DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.

eating facts regarding the marriag«
and divorce laws of foreign countries,"
said R. J. Brown, who, reports the In
dianapolis News, recently returned
from a trip abroad, where he made a
- study of the question.
"Breaches of promise are averted in
Hungary by an express declaration of
the civil marriage act (1895) that the
relations created by a betrothal do not
give the right to command the con
clusion of a man tage, Lut if either
party withdraws from an engagement
without Just reasons he or she is
bound to grant compensation to the
extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce
in the English sense does not exist,
but the courts can decree the personal
separation of a married couple with
out dissolving the bonds of matrimony.
"A curious law prevailing in France
provides that, before being married,
children of a family, although over
age, shall seek In respectful and formal
terms the advice of their father and
mother. It makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent of parents is
g$vcn, for the couple can be married a
month after under any circumstances.
This is also the case in the Nether
lands.
“A divorce further entitles the in
nocent party to recover all the pres
ents he or she may have made.
"According to the constitution of the
Netherlands, the civil marriage must
always precede the religious ceremony.
The latter, indeed, is left entirely to
the conscience of the parties concerned.
There is also a law providing that no
man or woman under 30 can marry
without the consent of parents. If the
consent be refused the couple have to
appear before a Judge, who advises
them as he thinks best.
"Many countries have now abolished
all marriage fees. This is the case iu
Norway, while in the Netherlands cer
tain days in the week are set apart
when persons may be married without
Rotklas Bat Burr.
Chicago insists that typhoid germs
cannot live during the 850-mile trip
to St Louis in the drainage canal, but
We know, remarks the St Louis Re- j
pnblio. that any germ native of the
Windy City lr sufficiently lusty to ,
———swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly increase the to reign
typhoid fever business.

THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
Has to Cover an Immense Territory,
and That When the Hoads
Are Worst.
“Of all the men I meet on my
rounds of the state there is none
for whom I have as great respect
as I have for the country doctor,”
said the Southdown drummer
the other day, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. “The city
physician is often a pretty hard
working man if he has much of a
practice, but he knows few of the
trials that the country doctor
faces the year round. The coun
try doctor is the modern mar
tyr, and take it all through he is
the best read and most aggres
sive citizen of his community.
“The country phsieian who is
well established usually has a
practice that covers a territory
of at least a hundred square
miles. There is hardly a week in
the year that he does not have
patients at the extreme opposite
boundary lines of his territory.
I know one old doctor down the
state who drives an average dis
tance of 20 miles a day every day
in the year. Of course there are
days when he does not drive five
miles a day, but there are other
times when he drives 30 or 40
miles a day.
“The worst side of country
practice, these doctors say, is
that the greater part of the sick
ness comes during the worst kind
of weather. When the roads are
good and the weather is fine peo
ple are not so apt to be sick, but
when winter comes on and the
roads are rough or njuddy the
country doctor is the man who
has to be out and going.
“The mud roads of Illinois
have snipped ten years off the
lives of the majority of the doc
tors. One physician told me he
was the first man of his family
name to become gray, and he laid
the blame to exposure.
“The country doctor is not
merely a physician. He is a sort
of family counselor, nurse, spirit
ual and legal adviser. I heard of
a physician down in the southern
I a Bbn' ot vesr-pooK’et Dank and
-loaned money and discounted
notes for nearly every farmer
within the range of his practice.
“Yes, sir, I always take off my
hat to the country doctor wher
ever I meet him.”
THE CAUSE OF LEPROSY.
Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, of Eng
land, Says It Is the Eating of
Decomposing Fish.
The conclusion of Dr. Jonathan
Hutchinson, of England, after a
study of leprosy as it appears in
various parts of the world, is that
the disease is caused wholly by
eating decomposing or imperfect
ly cured fish. The London Times
is inclined to accept Dr. Hutchin
son’s idea. It is held that in all
countries and in all ages leprosy
has been and is still due to the
consumption of “high” fish. The
preference for fish in a tainted
condition is an “acquired taste”
and it is claimed that it prevails
among a sufficient number of peo-!
pie to account for the dreadful dis
ease wherever it exists. Leprosy
was nearly general in England
and on the continent in the six
teenth century, and it is claimed
still prevails in many fishing sta
tions, especialy in Norway, Ice
land and Tracadie. It is repre-l
sented that at these places there
is still a preference for fish in a
tainted condition. It is noted,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that in regions where leprosy was
formerly common, it has disap
peared with the advancement of
agriculture and the discarding of y
fish for food. In India vegetari- 1
ans are free from it, but the fish
eaters are much troubled. Dr. 1
Hansen, of Bergen, discovered !
that persons having leprosy carry j
in their tissue a bacillus resem
tiling that of tuberculosis, and the
disease is thought to be a mod
ification of tuberculosis, caused
by a specific virus developed in de
caying fish. The scientists, espe- ]
dally those whose direction is in
lie medical line, are always mak- •
iug it harder to get along in the J
vorld; but it is probably better to
rive heed to their theories, even if
here may be nothing in them, for
t may happen that a little care in J
he selection of the dried fish we c
at may add a few years to life; Jb

results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify

ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal. , .
