Hepatitis, according to Dr.
Andrew Weil, is now the most common of all
serious contagious diseases. It is spread through
blood-to-blood contact in many ways one would not
normally think of as being risky. The obvious,
sharing needles, but sharing personal items such
as manicure tools, razors, or toothbrushes. Just
think about tattooing and body piercing,
including have ones ears pierced. It has been
suggested that it may soon take more lives than
AIDS.
The liver is the organ which is
most effected by hepatitis. The famous Naomi Judd
used herbs for treating her disease. She spoke at
a health food industry show and sang the praises
of milk thistle. The active ingredient in milk
thistle, sylimarin, has been used to treat
conditions of the liver. It has been used
extensively in England in the successful
treatment of liver disorders including mushroom
poisoning.
Dr. Weil has these suggestions
for those who may have contracted hepatitis
virus:
a. Very low protein, low fat
diet. Avoid taking amino acid supplements.
b. Take a potent antioxidant
formula and include selenium.
c. Avoid drugs and alcohol and
tobacco. Check carefully with the pharmacist went
taking prescriptions.
d. Drink plenty of water and
take steam baths or saunas to sweat so you can
release toxins.
e. Get plenty of rest.
f. Avoid exposure to chemical
fumes and vapors.

Art Notes from Hyde House
By Sally Armstrong, Director of artCentral
I am expecting a great Opening
for the first show of 2008! I thank all those who
are planning to come, and for those who read this
after it has happened, to you who were with us.
This is a most unusual presentation of
photography, as it is a sequential group of 19
pieces that tell a story, and yet each one in
itself is for sale and stands alone in beauty.
The group of photographs in the Member Gallery
represent five additional "theme
groups" not connected with the show
downstairs, so there is a lot of variation. Linda
Teeter may be with us during part of the opening
weekend hours Saturday and Sunday to lead
visitors in her "journey" or guests can
lead themselves by reading the descriptive dialog
between the art. As I write this, I have mailed
out 136 mailings to former members of artCentral
as well as potential members, and if you got one
of these mailings I hope you will consider
filling it out and returning it to us. A
membership with artCentral is another way to
support your community and provide another area
of activity to you or your family. Your children
can take advantage of the kid’s artCamp and
the art library of 225 volumes is available to
all ages of the family! Let us hear from you if
you are interested in a membership and did not
receive a mailing. I am also busy contacting
various members of the business community to help
us this year as underwriters of one of the 7
shows, and have had good response thus far. The
generosity of Southwest Missouri Bank, Leggett
& Platt has already been acknowledged and we
look forward to thanking others at a later time.
If you would be willing to be an underwriter,
please call me for more information. Please
remember that the current exhibition, GALACTIC
WAR, by Joplin artist Linda Teeter will be
displayed until February 24th and we look forward
to seeing you during the regular gallery hours,
Thursday through Sunday from noon until 5:00. We
are at 1110 E. 13th Street in Carthage.
Letter To The Editor
Opinions expressed are those of
the writer and not necessarily those of the
Mornin’ Mail.
I found a dozen or so
informative stories concerning my family Boggess,
Flora and Gray viewing your site all day and into
last night.
It cleared one of three
lingering questions concerning my maternal
grandparents, Dr W W Flora (1871KS – 1922CO)
family’s left Carthage for Colorado, (June
25, 1902), where nineteen years later, my father,
Luke J Boggess (1899MO – 1974MO) while on
vacation with his family (S C Boggess, 1874WV
– 1946MO) following his graduation from
Dartmouth College met and married my mother,
Frances Elizabeth Flora (1898MO – 1928MO) 21
Aug 1921.
Both grandfathers, Flora and
Boggess, were very much involved with the Y M C A
while alive.
The above little Carl Gray
during WW II became Major General Carl Raymond
Gray, JR (1889KS – 1955MN), serving Harry
Truman as "Administrator of Veterans
Affairs" found in "Who’s Who in
America", Volumes 27 & 29 along with
brother Dr Howard Kramer Gray (1901MO –
1955MN) who played football at Princeton on 1922
"The Team of Destiny"’ ---operated
on Jimmie Roosevelt in 1938.
Their mother, sister of Dr W W
Flora, Harriette Amanda (Flora) Gray (1869KS
– 1956ME) was first white child born in
Montgomery county, Kansas, later to become Golden
Rule’s "American Mother of
1937"’ married Carl Raymond Gray
(1867AR – 1939DC) Dec 1886 in Oswego,
Kansas, he s/o college professors Col Oliver
Crosby (1832ME – 1905AR) and Virginia
LaFayette (Davis) Gray (1834ME – 1886AR) of
then, Arkansas Industrial University four page
spread of their fiftieth wedding anniversary
party of 1,400 people in Omaha, Nebraska.
Grays deeded easterly portion
of their Fayetteville’s, west Dickson street
property to Frisco for its tracks and now
historic station, with first train in 1881. Carl
paid the station agent $5/mo to learn telegraphy
then at age 15 (20 March 1883) went to work for
Frisco RR, spending 28 years with them, --- 1890
to 1898 in Carthage, MO, -- later becoming
vice-chairman of Union Pacific RR, found on page
479, Vol 1 of "Who was Who in America"
and was a Trustee of his father’s alma
mater, Colby College.
Thank you very much for your
interest in history and making such available to
the public.
-Bill Boggess, raised in
Carthage, 1928 to 1942.
