NORFOLK HAS THE GRIP.
Five Hundred Cases of the Disease In
This City.
Norfolk has the grip. There are 500
cases of it here. This estimate Is
made by physicians , who say the cpl-
ilemlc Is worse than ever known hero
before. The general practitioners say
: hat a large majority of their calls now
are to treat cases of grip. The dis
ease has Invaded nearly every home
n the city.
The present epidemic of grip Is not
so severe as the one several years ago
when the disease first made Its ap
pearance. Its prevalence now is at
tributed to the springlike weather ,
which has caused many persons to go
without overcoats and wraps , to ex
change heavy for light clothing and to
lo other foolish things.
"The most remarkable feature of
this season's epidemic of grip , " said
a physician , "is the tenacious charac
ter of its after effects. When grip
appeared sixteen years ago the com
plications which followed were of a
more serious nature than the grip it
self , from which a patient ; In the usual
course of things , recovers in about
four or five days. The patient Is left
weak and exhausted , his nervous sys
tern Is impaired to a great extent and
lie has mental symptoms , which some
times develop a-serious aspect. "
"Between the years which followed
the first appearance of the grip , and
this year , " a Washington physician Is
quoted as saying , "these more serious
after effects became less noticeable ,
but they have become manifest with
almost their full vigor this season. 1
have even found symptoms of mental
affliction in many cases I have treated
this year. "
Physicians differ In their opinions
respecting certain phases of grip
Some of them Insist that it is con
tagions , others that it Is not. The
theory that it Is a germ disease Is also
rejected by many of the doctors.
There Is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together , and until the last few
years was supposed to be Incurable
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced It a local disease and prescrib
ed local remedies , and by constantly
falllns to cure with local treatment
pronounced It Incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure , manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co. , Toledo , Ohio , Is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It Is taken
Internally In doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonCul. H acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the f /a-
tem. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case It fals to cure. Send for
circulars nnd testimonials.

AN ALIBI- FOR JHE FAT WOMAN
Fat Woman Didn't '
Have Noack's Grip
But Baggageman Did.
No , the big fat woman at the city
depot of the Northwestern was cross
eyed but she wasn't standing over the
alligator leather grip of H. C. Noacli
of Chicago , manager of the fire hose
department of the New York Belting
& Packing company.
Noack lost his grip at the Norfoll
depot Tuesday noon. His hurried
search at the depot was fruitless
From the West hotel In Sioux City ho
put Chief Flynn on the trail of the
missing grip. And he told the chle :
that he suspected the fat woman 01
having stood over his property unti
ho had to make a run for the Sioux
City train. Ho also accused the wo
man of being cross-eyed.
Chief Flynn found the grip Wednes
day noon. A green baggage man had

"Dreams of January 5 , 1908 , " the
poem Is entitled. It runs :
Just a month ago they left us
In the sunny clime of life ;
Yet a cloud seemed hanging over
Filled with bitterness and strife.
They were young and they were happy
Living with the tie that binds , '
Yet a demon came to tempt them
As he does all that he finds.
Still at moments they'd be cheerful
With Sophia by their side ,
For they loved her beyond language.
She was their Joy their pride.
Then the green-eyed monster , Jealousy ,
Sought to gain another end
And he made n crime so terrible
No atonement can amend.
I loved them both so dearly ;
It was reciprocated I know ,
For recent messages written
By them , tells mo It was so.
They are quit of this world's sadness
And sheltered whore they know no
care ,
For I know when they reached the
golden gates
Their sufferings had paid their fare.
