tor Children
Children arc coaatantfy cxpooed to all aorta of dis
eases. The air they breathe i filled with germs, sewer
gaa and dost from to filthy streets are inhaled into the
fangs and taken into the blood. At the crowded 6chool
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with others recovering from or in the first
stages of contagions disraars, Yon cant quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best yon can
do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of course.
children wbose blood is pure) are not nearly bo liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish Mood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S. , being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for
the delicate constitutions of -children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic
for children ; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion and assimilation of food. If your child
ren have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted ; this will cost you noth
ing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to

Buritogtoo, N C. Mewenger May 14th

cola had been unearthed wlinla tbe cit) ,

newt monger who invariably inagui!)'
all Ibey hear, tell more than they ever
knew, and hope ihe naif may come
true.
"The fact of tbe case are as follows
Doc'' Fuller, colored, was plowiuir (or
U L. Sulphln, on one of the streets laid
oat by the city officials through the rail
road land tu the rear of the o.d shops
and near the Academy, when he plowed
up a piece of metal The colored mun
took the metal in Mr bmphtn, who was
orklng In the field about twenty yards
distant when the discovery was made,
and he pronounced it a medal or stoie
check, and placing the plecj In his
pocket remarked, "1 will keep tills."
Fuller returned to the plow and then no
ticed a small wooden receptacle nlled
ith a number of the same kind of
medals," which he casually placed in
the wagon near by At this juncture
culler wai handed a telegram summon
ing him to attend the funeral of a sister
at (iiusonvllle, and he hastily left the
field to make preparations to go on this
sad mission. He carried tbe "medals"
to his home and giving them to his wife
remarked, ' There are some medals 1
plowed up. Mybe we can get a dollar or
two for them." He then came up town
preparatory to taking his departure for
liihsonville. bringing a few of the "med
als'' with him, wtiicii he sold to colored
hoys for 15c. each. These were recov
ered, however, and "Corn" Tarpley con
vinced Fuller that It was money by send
ing one piece to the bsnk and receiving
20 silver dollars In exchange. Fuller
then took his departure for Ulbson-
vllle.
As soon as Fuller's wife washed the
coins and tbe colored people learned
that It was "sho' enough money." excite
ment was at high tide in their quarter
ami so many gathered to witness the
treasure that it was considered unsafe to
leave the money In the care of Fuller'B
wife last night. Peter Holt was re
quested to secure a carriage and take
tiller s wlte to Uilisonvtllo to join her
husband. Fete was paid $20 for making
the trip. When tbe party reached Uib
souvllle the money was turned over to
'iiilur, and his wife returned to this
laiv, presumably for her "Sunday
loUies,' and then I'ute was given
another "twenty ' to take her back to
h-ionville. This may seem a trille high
r a cabman's fees, hut who would t:ke
th responsibility and risk for less
money?

session of Fuller, including thoso sold,

During tbe war when the Yankees
were Invading eastern Carolina me

luantily of lewelry, the property of in

are three persons living who helped se-
rete these valuables, and the exact lo
alion is not known.
It is supposed to have been buried
near the Academy, and as the Yankees
camped where the money had lieen se
creted It was always conceded by the
local residents that these troops secured
the treasure.
It Is probable that the money found
was a portion of that burled by the bank
officials. Major Wiley, who was present
and helped bury the money, will later
give an historical sketch of the incident
through these columns.
(The Hank of Commerce, mentioned
above, of which Alonzo T. Jerkins, was
President, John A. (luion. Cashier, John
Hutchinson. Teller, moved from this
city upon tin evacuation of New Hern
which was early In the war.
doing to Hurllngton, N. C, the report
was that a ouantlty of gold was carried
along, how much is not known.
Three years later, upon tho approach
of Sherman s Army, Hurllneton was
threatened, and the bank officials burled
their gold.
Afterwards, when the war wa over
search was made for this hurled gold
but it could not be located, or It was

the Invading army had secured It.

"The dunger In uncooked vegetable

proves fertilizers lu preserving tbe am

excess of this chemical should be neti
trnllzed by llnely ground phosphate

formed becoming n valuable fertilizing
Ingredient.
All raw vegetables offered In mar

been fertilized with any waste matter
that may be contaminated with pntho
conic germs. All gardens and fields
should be open to inspection by health
ollicers the same ns dairies and cream
cries and for the reason that tenfold
more danger lurks in vegetables sc
grown than in either milk, butter or
veil water.
No vegetables should bo sold In the
markets when grown in contact with
stable or house manure or other waste
occurring from the habitation of city
houses where disease Is possible. The
small parasites that animate our lus
clous lettuce table salad are In them
selves harmless little things, even the

In the folds of the leaves being fairly
harmless, if not toothsome, though I
ilwnys maintain that all vegetables
brought to a market should be required
to Ik; free from sand and other dirt
as Is the case In the markets of Paris
Even with a thorough Inspection and
when grown under sanitary conditions
vegetables should be rewnshed in ster
ilized water before eaten. 1 here arc
great possibilities of spreading typhoid
and other germ diseases by eating un
cooked food which has been exposed to
pathogenic germs.
Where fruits have been sprayed to
guard against the growth of certain
fungi with which gome trees nre af
fected or against Insects traces of the
spraying material may be retained, es
peclnlly In arid climates, where irrlga
tlon is practiced and the rainfall Is not
sufficient to wnBh away the poison
For this reason grapes and other foods
subjected to the spraying process
should be washed In sterilized water
before using. It is not wise to advise
total abstinence In regnrd to uncooked
vegetables, but It Ih the part of wisdom
to remove any danger of ixmslble con
tamination. By a bacteriological ex

Freezing, baking, Illuminating, tor
tnrlng, frightening and bruising are
among the accepted ways of curing cer
tain diseases, says a w riter lu the I'lill-
ndclphla Tunes. For example, the bak
ing cure: When one has a well (level
oped rheumatism, he Is placed In a sK-
cles of stove nnd the crystals of url
acid nre literally melted out of his Isidy
Another odd cure once tried for
rheumatism was burial In damp,
warm clay. The first rheumatic burial
took place at Menominee, Mich. The
treatment was not a success, and this
form of enn- has boon given up.
Tbe freezing cure: This was first In
troduced by a Swiss doctor, Paul Ilur
deyront. He placed his patients In
sheets Immersed In Ice water, packing
the patient all about with crushed Ice.
This treatment Is today used in typhoid
fever cases.
Or the patient Is plunged into an lee
water bath. The treatment saves many
lives. Paging fever above 103 degrees
F. has been brought down by thoso
means to normal OH 2 ,r degrees In
less than ten minutes.
Neither of these modes of treatment
actually fm-zes one. A pbyslclnn of
Purls, M. l'lgeau, Introduced In IK'JO on
ammonia vnpor method, which really
froze the patient. The body wns placed
In a chamber Into w hich certain chem
icals were Introduced. Ammonia gas,
by sudden evaporation, then produced
Intense cold, and the blood In the body
lost most of Its hent.
M. Flifeau'a method did not meet
with success. Homo of his patients
succumbed to the drastic measures,
and the practice was abandoned.
