YOUR HEALTH
Ulcers.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

E.-P1edSe say 3cord about ul-
GERS, their cause and effects, and
the proper tredtment-if they are
responsible to treatment. / have
heard a strict dict is beneficial in
alcer Of the stomach. What are
some Of the symptoms?
AnSDer-An ulcer is simply a
sore upon the skin or mucous
membrane, in other words, break
ing down of the cells, frequently
with only slight tendency to get
well
In the latter respect ulcers differ
from healthy wounds which begin
to get wool almost as soon as they
are formed or made.
Ulcers may be caused by injury,
by burns, and by poor nutrition of
the tissues where they occur.
They may be accompanied with
sloughing or destruction Of the
tissue, and perhaps by reabsorption
Of dead and poisonous material.
They are often attended with
haemorrhage and with great weak
ness In consequence of the pro-
longed discharge which comes from
them, and which means waste of
tissue without proper strength for
repair.
This is particularly the case with
ulcers which attend such diseases
as syphilis and tuberculosis.
Ulcers which accompany these
diseases are often incurable unless
means are found to cure the dis
eases which caused them. The
treatment Of ulcers should be con-
stitutional and consist IN building
up the general condition; and also
local, which Is directed to the sore
itself.
The first will include all neces-
sary hygienic measures, comfort
able and we'll ventilated housing,
sleep, exercise in the open air. good
food, including an abundance of
milk, and perhaps such tonics as
cod-liver oil, quintn stryehnine
and iron.
Local treatment includes cleanli-
ness and frequent dressing of the
ulcer, and the application of astrin-
gent and stimulat'1~ substances

HOLLAND WILL FIGHT

Holland will fight if her sovereignty or independence
threatened says Dr. Henry Van Dyke who was United
States minister to the Netherlands for four years He
says the Hoanders above every thing else loyal to
their country and will scrap anything or any nation that
undertakes to destroy their autonomy They are great
lighters too and entered into the war they will go
the limit even to breaking the dykes and flooding great
areas of their country 1t is unfortunate that the allies
are not at the moment ready to throw half million men
into Holland to assist her. If this could be done Holland
would turn on the kaiser at once She knows that the
KAISER has his eye on and only awaits the opportunity to
benevolently assmiate her. 1t is only because she is
small and feels unable to cope with the Hun that she hest
tates at ALL If the kaiser however attacks her he will
sure start something.

THE FARMERS CHOICE.
(Silverton Tribune)

That Hon. Alex La Toilette is reeeiv-
ing favor on the part of the farmers in
counties of Oregon outside of the one he
represents in the state senate is quite
apparent. A few days ago the Tribune
oGitor met a farmer from Polk county
in Salem who said: 81 want to call your
attention to a man by the name of Alex
La Folletta, now holding a position as
one of the senators from Marion county
/ am always delighted to hear you speak
of this man, and if the state has any
more like him l would like to see them
in the senate. "
There is much truth in what this far
mer said. The public service needs more
men like him. 1t would be a personal
qualification to many of the senator s
friends to advance him to a still higher
position, but that is impossible at this
time and the Least the people can do
for this worthy representative is to sup
port him in the republican primaries. Be
sides, his rugged honesty and his plod-
ding faithfulness are especially needed
in the difficult position he now seeks
He is relied upon heavily for his loyalty
and Judgment are unexcelled.
if it required vote of the entire pop
uldtiou of the state to nominate Mr.. La
toilette as candidate for state senator
from this county he would be made to
feti that he had the confidence of the
entiEe republican party, for his loyalty
to the people has made him prominent in
ether counties as well as in his home
county. 1t is believed that his faithful.
atss i'll the senate has made him so
soId that nothing short of a load of
dynamite can dislodge him or prevent
