News from Rev. B. H. Waugh. pastor
of the First Baptist church and the
Charlotte Street Baptist church OF
Yorkville, is that he Is getting along
nicely. Rev. Mr.. Waugh went to the
Baptist hospital in Columbia last
Friday for the purpose Of having his
tonsils removed. He had been in a
bad way physically for quite awhile,
and has been attributing his trouble
to diseased tonsils. But the trouble
was not with the tonsils in the opinion
OF the examining physicians. The
physicians agreed that Mr.. Waugh was
being poisoned by discharges Of pus,
but in their opinion the pus was COM
ing from abscessing teeth, and instead
of cutting out the tonsils they remov-
ed the teeth. This, by the way. Is be-
coming very general practice now
adays. Many bodily ills, the original
nature of which were formerly a mys-
terry, are now being attributed to pus
poisoning. These ills include rheuma-
lism, neuritis, headaches, persistent
temperature and other symptoms. The
Lh, sicians have absolutely no doubt
Cf tle Gact that pus is playing In most
,,ases; but often it is more or less
di.iicult to locate the origin OF the
troubles More frequently than other
wise the teeth are to blame. 1t has
been established that at the root Of q
tooth there may be blind" abscess,
or pus pocket, which without giving
any local trouble. might poison the
whole body. The only way to stop the
flow of poison Is to remove the source
OF it. During the past few years
scores Of comparatively young and
middle aged folks throughout this To-
al:tv Rave been having their teeth
