LECTURE ON HEALTH.
Fourteen Reynoldsville People Heard the
Lecture and Our Entire Community
Should Have Heard It.
Last Friday evening Dr. J. N. Mc
Cormack, of Bowling Green, Ky., a
noted physician of high standing, lec
tured In the Presbyterian church, in
DuHols under the auspices of the Jof
ferson County Medical Society and med
ical societies of Clearfield and Elk coun
ties. It was an able and Intensely In
teresting talk on the health condition
of our country. Fourteen Reynoldsville
people hoard the lecture and It would
have boen a good thing for all the
people of Roynnldsvlllu and community
to liavo heard Dr. MuCoruiack. The
object of the publlo meeting and lecture
was to Inaugurate a reform campaign
for bottor condition of living and to
bring the doctors and laymen Into
closer touch. We cannot publish the
lecture In full, but will give space to
part of It, as follows:
"Your own state has only recently
boen made hotter by the liberal appro
priations made for publlo health work.
Even yet It Is believed that fully one
third of the sickness and deaths which
occur here every year can and should
be prevented. You had 10,780 deaths
from tuberculosis last year and you now
have a largo tuberculosis population.
In their preventive work health officials
aro constantly confronted by the pop
ular delusion that this Is an inhorlted
disease, while you should know that
even If your father and mother both
died of it, at the most, you can only In
herit the kind of constitution which
makes you especially liable If exposed
to it, and that, In spite of Inheritance,
you can no more have this disease ex
cept by getting Into your body In some
way the gorras of this dlsoase from a
previous case than you can grow oorn
or wheat on one of your rich farms
without seed.
"You had 24,471 cases Jand 3,917
deaths last year from typhoid fever.
This Is not only a preventable, but Is
distinctly a filth disease. No one can
ever have typhoid fever who does not
In some way got into his or her mouth
something from tho bowels or kidneys
of some one who has it. This is not a
nice thing to think or talk about, but It
Is st much worse to do It that nice
people ought to think and talk about It
until they can plan to Btop doing It. In
oltlos infected water is the most com
mon carrlor of the gorms, as In Ply
mouth, Butler, Soranton and Philadel
phia in your own state, and in hundreds
of othor instances which could be men
tioned. European cities discharged
their so wage! into rivers'' and lakes
which were the only source of water
supply for their own and other popu
lations, and then purified and protected
them at an expense of billions of dol
lars. Instead of profiting by these ex
perlences, In most sections of this coun
try we are rapidly converting our
streams and lakes Into open sewers and
pools, seemingly blind to the complex
sanitary probloms and econoralo burdens
we are creating for this generation and
the teomlng millions to come after us.
Typhoid fever is often carrlod lu milk,
but In small towns and country districts
It is largely carried by . the ordinary
house fly, as it was at Chicamauga and
other military camps during the war
with Spain. You had 10,870 cases and
2,438 deaths from diphtheria; 23,729
cases and 1,403 deaths from measles;
7,670 cases and 677 deaths from scarlet
fever, with a total of 36,646 deaths from
those and other preventable diseases.
This Includes 9,709 deaths of children
from infantile diarrhea, and thejannual
and indiscriminate killing of babies, by
the use of dirty, adulterated or spoiled
milk, to which that of the slaughter of
the male first-born by Herod seems in
significant, is to begin in your cities
and towns just as soon as the warm
weather sets in."
The World's Best Climate
Is not entirely free from disease,
on the high elevations fevers prevail,
while on the lower levels malaria is
encountered to a greater or less ex
tent, according to attitude. To over
come climate affections, lassitude, ma
laria, jaundice, biliousness fever and
ague, and general debility, the most
effective remedy is Electrlo Bitters,
the great alterative and blood purifier;
the antidote for every form of bodily
weakness, nervousness, and Insomnia.

Colomosimo Not
The Murderer
1
Florida Grand Jury Fails to
Find a True Bill Against
.. a Reynoldsville Man,
In the caso of the state of Florida
against Gabrielli Colomoslmo, the Ital
ian who last winter was taken from this
county to St. Augustine to answer the
charge of murder, the prosecution
failed to produce sufficient evidence to
find a true bill before the grand jury.
The widow of the deceased testified
that Colomoslmo Is not the man who
murdered her husband. Upon the ap
plication of tho proseoutlon the court
held the dofendant until next month to
give a further opportunity to furnish
eyldonce, and, upon failure to do so, the
defendant will be discharged. This Is
a strong vindication of ex-Sheriff Burns
and more than a dozen citizens of the
town of Reynoldsville who testified in
the proceedings for requisition that
the accused was In Roynoldsvllle at the
time the crime wasoommltted. Brook-

Reynoldsville to Have a Rous

Celebration.
UNDER AUSPICES OF FIREMEN
Salamanca Indians, Carnival,
LaCrosse'and Baseball, Fire
Works, and Free Attractions
on Program for Two Days,
Reynoldsville, almost alone among
the towns In this seotlon of the state,
will observe July Fourth this yoar with
good old time fervor and enthusiasm
and bids fair to be tho Mecca of pleasure
seekers for fifty miles around. The
celobration will be arranged by tbe
local firemen, and while no attempt will
be made to make it a money-making
affair, if there Is any surplus over ex
penses, It will go into the treasury of
Hope Fire Company, one of the most
useful and deserving organizations In
the city. This is an additional reason
why their efforts along this line should
receive tho hearty encouragement of
the local citizens.
Tho colobration will last two days,
July 3rd and 4th, and a program of oon
tlnous entertainment will be arranged.
Many of the minor attractions cannot
be announced until lator, but already
tee firemen have engaged a band of
firteen pure blood Indians from a gov
ernment reservation In New York state
to be present and play lacrosse and base
ball with local teams, besides partici
pating In othor spectacular features on
the program. A big carnival company
in Michigan is now being negotiated
with and this, with the street conces
sions and elaborate decorations, will
convert the streets into gay midways.
An effort is being made to secure
high class fireworks as a special even
ing attraction, with dancing and all tbe
usual amusements on the side. If given
good support many other street exhi
bitions will be secured and the program
will maintain in every way the superb
reputation Reynoldsville has gained for
brilliantly executed public celebrations.
