Many oi our popular notions, ere aeciun\ wujiu
we talk about Ball-stones'’ as if they were : omethti'; l;ke pebbles. You
probably consider them ns of that nature
But they are not stones. A real stone will ; nk in water—every
iML UUtMAH
body knows that. But this is not the rase with
gall-stones. As a matter of fact they will float
tn water.
Mind you. 1 am not talking about kidney
stonrs. These are actually mineral in their struc
ture. But gall-stones' are inure like hard cheese
than actual shun, s
They use albuminous m their nature. Let
me make this a bit clearer
The white of ears is albumen. Imagine this
to be cooked until it is quite firm. Tm l Is some
think like the material in a gall-stone, Ln short
as I have said, these unpleasant companions are
composed of albuminous material
1 am glad to te.ll you these things. I find
that many persons are very much afraid of hav
ing gall-stones and would be worried sirk if told
they are actually present.
As a matter of fart, there are t ousnr.cts upon thousands cf persons
who have them and never know it. One meat authority says 95 per
cent of those who have gall-stones never have a symptom It Is safe
to say this disturbance is much more common than wo imagine.

We shall know much more about
the disease a lew years from now
than we do at present
There can be no doubt that severe
pain is often associated with gall
bladder disease. It may take the
form of terrific colic. The remark
able thing, however, is that hist as
severe pain may be met !n persons
who have had their gall-trouble
corrected.
The latest reports I have read in
dicate that the pa hi may really be
In the stomach or upper part of the
small Intestine. All these parts of
the digestive system are so close
together that It Is extr mely chff
cult. if at all possible, to be abso
lutely sure exactly where the trou

There is an Intimate relationship
existing between call-bladder, liver,
the union ef intestine and stomach,
and the pancreas, commonly called
the “sweet-bread." The liver and
gall-bladder have at least one func
tion In common, the removal of
germs from the blood stream.
Sometimes, unfortunately, the
gall-bladder may be damaged, Then
the germs enter the tissues and
cause mi Infection of that organ.
The lining of the gall-bladder
secretes a very thick mucus. This
acts as a sort of cement to bind
together the materials which entc.

gall-stones

Editor Star;
As is known to all newspaper
readers. North Carolina has a pat- j
ent-applled for process of being!
first in everything; whether it re
lates to pre-eminence of tier active
and irrepressible bootleggers and
blindtigers, or causing the wilder
ness to blossom as fertile and pro
ductive farms; the politician that
Mourlsheth in the open air; or the
volubility bordering upon eloquence
Hint emanates from the stentorian
lungs of licr windjammers. Pre
eminent among its sons, grandsons
and denizens are the vaunting citi
zens of Cleveland county.
As one who hailed from a county
In Kentucky which furnished two
governors, three congressmen, two
attorney generals and one chief
justice. I ought to know; and here
by audit and approve her extrava
gant. claims.
Let me chronicle a true. little
story. Fifty years ago. a boy with I
t!ie red head, freckles and energy!
of Old Hickory Jackson was born in I
township No. 7—upon the classic I
waters of the raging torrent known ;
as Brushy Creek. At an early age !
he lost his mother; was placed in 1
the strenuous vocation of farming; !
and denied every education advan- !
tage except tltos* afforded by the j
elementary schools of that period, j
But he cherished a passionate j
yearning ior education; and like the
heroic Lincoln. Jackson. Johnson,
r.nd Ocrfleld; he read all he cculd
serure of good literature; but mar- J
rled young and never attended high I
school nor college. In North Caro-;
linn as everywhere else, poverty is i
a worse stigma than sheep steal
ing or invading the privacy of aj
hen roost; and he felt the blighting
loneliness realized by a "poor rcla-1
ticn."
But realizing his life handicap,
he cave his children good educa
tional advantages. Four years aet>.
j his oldest daughter graduated with
| honors and an eminent daily in
Eastern North Carolina, unsolicit
ed published her valedictory ad
dress. Site lias distinguished her
self as a successful and gifted
teacher Later, her younger sister
graduated with honor*, and this
I year won first prize in a county of

where she was principal. But hon

Medical Authority Investigates
And Describe Rocky
Mount Disease.
Washington — Dr. G. W. McCoy, |
director of the hygienic laboratories
of the house health service said he
had ideht Ificd p.s cerebrospinal fever
"or the disease popularly known
as meningitis or spinal meningitis,”
the malady which fatally attacked
two persons at Rocky Mount, N. C.
A greater prevalence of the.dis
ease than has existed since the
war, he added, has been reported
this winter throughout the country.
Dr. McCoy referred to the cases as
spectacular and unusual, but said
he saw no reason for alarm.
He said the disease Is caused by
an infection of the brain and spi
nal cord by an organism, the min
gococcus, the germ being strictly
a parasite of the human body.
The first epidemic of the disease
was noted in Geneva in 1805. The
next year there was an outbreak of
it in Massachusetts. In New York
In 1904 and 1905, a total of 3,455
persons died, and 6,753 were at
tacked by It. This outbreak was
part of one which spread over the
world in five or six years, then be
came quiescent and did not stir
again until the World war when
there was a general outbreak. Since
the vrar the disease apparently re
mained quiescent again. Dr. McCoy
said, until last fall. "There has
been a widespread increase in prev
alence." Dr. McCoy said, “we do not
view the situation with alarm now
because, in the first place. late
spring and summer arc the least
favorable times tor the spread of
the disease."
Preventive measures. Dr. McCoy
added, include the examination of
patients to determine the identity
I heir sickness, and an effort to iden
tify “carriers."
Carriers, he explained, are per
sons who are affected by the germ
but who do not succumb to It.
“We must frankly admit," he
added, “that once cerebro spinal
meningitis has become epidemic, it
cannot be stamped out. It is not
clear that any of the measures tak
en to prevent the spread of the
disease have either materially In
fluenced the course of epidemics or
prevented its spread."
Predisposing factors, such as over
exertion, depressive mental and
bodily surroundings, and catarrhal
conditions increase the likelihood
of its spread. The average number
of fatalities Is 7a per cent, but in
some epidemics it has been as low
as 20 per cult. A scrum used in
treating cases has reduced the fa
tality to about 25 per rent, Dr. Mc
Coy said.
