By John Harvey Kellogg
No disease affords the regular drug physician so large a revenue as dyspepsia. If he can keep constantly on his roll of patients a few wealthy, chronic dyspeptics, his financial success is secured. The venders of the multitudinous quack nostrums with which the drug shops are filled, also reap a golden harvest from this class of customers. The same physician will treat a confirmed dyspeptic for many years, always curing him, and finally curing him to death. Drugs never cure dyspepsia. They mitigate symtoms, they stupefy the nerves and so allay pain, they change the seat of local disease, they create new diseases. The fundamental error in the plan of treatment usually followed in treating this disease consists in the fact that the local symptoms, or manifestations of the constitutional disease are treated, instead of the general conditions. As the result of this unphilosophical procedure, the disease is chased about from one part of the body to another until the system no longer possesses power to react against the medicines with which the poor patient is dosed, and nature finally succumbs—the patient dies; but he never dies of dyspepsia! His disease is invariably attributed to the last local difficulty with which he happened to be suffering when the vital machinery ceased to run. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT.
As may be judged from the foregoing, no success can be attained in the treatment of the disease under consideration by merely attending to local difficulties and ailments. The patient must be treated and not his disease. Palliative measures may be resorted to as means of mitigating unpleasant or distressing symptoms; but no permanent good can be obtained from any other course of treatment than that which aims at an improvement of the general health. The most important principle to be borne constantly in mind is that the same measures which will prevent indigestion are, in general, the very most efficient means of restoring to health a person suffering from this disease. Then the first thing to be done by the dyspeptic in seeking health is to correct all of his habits which are not in strict accordance with the requirements of hygiene. As valuable auxiliaries to facilitate recovery, various remedial agents of a special character may be employed in addition to general preventive and curative agents. Some of these are adapted to home use, while others can be well administered only at a properly equipped institution especially devoted to the treatment of disease. Thus, the various and potent resources of hydropathy are among the most available sources of relief to the dyspeptic patient. Swedish movements, electricity, sun-baths, frictions with the dry hand or towel, and such other similar appliances as nature can use in healing work, are of great utility. Since no two sufferers from the diseases of indigestion exhibit precisely the same condition, it is impossible to lay down a fixed plan of treatment which shall be applicable to all cases. We can give only the general indications. The treatment must be adapted to the particular case of each patient. We would advise all who are in doubt with reference to the exact course to pursue, to obtain the assistance of a home prescription from some competent hygienic physician. As a general thing, dyspeptics need very little bathing. One or two general baths a week to keep the skin in a healthy, vigorous condition, and to promote cleanliness, is all that can be advantageously administered in most cases. Those who are troubled with habitually cold feet will find a daily alternate hot and cold foot-bath of advantage. Cold bathing should not be practiced. When great pain in the stomach is felt after eating, arising from the souring of undigested food, a warm water emetic will give relief in case it cannot be otherwise obtained. The water should be lukewarm, and should be drank in moderate quantities at intervals of a few minutes until from one to three pints have been swallowed. Vomiting may often be induced by tickling the throat with the finger or a feather, if the water is insufficient to occasion it. Acute stomach pains may often be relieved by hot fomentations over the stomach, followed by a cool compress or hand-rubbing with cool water. The wet-girdle has been much recommended as a remedy in dyspepsia, and it doubtless is an excellent appliance for temporary employment; but the habit of wearing it continually until an ulcerated or inflamed surface is produced cannot be too much condemned. Occasional sitz-baths, accompanied with rubbing of the abdomen while in the bath, are excellent for torpid bowels. Enemas may be occasionally resorted to in cases of obstinate constipation, but their continued employment is productive of much injury, resulting in weakness and consequent increased torpidity of the bowels. Other measures must be made the main reliance to relieve costiveness of long standing. In bathing it is important to observe the following precautions:— 1. Never bathe when exhausted or within three hours after eating, unless the bath be confined to a very small portion of the body. 2. Never bathe when cooling off after profuse sweating, as reaction will often be deficient. 3. Always wet the head before taking any form of bath to prevent determination of blood to the head. 4. If the bath be a warm one, always conclude it with an application of water which is a few degrees cooler than the bodily temperature. RELIGIOUS NEWS AND NOTES.
—The colored Baptists of Kentucky have decided to establish a normal theological school at Louisville, and an agent has been appointed to raise $25,000 for that purpose. —One of the directors of the swindling bank of Glasgow, who is now in prison for falsifying the records and reports, was so very pious that he would not read the Monday morning papers because work was done on them on Sunday! —The German clergy resolutely oppose any concession being made by the Pope to Germany. They await, says the Rome correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, an explanation of the German Government's ecclesiastical policy before pledging themselves to accord the slightest concession. —The Lord Bishop of Tuam, Ireland, in a recent address to his clergy, declared that Ritualism in that diocese was known only to them by report. The clergy of the province being in constant conflict with the genuine article, are not likely to be caught by the attractions of counterfeit popery. —Dissenters in Russia number over 15,000,000. The Stundists, who have the same relation to the Greek Church that the Methodists do to the Church of England, are increasing so rapidly that the Minister of Public Worship has dispatched a commission to Odessa to inquire into the circumstances attending the growth of that and other heterodox sects. —In 1780, when Continental money was in circulation, a pastor in the village of Long Meadow, Mass., had a salary of $22,500 a year, while the sexton got $2,000. —Jewish religious papers have been publishing reports of cruelties perpetrated by Bulgarian peasants, some of which are almost too much for belief. One story is that the president of the synagogue in Kasanlyk having been killed, his blood was caught in a bowl and mixed with the blood of a number of dogs. This liquor the Jews of the town, who were driven together with thrusts and blows, were forced to drink; and it is said that only the arrival of a body of Russian troops saved them from death. —Maynooth College, at Maynooth, about fifteen miles north-west of Dublin, was almost entirely destroyed by fire on the 1st instant. All the valuable books were saved. The college was founded during the ministry of Mr. Pitt, in 1795, by an act of the Irish Parliament, in order, it is stated, that Irish priests might be educated at home, and saved from the revolutionary influences which then pervaded Western Europe. It received an annual grant from Parliament until 1870, when it was liberated from State control by the payment of the lump sum of about $1,800,000. There were usually 500 students and 20 senior scholars at the college. —Though Roman Catholicism is the State religion of Brazil, all other faiths are tolerated, yet in building their places of worship the "heretics" must not give them "the exterior form of temples." Religious persecution is expressly forbidden, still the clergy exercise an enormous influence throughout the empire. Their pay is poor, and their dependence on the State so abject, that the sacred office does not attract to it the highest talent, or even morals. The priests are for the most part very ignorant, and consider religion and morals best advanced by parading through the streets tawdry dressed images of saints, followed by a straggling procession of devotees, lay and ecclesiastical. —The Pacific Methodist confesses itself "humiliated" by "such ugly-looking statistics" as those of the Methodist churches in California for the ecclesiastical year 1877–8, according to which there is "a seeming decrease of membership all around," and asks, "What can account for this poverty of results? There have been some revivals," it says. "The ministry as a body have labored with their customary zeal and diligence, there has been no plague or pestilence to decimate our population, no exodus to foreign lands, and yet the late California Conference of the M. E. Church reported a net loss of 792 probationers with an addition to the members in full standing of 75. . . . A tremendous waste of money and effort, and the Lord's work languishing." —Labor riots are threatened in Glasgow. —There was an earthquake shock at Little Rock, Arkansas, November 18. —A valuable underground water channel has been discovered in Tulare county, which is thought to be of inestimable value. —Very cold weather throughout Great Britain, with heavy snow, hail, and rain, has seriously delayed agricultural operations. —A dispatch from Berlin says: Russia is making great efforts to obtain an extension of the term of occupation of Turkey, but all the powers oppose it. —The annual losses by fire in the United States aggregate $100,000,000, and the opinion has been expressed that they add materially to the hard times. —The committee on suffrage in the California constitutional convention have decided to report a section authorizing the legislature to pass a law allowing women to vote. —The Post Master General has discontinued the post office in Spring Garden, Alabama, because the citizens made threats against a special agent for having the postmaster arrested for fraud. —The San Francisco stock market has suffered one of the greatest collapses which was ever known. The rich bonanzas of Nevada have gone down to very low figures. Of course many fortunes have vanished in a day. —Dr. Cuyler has been traveling, and now he says there are over 8,000 drinking saloons in full blast in San Francisco, with its population of 302,000. Two thousand more than New York has within its population of over 1,000,000. —The field army of the Ameer of Afghanistan is believed to number 50,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and 200 guns, including a battery of Armstrong guns. —A telegram from Berlin reports a belief current there that a plot exists for the assassination of all sovereigns. The Prussian judges when examining Nobiling's case were led to believe in the existence of a central organization for this purpose, and investigations are still going on. —Several letters from members of the International Society have been found at Passavante's abode. And more Internationalists have consequently been arrested. The king of Italy had, previous to the attempt on his life, received two letters intimating that it would be made. —The great silver mines of Nevada are reported as being unproductive. It is not positively known whether they are failing in paying rock, or whether it is another run on the stock market. There has been more money made (and lost) by manipulators of the stocks than was ever made from the mines. —Appalling distress and destitution exist among the mechanics and laborers of Sheffield, in consequence of business depression. Hundreds exist in tenements without clothing or furniture, all being sold or pawned to procure food. They are without fuel and dependent upon the charity of neighbors. The mayor has called a public meeting to devise measures of relief. —It is reported from Los Angeles, November 19, that an immense tidal wave, six feet beyond the ordinary tide movement, has swept the whole coast of Southern California, badly damaging the wharves at Cayucos, Point Sal, and Avila, and destroying much property exposed for shipment. So far but one life is reported lost. A great earthquake has probably occurred in South America or in the South Pacific ocean. —November 18, Norwich, England, was inundated by a freshet in the river Wensum, the consequence of a fortnight's steady rain. The two most densely populated districts were several feet under water. The basements of all factories, warehouses, granaries and dwellings along the river were flooded. One or two deaths by drowning are reported. Four or five miles of streets were submerged and from 3,000 to 4,000 dwellings made uninhabitable. The authorities are maintaining the homeless poor. —One of the happiest effects of the refunding of the national debt at a lower rate of interest, is that the bonds are becoming widely distributed among the masses of the people. In 1862, in each $10,000,000 of bonds issued, there were only 7,930 bonds in $50s and $100s. In 1865 the number was 7,880. In 1878 the number is 24,930, or more than three times the former ratio. It is estimated that in a short time over 2,000,000 of persons or families will be owners of the United States bonds. This grows chiefly out of the insecurity of savings banks and other institutions. The small depositors of the former have become owners of "governments" of the smaller denominations. Official figures also show that the average holding of shares in the national banks is very small—in many cases being less than twenty shares, and running down to five and less. In some of them, one-third to one-half of the stock-holders are women, dependent for subsistence upon their earnings. —The new Anti-Socialism Bill introduced into the German Reichstag will, if it becomes a law, convert Germany into a despotism pure and simple. Printers, booksellers, and hotel-keepers may be prevented from carrying on their respective trades; and the central authorities may, it also appears, with the sanction of the Federal Council, issue orders to the effect that, for the space of a year, meetings shall only be held with an authorization from the police. This is a mere sample of what the bill provides. It may already be predicted that Socialism, instead of being suppressed by these rigorous measures, will only take deeper root. The great source of socialism is the misery of the mass of the people; and in Germany that misery has been intensified by the huge incubus of a military government, which not only impoverishes the State but crushes the individual workman. Until Germany reduces its military establishment, she will never get rid of socialism. During the Franco-German war the sympathies of the country went out mainly toward Germany; but there is very little in such despotic measures to awaken the sympathy of this country, but everything to arouse pronounced antagonism and indignation. Effect of Gas Products on Cotton Goods.
By Editor
The poisonous character of the products of the combustion of illuminating gas is now coming to be well understood; but new evils arising from this source are constantly coming to light. The latest discovery in this line was made by Dr. Wm. Wallace, Gas Examiner and Public Analyst of Glasgow. Sulphuric acid, he said was found in considerable quantity in the goods after being some time exposed, while the same articles in the fresh condition were quite free from that acid. In some cases the cotton fiber itself was renderd so tender as to be perfectly useless. The same thing had been observed in the warehouses in several large towns in England, such as Leeds, Manchester, etc. The remedy which was recommended by Dr. Wallace was the thorough ventilation of the warehouses, so as to insure that the sulphurous and sulphuric acids generated by the burning of the gas might have a sufficiently free escape into the atmosphere. He exhibited a number of specimens of the goods which he had examined after they had been sent back by the London merchants to the manufacturers as damaged. Both in color and in strength they were seen to have suffered detriment by exposure to gaseous fumes. Gases so corrosive as to destroy cotton fabrics must certainly be anything but wholesome for the delicate textures of the lungs. The burning of common illuminating gas must be looked upon as one of the greatest causes of consumption in cities. Unless some remedy is found, it would be decidedly better to go back to the old fashioned tallow "dip" than to go on inhaling the sulphurous fumes resulting from the combustion of ordinary gas. The only remedy for this evil with which we are at present acquainted is gasoline gas, manufactured by machines for the purpose. This kind of gas is not only wholly free from deleterious properties, but is much cheaper than coal gas. On account of its healthfulness, it has been introduced into the Sanitarium of this place.—Health Reformer, Battle Creek, Mich. The Angel Peter.
By B. A. Stephens
SAID a Spiritual lecturer recently: "The modern word angel is from the Greek aggelos and only signifies a news-carrier. It means one who has been a human being, not one created higher than man. You know Peter was in jail. An angel let him out. Angels I have told you are only men. And then Peter went down to John Mark's house, and knocked. Rhoda went to the door, and recognized him, but the rest said it was the angel Peter, for they thought he was dead, and his immortal spirit was appearing to them in its materialized form." How false this last statement is, may be seen by reading Acts 12 : 15, "Then said they, It is his angel." Not the angel Peter, but Peter's angel. There is quite a difference between Peter and his angel. Says Paul, "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" Heb. 1 : 13, 14. Peter's angel was indeed a ministering spirit, sent forth from the throne of God to minister unto him. This guardian angel was not Peter's spirit. Says Jesus, "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Matt. 18 : 10. Then while the children of God are on earth their angels always behold the face of their heavenly Father. That at death man becomes an angel and beholds the face of God is far from truth. Man will never be an angel, but at the resurrection will be equal unto the angels. "Neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God; being the children of the resurrection." Luke 20 : 36. The word angel indeed means a messenger. Judges 2 : 1, margin. But this does not militate against the fact that the term refers and is applied to intelligences created higher than man and possessing different natures. That they are such is plain from several passages of scripture. "What is man that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels." Ps. 8 : 4, 5. Christ "took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham." "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same." Heb. 2 : 16, 14. These angels are not dead people for they existed before people were created. At earth's creation, "the sons (Septuagint, angels) of God shouted for joy." Job. 38 : 7. These, then, were the cherubs that guarded the gates of paradise, after man's expulsion, and before any had ever died. Gen. 3 : 24. Cherubs are material beings. "And their whole body, [margin, Heb. flesh], and their backs, and their hands, and their wings," etc. They were created long before man, are a higher order of intelligences, different in nature from man, and are material beings possessing bodies of flesh, and are not the spirits of the dead. Heaven is their home, and they are messengers employed to do God's bidding. "Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word." Ps. 103 : 20. What a privilege to have one of these mighty intelligences sent down from heaven to minister unto us, and to realize that "the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." Ps. 34 : 7. Another much abused text is Rev. 22 : 9. This lecturer misquoted it, as others have before, "I am one of thy brethren the prophets." It reads, "I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets." Says a correspondent of the Bible Banner, "The word sundulos, fellowservant, is understood twice, being followed by two genitives to which it belongs." Then the angel was simply John's fellowservant, and a fellowservant of John's brethren the prophets, not a spirit of a prophet. When will men cease to pervert the word of the Lord, and become candid in their search for truth? Certainly never, as long as they seek unto familiar spirits, not of the dead, but of devils, the chief of these fallen angels being the father of lies. B. A. STEPHENS. ENGLAND, by ordering the advance of her Indian troops upon the Afghan frontier yesterday, practically declared war upon that nation. The Ameer's contemptuous treatment of the formal demands of England for an explanation of recent occurrences is the immediate cause of the movement, although there are numerous others underlying, chief among them the intrigues of Russia. Afghanistan would be a contemptible enemy for Great Britain, but the Ameer is undoubtedly confirmed in the stand he has taken by the conviction that he will receive the active co-operation and support of Russia. In such an event it is easy to see that the war might become one of the greatest struggles of modern times, as the probabilities are strongly in favor of all of the leading European powers taking some part in the conflict, neutrality being almost out of the question. Our dispatches this morning indicate a sense of uneasiness on the part of the British. Their tenor indicates that the war is not one of England's seeking, but that it is forced upon her by the consciousness that a betrayal of weakness at this juncture might prove fatal to her Eastern aspirations and probably lay the foundation for destroying her supremacy in India. Russia has long betrayed a disposition to dispute with England the acquisition of Asiatic territory. The two nations have helped themselves liberally in that region, gobbling up every square mile of land that had not a ruler with the ability or strength to take care of it. Their possessions there are now nearly as important as those in Europe, and naturally each one views with distrust every move made by the other which even remotely jeopardizes them. Russia's intrigues with the Ameer have proved sufficient to awaken all of this distrust, and hence the present complication. One of the conspicuous features of the trouble is the fact that Beaconsfield, who but a few weeks ago was celebrated throughout England as the most remarkable of modern diplomats, is likely to have his laurels torn off. His course in the Berlin Congress was generally imagined to be masterly, and he was conceded to be its leading spirit. John Bull, at its termination, rejoiced wildly over the apparent cowing of Russia by Beaconsfield, but this abjectness is now seen to have been only a surface matter; for while Englishmen were congratulating themselves on their Premier's diplomacy, the Russian diplomats were quietly laying their plans for a campaign in Afghanistan which may possibly end in a war, the result of which may be the wresting from England of the better part of her Asiatic dominions. Even if the result should not prove so serious as this for England, there is the strongest reason to believe that Russia will enlarge her foot-hold in Asia so that her British rival can never successfully contest supremacy with her. —San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 21. The late president of the American Association for the advancement of science went far out of his way in asserting that “science leaves no room or ground for the influence of a will upon the sequence of mundane events.” How does Prof. Newcomb know that? Is there not mental as well as physical science, and does not one take cognizance of phenomena, quite as much as the other? and will the physical scientist prescribe the limits of mental science? “Science,” said the great scientist, Prof. Henry, “is the knowledge of the laws of phenomena, whether they relate to mind or matter.” Prof. Newcomb would do well to revise his utterances, for how does he or how does science know what is and what may be back of law? Did passionless matter create itself, or did it never have creation? How came it to be what it is, then? Do its laws exist ex necessitate rei? Whence came consciousness and will and design? To attempt to solve these problems by a stroke of the pen is to turn back the current of Niagara by an edict. The sacred writer finds a knowledge that is too vast for him, and he adds, “I cannot attain to it.” There is knowledge beyond the apprehension of scientists and theologians; we all stand confronted by mystery, and all that the most enlightened can do is to wait in silence and be humble.—Christian at Work. Tobacco and the Dying Saint
A CHICAGO writer tells of a woman who would not call the minister of her church to her death-bed. "Every time during her illness that he who was her pastor entered the room to bring the consolations of the blessed Gospel of love, peace, and purity, there came also with him the strong and unmistakable fumes of tobacco. To whisper into her dying ear the words of Jesus, the Saviour, on the breath of tobacco was more than the dying saint could complacently bear. The words might reach the ear, but so would the breath the nostrils." Bible Study and Prophecy
By Binney
A PERUSAL of the most noted Bible Dictionaries, Concordances, and Commentaries, if used in due subordination, are extremely useful to obtain an acquaintance with the truths of the Bible. The argument for the truth of Christianity, derived from prophecy, and its accomplishment, is one of the most striking that can be employed in its defense. Prophecy is a miracle of knowledge, a declaration of something future, beyond the power of human sagacity to calculate.—Binney. A Terrible Tropical Storm.
A MEXICAN exchange gives an account of a fearful storm which swept over the rancho of Jesus Maria and vicinity, State of Coahuilla, on the 10th of last month. About five o’clock in the afternoon the clouds commenced to lower and soon the heavens became black as night. A torrent of rain, accompanied by the most fearful storm and lightning, fell with terrible fury. The torrent continued for an hour with unabated force, when a shower of hailstones fell, some of which were nearly as large as oranges. During the time the mountains seemed to shake from their foundation, and the earth appeared to tremble as if stricken by an earthquake. The next day’s investigation showed that disastrous ravages had occurred. The vacqueros found whole herds of cattle beaten to death by the hailstones, and flocks of sheep were decimated. The bodies of dead coyotes and other wild animals were found down the valleys, evidently having fled from the mountains through fright. Crops suffered greatly, and in one instance the hail literally covered an immense field. A number of human lives were lost. The storm was the most destructive and frightful ever known in the State.
