.THE BIRTH OF A NATION"

The period of the reconstruction, SO
wildly brought back to the memory
of those who may have gone through
it and reproduced afresh for those
newer generations who now view it for
the first time, in Grifith's Birth Of
a Nation" shows the time of John
sons administration and he, as the ma
TONS executive, in the hands of ring
of politicians and pOwer-seekers, who
are manipulating the affairs Of the
South to suit their own ends. 1t turns
to the ruins Of the fiower-decked South
Carolina village of ante bellum days,
the place where the blacks were
light hearted and care-free, even I'M
der the bonds of slayery-turns back
to the town that by war has been left
half in ruins, the streets grass-grown,
the stately mansions of the old days
tottering and crumbling; to town
where those once wealthy now are in
direst poverty-where the "black is
as good as a white man." as was the
slogan of the Northern men of the
Lynch and Stoneman type.
Women are menaced by the black
miniOns of the northern whites, or are
attacked, whites are driven from the
streets, menaced by the colored
troops, or assaulted. Homes are in
vaded. Justice is a forgotten thing.
The land knows no law, but that con-
ceived by the race then in control.

Then-the chivalry of the whites is
given new life. The Ku Klux Khan is
formed. These riders of the night, in
ghostIy whites, rally by dozens, by
scores, and hundreds and thousands.
They ride like the wind. They strike
without warning, but are far more
deadly than the rattIesnake
This all, wonderful, soul-stirring,
breath taking as it is, is. but another
Of the innumerable dramas within
dramas of which "The Birth Of Ma
ton" consists
This glorious spectacle is to be Civ
en- here in its entirety, with its ac-
companying symphony orchestra, it's
effect paraphernalia and its trained
mechanicians for that purpose and is
to be put on here in the same fashion
down to the smallest detail that amaz-
ed New York and the other cities.

SURE CURES.

1t must have been noticed by regu-
lar readers of this paper that almost
never has space been given to rene
dies and to suggestions for self-treat-
ment And this in spite of realiza-
ton from the beginning that publish
ing prescriptions and formulas for
"sure cure" remedies offered an oppor-
tunity for quick popularity.
Consideration for the vested
rights" of physicians has not deferred
such publication. Neither has it been
lack of prescriptions, because access
to books with lists of thousands of
remedies and formulas is easy.
With the knowledge that the great
mass of newspaper readers furnish
them freely, what has been the reason
for discussing causes and nature OF
diseases rather than remedies? Hon
esty forbids-honesty and a whole
some respect for the harm that misin-
formation and misdirected information
may do. Scrupulous physicians know
that only a few remedies can
stand alone-such as quinine for ma
laria, mercury for syphilis, antitoxin
for diphtheria, iron for anaemia and
various remedies for constipation.
Practically all other remedies depend
for whatever virtues they possess up
on the intelligence or luck with which
they are administered.
But even those listed depend upon
correct knowledge of the condition
to be treated and again upon proper
dosage cased upon requirements OF
the individual patient. Thus, in the
south where malaria is so common,
thousands of patients have died of
consumption while taking enormous
quantities of quinine for the malaria
they supposed they had. And no
body knows how many patients have
died of appendicitis through a power
full "physic' administered for what
was supposed to be indigestion or
cholara morbus.
Anaemia, also, is seldom a simple
condition. Usually it is but a symp-
tom of some more serious internal
disease and will disappear only when
the obscure cause is discovered and
removed. Chronic indigestion is an
other snare 1t is so frequently due
to cancer or tuberculosis that no pa
tient, doctor, or druggist is warrant
ed in administering stomach remedies
until he knows as we'll as can be
learned that one of these diseases is
not the cause of the distress.
Nothing, therefore, is more import
ant for people to learn than that dag
nosis rather than skilled medication
is the all important thing in the sue
cessful treatment of disease. And that
is why this bureau will continue to dis
cuss the principles and nature OF dis
ease and firmly refuse to be an accom-
plice in shortening the lives Of mis-
guided citizens.
