Exeter Times, 1903-7-30, Page 2FEES PAID TO BOOTORS EABITLOTTS SUMS Ai/YARDED TO SONE RHYsxcIANP., Reusxon of 87,500 a year, and a Life Annuity of p4.50 to His Sen. It is unfortunate for the fashion- able physician of our day, whose in - Coln° May safely be assessed in five figures, that he did not live under the third instead of the 'seventh Ed- ward, whoa the King's principal surgeon was considered well reward- ed with twenty-five cents a day and an additional eight marks a year, and when Edward M.'s chief apothe- cary was passing rich on twelve cents a day. Even as late as Henry VIII.'s time none but the wealthiest nobles ever tendered a medical fee in gold; and one cannot help wondering what the Court physician of the sixteenth century would have said if he had been told that his successor two hundred years later would be reward- ed for a few week's successful doc- toring of the King by a pension of $7,500 a year for twenty years and a life annuity of $3,250 to his son. This was the substantial fee awarded to Dr. *Willis for giving George M. a new ieese of life; and even a century earlier, when Charles II. was seized with an apopletic fit, and Dr. King, who chanced to be in the Royal bedchamber at the time, promptly produced his lancet and let some of the Royal blood SIOW away, the physician was rewarded for his "dexterity and 'presence of mind" by a promise of a $5,000 fee, which, alas! history says, WAS NEVER PAID. When Josh.ua Ward, the most no- torious quack of his day, was once called in to prescribe for the King, and succeeded in curing the Royal malady, he was rewarded by a vote of the House of Commons and per- raission (which was the only fee he asked) to drive at will in St. James' Park. " • " Louis XIV. was notoriously lavish in the sums he paid his doctor, and or one7occasion when a successful .o.nonration. had saved his life he gave physician and surgeon alike a fee of 75,000 crowns; and when a famous Scottish physician cured the infant son of James I. of a malady he re- ceived the enormous reward, for those days, of $80,000. 'When the Emperor Joseph of Aus- tria was dying, Dr. Quexin, one of the greatest physicians of his day in. Europe, was summoned to the Royal bedside, only, however, to announce to his patient that he was beyond human aid and would be deadwith- in forth -eight hours. For this frank If unwelcome verdict the Emperor ereated Quarin a Baron, tuad order- ed that a life pension of $10,000 should be added to support the dig - „niter. The famous Sir Astley Cooper re- zeived many a princely fee, lane of which of 1,000 guineas, it will be remembered, was flung at him in a nightcap by AN ECCENTRIC PATIENT; so it is little wonder that one year his income reached $105,000. It is Interesting to see from what small beginnings Sir Astley reached this regal revenue; for his first year yielded only five guineas, his second year $130, his third year $320, and It was only after six years of prac- tice that his income reached a mod- est $1,000. But even. Sir Astley Cooper would have gasped at some of the fees of latter-day physicians. Sir Morell kfackeneie actually declined an of - ter of 6,000 guineas for a profession- al trip to America, which would not have takon three weeks of his time; and it is said that Dr. Critchott, the eminent oculist, similarly refused to go to India for a fee of 5,000 gui- neas. A little-known Array doctor is tredited with having received a D00 honorarium honorarium for attending the Nawab of Rampur. during a rheumae tic attack; . and Dr. Keyes, a groat Americau physician, hesitated some tinee before accepting an invitation from one of the Vanderbilt s to ac- company him on a yachting trip to Europe, with -$60,000 at the ond of It. IN HIS NATIVE TONGUE. Prince George's Experience With a Horse. Ten or twelve years ago the pres- ent Prince of Wales visited Lisbon. He was then Prince George, "seeing the woeld' and having all sorts of experiences, - -delightful and absurd. At Lisbon a great review was held in his honor. During the passage of the army Prince George's horse became .unruly, and the crowd, edging nearer, made the an uncomfortable one. The prince spoke to his steed, at first gently and then forcibly, but without avail. Then he gave up, and exclaimed: . you poor brute! 1 suppose you don't understand Englisn, •and can't talk to ,yon in Portuguese.” The horse curveted agahr;:• and the prince was nearly unseated. Then he heard a voice within a yard. of hint say, in perfeet English: "Pardon me; your royal 'highness, but perhaps 1 can be of some assist- ance." . The prince looked round, and saw a youth in the black gown and shov- el -hat of an English college. In his surprise be exclaimed: "And who aro you?" - "I am an Englishman, studying here as the English college, your royal highness, and t thought if you would afloat me to abuse your horse in Portuguese, it might quiet him, a,nd incidentally relieve your royal highness's feelings." They tried the plan, and it Work- ed admirably. The horse, hearing a language he knew, imbibed a few ideas from it, and concluded to pro- fit by them, - Bertie—"X give you my word, my 'dear."

Prom the Sun, Orangeville; Ont. You can always tell anaemic men and women. They are pale, veeale and languid. They have headaches and backaches. They can't eat—or they can't digest what little they do eat. And it all comes from poor blood and unstrung nerves. Banish anaemia, at once by pariching your blood and toning up your nerves with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thous- ands of grateful women. have said that these pills have restored them after all other means tried had fail- ed. Mrs. Josias Mcilroy, of Or- a.ngoville, Ont., was a great sufferer for several years and spent much money looking for a cure. To a reporter of the Sun Mrs. MeIlroy said: "Several years ago my health gave out completely. I was so weak that I could not do my housework. 11 I went upstairs my heart would palpitate violently, and soneetimes I would faint away through weakness. My nerves were unstrung, and I suf- fered much from dizziness. I tried many remedies, bit they did not help me. Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to do so. I am glad I did for the pills soon built no up and made me a well woman. My health remained good until last spring, when I was again taken with weakness. I noW knew by experience the value or Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and at once got a supply. The result was as bene- ficial as before and I can conscien- tiously say the pills have done me untold good. I am grateful for this and hope my experience will benefit some other sufferer." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured more siekljz, nab -faced girls and wo- men than any other medicine ever discovered, for they supply new, rich, red blood and so strengthen every part of the body. They are equally suitable for men, women and chil- dren, and cure not only anaemia, but deCline, consumption, indigestion, rheumatism, St. Vitus' dance, and the special ailments which all wo- men dread. These pills can be had through any druggist, or will be sent post paid at 50c. a box or six box- es for $2.50 by writing direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Look for the full name on every box, so that no worthless substitute may be palmed off on you. MATTERS MATRIMONIAL. - In Denmark a girl of twelve and a boy of fourteen can: marry. In most places the limit for age is eighteen for men and sixteen for wo- men. In Germany a man can only contract marriage before Ms twenty- firet year when he is specially de- clared of age, and this can only be done when he has completed his eighteenth year. In several parts of America it is unlawful for white per- sons to marry black ones. Tho law of France is , specially notable for stipulating about the legal rights of each party, and the relations of. each to the earnings of the other. It is literally true that the man who mar- ries a French woman. becomes by French law liable to be Tailed upon for the support of his wife's near relatives if they are in need. The relations created by a bethrothal in Hungary are expressly declared to give no right to demand the conclu- sion of a marriage. A SHOCK FOR THE DOCTOR. In Norfolk, England, it is custom- ary to speak of attending a funeral as "following" the remains. A young medical man from London, who had taken a practice in Ncirfelk, was sadly nonplussed the other morning on receiving a letter from a diseon-. solate widow announcing the death of her husband, and adding as a postscript: "We all hope you will follow him." THE DANGERS OF CHILDHOOD. Sumnaer is the most deadly sea- son of the year for little ones. The little life hangs by a mere thread; diarrhoea, infant cholera and. other hot weather ailments come quickly and sometimes, in a few hours, ex- tinguilhea bright little life. Every Mother should be in a position to guard against, or cure these troubles and there is no medicfne known to medical science will act so surely, so speedily and so safely as Baby's Own Tablets. A box of the Tablets should be kept in ever§ home where there are little onese and by giving' an oc- casional Tablet hot weather ailments will be prevented, and_your little one. will be kept well and happy. Don't wait until the trouble 'comes—that may be too late. Remember that these ailments can be prevented by keeping tte stomach and bowels right. Mrs. A. Vandervecr, Port Colborne,' Ont., says: "My baby Was cross, restless and had diarrhoea. I. gave -her Baby's Own, Tablets and they helped her almost at once, think the Tablets a splendid medi- cine for children."' The Tablets are guaranteed to cure all the minor ailments of little ones; they contain no opiate or poisonous drug, and can be given safely to a new born babe.

ReinedieS Bleeding from the aoSe may be caused by an injury, such as a vio- lent blow, or sneezing too hard, or snuffing irritating substances up the nostrils, or it may occur as a symp- tom of constitutional disease. In the latter case it may be the result of any one of several causes. In advanced adult life, for instance, it sometixnes means that the person is suffering from Bright's disease or from heart trouble, causing the ves- sels that feed the brain to become overdistended with blood. , t'-lonie people suffer from nosebleed when they climb mountains, or when they 0rst go to live at a much greater altitude than that to which they have been accustomed. In these cases, and in all cases caused by overdistention and pressure, the attack of nosebleed is a direct effort on the part of nature to relieve the system, and is therefore a blessing in disguise. In young people who are making blood very fast—faster than the sys- tem requires—there often occur viol- ent attacks which must be, of course, suitably treated, but need cense no great alarm unless they prove very obstinate to siniphe remedies. This form of nosebleed with disappear as the patient approaches adult life. and the whole systeui finds its balance. Certain diseases, such as scarlet fever, typhoid fever, blood -poisoning and erysipelas, aro often accompani- ed by attacks of nosebleed. These attacks are then only one of the symptoms of a serious disorder, and as, such would naturally be dealt with by the physician in attendance. In the ordinary cases of bleeding from the nose in children or young adults, very simple household reme- dies are generally all that will be needed. It is only when these at- tacks become too frequent, or when enough blood is lost to make the sufferer white and weak, that more energetic measures will be needful. There is an old wives' theory that the dropping of a largo cold door - key down the back will stop nose- bleed. This theory has, as usual, its little germ of truth. If a door -key is the biggest and coldest .thing at hand, it would be well to use it in this way. As the virtue, however, does not lie in the key, but in its coldness, cold water compresses ap- plied to the back of the neck and the forehead would do the work quicker and more scieutifically. If this has no effect, the sufferer should lie down with the nostrils compress- ed and the arms raised above the head. Sometimes plugging the nostrils with absorbent cotton soak- ed in some astringent, such as aluxi or tannic acid, will be found fleece- sary.—Youth's Companion. • TROUBLES OF EX— CHIEF OF POLICE • COULD NOT STAND BEFORE DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. Hr. Charles Gilchrist had Diabetes for Years—Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured Him. Port Trope, Ont., July 20 (Special) —Mr. Charles Gilchrist, Chief of Police here for fifteen years and af- terwards Dominion Fishery Overseer, is always willing to add his testi- mony to the volume of proofs from all parts that Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to cure any form of Kid- ney Disease. `"I am a healthy man. Dodd's Kidney Pills have done the job," is the way Mr. Gilchrist puts It. 'When I first started to take Dodd's Kidney Pills I was in an awful state. I had been a sufferer from Diebetes and Kidney Disorder for ten years. My urine was of a dark bricky color and I would suffer something awful while passing. ' ". "I tried everything and tried the doctors but could get n6 help till I was advised to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have made me a new Man." • .

His "Brothers" Will Not Speak to. -Him While Under a Cloud. King Edward's action in withdraw- inglaie.Minister Pleniootentiary from Belgrade appears to be the subject of widespread misapprehension. It. does not necessarily mean that all intercourse between the Governments of Great Britain and Servia has been sundered, or even. that England de- clines — to recognize the de facto Government at Belgrade, -but that Edward VII., who, by virtue of the constitution, is in supreme control of England's foreign policy; &ea not feel inclined t� maintain with Ser- via's new executive the relations" of friendship that. characterizes hip in- tercourse with other courts until Peter Karageorgevitch has taken some steps to dissociate himself from the assassins of his predecessor and to clear himself of all complicity and connivance in the tragedy. Sir George Bonham, in quitting Belgrade by direction of his sover- eign, did not intrust the care of British interests in Servia to the convoy of some foreign power. as Would have ,been the case had there been a complete ruptere,. but confid- ed their representation to the Hon.

Ote 11-8 solves as forming a species of fro. ternity bound together by "esprit de corps,' and, to put the matter bluntly, King Edward does not feel inclined to treat King Peter as a "brother" until he is assured that lie is innocent of ell °Calm:aim with the peculiarly horrible murder of King Alexander and Queen Draga at Belgrade. In order to discover a precedent for King Edward's action it is nec- essary to recall the attitude of the Russian Government with regard to King Louis Philippe. The latter, it may be remembered, owed his throne to the revolution of 1880 at Paris, in which he was implicated, and which resulted in the overthrow and exile of his cousin and benefac- tor, King Charles X, Amperor Nich- olas L declined either to visit Paris or to accredit an Ambassador to the court of the 'Tuileries, leaving Muscovite interests to be represented officially by a more charge d'aftaires, who treated not with the King but with the Minister of Foreign Affairs while' unofficially Russian views were promoted by the famous Princess Lieven, who was tbo political Iggeria of Guizot, the most influential po- litical adviser of the bourgeois king. PRINCIPLE OF LEGITIMACY. Nicholas I. declared that he could not, without ignoring the principle of legitimacy, which is the Sunda - mental basis of the monare.hicel sys- tem, recognize as a king and a bro- ther sovereign a prince who owed his crown to a revolution. The same Emperor Nicholas at first refused to recognize Napoleon III. as a brother sovereign, taking exception to the revolution and sanguinary coup d'etat, by means of which he had obtained possession of the imperial crown of Franco, while Queen Victoria, availing herself of her constitutional prerogative, dis- missed Lord Palmerston from the office of Secretary of State for For- eign Affairs for having directed the British wmbassador at Paris to re- cognize Louis Napoleon as Emperor without having previously obtained her consent. Nor was it until after the Crimean war and death of Nich- olas I. that the new Czar of Russia could be induced to 'address Napole- on M. as "rnon frere." WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE 'EM. Russia, as well as Prussia declined for many years to recognize either Isabella, as Queen Regent of Spain or Maria della Gloria as sovereign of Portugal, on the ground that they had usurped the legitimate rights of their respettive uncles, the late Don Carlos and the late Dom Miguel, to their thrones; nor was it until after 1870 that Emperor Al- exander II. consented to recognize Victor Emanuel as ICing of Italy, having up tothatdine refused to acknowledge his annexation of the kingdoms of Naples and the two Sicilies, obtained through Garibal- di's insurrection of 43 years ago. In more recent times we find not only the late Emperof of Russia, but likewise the present Czar de- clining to recognize Prince Ferdin- and as ruler of Bulgaria, on the ground that he had violated his plighted word, given to Alexander III. Nor was it until Ferdinand had subfreitted to the most humiliating terms imposed by the court of St. Petersburg, including, among other things, the conyersion of his eldest boy, Boris, from the Roman Catho- lic church to the orthodox rite, that he at length. secured eeeognition by Nicholas II. as 'Prince. of Bulgazia.... 1 814 million pounds of tobacco passed last year through the Cus- tom House for home consumption in the United Kingdom.

If -the pain is very severe after a minute take off the fruit, wash the sting in warm water . and bathe it well in alcohol. Then wet a folded linen rag in either alcohol or vinegar, and bind on the sting. If neither alcohol, vinegar nor fruit of any sort is at hand, try a bruised plantain leaf. Change the application, whatever it is, every ten minutes until the pain subsides. MARX FWAIN'S•GALLANTRY.
