Crofters In Scotch Highlands, Lack-
ing Medical Attendance, Put Faith
in Some Odd Superstitions-
AMERICANS EASY TO IDENTIFY
Strange "cures" which are still ap- t
p’lod In remote parts of the High- |
lands of Scotland, where it may tas?e j
days to secure a doctor, are mention-
ed In the report of a treasury com- !
niitfe appointed to consider means of ‘
obtaining a more satisfactory medical
service.
A witness from the remote island
cf Rona, Skye, described In Gaelic a
"cure" for epilepsy recently practiced.
A black cock was buried alive be-
neath the spot where the patient had
the first attack.
He also described the successful
treatment of a woman suffering from
king's evil, i. e., bone or gland tuber-
culosis. by a seventh son, to whom she
had gone all the way to the Island of
Scalpay, Harris.
Dr. Tolmie, of South Harris, de-
scribed the case of a man suffering
from keratitis (inflammation of the
cornea of the eye), who drove nine
miles and walked another six to an
old lady at Licisto. The old lady
made up some rhyme, mixed some
grasses with water and sand, and then
sang. The man came back and said
he was a little better.
A man who had a carbuncle on the
back of his neck which did not heal,
got a seventh son to come to his
house every night for a long time to
put water on the carbuncle and a six-
pence round the patient’s neck.
A case is quoted of a patient at
Papa Stour who had to wait eighteen
days for a doctor from Portree. The
crofters are so poor than in many
parishes the doctors do not earn more
than £50 to £70 a year, while in
one case it could not be more than
£ <0.
In the parish of Uig there is only
one doctor for 4,750 people, living In
townships that are scattered over an
area of ISO square miles, still largely
roadless and very much cut up by in-
lets of the sea. In the County of
i Iverness 29 per cent of deaths are
uncertified.
The committee recommended the
constitution of special local authori-
ties to develop and correlate existing
medical services, and the erection ol
cottage hospitals. The committee
suggests that at certain centers the
doctors should receive an annual sub-
sidy to enable them to attend distant
patients at low fees.
Marks Caused by Collisions With the
Deadly Rocker Put Nationality
Beyond Dispute.
"Scars on the ankles identify as
American those found dead abroad,”
said a coroner's physician. “Yes, our
ankle scars identify us over there as
infallibly as our gold teeth.
'^ou see, we are the only people
whose ankles get scarred by banging
into the sharp points of rockers in
the dark.
"Four-legged chairs don't hurt in the
dark in this way. Bang Into them a
dozen times a night, and they merely
impart a slightly bruise to the knee.
“But a bedroom rocker, when you
go prowling in your bare feet about a
<oal black bedroom, is more danger-
ous than a man-trap. How- many times,
in the dead blackness of the night,
iiave you been impaled by the ankles
or nearly impaled by the ankles—
on the sharp, upstanding points of a
bedroom rocker? Just look at your
ankles when you undress this evening.
You may not be aware of It, but I'll
guarantee you'll find on each ankle
five or six scars, the marks of ter-
rible, midnight collisions with the
deadly rocker.
“And that’s how it is that they iden-
tify Americans abroad by the rocking
chair scars which criss-cross the bony,
stiff ankles of the male and the round
and supple ankles of the female Amer-
ican.”

“Well, my boy,” said the visitor to

David R. Forgan of Chicago w-as
telling the sons of the members of
the Chicago Association of Commerce
at their banquet of the changes
which he had observed in bis boy-
hood home in Scotland when hfe last
visited his native land.
"I visited the kirk where I used to
go with my parents every Sunday for
worship,” said Mr. Forgan. "It had
undergone many changes. It had been
transformed into a carpenter shop.
There was a new- floor in it of tim-
ber. When I went to church there,
the only floor we had was mother
earth, but we sang in those days at
the top of our voices, ‘Thank God
from whom ail blessings flow.’
“This humble kirk is now displaced
by a magnificent temple. 1 went to
service there and sank back in the
luxurious cushions of a pew while a
$3,000 a year quartet sang ‘Art Thou
Weary, Art Thou Languid?'"

GOOD NATURED AGAIN
Good Humor Returns With Change to

Middletown, Pa.— "I had headache,
backache and such awful bearing down
pains that I could not be on my feet
times and I had organic inflammation so
badly that I was not able to do my work.
I could not get a good meal for my hus-
band and one child. My neighbors said
they thought my suffering was terrible.
“ My husband got tired of seeing me
Buffer and one night went to the drug
i store and got me a bottle of Lydia E.
Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound and
told me I must take it I can’t tell you
all I suffered and I can’t tell you all that
your medicine has done for me. I was
greatly benefited from the first and it
has made me a well woman. I can do
all my housework and even helped some
of my friends as well. I think it is a
wonderful help to all suffering women.
I have got several to take it after see-
ing what it has done for me.”—Mrs.
Emma Espensiiade, 219 East Main St.,
I Middletown, Pa.
The Pinkham record is a proud and hon-
orable one. It is a record of constant
victory over the obstinate ills of woman
—ills that deal out despair. It is an es-
tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has restored
health to thousands of such suffering
Women. Why don’t you try it if you
need such a medicine?

The shade boldly strode through the
portal and addressed St. Peter.
“I,” he said, "am a vaudeville head-
liner. I made an international repu-
tation as a singer of popular songs.
On earth I was some guy. I presume
my accommodations here will be in
keeping with my reputation?”
“Certainly,” agreed St. Peter,
have you in my book under the title
He Walked Right in and Turned
Vround and Walked Right Oui

“For many years I was a constant
sufferer from indigestion and nervous-
ness, amounting almost to prostra-
tion,” writes a Montana man.
“My blood was Impoverished, the
vision was blurred and weak, with j
moving spots before my eyes. This was j
a steady dally condition. I grew ill- !
tempered, and eventually got so nerv-
ous I could not keep my books post-
ed, nor handle accounts satisfactorily.
I can't describe my sufferings.
“Nothing I ate agreed with me, till
one day I happened to notice Grape-
Nuts in a grocery store, and bought
a package out of curiosity to know
what it was.
“I liked the food from the very
first, eating it with cream, and now I
buy it by the case and use it daily.
I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was
supplying brain and nerve force as
nothing in the drug line ever had
done or could do.
"It wasn’t long before I was re-
stored to health, comfort and happi-
ness.
"Through the use of Grape-Nuts food
my digestion has been restored, my
nerves are steady once more, my eye- f
sight is good again, my mental faculties j
are clear and acute, and I have become
so good-natured that my friends are
truly astonished at the change. I feel
younger and better than I have for 20 j
years. No amount of money would
induce me to surrender what I have
gained through the use of Grape-Nuts
food." Name given by Postuni Co.,
