PLUCK, PROGRESS, PERSEVERANCE AND PATRIOTISM IN POLITICS.
CRESCO, HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE 2 1899.
The State Line Old Settlers' Assoc
iation will hold the annual meeting in
Le Roy, Minn.. June 10.1N)). The an
imal address will be delivered by Rev.
O. II. Holmes, of Cresco, la. A cor
dial invitation is extended to both old
and young to meet with us on til's our
IS annual meet ing. We want to make
this the best meeting in the history of
the association. Let no one miss "the
address. The meeting will be called
to order promptly at 10 o'clock a. in.
J. M. Wykoff, W. E. llaskins.
Secretary. President.
One of our correspondents writes us
that items were not sent last week be
cause of being informed that Cresco
was quarantined, no one allowed to go
in or out, trains were not permitted to
stop here and no mail matter received
or sent out. How's that for monu
mental lying.—Ciwco Timw.
All right, and the 7'imcx in its issue
yesterday gives encouragement and
sanction to the falsehood in its small
pox items. There are but two doctors
in Cresco who will say there is or has
been a case of small pox in the city,
and they are simply mistaken.
What About Dr. Schrader?
People through the country ask us
about Dr. .Schrader of the state board
of health who came to Cresco to in
vestigate the small pox scare, on the
invitation of the Cresco bond of health.
All that need be said of him ii, that
like many of the captains and colonels
in the public service, lie owes his po
sition to "political pulls," and not to
his capacity, iitiiess or qualifications
for the office he holds on the board of
health of the state.
At Cornell college. Mt. Vernon, he
reported small pox at the college
brought by two girls who had been
home to care for :i brother who had
died of the disease, and that from two
to live hundred Students had been ex
posed After-the report in all its de
tails had made the rounds of the press
and brought fear and sorrow to the
homes of the students, not one case of
small pox occurred among them and
no case has been in Vt. Vernon. If
summoned for Asiatic cholera, dysen
tery or cholera morbus will till the bill
if for small pox. the itch or any erup
tion or pimples tills the bill, this is the
unenviable record of Dr. Schrader.
How She Learned About It
"1 recommend Hood,s Sarsaparilla
as one of the test of remedies. There
is nothing to compare with it for child
ren suffering from scrofula or any
blood disease or stomach trouble. It
tones up the whole system. 1 tirst
learned of its merits by taking it for
bad blood." Mrs. E. W. HAHII, Co
burg, Iowa,
Hood's Pills cure nausea, sick head
ache, biliousness, indigestion, consti
pation.

No Small Pox in Cresco
I)r. M. C. Keith was in Cresco Tues
day, and in company with l)r. II. C.
Price, visited the severest cases of
what the State Hoard of Health term
ed "typical small pox." and says that
the malady is not small pox, lacking
every distinctive feature of that dis
ease. The offensive and unmistakable
odor of that disease is lacking. There
is no pus under the pustule and no
pit or depression of the skin under the
scab when it come off, and the scab
instead of cleaning off in from eight, to
ten days as in small pox, maybe found
remaining on those tirst afflicted some
two or more months ago, and lastly
that had it been smallpox starting
nearly three months ago without be
ing quarantined at all to within the
past three weeks, those atllicted being
at large on the streets and in all
public places, sickness and deaths
from it among the poor and the tilthy
would have been frequent whereas
not one has occurred. It is no flattery
to say that Dr. Keith as a plivsician
ranks full head and shoulders above
any physician on the state board of
health and has seen and treated
hundreds of smallpox cases_Jn the
cities and knows what they are and
what he is talking about-.
lie is undoubtedly a "crank" and
its a pity that our physicians were not
sufficiently that way to know chicken
pox from small pox. To his credit Dr.
Price and others of our physicians
have all along said it was not small
Needed More Room.
The increasing business of Fred
Woelstein demanded more room for its
transactions to meet which lie extend
ed the room on the east side of his
store nearly doubling the capacity and
putting his harness shop and goods in
to the room hitherto used for his store.
He has not only added to his room but
has added largely to iiis stock in trade
in all lines and is prepared to give sat
isfaction as to quality, but at prices
that seem to suit the people and draw
their patronage. He is prepared for
all his old customers and as many new
ones as may favor liiui with their trade
which lie solicits.
What Vaccination Is.
When Witnesses (vaccinating doc
tors) before English Royal Vaccination
Commission were asked "What is vac
cination?" they all said they did not
know. For over 100 years the doctors
have been trying to answer this impor
tant vuestion, and as they have so dis
mally failed I suggest the following:
"Vaccination is the inoculation of a
healthy person with the putrid pus,
from a festering sore, of a syphilitic
nature, on a diseased animal. That is
to say, with matter in a state of retro
grade metamorphosis."

Small pox has a period of invasion of
nine to fifteen days, after which the
eruption conies out, in a healthv per
son in "three" days. We would like to
iislc the medical gentlemen who have
declared the city of Cresco infected
with small pox whether an eruption of
small pox pustules can remain on the
face for three weeks? This has been
the condition in nearly all the cases
and we know it to our personal know
ledge. Small pox comes out practic
ally at once and if our small pox ex
perts can give any medical authority
when the eruptions are 21 davs incom
ing out, we will say the Cresco cases
are genuine small pox. Tliiscondition
of eruption, however, is one of the
chacteristics of chicken pox, remaining
sometimes eruptive for months while
small pox has a definite time of conval
escence. These pustules are tilled with
a rotten, stinking pus, in small pox.
while the pustules in these cases have
tilled with a watery serum common to
chicken pox. llow about this, vou
small pox experts? After pustulesap
pear, it takes them three tosevendavs
to till with pus. and when the scab
conies off or the pustules open there
is always a depression in the sic in-pop
ularly called a pit. We are positively
informed that there lui.i never been a pit
but they have healed smooth as incas
es of chicken pox. Don't take our
word for it. but look for yourself at
some of the people who have been af
flicted with this so-called small pox
and are now well. Will our small pox
doctors explain this point? There isa
distinctive smell to small pox com
mencing with the formation of the
pustules and continuing till the full
time of convalescence is over. We are
reliably informed by the niosteniineut.
medical authorities that this smell has
been entirely lacking.
After tile depression of the pustules

On the liith of .June, 1876, he was
vaccinated by the official vaccinator.
Eight days later his feet began to
swell, abscesses formed, his teeth be
gan to rot. his glands to swell. Fis
tulous sores appeared on his hands
and feet. He could neither walk nor
stand several of the bones of his hands
had rotted out.

spirit of liberty, not yet dead in
Switzerland, which led that freedom
loving people to reject on a referen

poisoning, ycleped vaccination, which
a medical clique was seeking to impose

When will the good sense, parental
affection and love of liberty of Ameri

There are. thousands of such cases in
