Bureau of Vital Statistics.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 12.— The
State Board of Health is about
ready to put into operation its
Bureau of Vital Statistics as
provided under the act. The de
lay has been occasioned by the
printing of the supplies as a vast
amount of blanks and report
i forms will be needed. The pre
liminaries have been under the
direction, largely, of F. L. Wat
kins, of the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics, Washington, D. C. One
of the objects to be attained is
to demonstrate that Arkansas
is not a hot-bed of disease, as
some believe, and to lift the
ban that has been placed upon
twenty-two counties of the
state by the large insurance
companies by proving that they
are as free from disease as any
other state. •
The state has been divided
into G77 registration districts,

Supposed Snake Creates Panic.
Considerable commotion pre
vailed at the home of Max
Meyer on West Matthews aven
ue last night, when what ap
peared to be a rattlesnake was
discovered in the home by Ber
nice, the younger daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Meyer.
She discovered the supposed
to-be reptile as she descended
the staircase leading into the
sitting room. It was lying on the
hearth, She became very
frightened upon making the
discovery and immediately im
parted the news to the negro
woman servant, who upon look
ing at the object declared that
it was a rattlesnake and became
terribly frightened, vowing that
[she would resign her position in
the Meyer household as it was
infested by sna'kes.
Mrs. Meyer heard the commo
tion and appeared on the scene,
iriAU'infl1 Tl’lf li Atll AVC! «■> C! f A
dangerous looking object. She
then went and got possession of
a revolver, but could not sum
up courage enough to shoot, so
Herbert Meyer was sent for. He
came from the Max Meyer Gro
cery as fast as possible, bring
ing with him a large axe handle
with which to cope with the dan
gerous foe. Upon arriving he
discovered to the utter amaze
ment of all that the object,
which had so terrified the fam
ily and servant ,was only an iron
gooseneck, which Mr. Meyer had
unthoughtfully laid on the
hearth, when he came to supper
and had left it there. —Jones

A PHYSICIAN’S DIAGNOSIS Of |
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease;
which Becomes Fata! through |
Neglect and which May Be;
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention.
More than two-thirds of the annual
death rate, physicians claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease,
a prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles. ««***»
‘•To what do you attribute the great j
destructiveness of kidney disease? was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware |
of his true condition, and the rapidity |
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce oi !
prevention’ check the progress of the
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms f^r some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?’
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
h,- tr.rnid liver and a constipated
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine.”
ITS EFFECT OX THE HEART.
“In what way is the heartaffected from
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially aftei
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease.’'
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What, is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that '
answers these requirements completely.!
It is not only a system tonic and regu
lator, but its healing and restorative in- ]
fluence will build up the weakened kid- I
neys and urge them to a better perform- J
ance of their duties. It gives strength !
and tone to the liver, stomach and heart
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected
citizen of Starks, La., says: "I was troubled with
kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. I was in
continual misery until 1 began taking Prickly
Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and 1
am now a strong, healthy and hearty man. 1
give it to my wife and four children and they ar'
in the best of health, too. I feelthat Prickly Ash
Bitters is the best remedy on earth and thai
trarybody should keep a bottle at home.’’
