CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.
Newberry Newspaper Man Gives Easy
NOme Treatment

Newberry Newspaper Man Gives Easy
Home Treatment.
Newberry, Oct. 9.-It was noted in
the daily papers several days ago that
about dozen persons had been bitten
by mad dog, and that they had gone
to take the Pasteur treatment Mr.. r.
II. Greneker, the local reporter for The
Herald and News, has written for the
next issue Of the paper a story of
receipt for hydrophobia, which receipt
Is In the possession Of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. f. G. Wright, of Laurens coun-
ty, and a copy of which he made while
on visit to Mr. Wright's home the
past summer 1t Is said to be a sure
cure. Thinking 1t might be Of some
service to these unfortunate people
who have been bitten by this dog, The
News and Courier correspondent is
sending his story as it will appear in
The Herald and News of tomorrow.
The story follows:
While The Herald and News re-
porter (then on The Observer) was
spending brief vacation at the home
OF his brothcr-in-law, Mr. William T..
Wright, In Laurens County, the past
summer, he saw negro woman who,
when she was a child, had been cured
OF hydrophobia. Mr.. Wright said he
knew of several persons who had been
cured by the same treatment We have
taken the pains to copy the article in
the possession of Mr.. Wright, which is
as follows:
Judge Robert j. Brcckinridgc, of
Danvillc, Ky, one Of the most learned
iurists Of the South. gave the follow
ing sure cure for hydrophobia:
one ounce and half OF Elccam-
pane root; bruised; put into pint of
new milk and reduced one half by
boiling. Take it all at once i'm the
morning, fasting until afternoon, or
at least not eating until several hours
have passed. The second dose should
be the same as the first, except two
ounces Of the root are needed The
third dose should be the same as the
second. Three doses arc all that is
needed for the cure. This medicine
can be given at any time before the
SpaSmS come upon the bitten person
dose for a horse or SOW should be
three or four times as large as that

TEETH AND DISEASE.

Only In late years has the idea been
advanced that the condition Of ones
teeth, and especially children, and
ones general health, are closely re.
lated, the general health depending
largely on the condition of the teeth.
Tens of thousands have gone to their
graves through ignorance of this fact,
and to help spread this new gospel,
this new era of scientific research
and discovery, the Eagle gladly lends
its columns In the propagation of
those truths that are for the welfare,
the health and peace of humanity. The
following from the FL Paso Herald on
this subject is well worth the atten.
tion of all and especially parents:
"The Importance of caring for the
teeth has been frequently emphasized
as a means Of conserving health, but
perhaps the potency OF decaying teeth
In causing disease has been INSULT.
GENTLY brought out. One case, re.
Gently brought to public attention,

temperature of 105 degrees and a
pulse too rapid to count The disease
had been diagnosed by the physician
In charge as inflammation OF the heart
lining. Medicine was being given to
control the heart action, but without
favorable results.
Inquiry OF the father elected the
fact that the child was very fond OF
candy and had been INDUCED literally
In sweets. This suggested to the
health editor that perhaps her teeth
were affected. and he advised thC
father TO have the child's teeth exam

Removal OF one tooth. found upor

The Eagle urges the citizens OF
Bryan, that is, all who have the best
interests of the city at heart, to take
good look at the present High
School building when passing through
that neighborhood, compare 1t with
school buildings you know Of In other
cities, consider how far short 1t falls of
meeting the demands of the school
and what an all-round disgrace 1t is to
our otherwise progressive little city.
Brethren beloved, can we not have a
new and up.to-date building before the
close of 1917?

The farmer who now has plenty Of
corn, hay and other feedstuffs for his
horses, mules and cattle, and has his
meat and lard, raised on his own
farm is far better off than the man
who planted all cotton and must buy
all these things from the proceeds of
his cotton crop. In the first place his
cotton money will not anything like
buy as much as he will need to run
him and he will have to skimp his
family and his stock; and in the sec.
ond place, that which he buys on the
market is not anything like equal to
the homegrown variety.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious Illness makes a chemical analy.
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious resilts are
sure to follow. According to health sta.
tlstics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in orc
year, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important orgars
