DOCTOR IN TROUBLE
OPERATION BY CHINfcSE PHYSI-
CIAN NOT A SUCCESS.
Fagerness to Rival His European Con-
freres Almost Brought Grave Disas-
ter—Authorities Thought Him Unfit
for Liberty.
A report received from Dr. Ernest
G. Vanderburgh, a medical missionary
at Siangtan, Hunan, China, affords an
interesting comparison of Chinese and
American surgiqal methods. Dr. Van-
derburgh has charge of two dispensa-
ries and a hospital maintained by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at the Chinese city named. The
dispensaries are in different parts of
the city, and as the doctor was leaving
one to go to the other he was called
to come quickly and help a Chinese
doctor.
“This Chinese doctor,” writes Dr.
Vanderburgh, “had heard of the opera
tions performed in the Presbyterian
hospital and he thought that he must
do some operations to make his nam«
great, and not let the foreign devi;
doctor get all his patients away frorr
him. So when a big strapping fellow
of about 21 years came along anc
wanted him to remove a tumor frorr
his knee the doctor looked it over
sharpened his knife and cut well intc
the supposed tumor. Then the pool
doctor’s troubles began. He couldn't
stop the blood, got scared and sent
for me. As it happened I was near by,
When I came near enough to see the
patient he wa<-. -itting on a bench,
held up by some friends and two
Chinese doctors were using raw silk
and powder trying to stop the blood.
“I told them to put the man in a
chair and carry him to the hospital,
at the same time sending for Mr.
I.oeke to give the chloroform. We
operated, sewed him up and soon saw
him safe in bed and doing well.
“In the meantime word came that
the poor Chinese doctor had been put
in prison. We all thought that that
was hard, and I sent over my card and
asked that he be released, now that
that man operated upon was out of
danger. The official sent back word
that a man like that should not be at
large, but that he would send him out
pf prison with a soldier to watch him.
So he was watched for two or three
days. They now tell me that if the
man had died the Chinese doctor might
have been .erely punished or even
killed for it.”
Time to Go.
Some time ago there lived a gentle-
man of indolent habits who spent his
time visiting among his friends. After
wearing out his welcome in his own
neighborhood, he thought he would
visit an old Quaker friend some twen-
ty miles distant. On his arrival he
was cordially received by the Quaker,
who, thinking the visitor had taken
much pains to come so far to see him,
treated him with a great deal of atten-
tion and politeness for several days.
As the visitor showed no signs of
leaving, the Quaker became uneasy,
but bore it with patience until the
eighth day, when he said to him:
“My friend, I am afraid thee will
never come again.”
“Oh, yes I shall,” said the visitor, “I
have enjoyed my visit very much, and
shall certainly come again.”
“But,” said the Quaker, “if thee will
never leave how can thee come
again?”
Moreover, the Dog.
Commissioner Richard B. Aulcroftt
of the Board of Education tells the fol-
lowing:
An old colored man in Hudson had
a dog which he called "Moreover.”
“Where did you get that name” in-
quired Mr. Aldcroftt.
“Out’n de Bible, Suh.”
"But there’s no such name in the
Bible.”
"There sutinly is, Suh. When Laz-
arus lay at de rich man’s gate. More-
over, de dog, cam° an' lick hl$ sores.”

“I hear you have a little sister at
your house,” said a Leavenworth gro-
cer to a small boy.
“Yes, sir,” said Johnny.
"Do you like that?” was asked.
“I wish it was a boy,” said Johnny,
“so he could play base ball with me.”
“Well,” said the grocer, “why don’t
you exchange your sister for a broth-
er?”
Johnny reflected for a-minute, then
said, rather sorrowfully:
“We can’t now; it’s too late. We've
used her four days.”—Leavenworth

Medicines Have Stood Test of Time.
“The leading proprietary medicines
that have stood the test of time are
of known therapeutic value,” says a
medical authority. “They are prepar-
ed in laboratories of the highest
grade, under the care of skilled phar-
macists, and they are made from ap-
proved formulae which, in many in-
stances, have been the especial pride
and specific of some successful physi-
cian. They have been tried in the
crucible of r“blic opinion and they
have been found satisfactory by the
people, for otherwise the people would
discontinue using them.”
Heraus Mit 'lm
A disheveled, desperate looking man
burst through the guards of the great
financier and penetrated the sacred
precincts of the glass ofl’ce.
“I carry my life in my hand,” he
panted, “and—”
“But I never buy autobiographies,”
said the financier, coldly, as he turned
and resumed the sale of coppers.
It was the third crank that morn-
ing to be shoveled out.
Another Meanest Man
A well-to-do Chicago real estate
Dwner went into a hardware store in
that city and asked the proprietor for
a pound of nails. The small pack-
age was made up end the price, a
nickel, handed to the merchant, when
the customer asked if the purchase
could be sent out to his house, which
was in a distant part of the city. The
merchant assented, and, calling an
errand hoy, handed him the parcel,
with the nickel he had just received
for it ,and said:
“Here. Johnny, take the car, and
take this package out to Mr. Blank’s
house.”
“Wliat!” said the customer, “are
you going to give the boy the nickel
to take the parcel out?”
“Why, certainly,” said tne merchant.
“I wouldn’t think of asking him to
walk so far.”
“Well,” said the meanest man in
Chicago, “if ycu would just as soon
give me the fiive cents, I will take it
out myself.”

"Coffee gave me terrible spells of
indigestion which, coming on every
week Ox- so, made my life wretched
until some one told me that the coffee
I drank was to blame. That seemed
nonsense, but I noticed these attacks
used to come on shortly after eating
and were accompanied by such ex-
cruciating pains in the pit'of the
stomach that I could only find re-
lief by loosening my clothing and
lying down.
“If circumstances made it impos-
sible for me to lie down I spent hours
in great misery.
“I refused to really believe it was
the coffee until finally I thought a
trial would at least do no harm, so I
quit coffee in 1901 and began on Pos-
tum. My troubles left entirely and
convinced me of the cause.
“Postum brought no discomfort, nor
did indigestion follow its use. I have
had no return :f the trouble since I
began to drink Postum. It has built
me up, restored my health and given
me a new interest in life. It cer-
tainly is a joy to be well again.”
