A Decided Change

FOR THE SETTER FOLLOWS THE USE OF OR. WILLIAM’S PINK PILLS.

Health and Strength the Certain Outcome —Thed Are Unrivalled as a Spring Med- icine and Give Feeling of Renewed Freshness and Vigor.

Among the remarkable cures which have followed the use of Dr. ‘Williams’ Pink Pills is that of Mrs. Geo. N. God- sve, a well known resident of Anagance Station, N. B. Mrs. Godsoe says:—*‘: For five vears | wasa suffererfrom a most pecular trouble, which seemed to baffle the skill of several physicians. The first symptom of my trouble I can- not characterize better than by calling them blind spells, as my head would get so bad that 1 could net see and a blindne-s would come over me. Then I would grow faint and dizzy and could not walk about. My hands and arms would become perfectly numb and would sometimes remain in this con- dition for days. Latterly the attacks grew more frequent and more severe. 1 beca've so nervous and run down that life was indeed a burdento me. My appetite was very poor and I was pale and emaciated. As regular medical treatment made no improvement in my condition, some of my friends strongly urged me totry Dr. Williams Pink Pills. and at last 1 consented to do so. I had ouly been taking them for a short time when there was a decided change for the better in my condition. I con- tinued their use and every day my nerves seemed’ to grow stronger. 1 gained in flesh and felt like as new woman. I knew the load of msery from which Dr. Williams’ PinkfPills have relieved me and I ani more than grateful and will never lose an opportunity of say- ing a good word for this grand medi- cide.

Any who are suffering from diseases of the blood and nerves may, like Mrs. Godsoe, find a eure if they will give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial. Asa spring medicine there is nothing else ean equal Dr.- Williams’ Pink Pills.

They drive the seeds Of disease frem the system and yive those who use them a feeling of freshness and vigor, Do not be persuaded to take any pink col- ored preparation, or something else alleged to bes‘just as good.” Insist upon getting the genuine Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and if your dealer does not pave them instock, they will be sent

THE DAILY FXAMIVER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL 15, 1897

A DREADFUL DISEASE INFORMATION OF VALUE TO EVERY- BODY ABOUT APPENDICITIS.

A Tunpgrerous Superfluity--Popular Errors on the Sabjéct—How to Recognize the Danger Signs—Between the Ages of Ten and Thirty It Is Most to Be Feared.

There is a popular and false notion that appendicitis is caused by a grape

teed, an orange seed or some other foreign |

substance getting into the vermiform appendix. The true cause is the setting ép of inflammation and consequent gan- grene in the tissue of the appendix, us- ually due to insufficient circulation of biced in the part itself. In thousands of operations which have taken place— many in tisue to save the life of the pa- tient and many tog late—there is not one authenticated case of a foreign sub- stance, such as asced, being found in the appendix. This will be more fully realized when one has in mind that the interior of the appendix is only big erough to admit a medium sized darn- ing needle. Its great liability to disease is due entirely to its low order of vital resistauce-—that is, it isan organ which appears to have no actual use in the present machinery of man, but in the earlier stages of man’s development it is believed to have been a large pouch that played an important part in the fligestive operations of the human sys- tem. By ages of disuse it has gyadually shrunk to its present dimensions and is known to science as a vestigial organ, one which is enly a remnant of its former self and possessing but a vestige of its original fuxctions.

This becomes more clear if some other parts of the body which now seem to have no use are considered. The tonsils are in this class and also the wisdom tecth, and both are peculiarly subject to disease.

The appendix is in one of the most delicate aud vital parts of the body, in the peritoneal cavity, usually to the right of the center of the abdomen.

But in rare instances it has been found on the left side, and still more rarely otherwise displaced. This discovery, made yery recently, has caused the sur- geons to he extremely careful to locate the trouble befcre nsing the knife.

But science never stands still. It al- Ways pushes its investigations beyond mere appearances, and out of the myte- ries of nature develops facts which give it power and might. When it was once proved that the poison which produced septic peritonitis came from the break- ing down or decay of the appendix, the very root of one of man’s worst physical foes was laid bare. Further practice established beyond a doubt that in a large majority of cases the appen- dix could be removed by a siinple sur- gical operation and the patient restored to vigorous health, if the disease was discovered in time and correctly diag- nosed,

The surgeons now regard the opera- tion itself as one of the most simple, but to obtain the best results it should take place within a few hours after the patient begins to suffer from the disease. In fact, the sconer the operation is had the better are the chances of recovery, while if the knife is not resorted to death is sure to ensne very promptly or after lingering miseries from the deadly poison perambulating through the sys- tem and coming to the surface in ab- EcesseSs.

The symptoms are so plain and un- mistakable to the surgeon of today that any sufferer may know them for himself:

First. —The attack is always sudden. It comes cn when the person is appar- eutly in the best of health and without the slightest warning..

Second.—A sharp pain is felt in the very center of the abdomen. ‘his is al- ways the case, whether the appendix be in its correct place on the right side or displaced to the left.

Third.—A sore and tender spot, very painfnl to the touch, is located cxactly where the incision must be made to find the appendix.

These are the three plain symptoms which have been found in thousuncs of casos With scarcely a Variation.

Thus itis that many sudden deaths occur to persons in robust health. They are thought to have a cclic ora vertigo, when the truth is that miserable and useless little organ, the appendix, bas met with some kind cf an accident and clogs the whole machine.

Appendicitis usually cccurs between the uzes of 10 and 20 years. It is cx- tremcly rare above or below those ages. It is muck more frequent amon ; than females, the propertion in ali sountries being 20 per cent fematcs to

80 per cent males. The cause fer this difference is of very recent discovery, and is not even

a Pe REZ MuaictS S

krown generally among the nicdical ‘ : } iin Dies went professicn. Dr. Clado, a Prench surgeon

und investigator, songht an explanation of the comparative immunity of the fe- male sex from the malady, and discov- ercd that the appendix in woman has an extra blood vessel that does not exist in man. This discevery was hailed with delight by the surgical world. It was not only a bit of new knowledge of in- finite value, but was an additional proof

of the theory that the collapse of the |

appendix is always due to its want of vital resistance.—New York Journal.

THEN THEY DID CARRY SAIL.

Wrecked Tophamper, of Which Skipper: of California Clippers Were Proud.

The old skipper was in a somewhat pes: eimistic mood and, as usual, was reminis- cent.

“In the palmy days of the American clippers,’’ he said, ‘the merchants owned the ships, and the captains were responsible to the merchants only. ‘The go between of the present day, the ship broker, was hard ly knewn. ‘The captains were to some ex: tent partners. Short voyages always meant dollars to all concerned.

‘*Look over the files of the newspapers from 1850 to 1854 and notice the number of California ships piled up cripples in the ports of Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro. They carried sail in those days on that voy age from here tc San Francisco and some- times the underwriters felt sore, The enor. mous freights paid made it worth every effort to make a short passage. Some ships got as muchas $1.40 a cubic foot for light- weight and measurement goods. Now they can’t get 20 cents.

‘*I can recollect the first trip of the fa- mous clipper Flying Cloud to San Fran- cisco. She sprung her mainmast, and about all her light spars. Captain Creesy, her skipper, wasa famous driver and proud as the devil of his reputation. The shir returned to New York a wreck aloft, but everything was standing. The captain ex- hibited at the Astor House for some days the ship’s topgallant mast fids. They were made of New England pasture oak and plated on the top and bottom edges with three-quarter inch iron. They were 16 inches deep and 5*% inches thick, and the tremendous pressure of the sails and gear on the topgallant masts downward had crushed them and the iron plates until they were curved like a half moon.

“‘Crowds went to the Astor House and stared at these testimonials of the skipper’s nerve. The ship was rerigged and sparred for her next trip to San Francisco. ‘D—n the expense,’ her owners said, and the skipper was riding down to his ship every day, while the shippers were fighting tc ship goods on her.’’—New York Sun.

[ MR. RUST GETS A LETTER.

Delayed Cecause Addressed to Him Under His Chemical Name,

As curious a letter as has been re- ceived in Kansas City for many months reached the postoffice recently, and after a great display of learning on the part of some of the clerks it was finally de- livered to the man for whom it was in- tended. The distributing clerk who first got hold of the letter looked at it in jespair. It was plainly evident that the writer of the letter had been burning the midnight oil in an attempt to bafile the postoffice force.

The first line contained the letters “J. S&S. FE203.’’ The letters were plain enough, but what did they mean? The next line began with a large A, then there was a carefully executed drawing of what had the appearance of bar- ber’s comb, then a small a, and finaDy a representation of a house, drawn by one whose early education had been sad- ly neglected.

What should have been the third line of the addrecs was in the shape of a more or less accurate map of Kansas City, showing the junction of the streets in that vicimty. The last line was an- other map, showing the boundaries of the state of Missouri,

It was plain enough that the letter was for some one who lived in the state of Missouri and in Kansas City. It did not take a great stretch of imagination to discovey that the comb and the sketch of a house had some vague reference to the Acoma building. So far it was easy sailing, but who was the mysterious ‘‘J. S. FE208?’’

After puzzling his brain for a long time, without any good result, the clerk took the letter to Night Clerk Canfield, who is supposed to be able to guess all sorts of conuncrums.

**I can tell you a part of it,’’ said he. “IT can tell you that ‘FE203’ are the chemical symbols for ferric oxide. Now if you can find out who he is you are all right.’’

Still the distributing clerk was unable to solve the question. He went about asking every one what he knew about ferric oxide. He finally encountered one man who was more of a chemist than the others, and he imparted to him the information that ferric oxide in common parlance is called ‘‘rust.’’

That is how J. 8. Rust received the letter over which his friend in Concep- tion, Mo., had spent so much time.— Kansas City Times.
