THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1898-12 PAGES. 11 Phe Human Ostrich. “TELL ME WHAT YOUEAT | AND TLL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE.” The human ostrich. You've seen him probably, in the booth at the fair | or circus or on the platform of the dime museum. He has toughened hi to the consistency of leather, and Iunches on broken bot- tles, tacks or ten-penny nails with yunity. He doesn’t liv long, of course, for he sacrifices life to y livelihood. You would be amazed, perhaps, to be told that you were something like is ach seeming i the human ostrich, in the character of your diet, and the risk of life in- volved. It is not necessary that you eat glass and nails in order to resemble this monstrosity. The man who plays the part of the human ostrich | is an example of depraved appetite | in its most extreme and exaggerated | form. The depraved appetite of the | ave: lidate for dyspepsia does | not her than hot bread and} biscuit, astries, highly seasoned | | excessively greasy foods. | g, haste | a far ricl dishes a: Add to this improper cooki in and lack of proper rest after a meal, and you have a condi- tion very likely to result in disease | and suffering. Let it be remembered that the sole object of food is nutrition; nutrition not for the body as a whole only, but nutrition for the varying needs of the separate parts of the body: for the | muscles, tt s, the brain, the|} blood. tomach is in a state of , activity, Nature, by her remarkable processes, takes the food you supply, and distributes its starches and sugars, its salts and} phosphates according to the needs of the separate organs of the boc When the stomach is not in a state | Nature does her | nus dependent or-| of healthy activity best, but the var gans of the body are put on short rations. There is not nourishment ! enough to supply them properly. WHAT HAPP S THE! A weakened stomach. A stomach | incapable of performing its functions | fully. The liver and blood-making | glands work imperfectly. The nat- ural result is that the food is imper- | fectly digested and only partly as-| similated and the channels of life are } choked and stopped by waste andj} putrescent matter. Some people |} know where the trouble is. They | locate it in the stomach, because they | have pain there after eating, an ir-|! regular craving for food, or an appe- tite that eating not satisfy. There is heaviness after a meal, a feeling of undue fullness. It is hard to breathe, there is such a stuffy feel- ing about the chest. There may be palpitation or irregular action of the heart and the sufferer imagines he has heart disease. Perhaps the stom- ach sours, and there are bitter ris- ings, and belchings. ese symp- toms mark various forms and stages of “weak stomach.” They will not all be present in every case or in the earlier stages of the disease. Any one of these symptoms locates the | trouble in the stomach and the diges- tive and nutritive functions, which are disturbed. Quite often there is no apparent does connection between the stomach and the symptoms of the disease. The victim thinks it “liver trouble,” heart failure or lung disease. There is a dull pain, perhaps in the back or the side. The spine aches, sometimes n spots” and sometimes through its whole length. There may be a sharp stitch or pain occasionally. | and nutrit jant Pellets.’ been able to properly feed the organs dependent upon it. They are starv- ing, they are weak, and they show their weakness in the aches and pains that afflict the various parts of the body. What will set the stomach right? There is one remedy practi- infallible in its results, and that one remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures because it is made to cure just the conditions of the stomach which give rise to disease. A COMMON SENSE VIEW. If so many diseases begin in the stomach and nutritive system, why should not some one remedy be com- pounded, which by healing the stom- ach would necessarily cure the dis- eases of the organs dependent on it? This was the great question which Dr. R. V. Pierce set himself to an- swer. Then followed a period of profound study of the value of altera- tive and tonic medicines. The result was Dr. Pierce’s Goiden Medical Discovery, a medicine for the stomach and the whole digestive system. The soundness of Dr. Pierce’s original theory, that which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach, has been proved in thous- ands of where one or several of the chief organs of the body were involved in wasting diseases, and an diseases | entire cure has been wrought by the use of the Golden Medical Dis- covery.” lty way of proof take the case of Rev. C. L. Mundell, of Pinegrove, Gallia Co., Ohio. He writes: “I sui- fered from a dreadful feeling and weakness, and in 1893 I lost my health altogether. I went to one of the best doctors in the state and he said I had heart, stomach, liver and Kidney trouble. His treatment did me no good. I tried different kinds of patent medicines, but got worse all the time; was so weak that I could not walk any distance. If I walked up hill or a little fast it seemed as though my heart would jump out. [ had almost given up all hope, and my money was all gone. Was arcely able to make a living. Final- ly I saw an advertisement in one oi the country papers that for twenty- one one-cent stamps Dr. Pierce would send one of his ‘Common Sense Medical Advisers.” So I sent and got one and began to read con- cerning diseases like my own. After consulting the doctor himself, I pur- chased at my nearest drug store a bottie of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Meslical Discovery and a bottle of his ‘Pleas- This was in 1897 and now I am happy to say that I am in the enjoyment of good health, which I attribute to Dr. R. V. Pierce. I am so glad of my health that I can- not say too much. I first return my sincere thanks to Almighty God and then to Doctor Pierce.” The above is only a specimen case taken at random from thous: se WHY IT IS So. In view of the foregoing fac easy to explain why the “Golden Medical Discovery” is the best blood- purifying medicine. The stomach supplies the blood. Draw pure water into a foul cup and if you drink it you drink foul water. No matter how pure the food, if the stomach is foul you will have foul blood. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cicanses the blood by cleaning the stomach, invigorating the liver and setting the blood-making glands at work. Weak lungs are cured on the same principle. Weak lungs are insepar- able from a weak stomach. A wea‘ stomach does not always mean weak lungs, but weak lungs always mean =xercise makes the limbs tremble and the heart beat violently. Perhaps to some of these symptoms there is added an obstinate, stubborn cough. WHAT IS THE MATTER NOW? It is another case of weak stomach. But, that is not where the pain is. Very likely not. But that is where the trouble is. The stomach has not a weak stomach. The weak stom ach means lack of sufficient nutri tion, or the incapacity of the stomack to digest the food and distribute the tuitriment to repair the waste and loss of the body. The whole medical profession recognizes this fact. Their great prescription for weak lungs and consumption is a iattening food, condensed and assitnitable— which takes the form of cod liver oil, either in all its original nastiness, or with its offensiveness mo lifed in some emulsive preparation. The theory is sound enough. What the body necds is nourishment. If ycu could nour- isl the body up to the point of ag- gression against disease it would pro- tect itself. Somehow cod liver oii and its preparations never seem to get as far as the weak lungs. They fail because it is the stomach that needs healing. Let the tungs alone. Jf you can cure the stomach invigor- ate the liver and set the blood-mak- ing glands to :nanu‘acturing, and start the current of rich, red blood throughout the system, Nature will take care that it does its work of building up the body. That is the basis of Dr. ree’s cure for weak lungs, the condition which by neglect or bad treatment becomes consump- tion. ’ HOW IT WORKS. Hiow does the treatment work in practice? Mr. Noel W. Orvin, of Langley, Aiken Co., S. C., finds that it worked first rate in his case. He says: “T was taken sick in July last year, and was not able to do any kind of work until November. I had been coughing up small hard lumps for about a year before I was taken down. I then called on a doctor, who attended me for two months, and said that one-half of my left lung was gone, and advised me to leave my home (Charleston, S. C.) and go to the country, but did not say what sort of disease I had. I thought it was consumption, and wrote to you for advice; I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery, which has done me more good than all the other medicines I have ever taken.” The doctor didn’t say what was the matter. But Mr. Orvin “thought it was consumption.” No wonder he thought so, when the doctor told him one-half of one lung was gone. But it does not matter what the disease is called, the fact remains that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured thousands of such cases— cases where there were night sweats, hacking cough, emaciation, hectic flush, labored -breathing and great weakness. Call the disease what you please, “Golden Medical Discovery” cures ninety-eight out of every hun- dred such cases. These statements have a twofold claim on your atten- ion if yéu are a sufferer from weak stomach, weak lungs, stubborn ling- ering cough, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, or any of these kindred forms of disease which, when neglected or improperly treated, lead to con- sumption. WILL NOT INEBRIATE. There is one important feature about “Golden Medical Discovery” which cannot be too strongly empha- sized. It contains no alcohol, or whisky, no opium or “narcotics, neither sugar nor syrup, whieh so often disagree with the weak dyspep- tic stomach. Without any of these things it preserves its medicinal qualities perfectly and in any climate. It does nat create a craving for in- jurious stimulants or narcotics. DON’T BE DECEIVED, li you are convinced that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is what you need, do not allow any designing dealer to palm off a sub- stitute on you under the specious plea that it is “just as good.” If he has no respect for your judgment show him that you have. Any dealer can obtain this great standard remedy for you if you insist upon it. It affords him a fair profit. It is his business to supply what you ask for, and not to urge some substitute on you for the sake of making a larger profit. Your health is of vastly more consequence than his profit. Let any substituting dealer understand that. ‘There are people everywhere who are in ill health. Medicine has not helped them. They are out of heart and discouraged. Dr. Pierce invites such to write to him, freely and fully. After careful consideration of the se a reply is quickly made contain- ing such instructions and fatherly ad- vice as will prove of the greatest benefit. There is no charge for this consultation by letter.

COAL IN NEW MEXICO, The Last Fiscal Year Showed an In- creased Production of 125,000 Tons. The annual report of John W. Fleming, United States mine inspector for the terri- tory of New Mexico, which was submitted today to the Secretary of the Interior, gives the result of his inspection of the coal mines in that territory during the past year. He gives the details of the condition of the mines visited by him. The output of coal from the territory comes practically from four counties. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, there were reported twenty mines in operation, four less than during the previous year. The production for the fiscal year 1897 and 1598 was 858,583 tons, an increase of production of 125,044 tons. During the fiscal year there were reported to the mine inspector seven fatal accidents, the causes of which were as follows: By falls of rock, 3; falls of coal, 2; runaway cars, 1; firing blast, 1. 4 ——_—__++______ Movements of Warships.

After reviewing the treeps and making a speech to the assembled. crowd, praising the officers in charge, the Secretary proceeded to General Breckinridge’s headquarters. While luncheon was being prepared the Secretary summoned all the colonels and brigadier generals and several other army officers. ‘ The officers came together, expesting no more than a perfunctory talk about division and army matters, but the discussion took a radical turn at the outset. Maj. Gen. Sanger found fault with the surgeon gener- al's and quartermaster’s departments for not honoring requisitions. Colonel Leonard of the 12th New York condemned the di- vision hospitai system without reserve. Then General Wiley spoke out frankly. He mentioned the shortcomings of the med- ical department and told of Surgeon Gen- eral Sternberg’s failure to supply arti that were urgently needed. The suri general, who was present, protested, but General Wiley named specific cases in which he could not get what he wanted. General Wiley then attacked the heads of the quartermaster’s and hospital depart- ments at Chickamauga as being utterly in- capable. Secretary Addresses the Officers. Secretary Algor said to the officers when assembied: “I have summoned you before me in order to find out your views regard- ing the division hospital. While we lest many men at Chickamauga and other camps from death, we may consider that the Santiago campaign, which kept those men here, a blessing from God. Had it not been for this battle and campaiga we might have had today in Cuba hundreds of thousands of men dying of disease «nd plague. As it is we have suffered, but not to the extent of the possibilities. “The army was expected to move quickly into the fight, and the law, which gave to the President the power to make surgeons, hospital stewards and nurses, has not give: him the power to fill their places when tak- en away and placed somewhere else. It was intended that every surgeon, every hos- pital steward and every nurse should go along with his command. “When the army came to a standstill in camp it became apparent that a general or division hospital was necessary in order that the sick men might be given the very best of care. How it has succeeded it is for you to say, and I have asked that you meet me here and express your views on this subject.” Division Commander Crittetses. The first to offer a response was Brig. Gen. Sanger, commander of the division, who said he believed in the division hos- pital, but he also thought there ought to be some surgeons left with the regiments, or special men should be employed for the hospital. He said there wege not enough medical assistants left in «he regiments and the men ieft in charge.were not suffi- ciently well posted to know-what was need- ed. He thought the great tpouble lay with the surgeon general's and quartermaster’s departments in not honoring, requisitions. Col. Leonard of the 12th New York was opposed to division hospitals, declaring that it stripped the regiments of {heir necessary medical attendants and cagried the sick men away from their friends, Wiley Talks Frankly ‘ofi Mismanage- ment. Gen. Wiley said that’the taking away of | the litter bearers, nursgs ,hpSpital stewards and surgeons so depleted, the regiments that it was actually cruelty to:the men to make them work eight days, #4 thPY dtd at Chick amauga. Gen. Wiley. sAid there were ud stretchers on which to. carty men ff, the field after they had fallen, from the heat, and they had to be pigked up by thelr limp forms and carried away. , There were no nurses or litter bearers, and when men fell in the ranks they were forced to lie in-the hot sun for hours with no medical atteraiance. He ‘said ‘heehad made requisitions for stretchers, but they were not forthcoming. He wanted boilers to boil the water the men drank, but was told by the quartermaster that Uncle Sam had no boilers. Some one is responsible for all this. Surgeon General Sternberg attempted to convine Gen. Wiley that all the requisi- tions that came to his office were honored, but the general would not have it and named telegram after telegram asking for supplies which were not furnished. Attacked Chickamauga Officers, Gen. Wiley attacked Quartermaster Lee of the 3d Corps, at Chickamauga, saying he was whclly Incapable. Speaking of Dr. Huidekoper, the medical director at Chick- amauga, he said: “That man, sir, is a vet- erinary surgeon, and I doubt if he could doctor anything above a horse. He had no military training whatever. When he was asked for a disinfectant for the sinks he said disinfectants were not needed.” Col. Leonard said Dr. Huidekoper was thoroughly ineapable of such work as had been intrusted to him. Several officers pro- tested that the doctor was a graduate of one or more medical colleges. Surgeon General Sternberg attempted to explain the difficulty in securing the prop- er equipments at the beginning, and de- clared that he had always Instructed his men to spare no money in securing what- ever was needled. cretary Alger said he would hold every man responsible for any neglect in main- taining camps in perfect sanitary con- dition. the light of past events he In thought the sickness should be kept down. It seemed to be the general opinion that both the division and the regimental hos- pitals are a necessity. Gen. Ludington says that Gen. Wiley’s reference was to the quartermaster at Chickamzuga. He declares that all requisi- tions sent to Washington were promptly honored. Alger Says He Has Not Resigned. Secretary Alger says there is no truth in the statements that he resigned his place to President McKinley two weeks ago when he asked for an investigation of his office. He will establish army posts, he says, at no point where it is too cold to sleep under canvas. ee gg eas Misinformation About Wheat. From the New York Tribune. In discussing the world’s wheat supply before a British scientific association Sir William Crooke was , obyjously impelled rather by a desire to demonstrate the ne- cessity of using nitrates on a great scale than by anxiety to be scieptifically accu- rate about the present, whgat supply. His expesition of the theory thnt nitrates can be developed from the air by use of elec- tricity and that “‘Niaghra alone is capable re been RETS and a mild and effective Che simply won- erful.

But his picture of the speedy exhaustion of the world’s supply of wheat without such re- lief is sufficiently gloomy and inaccurate to be worthy of the Kansas writer who semi-occasionally discharges misinforma- tion on the subject. Sir Wililam Crooke says that the bread eaters of the world number 516,500,000, and if each is to have his proper ration 2,3; 000,000 bushels will be required for seed and food. One may pause to remark that nobody knows how many bread eaters there are, ror is the number anywhere near the same from year to year, nor does anybody know how much their average consumption is within 100,000,000 bushes in any year. Any man professing to know will bemire himself at once in trying to make guesses by traders in various coun- tries serve in place of facts. When the United States government does not know the yield and of necessity the consump- tion of wheat in this country within 1u0,- 000,000, bushels yearly, where does Sir William Crooke get his knowledge of this and all other countries? He further ad- mits that “since 1889 we have had seven world crops of wheat and six of rye abun- dantly in excess of the average,’’ which would jead any statistician to ask how much the “average’’ has changed through improved culture, and how much other grain, and especially corn, would be used in place of wheat were diminished wheat supplies to raise its price compared with the prices cf other grain. The assertion that this country has “been producing no less than 145,000,000 bushels for export’ within three months after it has finished exporting more than 220,000,000 bushels from one crop is a mark of the looseness pervading the whole state- ment. That peculiarity becomes fatally important when the instructor asks us to believe that ‘practically there remains no uncultivated prairie land in the United States suitable for wheat growing. . . It is almost certain that within a genera- tion the ever-increasing population of the United States will consume all the wheat grown within its borders and will be driven to Import.” Several men have made them- selves conspicuous in this country, but not distinguished, by repeating similar asser- tions. The practical men here, as well as the realy scientific, know that they are far from the truth. Nobody can pe- gin to estimate what quantity of wheat can be grown in Washington and Oregon, or om lands not yet occupied in the Da- kotas and Minnesota, nor is the wheat- growing capacity of either of the four great states south of these—Nebraska, Kansas, lowa and Missouri—known to any- body or even approximately known. Nor is this all. Vast tracts of land have ceased to produce wheat in states east of the Mississippi, not at ail because the land has been exhausted, but because of the extreme cheapness of production in the vast region further westward recently opened by many railroads. With-a very moderate rise in price no one can say what quantity such lands might also produce. All these speculations go on the assump- tion that land which has not been used for wheat growing, or not in recent years, be- cause it was too distant from railway stations, can never be so us The cost of carting wheat from the farms to the station is always the first and most potent limitation of its production. The cattle and hogs grown on the same land can transport themselves to the station on their own legs. The corn which can be raised on such more distant lard can pres- ently be transmuted into cattle and hogs. It is all the time a question of price, and the addition of over 12,000 miles of rail- road in seven northwestern states alone within a few years brought into the urea of profitable wheat growing millions of acres whose products have for the time depressed prices for the world. But it is mere trifling to say that the lines of transportation have yet been so developed, either in the far western or in the older states, that the wheat-producing area has been exhausted. better Furniture and Carpets made are in Hoeke’s Clearing Sale.—Advt. pong nee Ordered to Leave Montauk.
