NAMES OF DISEASES.
By Knowing the Right Ones, Trouble
Is Sometimes Averted.
< Mu* of I lie first essent i;i Is to I ho
study of any science is a definite
nomenclature—the fixing of one
name to one thing—for without
that then* can he no common
ground for discussion, and th<*
words of a writer may convey a
wrong impression and give rise to
erroneous ideas, t he opposite, per
haps, of wlmt was intended.
I nforfunately, says lourns
< "ompunion. definiteness in names
is conspicuously larking in mod ion I
science, ami not only in tin* popu
1 ar names ol' diseases, init even in
tin* terms employed b\ physicians
1 hemsel ves. The confusion of
speerh is part icu la rly tin fort unat e
in medicine, for it may la* tin* oe
casion of very sei-ious errors. For
example, a mother hears that a
neighbor’s child lias membranous
sore throat. That seems a sim
ple little tliii:^. and she takes no
care to keep her own child away
from the neighbor’s house. The
neighbors themselves are not
alarmed, but even let the lit tie vis
it or into t In* sick room. If t lie doe
tor had not employed a euphe
mism, but had called the "mem
branous sore throat” diphtheria,
everyone would have known the
gravity of the case and other chil
dren would not have been need
lessly exposed.
.Much misunderstanding results
from the loose use of the word
“typhoid.” It really means “re
sembling typhus,” and so the term
was attached to a fever some of
the symptoms of which resemble
those of typhus fever. Hut it is
applied also in the form of an ad
ject ive to other mud it inns and dis
eases. Thus, the "typhoid state”
is a condition of extreme weak
ness. with temporary mental
clouding, such as one sees in tin
third or fourth week of a severe
rvphoid fevet*. In the same way
f flOfterm typhoid pneumonia js
sometimes used to designate a
pneumonia in which the patient is
overcome by the poison of the dis
ease and has fallen into the “ty
phoid state,” but it does not imply
a mixture of typhoid fever and
pneumonia, as is popularly be
lieved.
Inltammation of tin* Iuncs and
lull}; fever are popular expres
sions meaninj; pneumonia, but the
term pneumonia itself is applied
to several entirely distinct dis
eases of the lunjps.
Scarlatina is another name for
scarlet fever, and it does not si};
liify a mild form of the disease. !
Varioloid also is real smallpox,
only in mild form, and a varioloid
patient may <;ive smallpox in a
most virulent form to an unpro
tected person.
All this *;oes to show that dis
eases, like other things, should be
called by their ri<;ht mimes.
Senatorial Readers.
Senator Hoar is tin* only mem
ber of either braneli of congress
who draws on the congressional
library extensively for the Greek
and Latin poets. He still delves in
the riches of the "Iliad” and the
"Odyssey" and enjoys reading
anew the vivid adventures which
Virgil so ably told. The .Massa
chusetts senator is an eager read
er of many other books in the big
library, but since Representative
Elliot t, of Soul h < 'arolina. ret ired
from public life he is about t he
only reader of books in foreign
languages save Senator Elkins, of
West Virginia, who occasionally
sends for a volume in Spanish.

MOUNTAIN OF SALT.
At Cardona, Spain—Slowly Being Dis
integrated by Tiny Streams.
The mountiiin possesses one
formidable foe. who slowly, but re
lentlessly. gnaws it from the in
side, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. Seal tered about in I he moun
tain are tiny openings—“monkey
holes,'’ they are locally styled—
and from out of each of these
comes a rivulet, so tiny that it
seems powerless to do harm. But
little by little 1 hese subterranean
springs drill their way through
the entire thickness of the moun
tain. digging out long tunnels,
into which the visitor may enter
if he be so inclined. The guide ac
companying him Avill begin by
warning him that it is prudent for
him to make his will ere doing so,
since, owing to the work of l he de
structive st reams, coni hunt 1 salt
slides occur in tlie narrow chan
nels. < treat blocks of salt are li
able at any time to crush down
upon (he explorer, crushing him
like a fly—the sound of one’s
voice, the weight of one’s body oil
the soil being sullicient to detach
them from the roof. Let the vis
itor, however, proceed a few steps
further; from the ceiling depend
stalactites of salt of immaculate
whiteness, to all appearances
chandeliers; the streamlet seems
to How along a crystal bed, and t he
drop of water hanging from the
sharp point of each stalactite scin
tillates like a diamond by candle
light. Suddenly the guide pulls
you back, callingyour at tent ion to
a feeble sound akin to that emit
ted by a squeezed sponge; it is
hardly perceptible to the ear, and
yet it sounds a warning of an im
minent salt slide, and it becomes
imperative to retrace one’s steps
without having been able to pene
l ra f e further into t lie fa iry like in
terior of the mountain.
The mountain of t’ardona being
private property, t hree or four gor
geously uniformed keepers are in
trusted with the duty of seeing
that the inhabitants of the sur
rounding country do not come and
help themselves to salt; it is. how
ever. an easy mat ter to take away
a crystalline fragment by way of a
memento. So limpid is the sub
stance that spectacle glasses can
be made out of the more transpar
ent pieces. Tin* men employed at
the salt works turn out crosses,
rosaries, goblets and bottles,
which they sell to tourists for a
few pesetas.
FLOCK OF GROSBEAKS.
Pay a Visit to Portland, Ore., Dar
ing Hard Winters.
A flock of ovening grosbeaks
usually visit this city during the
winter, says the Portland Ore
gonian. They have been flitting
about and feeding on the seeds of
the locust trees, the pods of which
still cling to the branches, and
pecking at the stems from which
the seeds of the maples have fall
en, evidently finding something
eatable there. These birds did not
visit the city last winter, it was
supposed on account of Jlie season
not being severe in t lie mountains
and forests, where they have their
haunts. There are several species
of grosbeaks scattered over Xorth
America, from the far north away
down into Mexico. They derive
the name from the large stout bill
which is characteristic of the
whole family. The evening gros
beak is the only species seen here.
Flocks of them are often seen in
the pine woods on the Cascades
and Pine mountains as late as
May, being on their way from the
south to their summer haunts in
the far countries of the north.
They are seen at different times
in Wisconsin and as far east as
the New England states. Hut
1 hey are supposed to visit tiiis city
when the snow gets unusually
deep in the mountains, but their
movements appear to Ik* capri
cious. The blue, pine, and rose
breasted species of the grosbeak
are of more showy plumage than
the evening grosbeak, w hich is of
modest colors, but still is a beau
tiful bird.
TWO KINDS OF LAW.
One for l.n iv- Al>Id Inu Citizens nn«l
the Other GcneroUK-Spiritetl
Nciglibors,
Georgia has a law intended to induce stock
owners to keep their animals in tacit own
fields, say-the Atlanta ( onstitution. \\ hen
a farmer finds Ins neighbor’s cattle in his
corn, instead of sending them to the pound
or shooting them, he puts them in his own
corral, and when the owner comes for them,
charges him .>0 cents a head to pay for the
trespass.
it happened that when the law was under
discussion two neighbors were very violent, j
the one in favor of it, the other against it.
After the law had been passed the cattle of :
the man who had opposed it got into the oth
er man’s field and were captured. Their
owner went lor them.
“As I am a law abiding citizen,” said the
other fanner, “and as t acre are 14 cattle, it
will cost you seven dollars.”
The man w ho-e cattle had been impounded
was indignant, but he paid the bill. A little
later he captured hi- neighbor's cattle in
his field. \\ allet in pocket, the owner of the
cows rode over to get them.
"W ell, ’ he demanded, "how much do 1
owe you?"
“Not a cent.’ replied the other. "1 may
not be a law-abiding citizen, hut I’m a neigh
bor."
A Dcnlist'a Advice.
Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 25th.—Mr. Harry T..
Lewis, Dentist. (>07 Snmit street, this city,
says; "I certainly advise anyone no matter
how severe they may have Kidney Trouble
to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
“1 was troubled with Kidney Disease for
several years and Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured [
me. 1 had used many so-called remedies ,
without any benefit. Four months ago, 1
was flat on my back with tiii- painful trou
ble and must say that 1 almost gave up hopes j
of ever getting any better. Tnrough a
friend’s advice 1 purchased six boxes of
Dodd'a Kidney Pills.
"At first 1 could see but little benefit,but
after t wo week-, I could see an improvement.
1 had been getting up several times at night
and pains in my back were very severe. ;
When I had taken six boxes 1 felt better
than I had for years. The pain had all
tone and 1 didn’t have to get up during tiie :
light at all. 1 continued the treatment
antil 1 had used several more boxes, and
now I am glad to say that 1 am completely
cured.”

When we introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did we dream
it would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Agr. Editors wrote about it, Agr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Agr. In
stitute Orators talked about it, while id
tiie farm house by the quiet fireside, in the
corner grocery, in the village post-office, at
the creamery, at the depot, in. fact wher
ever farmers gathered. Saber's Billion Dol
lar (truss, that wonderful grass, good foi
5 to 14 tons per acre, and lots of pasture
besides, is always a theme worthy of the
farmer's voice.

crops tins season and have lots of pasture

LASTING RELIEF
J. \V. Walls, Super
intendent of Streets of
Lebanon, Kv., says:
■-- any nignuy rest
was broken, owing to irregular action
of the kidneys. 1 was suffering intense
ly from severe pains in the small of my !
back and through the kidneys aiul an- 1
noyed by painful passages of abnormal j
secretions. No amount of doctoring
relieved this condition. I began taking :
Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 experienced
quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kid
ney Pills will prove a blessing to all
3ufiere«rs from kidney disorders who
will give them a "air trial.”

MEDICAL EXAMINER
0£ the United States Treasury Recommends
Pe»ru*na.
Other Prominent Physicians Use
and Endorse Pe-ru*na.
DR. LLEWELLYN Jordan, Medical
Examiner of the If. S. Treasury ;
Department, graduate of Columbia Col
lege, and who served three years at West
Point,has the following tosay of Peruna:
“Allow me to express my grati
tude to you for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth a vast change and I now
consider myself a well man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf
ferers, Peruna will cure you. ”
A constantly increasing’ number of
physicians prescribe l’eruna in their!
practice. It has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have 1
overcome their prejudice against so
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
l'eruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, i> the cause of one
half the disease which afflicts mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict
one-half of the people of United States.
I Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Wash
, ington, I). C., writes:
* “Through my own experience
, as well ns that of ninny of my
* friends and acquaintances who
* have been cured or relieved of ca
. tarrh hv the use of Hartman's
* Peruna, i can confidently recom
* mend it to those suffering from such
« disorders, andhave no hesitation in
t prescribing it to my patients.”—
* Robert R. Roberts.
Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T.,
writes:
” Peruna is the best medicine I know i
of for coughs and to strengthen a weak ■
stomach and to give appetite. Resides
prescribing it for catarrh. I have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had a patient but said it helped :
him. It is an excellent medicine and it :
fits so many eases. •
“I have a large practice, and have a t
chance to prescribeyour Peruna. I hope
you may live long to dogoodto tlie sick :
and the suffering.”
Dr. M. C. Gee, writes from 515 Jones
