USE OF HER US REMEDIAL AGENT

Is One of the Oldest Known Remedies In Treatment o£ Disease —Scientific Knowledge

Necessary.

"The use of water as a remedial agent in the treatment of disease, antedates that of any other remedy known to science. All drugs of the pharmacopeia in use to-day, and most of our therapeutic methods, are very modern as compared to this ancient remedy." These were the opening remarks of Evangelist H. M. Keliey, in a lecture on Scientific Hydrotherapy, at the Evangelical and Medical Gospel tent a few evenings ago. Speaking further of the use of water, he said: "While the most airdent enthusiast in hydrotherapy does not claim that water is- a panacea for all the ills to which the flesh is heir, nevertheless, a close study of its many effects and reactions upon the human organism must impress one that it more nearly approaches a sovereign remedy than does any other therapeutic agent.

For hundreds of years water was used empirically and too often was principally in the hands of the laity. Because of the unskillful use of this powerful agent, and the disastrous results that frequently followed its application, much odium was brought upon its use in the treatment of diseases. "In order to be able to use water scientifically, it is absolutely necessary to have a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Especially is it important to know the anatomy of the nervous and circulatory systems and of the skin. The fifteen to seventeen square feet of skin that covers the average adult is a highly sentinent organ, intimately related to the central nervous system through the millions of nerve endings represented among its epithelial cells. It is principally through this sensitive organ that the hydriatist produces the desired physiological action in the cure of disease. The skin is to him what the cords are to the harpist. It is one vast reflex area, in which are represented every organ and gland and muscle."

Among the important and interesting subjects to be presented at the tent this week are:

Wednesday night, "The Home of the Saved, or Where is Heaven?" Thursday night, "Scientific Hydrotherapy."

Friday night, "Angels: Who Are They and What is Their Work?" Saturday night, "Spiritualism: Its Source and Character."

Sunday night, "Cartoons of the Heavenly Artist."

ALFALFA PATCH IS REGULAR GOLQ MINE

Milo Goodpasture Has Two Acres Which Is Making a Remarkable Record This Year.

Milo Goodpasture, of Jackson township, gave a representative of this paper an account of his experience with alfalfa growing, this week. Last year, he cut four crops. He has two acres. He cut the second crop this season, this week. It was sold for $50. He cut more than four tons the first crop this year, and put all of it up in his mow, except one load, which he sold for $12. This with what he sold of the second crop, makes $62 in cash he has for the alfalfa, in addition to the hay he kept. He expects to get two more crops. If they are &s good as the first two, the alfalfa hay taken off of the ground in one season would be worth close to $200. From the above showing, it is veryclear that it is a very valuable crop.
