All parts and organs of the body are governed by the nervous mortgage lifter,
6ystem, controlled by nerve centers located along the spinal col
umn. This science, or method of treatment bases its claim to
rank as a science of healing upon the fact that there exists a defi
nite and fixed relation and communication between each organ
and central nervous system. Tissue adjustment is to be secured
only through dexterous operations at the hands of the educated
trained and skilful physician, who in his professional ministra
tions employs neither knife nor drugs. A disordered body needs
something done to it, and not something of the nature of poision
ous drugs put into it.
MEDICAL OFFICER DECRIES THE DRUG DELUSION
.Dr, John N. Hurty, M. D., Indiana State Health Commissioner,
is quoted in the Indianapolis Star, "Then, too, all medicines, from
calomel to quinine, from paragoric to senna, and from exydi-
methylquinozine to phenolsulphonephthalien are two-edged
swords. They always and invariably cut both ways! There i
not a single medicine in all the world which does not carry harm
in its molecules!" Again this same doctor, who is a member oi
the "drug school" of practice, and one of the most prominent
health officers of the country, writing on the subject of "Oragin
of Mush Bright's Disease," as printed in the Michigan Trademan
in the form of "A Fable on Health," says, "One time two kidneys
which had been working like dray horses for years, suddenly slow
ed up. Kidney number one said, "I can't absorb these enormous
quantities of salt and saltpeter the blood in loaded with now-a
days, and I notice you, too, are growing weak."
"Yes," said number two, "the man we are working for is a regu
lar glutton on ham and bacon, and since Dr. Wiley forbade borax
as a meat preservative, the salt and saltpeter have been increas
ed, and that's what makes us so tired. Yesterday the saltpetei
was so strong it tore one of my tubules and it bled horribly. The
boss was awfully scared and went to see a doctor. The doctoi
never said a word about letting up on ham with its embalminj
chemicals, but gave a prescription which I heard the old man say
cost thirty-five cents. It was acetat of potash and infusion o.
digitalis, and when it struck me I trembled like a leaf."
"I, too, felt the blow of that infernal stuff when it came along,'
said number one. "I already had a good jag of salt and saltpetei
and was trying my best to pass them on when the acetate anc
digitalis hit me. I grew dizzy, and just let a little light into th(
boss' mind, I sent a pain impulse to the brain." "So did I," saic
number two. "Didn't help much though, because he sent down
a dose of morphine to quiet the pain. When the blood brought
the cussed stuff, I could see the white corpuscles were stagger
inir and were verv weak like. One of them said, "I feel as if I
had been hit with a club. I could not whip a sick typhoid gerrr,
if it were to come along, and if it were a husky one good-by me."
"Good-by for the boss, too," said kidney number one
The two poor, overworked kidneys again conscientiously took
up their functions, but it was no use; they could not catch up
The blood began to kick. "I have carried this load of salt anc
saltpeter around the course three times now, and a new load came
into the stomach about ten minutes ago, and also a lot of catsur
with vinegar and spices. If you don't take this old charge from
me, as is your duty, I can't relieve the stomach." "Let the
stomach go hang," said the kidneys, "If it hasn t sense enough
to throw up the infernal stuff, let it suffer." "What can it do?'
said the blood. "The creosote which got into the ham when it
was smoked has paralyzed the poor thing." So the kidneys said;
"We will just send a joint wire up to headquarters and see if the
old fool boss won't let up a bit with his gormandizing.
So they sent upa wire and threw a fit. The boss, sick as a dog
harl tn o-n tn hpd. and flirain sent for the doctor. "I have an awfu1
Dain in mv kidneys." said the boss. "My kidney pills will cun

News Parisian Papers Print.
To peruse the Taris newspapers la to
discover the most nmazlng statements
about America and Americans ab
surd, ridiculous things that reveal to
the render the unfortunate paucity of
the Parisian's knowledge of the world.
These errors occur In the very best
Journals of Parts and under editors
wno stand high in the newspaper
world and should know better.
Here are a few examples culled from
the leading papers of Paris of the sort
of statements couimouly passed out to
the Innocent French reader:
Au article discussing the fuel used
In different countries Includes this
statement: "In America the houses are
heated by natural gns which cornea
from the Rocky mountains In tubes or
pipes and enters the houses all over
the country. No other fuel Is now In
use lu America."
Another enlightening article relates
that "all the country west of Chicago
Is a desert to the California, but It has
heen marked off with multitudinous
ditches, which are kept tilled with wa
ter from the great Mississippi river,
and thus the land is made fertile and
crops may be grown."
This about American Indians is
amusing: "The American Indians are
no longer a menace to civilization
fhey now live quietly on the outskirts
of nil American cities In quarters Pro
vided for them and called 'Indian res
ervations.' 'fhey may be seen at any
time wandering the streets In their
blankets and fenthers, but they are
now quite Bubdued the white people
no longer fear them."
Here Is, indeed, a piece of news:
"Canada Is a great country and Is
proud of having been the birthplace of
the greatest American patriot, George
Washington.."
A long article on the Mormon faith
says: "1 he Mormons nre a strange re-
lglons sect founded by the Rev. Ar
thur Smith about thirty years ago.
Mr. Smith was a contemporary of Mrs.
Mary Eddy, the Christian Science
founder. But the two could not agree
In their fnlths. and Mr. Smith went
west in a caravan with thousands of
followers, many of whom were killed
by the India us lu crossing the deserts
of America. Mormons have many
wives, like the followers of islam, and
I hoy are to be found tn all American
cities with their large families."
The 1'arlslan Is enlightened as to tlx
course of most of our fortunes in this
wise: "The reason why bo many of the
meat American fortunes are made In
pork packing Is because the staple of
liet lu America is pigs. Everybody
eats pig three tiiues a day, Just as the
Englishman vats roast beef three times
I day. The demand for this article of

An Incident That Aroused Varied Emo
tions All Around.
In his "Reminiscences" General Basil
W. Duke of the Confederate army tells
of au Incident he witnessed Just after
the eloseof the war:
"One morning about 0 o'clock 1 was
sitting on the platform of a station
waiting for uiy train when my atten
tion was attracted to a squad of Fed
eral soldiers who hud evidently been
on guard during the night, but were
now getting their breakfast. They
were well supplied with rations and
seemed in high spirits.
"Just then 1 caught sight of a lank,
hungry looking fellow who was unmis
takably an ex-Confederate. He wore
a ragged, faded gray jacket, with the
buttons cut off, a pair of most dilap
idated blue trousers aud an old canvas
haversack, as empty as extra-sidereal
space, hung nrouud his neck. If be
had eaten a square meal within six
months appearances were deceitful.
