Itohlng If there is one thing more than anothe1 which gratifies us, it is the great volume of hearty thanks which come from g1atefu1 parents for the cures Hood’s Sar'sapa1illa has effected upon their children. The agony of despair turns to unspeakable joy as mothers and fathers see dreadful sores and eruptions gradually yield to the potent purifying power of this gieat medicine, and blight boys and girls given pe1fect health.

Persons Living Who Have Been Deprived ' of Their “‘indpipes —leos flawed by Some Wonderful Oper- atlons. ~Provided that you can employ a skill- ful surgeon, you may have six inches of your jugular vein removed and live for years afterward without feeling the loss at all, says the New York World. A few persons have been thus distin- guished and their lives have been saved as a consequence. The operation is exceedingly difficult and delicate. To the lay mind it seems impossible, but we are fast learning that the modern great surgeon does not include this word in his} vocabulary. The jugular vein has had more glory than any other ‘blood vessel. The most ignorant person knows its location and that to cut it means certain death. “I’ll hit him on the jugular,” is a com- mon expression among prize-fighters and toughs. When a man gets hit on a jugular he usually goes down and be- comes speechless for a. minute or two, but the jugular is no more responsible .for that than the big toe. There is a little shining cord—a nerve—just back of the jugular which controls speech and respiration. When a forceful blow is struck in the region of the jugular this nerve is paralyzed and what is technically known as a knockout re- sults. The jugular is nearly an inch in diam- eter, and it will be readily understood how easily one can bleed to death if it is suddenly opened. It lies directly un- derneath the great muscle on the side of the neck which shows upso promi- nently in an athlete when he turns his head. Except in a very fleshy person, a cut of half an inch in depth will readily reach it. The removal ofa piece of the jugular is justifiable in case of a large abscess, tumor, or growth of any kind on the neck or of inflammation of ‘the walls of the vein :11.ch the tissue about it. The latter is very rare. Unlike the removal of the vermiform appendix,- the removal of the jugular will heifer become a “fad.” Seldom, indeed, is there any need of it. There are a great number of nerves in the region of the jugular. To cut one of them is serious. For instance, the nerve already 'mentioned, which lies next to the vein, controls the func- tions of speech and respiration. These nerves intersect each other like rivers, ....;,\'n._:._ _ ; map. To cut out a piece of the jugular is somewhat like putting your pencil down on this map when you are blind- folded without touchinga river, a high- way, or a railroad. But the surgeon knows the exact location of each little shining nerve, each- little vein, from long study, and his scalpel -is sharp and his touch is sure. The flesh and tissue are cut away and the vein is lifted up clear of both, look- ing like a full hose when the water is turned on, while all the time the great muscle is held apart by forked steel hooks something like sugar tongs. A pair of clamps, shaped like blunt scissors, with rough surfaces, is fast- ened just above the point where the upper cut is to be made. Suddenly the tube collapses, just as the hose does when the water is turned off, for the output of blood from the brain has been shut off. A second pair of clamps is fastened just below where the cut is to be made. N ext two strips of catgut or of fine silk are tied tightly around just above the upper pair of clamps and 'just below the lower pair, and all that is left to do is to cut out the interven— ing piece. The whole operation is per- formed by the skillful hands of two '01' three surgeons more quickly than it is told. In three months’ time, the catgut or the silk will have been assimilated into the system, a blood clot will have formed at the inlet of the vein at the base of the head, and what was once the walls of the vein will have become a useless tube, v. hich will also be gradually assimilated, while tissue will form in its place. But how doesthe impure blood from the brain now find its way back to be purified? is the question that is natural- ly asked. Just here is where nature asserts her versatility, adaptability and resourcefulness. She makes the jugular on the other side of the neck and the 117.“..‘191'0118 small veins do the work, and they do it so satisfactorily that the pati..;1t never knows the differ- ence. The first operation for the removal of the jugular was performed in India by an English surgeon. a Dr. Smith, on an East Indian, who had such a bad tumor on his neck that death was certain. To cut down and take out a piece of the famous old vein was simply a rash ex- periment in which Dr. Smith himself had very little confidence. As soon as the news of its success was distributed through the medical world the vein im- mediately lost some of its great prestige, and the tumor of the neck much of its horror. You may be sure that Dr. Smith did not tell the Indian what he was about to do. or the poor fellow would have probably died of fright on the spot, for the ignorant natives of ‘India regard the jugular as the seat of all life. But the prestige of the jugular has received even a greater blow. A few weeks ago in a case of inflammation of both sides of the neck and the result- ing disease of the walls of both jugulars and the tissue around them, of a pa- tient' in a British hospital, another rash experiment was attempted —— the re- moval of both jugulars. It succeeded. The patient is upon his feet again and lively as he ever was, and to be slashed in the jugular has now no terrors for him. In his instance it is shown, of course, that the smaller veins will so en- large their capacity that they can do the work of both jugulars—something that has even made the wizards of surgery rub their eyes and wonder. ‘ own resources. highways and railroads on a very small- T H E. EV EN 51" N G. TO our RICH QUICKLY. Some $0.1m! Advice for Young Men Going Into Business. Among the answers received by the Boston Globe recently to the question .“What is the quickest way to get rich?” was the following from Hon. Elijah A. Morse, M. C., of Massachusetts. “ ‘What is the quickest way to get rich?’ I understand your inquiry to ’ come from a young person in the morn- ing of life, just starting out for himself in the world, and dependent upon his The first requisite- Of success. is to establish a reputation for integrity and good character. And these qualifications must be supple- mented by ability, industry and perse- verance in overcoming untoward obsta- cles and untoward circumstances. And as a rule in this favored land of. ours these qualifications carry in their hand the prestige of victory and success. “Many young persons enter life with a fear that they will not be appreciated. They couldn’t make a greater mistake. I tell you, young man, they will size you up about right, and you will pass for about what you are. I said in ad- dressing the pupils of the Roxbury Latin school a. few days since that I didn’t underestimate the fact that it was a good thing to be born well; but if I am addressing persons of humble birth and untoward circumstances, if you have the qualities I have mentioned as essential to success, you can rise above the circumstances of your birth. "Do you want illustrations? Abra- ham Lincoln was a rail splitter, An- drew Johnson was a Kentucky tailor, Henry Wilson was a Natick cobler, James A. Garfield drove a horse on a towpath, Nathaniel P. Banks was a bobbin boy in a factory. “Do you want similar illustrations in business life of men who have risen from poverty to affluence? George W. Childs was a newsboy 0n the street when young, George Peabody was a store boy, Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, was a poor me- chanic in Cambridge, and died worth millions, and what is of more conse‘ quence, he died acknowledged in every land and climc a benefactor of his race; Singer, the inventor of the lockstitch, was a poor mechanic in Bridgeport, and while working on his invention he only allowed himself one meal a day and four hours a night sleep; John Roach, who as a shipbuilder and master me- chanic, rose to stand on the highest pinnacle of worldly honor and fame, came 'to this country a ragged, bare- footed, homeless, friendless Irish boy. “I have seen young men who thought they could play Jekyll and Hyde, and ride in the smoking car and drink some, and swear some, and go to questionable places, and the people wouldn’t know it. Young man, you are mistaken; read the questions that the Boston banks ask about a young man who is seeking a situation. Young man, young woman. a good character, yes, and a clean religious life, good habits, no drink, no tobacco, no cigarettes, are the foundation stones for success in business. “My son, with all thy getting, get understanding, getwisdom (Heavenly wisdom), the merchandise whereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than pure gold. “Finally and lastly, in this favored land of ours, above all others, is it true ‘that there is no royal road to learning (and wealth), and that honor and shame from no condition rise.’ Young man, young woman, set your mark high, enter upon its pursuits at once, persevere.” TALE OF A STRANGE MAN. Ho and Ills Wife and Children Revered by‘ All the Neighbors. He was a most remarkable man. Everyone admitted that. His neigh- bors looked at him with admiration as he passed them on the street, says the Chicago Times-Herald. “There goes Bowers,” one of them would say in a tone that showed the respect in which he was held. “Wonderful man,” another would add. “I never knew his equal.” His wife, too was regarded in the same light. She seemed to be con- sidered almost a. curiosity. People heard of her and marveled at the stor- ies told. “No such case was ever heard of be- fore,” they said. “And with two chil- dren, too. It is hardly credible.” The fame of the couple traveled and they became known and revered in other neighborhoods. They were used as beautiful examples of what it was possible to do. They were treated as if they were superior beings, who alone had solved a problem that had persist~ ently worried the wisest men of the nineteenth century. And why? Because they lived, with their chil- dren, in a top flat and still held the friendship of the people in the flat im- mediately below them. PHOTOGRAPHING A WINK.
