THE ASTORtAX PUBLISHING CO.
OSTEOPATHT VS. LOREXZ.
Aceoidlne to F. J. Barr. D. O., In
the Sal-Jin Statesman, the much-vaunt'
ed achievements of Ir. Lorenx, of
bloodless suraery renown, may lose
some of tlulr "hlne when compared
with the results produced by the more
humble and less heralded school of os
teopathy. According to the article in
question the same cures are effected,
requiring no longer time, and without
retorting to the "heroic" method which
requires the patient to be placed under
a profound anaesthetic, and the appli
cation of extreme physical force which,
while it does not cause the blood to
flow on the surface, nevertheless must
rupture and tear the muscles, liga
ments, nerves and Wood vessels, and
cause inward hemorrhages which must
be taken up by the circulation.
- The method of the osteopathist in re
ducing a congenital dislocation of the
hip is simply this: By manipulation the
various muscles and ligaments are re
laxed, stretched, developed and made
healthy, as are the nerves and blood
vessels, producing a proper circulation
and vitality. When all is ready, with
out the tearing and bruising of the
parts, and without the use of anaes
thetics, the bone is placed in its prop
er position and is held there, not by a
plaster cast which must be worn six
months, but by the muscles and liga
ments themselves, which have been ren
dered healthy and useful.
rr. Biirr states that hundreds of
cures have been made by this method
ly the founder of osteopathy, Dr
Still, and by his pupils, and thinks
they should have jlue credit. Possibly
If Dr. Still had come from across the
water and had received a fee of 130,000
for healing a rich mans child he would
be as renowned as Dr. Lorenx. The
f.tct that the latter only claims suc
cess in 60 per cent f his cases would
seem to Imply the possibility of im
provement on his methods.
IN NEED OF LEGISLATION.
It Is said on high authority that nev
er before were there so many Ameri
can ships unemployed as now, says the
New Tork Commercial. The subsidized
ships of foreign nations accept cargoes
at such low rates that, were these
American vessels to meet these freights
their voyages would all be made at a
large loss. It Is practically impossible
Just now for most American ships to
ret foreign cargoes at anything ap
proaching living rates.
For some years past the grain trade
from the Pacific ports to Europe has
been the principal one of the very few
still left in which our "American ships
could engage profitably. But now sub
sidised foreign craft chiefly the ships
of France are fast driving American
ships out of that trade. Nine Ameri
can ships and barks are now lying un-
chartersd at San Francisco alone, and
three or four more are Idle at other

Pacific coast pom. This inability to
compete w ith French craft In the grain
trade has had the Inevitable effect "of
driving American vessels Into other
trades, and these in turn have become
over-crowded; so that the rates of
freights are now so low in moat In-
stance that the returns would not
briii in to theAmerlcan owner enough
money to pay the Cost of operating
their ships.
AXTt-TREATERS ARK RIGHT.
The formation of an anti-treat so
ciety atChlnook Is severely ridiculed by
certain votaries of the free and easy
ktr, whose thirst and habits require
the social glass, but It is a step to
wauls compliance with the dictates of
sot-er Juigment on the part of Its mem-
Iki. Granted, that all men have a
ripht to drink as long, as deeply, and
as often as they wish, wherever they
choose and with whom they please, ac
cording to the statutes and according
to custom, it cannot be denied that
there is yet something to be desired
in present day methods" of tippling.
No nun knows better than the mixolo
gist that the treat habit Is the money
producer iu the business, and that it Is
responsible for niost of the drunk and
unpaid grocery bills. The members of
the club are to be commended In their
resolution to confine themselves to the
satisfaction of their own Individual
thirst without influencing others and
without regard to the needs of the bar

Man' Exiwrlcnce,
Jt Is i strange thing how people will
put away an opportunity until too late;
It Is only little things that go la make
up our every day existence; the trouble
la we don't pay sufficient attention to
them. Uackach I a little thing some,
time It comes after a hard day's work
or a slight cold, it will poas oft you
say; It I only the result of overtaxing
my back; It Isn't the fault of your back
but your kidneys. The exertion or
straining has Interfered with their del
icate inechanMam. You call It back
ache, but U really Is kidneyaehe. If
the kidneys are not relieved chronic dl
order set In and that Is where the
"little thlni" ihould not be passed over.
An Astoria man has learned to appre
ciate what delay means.
W. R. Mcintosh whose place of resi
dence Is at SM Harrison avenue, says;
"For years I suffered very much from
lameness and soreness across the small
of my back, To turn In bod gave me
painful twinges and when I was not
working but simply standing around
there wna a constant aching over my
hips. The kidney secretions gave me
no end of trouWe, I often thought I,
had gravel, so painful were the secre
tions In passing. I read about Dunn's
Kidney Pills and not a box at Charles
ltogers drug store on Commercial St,
On taking them I soon noticed an Im
provement In my condition and the
psln across my hack was soon wonder
fully relieved Though 1 did not take
Doan's kidney pills as regularly s I
should have done .they did me a great
deal of good."
