VICTIMS OF GOITER.
111. IlUeiMe Is Brought on by Drinking
, Know Water.
Tile valley of the Rhone han been
quite noted for its goiter victims, al
though I am happy to say that through
the increased watchfulness of the au
thorities there now is an abatement of
the disease. Many different causes am
assigned to the terrible affliction —this
enlargement of the glands of the throat,
goiter, or “big neck,” as it is some
times called—wind even the best inform
ed are far from being unanimous as to
its origin or prevention. The peasants
themselves say it is brought on by the
habitual use of snow and glacial water.
The water is so cold it acts as a counter
irritant, and so inflames the throat, but
this explanation hardly bolds, as the
inhabitants of the upper regions are not
so often afflicted ns are the people in tbo
lower valleys. The use of chemically
impure water, especially hard water, is
given as a cause.
The experiment has been made where
the water of certain wells was used to
the exclusion of all other water. With
in a short time goiter symptoms began
to manifest themselves where none
had been before. Sometimes this dis
ease is epidemic. An instance was
noted where iu a garrison one out of ev
ery'2o men became afflicted. Infants
are seldom born with goiter, but after
it once takes hold the progress of the
disease is very rapid. I believe that it
is rarely fatal, but because of this en
largement of the glands and the conse
quent disfigurement of the throat it is
most repulsive, and yet the natives are
so accustomed to seeing it that they do
not seem to care. It probably is simply
a source of discomfort rather than mor
tification. In fact, in some portions of
France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter
is a thing to be prized and to bo exhib
ited, for its possession exempts a man
from military service. Young men have
been known to resort to certain wells
supposed to convey this poison to the
blood that they might evade conscrip
tion. When Savoy was annexed to
Franco, vigorous measures were adopt
ed to stamp out if possible this hateful
disease. There was a heavy penalty for
drinking the water of forbidden wells,
and then the little children were treat
ed in the hope of curing them. Lozen
ges of iodine were and
out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured,
and more would have been helped had
not the parents ignorantly opposed the
giving of the remedies. The villages al
so were cleaned and sanitary measures
insisted upon. For, aside from all other
causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may
be transmitted or bo sporadic. Like
diphtheria, it is a filth disease, and of
ten has its origin in the negligent hab
its of the villagers. These peasants re
fuse to live elsewhere than in the old
“dorter” (villages), each morning going
far away to the fields, but returning at
night to their overcrowded homes,
where men, women and children, cows,
goats and donkeys dwell together fra-4
ternally. —Chicago Inter Ocean.
SHOWED HIS BAGCAGE.
There Wasn’t Much of It, but It Satisfied
the Clerk.
It is not always necessary to travel
with three or four Saratogas, a dress
suit case, a bundle of rugs and a bird
cage in order to obtain good accommo
dations at hotels.
Occasionally there does exist through- ■
out this hospitable land a hotel which
does not require a certificate as to a per
son’s ancestry, status in life, past his
tory and future movements before its
clerk permits one the privilege of a
room. At least this is the firm belief
advanced by a young Chicago couple
just back from their wedding trip.
Down east one day the train wended its
way through the woods and heights of
the Adirondacks and miles away from
civilization halted at a lone platform
bordered by a piny wildness too allur
ing to be slighted by westerners fresh
from prairie lands.
“Train stops 1 hour and 15 minutes, ”
aunounced the young husband who had
made a dash for the conductor. Out on
the platform and up the charming road
wandered these two, and time flew.
However, they kept an eye on their
watches and reached the platform with
ten minutes to spare.
But the train was gone.
A lone man perched at the end of the
platform ' explained in a bored way in
the face of their indignation that it was
15 minutes and not 1 hour and 15 min
utes that the train stopped.
“When is the next train?” the trav
elers begged.
“There isn't any, ” sweetly said the
native.
“Where is a hotel?” they shouted.
"Up the road the other way,’’the
sphinx said in a tired way and turned
to watch the antics of a grasshopper.
Up the road the other way they went
and discovered in the wilderness a ho
tel with a haughty clerk, electric lights
and all modern improvements.
“Any baggage?” inquired the man at
the desk as the young man registered.
The travelers gasped in consternation
as they stared wildly at each other with
the sudden shook of realizing that trous
seau, traveling bags and umbrellas were
speeding miles away from them.
“Oh, yes!” gulped the young husband
Sirily. “Baggage —of course.” He
plunged into one pocket, drew out a
small comb, his wife’s powder box and
its accompanying square of chamois,
which he gravely laid before the clerk.
That gentleman never moved an eye
lash.
“Frontl” he called. “No. 227!”
The heroine of this story still claims
Iho imperturbable clerk was a mind
reader, but her husband says it was all
due to her helpless, appealing air and
the streak of cinders on her nose.—Chi

SIOO Reward, SIOO-
The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dread
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving.the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Bend for list of testimonials.
