Crusade on Tuberculosis
v
The Henry Phipps Institute of Phila
delphia which has been established
by the generous gift of a wealthy resi
dent of that city is doing a- great
work on behalf of persons suffering
from pulmonary tuberculosis or con
sumption The physicians employed
by this institution have compiled some
excellent rules to be observed by per
sons suffering from this disease the
careful following of which will pre
vent the extension of- the disease to
jl others and will greatly aid the
ferers to recover
f
Dont spit on the sidewalk on the
street nor into any place where you
cannot destroy the germs which you
spit up
N
Do not swallow any spit which
comes up from your lungs or which
comes out of the back part of your
throat
Spit into a spit cup when it is pos
sible to do so
Always use a spit cup with a han
dle to it so that you can hold it close
toyour mouth
When you use a china or earthen
ware spit cup always keep lye and
water in it and scald out the spit cup
once or twice a day with boiling
water
When you use a tin spit cup with a
paper spit cup inside burn the paper
cup at least once a day and scald the
tin cup with boiling water
Never use a handkerchief or a rag
or any material other than paper to
spit in or to wipe your mouth with
When you cannot spit into a spit
cup spit into a paper napkin
Always use a paper napkin to wipe
your mouth with after spitting and
be careful not to soil your hands
Always carry a cheap paper bag in
your pocket or caba to put paper nap
kins in which you have used
When you have used a paper nap
kin either to spit in or to wipe your
mouth with fold it up carefully and
put it away in the paper bag
Every evening before going to bed
burn your paper bag together with
the napkins which you have deposited
in it
If you have a mustache or beard
shave it off or crop it close
Always wash your lips and hands
before eating or drinking and rinse
out your mouth
If you have a running sore take up
the matter which is given off with
absorbent cotton and burn it
Avoid handshaking and kissing
These customs are dangerous to you
as well as to others They may give
others consumption they may bring
you colds and influenzas which will
greatly aggravate your disease and
may prevent your recovery
Do not cough if you can help it You
can control your cough to a great ex
tent by will power When you cough
severely hold a paper napkin to your
mouth so as not to throw out spit
while coughing
Sit out of doors all you can If you
have no other place to sit than the
pavement sit on the pavement in front
of your house
Dont take any exercise when you
have a high fever
Always sleep with your windows
open no difference what the weather
maybe
Avoid fatigue One single exhaust
ion may change the course of your
disease from a favorable one to an un
favorable one
Go to bed early If you are work
ing lie down when you have a few
moments to spare
Dont take lany medicine unless it
has been prescribed by your physician
Medicine may do you harm as well as
good
Dont use alcoholic stimulants of
any kind
Dont eat pastry or dainties They
do not nourish you and they may up
set your stomach
Take your milk and raw eggs
whether you feel like it or not
Keep up your courage Make a
brave fight for your life Do what you
are told to do as though your recovery
depended upon the carrying out of
every little detail
Always keep in mind that consump
tion can be cured in many cases and
bat it can be prevented in all cases
If your own disease is too far ad
vanced for you to recover console
yourself with the idea that you can
keep those who are near and dear to
you from getting it
Nerve Poisoning Through Indigestion
Prof Bouchard the eminent French
scientist has shown that the decompo
sition of food which often takes place
in the stomach and intestines in in
digestion gives rise to powerful poi
sons When absorbed into the body
these produce effects entirely similar
to those produced by strychnia opium
alcohol and other poisonous drugs If
food is retained in the stomach be
yond the normal time either because
of its indigestibility the taking of too
large a quantity of it or a crippled
state of the stomach these changes
are certain to take place
This fact explains a very large
share of the distressing symptoms
which afflict the chronic dyspeptic
The giddiness the tingling sensations
the confusion of thought and even
partial insensibility which are not in
frequently observed a few hours after
meals in chronic dyspeptics are due
to this cause Here is the explanation
of the irascibility the despondency
the pessimism the indecision and
various other forms of mental perver
sity and evn moral depravity which
are not Infrequently associated with
certain forms of indigestion The to-
tal depravity which we often hear
talked about is half the time noth
ing more nor less than total indiges
tion
A Convincing Test
In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonished
the world They show themselves to
be more enduring more resistant to
the effects of wounds keener witted
sharper in tactics and quicker in exe
cution than their Russian antagonists
The Jap is content with a simple diet
of rice peas or beans which is quick
ly cMgested and converted into brawn
and brains while the Russian must
have his meat and hisvodka
The same dietary the same simplic
ity and naturalness in habits of life
which give toughness of fiber and en
durance and immunity against infec
tion afford equal advantages in fight
ing the battle of life in any direction
The brain worker who wants to keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with un
ceasing energy must keep his blood
clean by a pure simple natural diet
The lawyer the clergyman the busi
ness man the teacher the investiga
tor the inventor will find the same
advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier who is for the first
time testing his metal by a great con
test with an army of civilized men
Alcohol vs Long Life
It is very easy to prove that the in
fluence of alcohol as of every other
poison is to shorten life Dr Willard
Parker of New York shows from sta
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages of
twenty one and thirty fifty one intem
perate persoris die Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users is
five hundred per cent greater than
that of temperate persons These fig
ures are based on the tables used
test of both moderate and immoderate
drinkers that alcohol does not harm
them that it is a necessary stimulus
a preventive of fevers colds consump
tion etc and the assertion of certain
chemists that it is a conservative
agent preventing waste and so pro
longing life the distinguished English
actuary Mr Nelson has shown from
fniiinii fiot j whiri nannot be gain
said that while the temperate man
has at twenty years of age an aver
age chance of living forty four and
one fifth years the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one half
years of life At thirty years of age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one half years more of life
while the dram drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years
On the other hand the Rechabite
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive to
longevity
Effects of Alcohol Upon Digestion
Prof Kochlakoff of St Petersburg
has experimented upon five healthy
persons aged from twenty one to twenty-four
years with reference to the
effects of alcohol upon digestion Ten
minutes before each meal each person
was given about three ounces of alco
holic liquor containing from five to
fifty per cent of alcohol which is
about the proportion found in ordinary
liquors The following results were
obtained
Under the influence of alcohol the
quantity of hydrochloric acid as well
as the digestive power of the gastric
juice is diminished This enfeebling
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use of
alcohol
Dr Figg of Edinburgh made the fol
lowing experiments to test the influ
ence of alcohol upon digestion He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton He then administered to one
dog by passing a tube into the stom
ach one and one fourth ounces of
alcohol After five hours both dogs
were killed and examined The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely
whereas digestion had scarcely begun
in the animal to which alcohol had
been administered

IS FOR THE ARMY
STANDARD OIL TRUST
A Circular Issued By the War De
partment
WASHINGTON A circular issued
by the war department to the army
gives the text of a letter received by
the secretary of war from Representa
tive Littlefield of Mhine relative to
the anti canteen act and ttye secre
tarys reply together with instruc
tions to officers with respect to their
reports on the subject In his letter
Mr Littlefield states that he is the
author of the anti canteen amend
ment and adds
I regret to say that an impression
prevails that the officers of the army
are not only adverse to this legisla
tion but are prejudiced against it If
this is true it has created an un
friendly atmosphere that not only will
impair the efficiency of the recreation
and amusement feature but will of
itself practically defeat the object of
the legislation
Secretary Taft in reply said
s I think you are correct in assum
ing that a great majority of the of
ficers in the army regard the anti
canteen amendment as ill advised and
likely to increase drunkenness in the
ranks Indeed I must admit to you
that as at present advised I share
your opinion
The secretary says it was the in
tention of those who favored the
amendment to substitute for the can
teen a commodious posjt exchange
and the question whether that sys
tem is to be maintained or the can
teen with the privilege of drinking
beer and light wines only will be
settled by congress after a careful in
vestigation
Secretary Taft said that while he
recognized the danger of formed
opinions coloring more or less judg
ment as to results obedience to pr
ders is with army officers the first
soldierly virtue and if cautioned to
report facts impartially they will
obey the directions of constituted au
thority He then informed Mr Little
field that he would transmit the cor
respondence together with a caution
to all officers adding
I have no doubt of the good faith
by life insurance companies and energy with which the officers of
Notwithstanding the constant pro- the army are carrying out the pur
pose of congress in providing the
post exchange and I dont think any
caution in this respect is needed
- In his circular to the army the sec
retary of war requests officers who
in their annual reports are called to
speak of the operations of the anti
canteen act to present facts whether
pro or con uncolored by individual
views He says
With the good faith of the army
in making these reports unless on
their face they are impartial state
ments of the facts which have come
to the knowledge of the officers will
in the heat of controversy certainly
be attackked if there is the slightest
internal evidence of a bias on the
part of the witnesses and the army
officers duty in the premises is to
be merely impartial judges of opera
tions of the act
President Roosevelt Gets After the
Aggregation
WASHINGTON President Roose
velt has directed James R Garfield
commissioner of corporations of the
department of commerce and labor
to begin immediately the oil investi
gation requested by the house of rep
resentatives in a resolution adopted
unanimously
The investigation by direction of
the president will be rigid and com
prehensive
The president has directed a letter
to Commissioner Garfield in which
he has given directions and presented
in outline his views
The inquiry will be pressed as
rapidly as possible The scope of the
investigation and the time it will oc
cupy cannot be indicated at this time
Representative Campbell of Kan
sas the author of the resolution
adopted by the house had a confer
ence with President Roosevelt
Mr Campbells idea is that the in
vestigation snould concern particular
ly the situation in the Kansas field
but he expressed to the president his
belief that the inquiry once begun
would extend to the operations of the
Standard Oil company in the Beau
mont field of Texas and perhaps to
other fields
