Wilfred G.

Before a representative gather- nit; of prominent men Doctor Fralick demonstrated his method' of using the medicine upon two pa- tients, both sufferers from tuber culosis. Making an incision in the arms of the patients, the surgeon it. fused sixteen ounces of the liquid iu the veins of each, describing each successive step and then not iug the graduated effects upon the subject. Tnis is declared to be the first tune that infusion has been prac ticed. Heretofore the treatment has been either internal or by injection. For several years the doctor, who confines his practice strictly to surgery, continued his experi ments, using various elements, singly and in combination. About a year ago he formed a combina tion which answered all his re quirements. "There is no known disease germ which this fluid will not almost instantly destroy," Doctor Fralick declared to-night. "I have tested its effect upon many cultures of widely varying bacilli and without a single exception the fluid proved efficacious "Furthermore, and of eminlk ereat important, while the work- of antagonizing disease germs goes on the fluid acts also as a curative assent. Through ifs npimlim- nmn. erties it enriches and increases the, blood qualifies and thereby pre- eludes the possibility of new bac teriological life, since this cannot exist under normal conditions." While its effect upon the germ of tuberculosis is engaging the im mediate attention of Doctor Fralick and his associates, the fluid has demonstrated its efficaciousness with regard to bacteria of other diseases. In fact, Dr. Fraliuk de- c'ares that the germ of yellow fev er seems even more susceptible than does the tuberculin organism. Young America. Tommy: "Say, Jimmie, what is classical music!"

Butchers to Enorce Sunday Law. NewYork, Aug. 31. The but chers of New York are determined that the new State law prohibiting the sale or delivery of meats on iMinday shall be enforced. To this end an army of 2,700 men, all op posed to Sunday labor and all eager to aid in carrying out the provis ions of the law, will patrol the city to-morrow. It will be the largest army ever organized in any city for such a purpose, and will be under the direction of the Bench- man's Association of Retail Bnt- c,iers representing 36,000 men emP,oyed in butcher shops in this cit'- The butchers came to the conclusion that the most effective ,nenns the' conh adoot t0 compel th stoppage of the sale and deliv ery or meat on the day they believ ed belonged to themselves for rest and recreation was to create a sort of vigilance committee of their own. The citv has been divid ed into districts and captains ap pointed iu each. E SURE that 'your blood is rich and oure. The best blood nurificr. enricher and vitalizer is Hood's Sarsa parilla.

The rocks which the great At lantic tollers had for centnries been slowly breaking 'down and piercingwith great caverns con tain in their depths masses of iron pyrites and alum, and when at last the water penetrated to these, rapid oxidation took placej which produced a heat fierce enough to set the whole cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks burnt like a regular volcano, and great clouds of smoke and vapor rose high in the air. . When at last the fire died out, great masses of lava and clay.burnt to brick, were seen in every direct ion. Unique Monthly. AJfew Artificial leather.
