THE GIY AND FESTIVE RED BUG I I worn us Dissertation on Well Known< j^^HPest called dinners'' in Georgia. ^^^HEuitor Constitution:?I have a discovery, that is my ^^^Fruggist made it for me. I have ^HTpt-e:. times, when about on my farm, from eertain ' very certain, too) very B industrious insects 'I think called r ehiggers* or vulgarly, jiggers. Whatever you may call them, they came numerous iu me without calling, and when they came they made me scratch for dear life: they made the days painful and the nights sleepless, t. and it seemed that I was on tire W' nearly all over. The old woodsmen said: ''Rub ; then with salt bacon rind." I rubbed, it was so obnoxious to my cute little boarders that they bored deeper into my cuticle than ever. Some one suggested a salt glow. It could not be harder than the chigger glow, so I gave them salt in allopathic doses rubbed in, or on, by the orthodox osteopath method, as the salt was furnished by a Christian Science lady, that made a pathologicol combination to beat any band of boarders. All animate life seems to need salt, so I kneaded salt into my epidemis freely in fond hope and eager expectation of filling the chiggoes with chloride of sodium so full that they would be satisfied to let me B. Vain hope; they took salt all right it only sharpened their appetites so they took bites of Worden. It was no use to put salt on their tails and their heads were out of sight Coal oil is a tsure cure, volunteered my friend (that is I supposed he was my friend), so I rubbed on and rub Hf bed in kerosene. In the mornm ings I bathed in John D.'s "straw color" 150 degree test, as I thought a gallon of preventive V was worth a hogshead of cure. B^^used so much of it is one rea' f son that Rockefeller is so rich. Bootless effort. Why these voracious chiggoes took coal oil like a consumptive, or Tanner and Currier take Cod Liver Oil, and waxed fat. I?well, I was in despair, also I was infested, very much infested. It was hard for new colonies to find choice, or chaw us either, locations already not preempted by the forerunners (maybe 4,000 runners or borers). Soda is a sure settler for such critters, volunteered an unlicensed practi tioner of the Volunteer State. So I I smeared my surface with soda I "bicarb" in a saturated form or j thin paste well rubbed in. That gave some relief, but not enough, they still bored and burned me. ] / Not being a "scientist," in desperation I hurried to the nearest druggist and called loudly for relief, not "Rada way's Ready Relief"?just any old thing that ^(l^fiaO tried all the standard * prescriptions and found them wanting- Some even seemed to be wanted by the chiggoes. "0, yes." he says, we have it right here. Give them chloroform until they cease to chew, it's a sure cure" (or chewer's cure.) So I bought chloroform and put it on freely. It was a little ? ?+ fivcf hnt in a ffiw min Wctiui ab iuovi uuv ... utes the intolerable burning or itching ceased, and in a few hours the inflammation had largely subsided. I got a fine sleep, and feel so thankful to find relief that I rushed into print to promulgate my (druggist's) prescription for ^ all sufferers who may read it. In short, Worden says chloroform your chiggoes. A Chloroform is an excellent . remedy for severe pains, and ^ ishould be kept in every mediH cine chest. Three to ten drops |k in a little water taken internally Wf ' will give almost instant relief, and is harmless. If not relieved repeat in half an hour. Comment: My father's wellproven treatment for red bugs (is that what you call jiggers?) was stand for five minutes over a' pan of live coals on which aj quantity of tobacco was burning, j S the person, meantime, clothed; only in a "winding sheet." The.' "jigger" flea (Sarcopsylla) is a; very different insect from ti e j "red bug."?Atlanta Constitution. J TO D1$CU$~ PEILAURA. I fi National Conference Held at Columbia Last Week to Investigate New Disease. Columbia, November 0:?The c national conference called to investigate the widespread pre- j valence of pellagra, its origin a and treatment, assembled in t this city yesterday afternoon t for a two-days' session. The at- ^ tendance includes several hundred health officers, asylum representatives, marine hospital f service officers, army surgeons, alienists, neurotic experts and r medical men of prominence from ^ many parts of the country. The conference, for which c preparations have been going J forward over a month, is at- c tractinir widespread attention. Since the Secretary of the Treasury in his annual report last year uttered a warning against the spread of pellagra, many State boards of health have in11 vestigated the disAse and have made alarming reports to the Federal government. The medi- ^ cal view of its origin inclines strongly to the eating of diseased corn. It has existed for * many years, usually diagnosed P under some other name,and it is ( now believed that the great mor- v tality in Andersonville and oth- 9 er Southern prisons during the c war between the States was in large part due to the disease, ? the Confederate government be- M ing unable to furnish the pris- o oners with any other breadstuffs than those made of corn. ( a rprpnt outbreak in Illinois disclosed that many cases ex. ( isted in the State insane asylum in Peoria. X low estimate of the ( cases in the United States is now 5,000. The South has par- t ticularly suffered and 676 of the known cases are reported from South Carolina alone, though it is probable there is no more in ^ I this State than in others, South Carolina physicians having sim- j ply learned more about the diagnoses of the affection than the doctors of other States. * At the opening session of the conference Friday atternoon,fol- " lowing an address of welcome by Governor Ansel, a number of instructive papers wer?r present^ ' Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure c np hladitar frnnhlp ' Ull> uaoc U1 ttlUUfcJ VI V that is not beyond the reach of medi- * cine.

Ten Doctors Said He Would Die "In 1903 we wrote you regarding ray husband, who was suffering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North Georgian Conference. Ten doctors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Restorative Nervine; we^did as advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that I ought ? f .1 J to let you icnow 01 tne wonuer! ful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga. This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a ' bottle from your druggist and i take it according to directions. ! It does not matter whether your 1 heart is merely weak, or you I have organic trouble, if it does ! not benefit you take the empty 1 bottle to your druggist and get | your money back.
