Tennessee's Pluck Shown in Her Fire
Centennial Show
One of the most inspiring lessons
of the Centennial Exposition lies in
the pluck displayed by the men and
women who built it.
While wheat was choking tho bius
of the elevators, corn burning as a
substitute for soft coal, and the pred
atory pig regarded only as an en
cumbrance and a thing of misery ;
when railroads were defaulting on
their deferred bonds, thoir preferred
stocks provoked only ironical laugh
ter, and the roads themselves were
thereatened with that total collapse
which someone has aptly described
an two streaks of rust and a mort
gage; when that pest of a fly with
the silver wings shadowed one half
of the Republic, and the bug with
the golden tail was about to devast
ate the other ; when a rattling find
of exploding banks was kept up
along the main lino of commerco,
followed by a series of lesser deton
ations whenever and wherever tho
connecting wires of their mutual in
terests or calamities carried the
disastrous current ; when tariff and
intrcventiens and flood and lab.r
riots were followed by smokeless
chimneys, motionless flywheels, and
silent looms, and all the horrors of
idleness hung over tho land like a
cloud from out which could be
heard muttorings of tho coining
storm, a cyclone that would sweep ud
into the nowhero of desolation
when all these several calamities
overwhelmed us, thou it was that

The Service of the West to Educatior.
Tho susceptibility of Americans to
new ideas is a notable tlemeur. in
the prosperity of the couutry. The
people are willing to try anythin
that is now. This is specially true
of the West, whero tho enterpising
inhabitants are always seeking
short-cuts to wealth and to knowl
edge. This adventurous spirit of
ten leads to superficiality, but it has
alHO been very fruitful of now meth
ods of school education. The kin
dergarten idoa was taken up and de
veloped in the West. There manual
training was first tried on a large
scale with satisfactory results. And
it was teachors in tho west vho first
brought about the introduction of
"literaturo" in the lower grades as
the best moans of interesting unde
veloped minds. In fact, they de
monstrated the truth that it is bet
ter for the child tc feed upon ideas
upon thought, upon real stories, and
the lives of real people, and tho
stimulating sentiments of all the
ages, than upon the inane sentences
jejune and successful effort to be
childish of the reading books.

The nlarmin;; iticrcn.se ia the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a rtroug sentiment
Hgainst such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors' treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi
cians decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis
takes are too fatal to be indulged in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be
ing a fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
It is a positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to care a blood disease, and a sur
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
cer and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
cer is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can ba
cut from the blood.
Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeon's knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes :
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him a great deal of pain, and con
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but I thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the canper dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was a permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had a sign of the dreadful disease to re
turn." S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed
