the trees and acting Santa Claus with
humor and wit.
Stripling-Crawford. — Married,
at the residence of Magistrate Thom
ason, on Sunday at 4 p. m., Mr. Geo
Stripling to Miss Mattie Crawford
both of this place. The bride is a
daughter of the late Robert A. Craw¬
ford, an estimable young lady, is well
worthy the share of the prosperity
and happiness of any gentleman. The
groom is a nice, industrious farmer in
the city limits, and will forever chtr
ish and love the fair lady he has won.
They were married on New Year’s
day, which is also the bride’s birth¬
day. We extend our hearty congrat¬
ulations.
The penalties for violations of the
internal revenue laws are entirely
too severe, and the laws for the col¬
lection of the tax on tobacco and
whiskey should be revised and Amer
icanized. But this can be done so
as not to affect the revenue derived
from this tax. Whiskey and tobacco
are cheap enough; what the people
want is the necessities of life cheap¬
ened.
SCIENTIFIC TRUTH.
How to Escape Smallpox With a Pest
House in II road way.
Some time ago an article was pub¬
lished in the Scientific American
which at the time attracted wide at¬
tention. By request of a correspond¬
ent we reproduce the leading paints
therein :
To understand how intimately re¬
lated are the human kidneys to the
physical health, “we propose, meta¬
phorically speaking, to take one from
the human body and place it in the
wash bowl before us, and examine
it.”
You will imagine that we have be¬
fore us a body shaped like a bean,
smooth and glistening, about four
inches in length, two in width, and
one in thickness. It weighs in the
adult about five ounces.
The body of the average size man
contains about ten quarts of blood,
erery drop of which passes through
these filterers or sewers, many times
a day, (as often as through the heart)
making a complete revolution in three
minutes. The kidneys take away
deadly impurities from 65 gallons of
blood each hour, or about 49 barrels
each day, or 9,125 hogsheads a year.
Let us slice this delicate organ
open length wise,* and roughly describe
ks interior.
We find it to be filled with hun¬
dreds of little tubes, short and thread¬
like, starting from the arteries, end¬
ing in a little tuft about midway from
the outside, opening into a sac which
! holds the water to further undergo pur
ification before il I* 88 ' 8 lnto the ure ‘
; ters and out of the body. These lit¬
tle tubes are filters which do their
work automatically, and right here thp
j I disease of the kidney first begins.
From the slightest irregularity in
J our habits, from cold, from high liv¬
ing, from stimulants or a thousand
and one other daily causes, they lose
their force.
What is the result? Congestion
or the stoppage of the currertt of
blood in the small blood vessels sur¬
rounding them, which become block¬
ed, these delicate membranes are ir¬
ritated; inflammation is set up, theft
pus is formed, which collects in the
sac; the tubes are at first partially,
and soon totally unable to do their
work. The sac goes on distending
with this corruption, pressing upon
the blood vessels. All this time, re¬
member, the blood, which is entering
the kidneys to be filtered, is passing
through this terribly disgusting pus,
for it cannot take any other route.
It would be just as reasonable to
expect to escape contagion if a pest
house were set across Broadway and
countless th#usands were compelled
to go through its pestelential doors,
as for one to expect the blood to es¬
cape pollution when constantly run¬
ning through such a diseased kidney.
Now, what is thfc result ? Why,
that the Wood takes up and deposits
this poison as it sweeps along into
every organ, into every inch of mus
cle, tissue, flesh and bone, from your
head to your feet. And whenever,
from hereditary influence or other¬
wise, one part of the body is weake
than another, a countless train of
diseases is established; such as con¬
sumption of the lungs, dikpepsia,
where there is a delicate stomach,
nervousness, insanity, paralysis or
heart disease, in those who have weak
nerves^and bad circulation.
But the medical profession, know
ing that they cannot cure diseases of
the kidneys, treat the manifold syrup
toms caused by this primary or caus
ative disease. As fast as they cure
one symptom, another secondary one
appears, and so they go on* uselessly
treating effects, the cause being un¬
touched.
But you say, “my kidneys are all
right. I have no pain in the back.”
Mistaken man! People die of kid
ner disease, of so bad a chunter.
that the organs are rotten, and ydi
they never there had a pain nor an
ache.

have at our command. Even an att¬

per cent, as shown by after death ex

Warner’s safe cure, as it becomes
year after better known for its won¬
derful cures and its power over the
kidneys, has done and is domg more
to increase the average duration of
life than all the physicians known.
It is a true specihc, mild but certain,
harmlers but energetic and agreeable
to the taste.
Take it when sick, as a cure,
never let a month go by without tak¬
ing a few bdtries as a preventive, that
the kidneys may be kept in proper
order the blood pure, that health and
long life may be your blessing/'

Toledo, O., Jan. 10, 1887.
Messrs F. J. Cheney & Co.—Gen¬
tlemen : I haVe been in the general
practice of medicine for most 40 yrs,
and would say that in all my practice
and experience, have never seen a
preparation that I could prescribe
with as much confidence of success
as I can Hall’s Catarrh Cure, nianu
factured by you. Have piescribed it
a great many times and it* effect is
wonderful, and would say in conclu¬
sion that I have yet to find a case of
Catarrh that it wbuld not ciire,ff they
j WOu ld take it accoiding to directions.
Yours truly,
