SCIENCE OP MENTAL HEALING. . * ' Remarkable Resulta Have Been At tained by Means of Suggestion. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) For many years, beginning with what was known as magnetic heal ing in France, there has been a grow ing perception and belief that cer tain disorders and diseases of nerv ous origin are best dealt with by processes and methods from which drugs are omitted, and which, sup posedly at first to be of a mysterious nature, have been found to be purely psychical. There has been a great deal of groping and stumbling in the dark before reaching this conclusion, and the results attained have been attributed to various causes. Some have designated them as miracles, others as faith cures, others as the effect of magnetism, or hypnotism, and still others to the power of sug gestion or auto-suggestion. It ls comparatively recently that ttu- subject has been investigated scl ent, flcally and rational theories based on observed facts put forward. Al though tue close connection between 'the mind and the body had long been known, and the power of mental states to affect bodily functios recog nized, the medical profession having always dealt with disease wholly by medicaments, and being unduly con servative, failed for a long time to recognize the value of mental thera peutics and to make it as they should have done a part ot medical science, contributing to the art of healing. Had thy done so at the outset, faith cure*nilnd cure, Eddylsm and Dowle l8m would never have been heard of, us separate cults, for the ground they occupied would have been covered. Everything they have accomplished of value ls traceable to mental sug gestion. Recently this fact, as well as that powerful adjunct that suggestion may be made to the physician, has been recognized and the doctors are using ,'t generally. A London paper re lates the following Incident, Illus trating the power of suggestion: "A remarkable incident happened recently at a London dental hospital. A young woman went there to have five teeth extracted. The anesthetic decided ?pon by the dental surgeon was ethyl chloride, and this was ad ministered by the usual form of ap paratus. An India rubber cap ls placed over the patient's mouth and nostrils and connected with lt ls a bag Into which a sealed capsule of ethyl chloride ls Introduced. By the turning of a ?crew from the outside the capsule ls broken and the anes thetic liberated. Tho screw was turned, tho patient went off gradu ally Into the usual condition of In sensibility, Ave teeth were extracted and the patient, awakened without feeling any part of the operation. The whole case appeared perfectly normal. Only when the young wo man had left the room and the ap paratus waa being made ready for another patient, was. it discovered that the capsule of ethyl chloride had by some mischance not been broken at all. The whole condition of in sensibility had boen brought about by the self-hypnotism of the patient. The Idea that an anesthetic was be ing adminlPtered was so strong in her mind that she had passed into insensibility entirely by hypnotic suggestion."

Most of Stockholders Greenville Peo plo-?lill Forced to WaU. (Greenville Daily Sun, llth.) On Saturday the Huguenot Mills will close down and about two hun dred and fifty men will be thrown out of employment. The reason that the mill ls to shut down ls because of the fact that the company cannot dis pose of the . goods now on hand and lt is lmpoBBible to get funds advanced on them. The panic and the high price ot cotton ar? the main reasons for suspension of work. The proper ty will be sold at a future date, and until then it will cease operation. The mill has been in operation for a number of years and was' very suc cessful until a few months back,when money became tight and lt was forc ed Into the hands of a receiver. The mill ls capitalized at $140,000, $50, preferred stock and $70,000 common stock. The stockholders are scatter ed about the State, but the most of them are Greenville people. When the mill was declared bank rupt some time ago Mr. Buguard, of this cit?, WM appointed receiver and at once took charge of the work. Only a little money was needed to run at the time of bankruptcy, but that wits in the panic and lt was im possible to place the least loan. Un der the direction of Mr. Buguard the mill began to prosper and' gain back some of the losses. The goods which the mill produces Is gingham and there is little demand for them just now, so the court ordered last,Sat urady that lt close down for good. The offices of the company will be open for several weeks in order to w ind up the business. Thc liabilities will not exceed the value of the plant, and there will not be any loss for the stockholders. The Huguenot Mill is one of the oldest in the city and nt first looked like a paying venture for the stock holders, and would be In good con dition now if it were not for the fact that there ls little sale .for the goods manufactured. The property *ab?e of the mill has increased to a great oxtent, it being 'in the business sec tion of the town. , On Saturday tho two hundred and fifty operatives of the company will have to .-eek other employment. Remember that when the stomach nerves fall or weaken, dyspepsia or indigestion must always follow. But strengthen these same weak inside nerves with Dr. Shoop'sNRestoratlve, and then see how quckly health will again return. Weak heart and kid ney nerves can always be strength ened with the Restorative, where heart pains, palpitation or kidney weakness is found. Don't drug the stomach, nor stimulate the heart or kidneys. That is wrong. Go to the cause of these ailments. Strengthen these weak inside nerves with Dr. Snoop's Restorative and get well. A simple, Bingle test will surely tell. _ J. W. Bell.

That our American rorests abound In plants-which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by ?coros of the most eminent medical writers and teachers.

New York Sun's Prognostications as to National Politics. Washington. March 13.-Demo crats have been out of power for so long and the party has met with mich overwhelming defeat in national elec tions of recent years that, ordinarily, it would scorn extremely hazardous to predict a Democratic victory at the coming. Presidential election. But there are in Washington to-day roany of the best posted .politicians ia the country-men who have had long ex perience and who have made a study of conditions-who confidently pre dict the election of Mr. Bryan next ?all over any candidate the Republi cans may nominate at Chicago, and these men are hot enthusiastic Bryan ites, nor of the died-in-the-wool Dem ocrats. Many of them, are old line Republicans, men who have never voted anything but the Republican ricket. It ls an easy matter to find, with out half trying, dozens of politicians of both parties, who unhesitatingly say that President Roosevelt himself would favor Mr. Bryan's election, If Cannon, Fairbanks or some man of that stripe were nominated at Chi cago over his choice, William Howard Taft. And Mr. Roosevelt's advocacy of Taft ls no more serious and deter mined than is the opposition of oth ers prominent In Republican podtles. The New York Sun, antl-a' ulnls trat ion. anll-anythfng-opposcd-tri^ special-interests, in its leading edito rial of Tuesday, -March 3, declared that William Howard Tatt cannot be elected President, even if he is nominated by the Republicans at Chicago, which it doubts. This In teresting statement Is made even more so by the further declaration that "Ither William" J. Bryan or Wil liam R. Hearst,' if nominated by the Democrats at Denver, can carry New York State over any candidate the Republican party may put up. The pa?t inconsistencies of The Sun, together with its well-known pro-corporation, pro-capitalistic pol icy, to say nothing of its bitter an tagonism of President Roosevelt and "his policies," has tended to weaken the,declaration, but the editorial has just the same attracted much atten tion and caused wide-spread com ment among politicians in Washing ton. A mont; oilier things, the editorial says: "If Mr. Taft were to secure tho Republican nomination, a ' contin gency \yhlch has been effectively pro vided against, he -could not be elect ed. The Democratic candidate, whe ther Hearst or Bryan, would win. "Speaking of our own State (New York) we record our conviction," continues the editorial, "that no Re publican candidate, and we particu larly Include Mr. Roosevelt himself, can carry it against Bryan, Hearst, or any other Democrat that may bo placed la nomination at Denver. There are mighty and revolutionary chango?: operating in the political landscape.'1 The editorial offers an opportu nity to discuss, briefly, the chances of Democratic success at the next election. Regardless of The Sun's sincerity, there are in Washington a number of people, supposedly well posted, who share the belief that suc cess will perch upon the standard ol the Democratic party at the nevt election, and they all concede the nomination ot Bryan bfy acclamation at Denver. The Sun Is probably the first to come forward with the claim that the Democrats will carry New York, ant' this statement ls attributed more to dislike for Roosevelt than a genuine conviction. But tho Republican party is in power, and, as a young statesman from Georgia often says, "a panic b uoon the people." Whether thei* be a panic In reality makes little dif ference, tho fact ls that hundn.'df of thousands of men are o;it of work particularly In the more popul?os States, of the East and the Middle West. Tt makes no difference whe ther the Republican party ls respon sible for the bard times, the greal masB of the people believe such tc be the case, and there are many whe have heretofore voted the Republ! can ticket who believe that a change would do thom good and benefit th? country.

My back and ht I took Wino of Cardin* and nov WRITE US A LETTE? ???????MM? more- closely than the Washlngtou correspondents, and it ls surprising to note the growing belief among these mon that Bryan will be elected, regardless ot whom the Republicans nominate. . Some of the oldest and best informed writers in the gallery -Republicans, representing great Republican papers-freely confess that the chuncos of Democratic suc ces look much brighter to-day than do the Republican chances. Every candidate - is optimistic about success, if not genuinely so, apparently so, but no candidate was ever so optimistic AS Mr. Bryan io to-day, or professed to bo when last in Washington. Of course, he tells everybody that he expects the Demo crats to win at the next election, but these utterances are always take? with a grain of salt, because lt 1B his business to make them. However, Mr. Bryan, upon the oc casion of his last visit to Washing ton, conferred at length with his strongest supporter in Congress,and they say his confidence was inspiring. He convinced them, almost against their better judgment, that the Dem ocrats not only have a fighting .hance, but that they will be su'e winners. . Champ Clark, of Missouri, proba My the stanchest Bryan man in Con gress, says he was almost moved to laughter by the optimistic view ex pressed by the Peerless Leader. He says Mi. Bryan ls Just as confident of success as he is that the election will be held on November 4tV. He impressed him as ? man who felt that it was all over but the shouting, and he was anticipating tne dat", ty already shouting in private. ? New Yorkers look upon The SMI'? editorial declaration with varying views, but they all &ttf*Hj that it is quite significant. The concluding paragraph, especially,, has impressed them, and this paragraph predicts that New York State will go Demo cratic. The last sentence, "There are mighty and revolutionary changes operating in the political landscape," ls regarded as a particularly signifi cant hint. "The mighty and revolu tionary changes" are taken to mean a determination in certain quarters to accept Bryan, or Hearst, if need he, in preference to either Roosevelt or Taft.

The latest disclosure among pro hibition drinks is a potash moon shine whiskey which hes been brought to the attention of Atlanta revenue offlcers from Forsyth county This concoction, according to the testimony of several of its victims, contains commercial potash, the kind used for scouring floors, as its most telling Ingredient. The purpose of the potash, say the witnesses, is to make the liquor "bead," pk term which all experienced men will un derstand, and also to make lt "bite." The chief glory of all moonshine whiskey is said to be its capacity for foaming up Into little winking bub bles and for producing a pungent tang as lt trickles down the palate. The particular brand of "bead and bite/* however, that ls being dispen sed at the cross roads and byways of / Forsyth county ia reported to con tain enough potash to stir up a ter rible agony inside the man who swal lows lt. It is said, In fact, to pro duce about the same effect on the lining of a stomach that a house maid's mop would on a kitchen floor. The revenue department will at once begin an investigation.
