent paid on

and other property not used in the
banking business The other banks
asked for the return of smaller
