CURE FOR PHTHISIS.

“ASEPTOLIN” SAID TO BE A .CERTAIN REMEDY. r A*. IC4*oii Discover* a Beneficent Form of Carbolic Acid-It Kills Germs, tout Does Not Harm the Human Tis* -nwea. . - -to Sacooragiag Number pf Recoveries. , Jftr... OA r ut_^twn a ex-conim7ssionerof health for the city and county of New | York, announces that he has discovered s remedy for consumption. Already, he declares, many victims of the dread dwvmo have been cu rod' "by ft. In the last issue of the Medical Record, under the caption “A Rational Treatment for PhthisisPuhnonalis, Together With Some Notes on a New Remedial SoluI tton,” the doctor gives a description of his discovery. The name of the new remedy is “Aseptolin.” It is a beneftcient Corm of the ordinarily dangerous carbolic «.-id and is injected under' the skin, by .which operation it finds its way into the blood and to the seat of disease. Upon authority of Prof. Henry A. Mott, asepkolinls composed as follows: (Water .97.2411 per cent Phenol . 2.7401 percent. flMocaipiu-phenyi-hydrox- , ide .... . O.lSSpercent 1 In order to understand Dr. Edson’s discovery it is necessary to remember that Pasteur and Koch discovered and established the fact that germ diseases had as their ultimate cause the presence in the body of minute organisms, called germs, . «nicnobc« -aud tlie like. It was not long before these germs were cultivated, as it Having these cultivated colonies, scientific men made many experiments. They (found disinfectants would kill tiicse girms. They found, for example, that if a mixture of one part .phenol dr carbolic acid to three-thousand i>arts of water were floated over<a’ colony of and left

DR. CYRUS EDSON.

there far twenty-four hours all' these gp-rtns died. It naturally occurred to (them that if carbolic acid would kill germs -•utslde the body it would kill them inside. •nd the conclusion that if they could kill •II the genus in the body they could destroy the cause of the disease and thus wure the latter was apparent. The ex*eritueat was promptly tried. The result iwas some of those in whom these injections were put developed abscesses at the point of injection. .Far more, however, •Kero poisoned by the acid and the idea Jiad to be given up. It was too fascinating, though. Declat of Paris made a Wiixture of one part of the acid to one kmttdredof water and. putting in a little •ait, continued the injections, getting from tbe*n a larger percentage of cures. Aseptolin Is Produced. Dr. Edson had his attentioif directed this subject in the eariy part of 1895. •nd after a long and tedious experiment produced a fluid which he called aseptoEn. It is perfectly colorless, looks like crystal. and ahiells strongly of carbolic acid. •It contains 2.75 j #er cent of carbolic acid, •nd to every ounce of it there is added euejuuidredth of a grain of a new salt discovered by Ur. Edson during his work a salt ealied piioearpin.-piienyl-hydrox-toe.. The aseptolin is injected under .the •kin and tbus direvtly intothe blood. The dose is 100 minims, or drops, injected with • hypodermic syringe once in twentydour hours. Now, what happens after the injection? If rhe Total amount of blood in the person be remembered.it will be seen that • fter the injection the blood becomes a liquid, having one part of carbolic acid to from 1,200 to 1.500 parts of blood. In •they words, it is a liquid from 2 to 2 1 -, times as strong with the acid as was the •no -to 3.000 solution which killed the cultivated germs. The circulation of the * i<hhl ?UP lips carbolic Mh-tfeh Jto •very part of the body many times in an tour. Wherever there is disease and the germs which cause it that spot is being continually washed with this carbolic solution, in which no germ can live more •han five hours. Tuberculosis—consumption—ls a germ disease, being caused by what are called tubercle flbcilti. Dr. Edson discovered aseptolin In September, 1805. “To date, according to the doctor’s statement. 217 persons having consumption have been treated- with it. Of these, four showed no improvement, •nd of the four one died. The rest, 213. •bowed improvement. Of these, twenty-', •three have been discharged cured, sixty•even will, in the opinion of the physlwiana haring the cases, be discharged •cured, making ninety in all.

SLAIN BY DYNAMITE.

Explosion Loya Part of Johannesburg in Ruins. An explosion of dynamite has occurred at Viondendorp and the poor quarter of Joh a n nesburg. -'blown to pieces. The wnijdows of every • house lutohw city were broken-by ths force of the concussion. The scene of Uhe explosion is the old town amFis fortunately at a distance from the main business and retotom c portion of the dry. It was inhabited largely by Kaffirs, the dwellings being of an inferior order for the most part. The explosion caused much eycitMnent at first because of the recent disturbances in the Transvaal and the fear thaf It might have been due to a political coup. There-Wa-stolmrefore a general turning out of the guard s to see that-no violence followed the wreck. The cause was soon learned and the excitement subsided in a measure. It rose again when the fearful nature of the catastrophe became known. The portion cf the city demolished was thickly populated, although there were comparatively few whites who lived there. The dynamite which caused the catastrophe tilled eight trucks, which were being shunted. The explosion caused an idimense’hole thirty feet deep. Every house within- a radius of half a mile of the explosion was-t’azed to the ground. Forty dead, nearly all terribly mutilated, have been taken from ruins. Two hundred of the most severely injured were admitted to the hospital, where several died.

THE BROWN SNOW.

Chief of the Weather Bureau Explains the Phenomenon. Amateur inicroreb’pfsts wiped the dust from their lenses and proceeded to study the- snow J which spread a slate-colored mantle over the Northwest Tuesday night. After long gazing and much figuring various opinions were reached. Each opinion had a public following until Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, sen! a dispatch, from 'Washington presenting bisTricw of what spoiled the snow. Then the audiences of the amateur observers grew smaller. Prof. Moore said: * ‘‘ T h ebl a ;■!;snow tha t has f all enl a t ely in Chicago mid the Northwest is entirely similar to the great fall,of January, 1895, the nature of which was thoroughly investigated by the weather bureau at that time. Microscopic examination proved that the black deposit contained organic structures—such as dintoms and spores—and about G per cent, of the finest possible inorganic matter, such as make up the ordinary fine silt and clay soils. This fine material is easily «itight up by the winds whenever they exceed twenty miles an hour. It may be carried great distances, and it- is • emw or rain. Large portions of the country from Nebraska southward are covered by thia fine soil. A gale of wind has been known to carry away six inches of this fine soil and deposit it ata distance of 100 miles.”

DEATH FREES A SECRET.

The Cherished Ambition of NVilljam 11. English of Indiana, The death of William H. English releases to the public a surprising vanity Ire ha 1 secretly cherished with a zeal not exceeded, possibly, by that behind his ambiliori for presidential honors. Years prior Vo his death he imparted by direct inference to a friend in Chicago that he “hoped a statue of the other end of the Ila tteoek and .English presidential ticket wonld be allowed one of the four great fame points" set apart for statues of most illustrious American statesmen around 'the .JSOfWWl'soJdiers’-antl esai tofts’—f non nmeh t That"TfuTihiTa dedicated iat TridtohapbTls before the World’s Fain Death alone was to grapt release th this secret, and even then it was to be ment toned gua rd - edly, if at all. "Ah early as 1884 he quietly let the remarkable contract for making

two bronze statues of himself, of the heroic height of eight feet and four inches, at a cost of $1,300 each, with a specification permitting him others at the same price. It was the idea of Mr. English to preseg^g^Jxf. the two statues to th.P •town of English, Ind., only when, however, it had succeeded in getting the honor of county seatship away from a certain rival town. A hot and prolonged fight resulted from the village of English trying to win the heroic trophy offered by its godfather. The matter went from court to court until now it is lodged before the Supreme bench and the man who offered the disturbing prize is dead. The statue remains uncalled for, while the second one has just been finished. As for the four “great fame points.” one is now occupied by a magnificent representation of George Rogers Clark, of continental army fame, and after whom Clafk street in Chicago was named. For another, Chicago foundries are now casting a figure of Gen. William Henry Harrison. Thq occupants of the remaining two places of honor are. well-informed report says, fully decided upon. However, the death of Mr. English just at this time may effect the realization of his aspiring dream. In any event, one of the statues probably will go to adorn the English Hotel property at Indianapolis, and now that his death has occurred, the other statue will, it is thought probable, go to Uie family burial lot, while a third will be ordered by the family for the town of English should it win in the county seat litigation. Mr. G. A. Sala shared the opinion of Sir Walter Scott, who said that he did not care a, curse about what he had written. In regard to this there Is a characteristic story told of him. He had supplied au editor with an article, and the editor asked him whether he would object to a few alterations being made in It Mr. Sala wrote in reply: “I have fulfilled my contract in delivering to you the required weight of raw •neat. How you’cook It, whethw-you roast it, .or boil it, or hash it. or mince It, I neither care nor want to know.”— London Truth. ~ „„

Lowman was an engineer on the Erie line between Hunt* ingtop and Chicago. East July as his train was going at a lively clip near Bass , Lake a side rod broke and the end of jthte heavy rod began smashing up through the floor of the cnb. It struck Lowman on the heel, tearing away part of the heel and so lacerating the tendons that he was crippled for life. Ho brought suit, but the attorneys reached a compromise -as indicated-, -the—company agreeing ter pay him this sum if lie would not exact fur;her employment and would pay all costs.

Since lire news hits been spread broadcast concerning the big $4,000,000 fortune that Squire Van Winkle, of Crown Point, recently fell heir to. he has been pestered by no fewer than 100 tetters from Van Winkles throughout the United States, writing for his biography, and also of all his ancestors. Tn nine cases out of ten they are sure they are entitled to a share ofJkSM üßoins to :n attorneys’ hands. Every mail brings many letters of inquiry. If this continues mu\-h longer Mr. Van Winkle will be forced to employ a stenographer to do his letter writing. In most every case the writer believes he is the only Van Winkle, excepting Judge Van Winkle, in existence. All that are now living expected an estate for half a century back. The cold wave was welcome over a large area of the West, which was literally mudbound for weeks. In most of the : Zitn-try towns the work done by a pair of horses in hauling an empty buggy two or three miles has been more than an average day’s work on good roads in the summer. Many of the country roads have been in such a horrible condition as to prevent even the passage of a pair of horses drawing a buggy with a sitigle occupant. Such, an experience ought to be sufficient to induce agitation for road improvement by those who hitherto have held aloof because of the prospective cost of making reasonably good roadbeds. It is easy .enough for some fanners to think it does not cost them anything to drive through heavy mud during the spft weather usual in the early spring time, but when it stops the marketing of product in the season which normally gives them little else to do it is a more serious matter. Now is a good time for the advocates of country road improvement to renew their agitation. Alfred E. Gibson, a section hand, has sued the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company for $lO,- . 000 damages for injuries sustained in a head-cud collision on the I*an-Handlc, near Marion, Jan. 10.

MAHER KNOCKED OUT.

BIG FIGHT LASTS BUT ONE SHORT ROUND. - to , - ■ '' Fitzsimmons Lands the Deciding; Blow After One Minute and Thirty-five Seconds of Actual Fighting—Texan Bangers at the Ringside. Battle in Mexlc,»Bob Fitzsimmons won the championship of the world Friday afternoon in one minute and thirty-five seconds from Peter Maher in a twenty-four-foot ring pitched on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande within sight of the Texas village of Langutry. Exactly 189 persons saw the mill •and wondered at the short-arm, righthand, back punch which settled the business. tip to the time of the knockout it was any sort of odds that victory would perch on the Irishman's banner.

ROBERT FITZSIMMONS.

Maher escaped right-hand swings. They were not ordinary misses, nor was it by cleverness or agility that Maher got his. head out' of danger. It was dtto to FRz’s wildness. All three of these blows were at least a foot the mark. The Irishhian did not look to be cntjrely confident of victory when he stepped into the ring, but his manner and appearance soon changed p-hen he found that he could dddge Fitz's leads easily. When the men were called up for instructions both agreed not to hit in clinches and to break away clean, even when one arm was free. Maher, who claims he did not agree to this, struck Fitz in the face in backing away from the first clinch. There were loud cries of ‘•foul" from the Now' Zealander's corner. Referee Siler warned Mailer not to do it again. The fight, though short.’ was full of action. and it was fight all the way through. Both jnen started in from the bell ring to niakp a hot pace. Fitzsimmons, except in the last rally, did not use his left and then he only feinted in a strange way so characteristic of the man. It Was more of an. upper cut than a straight-lead, and drew Maher's head in range. Quick as a flash Fitzsimmons shot his right across square on the point of Maher’s jaw and the Irishman’s head hit the floor. It was a short right-hander. The place where the fight took place was in a rocky amphitheater and the sports had to tramp across a pontoon 'bridge to Mexico to reach the ropes. The ridge of rocks -was fringed with men and women, but within the tented inelosure, which was so close to the Rio Grande that its roar drowned the voice of the gatekeeper, 250 fatigued sports leaned against the ropes, 7

THE CUBAN STRUGGLE,

Gen. Weyler and His Proposed Methods Against the Insurgents, Gen. Weyler, the hew commandant of the Spanish forces in Cuba, has—issued three proclamations which announce very clearly a purpose to take the severest possible means to crush out the insurrection. The general assumes extraordinary powers to compel all inhabitants of the districts in which war is being waged to identify themselves before the military authorities and secure passes. He also assumes.-the right to subject all active participants and all sympathizers with the insurgents to summary sentence and punishment, the wording of the proclamation being such as to indicate that the commandant reserves the right to decide in what cases the penalty shall be death. It is evident from these harsh terms that Gcir. Weyler means to spare no effort to put down the, insurrection. As

GEN. WEYTER.

Spain's representative on the island he will not only wage warfare lipa’ll the insurgent armies, but will-take steps? to compel alb other Cuban residents to become passive or active auxiliaries of Spain. If he cannot conquer by force of arms in the field he is prepared to put in operation whatever other practices and strategems may be required to crush the insurgents. If it be necessary to gain his end? he will not scruple to resort to measures of extreme severity, evidently deeming it his duty to put down the revolution first and consider the claims of humanity afterward.
