TREATING VR0NU DISEASES.
Many times women call on their
lamiiy physicians suffering, as they
iiuagiue, oue from dyspei).sia, another I
Irom heart disease, another from liver
or kidney .disease, another "from nerv-
. I
ous exhaustion or prostration, another
witli oniu here and there, and in this
way all present alike to themselves
and their easy-goicg and indifferent,
or over-busy doctor, separate and' dis
tinct diseases, for which her assuming
them to be such, prescribes his uills
and .-potions. In reality, thev are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of
the cause of sufi'ering, -encourages this
practice until la.rgc j)ills aio made.
The suffering patient gets no better,
but prol ably worse by reason of the
delay, wrong treatment and consequent
complications." A proper medicine
like Dr. Pierce's J'lavorite Prescrip
tion, directed to the cause would have
entirely removed the disease', thereby

MR. WATSON QUOTES SCRIPTURE
Editorial."
Hon. James D. ( McNeill quotes
Paul's advice to Timothy to take a
little wine for his stomach's sake;
Hon. Geo. L. Morton draws the line
between Church and State ; and now
our good friend. Hon. Cyus B. Wat
sou dips into the Book of Proverbs for
an anti-prohibition argument. Hear
him:
The man of all others who now and
. then needs a stimulant is the man who
(daily wears himslf out at hard labor,
j The man of natural heavy heart.
"It is not'for kings, O Lem-
uel. it is not for kings to drink. wine.
nor for princes strong drink. J
Give strong drink to him that is ready
to perish, and wine unto those that
be-'of heavy' hearts. Let him
drr-'-tt- and forget his poverty and re
memher his misery no more."
Was it not David who used these
words?
We don't know whether it was David
who wrote these words or not. They
are found in the 31st chapter of Prov
erbs. The Dart Mr. Watson omits
makes a strong case for our State pro
hibition bill, and we will quote iu
full:
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it
is not for kings to drink wine; nor
for princes strong drink :
-5 Lest they drink, and forget - the
law. and pervert the judgment of any
of. the afflicted.
G Give strong drink uuto him that
is ready to perish. and wine unto, those
that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and fofget his
poverty, and remember his misery no
more. '
.. . i
Tlie fifth verse, which Mr. Watson
omits, disproves his theory, for under
cur form of government every citizen
is a king (and every bov a prince),
who must decide the great issues of
right and truth, an I the admonition
to such is not to drink that which
makes them forget the law or pervert
the judgment of any of the afdkted,
or "all tlie sons of affliction." as the
margin .u-aur. Onr State -prohibition
bill provides for the exigencies men
tioned in verses 0 and 7. strong drink
for the sick, which can be obtained at
the drug store, duly (guaranteed under
the Pure rood Act; while wine tcr
those "that be of heavy hearts," can
be made by any of our citizens for
their own use, and sold in 2 1-2 gal
lon packages. Cider can be old
without restriction. (Which takes care
of the surplus apples.)
If our friend will read Prov. 20:1.
L23-.21. 2-32, he will 6nd 'there, what
Lemuel s mother taught him is clapped
to the echo. "At the last it biteth
like a serpent, and stingetlf like an
adder." is the sad experience of many
a poor fellow whom Jlr. Watson ha
been called on to defend at the bar of
justice- And how graphically the ter
rible appetite is depicted in the words :
'When "shall I awake? I will seek it
yet again." Seek what? The tnff
that has dethroned the man and eleva
te 1 Ids animal nature. I that the
way for the laboring man to fcrgvt
his verty?
As for the otkr objections Mr. Wat
son urges against prohibition, we do
him the justice of saving they ate

to
tion is not a partisan question, and if
it were, tlie Democratic party could
not afford to espouse tlie causa of the
saloon. We respect Mr. Watson's con
victions, bur dissent from his view
that the Democratic party is in dan
ger of losing the support of the busi
ness interests by heeding the moral
sentiment of the State. Water and
oil will mix when tiW railroads, mills
and other industries join tlie saloon
in punishing f"he Democratic ..party.
The galoon is the enemy of business,
never its ally.
There is not a store, factory, shop
or office in Wiustou-Salem but would
be the gainer from the banishment of
the saloon. Nor is there a man enga
ged in the liquor traffic but wouH be
better off if engaged in making two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before instead of selling liquor. Cer
tainly the worll would bo the gainer.

ELDER HARDY FOR KITCHIN

Mr. Editor Io answer to yonr ques

This is his first tfm, but it ba not
