The (irip Epidemic.
Victims of the urip generally agree
that it is entirely buperlltious to e.a
gerote its pains and after conse
(ptencfiS. It is, however, not dillieult
to augment tile epidemic hy creating
alarms that really predispose the
timid and fearful to take the disease,
if it be contagious or infectious. Tlio
use of superlatives and overstate
ments adds to the increase of any in
factious disease bv worry, which, as
nil physicians and some laymen may
know, is potent for evil in uch cases.
The grip is not a new disease, and
it dlHers from the "influenza" of long
ago only as our habits of living have
left us wore susceptible and less able
to resist its attacks. There is hardly
a malady whose symptoms to-day are
identical with tho-e uttundant on the.
disease fifty years ago.
The initial symptoms of grip, how
ever, do nut much differ from those
of the influen.us of other days. The
glandular phenomena are substan
tial! the same, and the febrile condi
tion continues a marked feature. The
chief dillerence is in the. sequelae,
vhicli characterize modern seizure..
If there is functional impairment,
grip generally increases it, and per
haps it did that fifty years ago. Hut
Btioh impairment was much loss fre
quent in the old time than it is now,
and thus ufier effects were much
more limited and simple at that rime.
nfurtuiiately the old inllueii.a is
nut much more than a recollection.
Plusieians did not write the history
of such cases then to anything like
the extent common nowadays. The
treatment has changed also, and al
most certainly for the better. The
tendency of the disease to involve
whule families and whole neighbor
hoods holds nsgood now as ever. This
tendency seems to show that there is
a specific contagion, or, in modern
parlance, H specific genu, probably
borne in the atmosphere. It, how
ever dues not mutter much how the
disease promulgates itself unlebs
souiehudy cun devise means to destroy
the conditions.
The be,ht. advice relates to cleanli
nuotviuid plain Ihing, to avoidance of
unnecessary exposure, to proper
clothing and a quiet mind. AVhon
people relleet that grip is a glandular
disease, and that the internal organs
are a co related system of great
glands, tlio necessity of defending
against grip by correct habits of liv
ing must beeome apparent. The
most correct liver may have grip, but
the secondary effects of the malady
are less formidable to such a person
than to one given to excesses.
One of the best defences against
grip lies in wearing extra protection
from the neck down between the
shoulders and in front upon the chest.
Besides this, the feet should bo
warmly clothed, and overshoes Bhould
always bo worn out of doors during
the eold and damp season. More de
pends upon the protection of the feet
Ugainst sudden chill than seems to be
generally admitted. Overshoes aro
not liked by persons who think the
unsullied polish of their footgear is
of first account. Hut a rubber sole
between the damp pavements and
the leather would in many cases save
health uud life.
Klght living is plain living, and
everybody knows what plain living
is. With ample food of a plain de
scrlption, and the body well defended
against the ever-changing weather,
the grip, though it may come to any
one, need not be eared as a mortal
malady. And we have to reinembe
that grip has had all- manner of ap
plications to consequences not due t
it as an initial cuuso. The victims of
so-called grip are many more than
tlio real cases of the malady, Wilkes-

Those who were citizens of Hawaii on
Aug. 12, 1SUS, are made citizens of the
United States. One house will not be
allowed to constl'ute the legislature In
case the other adjourns, nor will It be
necessary to have the sanction of three

not less than live nor more thnn ID

proved to obtain a divorce.
The mlnoilty report was prepared by
Mr. II. H. Kei gusson, delegate from
New Mexico. It declares:
"It Is Important to emphasize th
fnct that new territory as acquired
should be governed as other territories
of tli" ITnltrd States have been from the
foundation of the government, with the
view to ultimate admission to state
hood. Upon this theory we believe that
Hawaii should be given substantially
the same form of government as has
been In other territories of the United
States.
"We also object to the proberty quali
fication for members of the senate or
the legislature of Hawaii. This Is an
Innovation recognizing by law the right
of wealth to govern, and Is certainly
a dangerous tendency In a republic al
ready threatened by the too great
power of cone titrated wealth."
Women Should Know It.
Many women stiller untold agony nnd
misery because the nature of their disease is
not correctly understood. They have been
led to believe that w omb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine witli strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician lo
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and isensy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may

Dr. Jackson poiuts to
the startling fact that
thpre are now 20 million
Catarrh victims in this
country nnd the number
rapidly increasing. It
lias nheady become the
National Disease. Arc
we to become a nation of
Catarrhites? It loqks
like it.
The Aboriginal Indians are said not to have
known the disease. Thnt proves it is not caused
hy our climate and must have been Imported.
Its Rtowtli was slow but persistent, forty
years ago there were less than 40.000 cases In
the I'. ., to-day there are 20 million. Soon
there will be 30 million. 'Where Is It to eud?
Shall we not awake till It has fastened Its fan-s
on eveiy man, woman and child In the laud?
llow shall we prevent It unless we take immed
iate und vigorous steps to stamp out the plague:
This putrid disease knows uo sex, no cljss, m
station. It is everywhere. A germ (microbel
disease It spreads by contagion. The carlou
breath nnd expectoration of the poor victim arc
loaded with these microbes. Others breath the-:i
hi, they find lodgement and never release their
hold till the victim lies down In death, unless
every microbe Is killed. Hut can they be killed ?
Yes, but not by any "blood medicine." No Ca
tarrh germ was ever found In the blood. The
trouble is loi il aud must be treated locally. A
bklcuu Ins been discovered that Is sure death
to the Catarrh microbe, mailing a radical nnt
permanent cure. It is Brazilian Halm. It has
cured tens of thousands iu the past 15 years. 1
nlso cures alt the troubles caused by Catarrh
nsSore Throat, Old Coughs, llronchltls, Asthm.
nnd Iing troubles. The swallowing 01 th
Catarrh pus makes the Stomach raw aud utccr
nled. The Brazilian Uolm soou makes a radical
cure of the Stomach and alimentary canal. II
Is the cheapest remedy on the niarkit, a $l.Ct
bottle containing a whole tuottUi's treatment
As all sufferers with Catarrh and Asthma have
run-down systems we will till January next put
n mouth's treatment of Toxlcola Tablets, free
hi with every $1.00 bottle of Ilrarlllan Halm
This is the best Tonic and nerve n-id strengtl
bultder known. You get hit lor $1.C0, a month'
treatment ot both. Now Is the time to treai
your Catarrh. Do not delay. Ask your druggist
and take no substitute. If he will not get It,
