PAGE SETTcSf. REPORT SAYS THAT TRADE IS QUIETER Bradstreet's Review Has Situation Aptly Described. READJUSTMENT PROCESS.
TIIE RICHMOITO PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1907.'
New York, Nor. 16. Bradstreefs Weekly review of trade today says: Trade as a whole Is quieter, and Industrial operations are being curtailed In accord with the readjustment process forced by the prevailing monetary stringency and the spread of the acute currency scarcity to the country at large. Evidences of this are found In the restriction of wholesale buying for future delivery. In the confinement of jobbing trade to purely lllllng-ln proportions, and In the curtailment of retail buying by the necessary employment of credit Instruments. In manufacturing lines there is apparently a determination to fill orders only as they are received and indisposition to accumulate stocks, the result here being a slowing down of operations pending the settlement of affairs upon a substantial basis. This industrial quieting is also in no small degree due to the fact that manufacturers unable or unwilling to ask their employes to take pay in credit instruments, chose rather to reduce production to a point where operations can be conducted free from dispute as to the methods of payment employed. There are, however, some favorable elements which point to the rehabilitation process being well underway. There is in the first place an absence of anything like precipitate action In the business community, the first flurry of financial unsettlement has appeared without much of the disorganisation witnessed In other years, and there has succeeded a steady determination to make the best of a situation which by many Is regarded as but temporary and not of a lasting depressing kind. The situation in the larger financial markets is unquestionably aaore cheerful, gold arrivals from abroad continue very large, and the security markets display considerable steadiness.
Wall Street Cheers Up. New York, Nov. 16. Never In the history of Wall street has there been Such enormous purchases of securities by Investors in odd lots and the transfer books of railroad and industrial corporations show today a recordbreaking number of new shareholders. The present low market prices of standard securities is responsible. Th,e New York Centra! railroad and several other companies report that the number of their stockholders has nearly doubled In the last year. The distribution of stock to people of moderate means foretells certain relief for the monetary situation, for brokerage houses state today that these purchases are made outright with cash withdrawn from safety deposit vaults or with certified checks. These sums, ranging In amounts from $100 to $10.000, in the aggregate total many millions of dollars. Bankers welcome the small investor, for his appearance betokens a firm conviction that the country's industrial well-being will be maintained.

Gold Relieving the Stress. New York, Nov. 16. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade today Bays: liberal receipts of gold from abroad and large increase in banknote circulation tend to relieve the financial stress at New York; but the Interior is now feeling the scarcity of currency and commercial activity is retarded to some extent. Dispatches from leading cities indicate conservatism in preparation for future business and irregularity in collections with most favorable news from agricultural sections in which the crops are being marketed as freely as the upply of money will permit. Return to normal conditions will be hastened by large exports of farm staples, supplying credits abroad upon which the much-needed gold may be imported. The London View of It. London, Nov. 16. The Times in an editorial discussing the financial situation in the United States this morning says that more light on the subject is desirable before the best informed people of London will be able .to share Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou's confidence. At the same time it says it is necessary to keep a cool head and not be misled as to the more distant future by what after all is only a transient phenomenon such as has occurred In America before, though not on such a dangerous scale.

was absorbed ln prayer. Rising, he found himself ln the hands of the executioner by whom he was made to sit on a block, his feet just reaching the ground. His body was then bound to the stake behind him by several turns of an iron chain, whilst his neck was secured in like manner by the colls of a hempen rope. His two books were then fastened to his waist, and his head was encircled in mockery with a chaplet of straw and green twigs betrewea with brimstone. The deadly torch was then applied to the faggots and flashed in his face; and the brimstone catching and the flames rising, wrung from the victim such a cry of anguish as struck terror to the surrounuing crowd. After this he was bravely silent; but the wood being purposely green, although the people aided the executioner in heaping the faggots upon him, a long half hour elapsed before he ceased to show signs of life and suffering. Immediately before giving up the ghost, with a last expiring effort he cried aloud: "Jesu,
Thou Son of the eternal God, have , compassion upon me!' All was then I hushed save the hissing and crackling !

able, than any other calling. The writer also believes that a medical hierarchy (not an oligarchy) is essential to any rational, scientific and practical advancement of medicine. ; Then let us got ? batfpy understanding of what
derstood and realized by a description of his burning. From an ancient chronicler, an eye witness, we quote: "When he came In sight of the fatal pile, the wretched Servetus- prostrated himself on the ground, and for awhile

practice declined to almost nothing, and the oligarchy would have consign
ed him to a much slower if not more , painful death than Servetus, that of starvation, had not noted friends come to his rescue, such as King Charles I of England, Bacon, Hobbs, Cowley and ; other persons of note. j Turning ln disgust from the past' history of medicine, to magnificent modern medicine, fixing our gaze on ; Richmond, the beautiful, and what do we see of the medical oligarchy? In the Saturday, Sept. 28th issue of the j Daily Palladium, we read in large j headlines "Dairy Cows Given Tuber- j
culine Test Precaution is Taken by ! Health Authorities at the Raper Dairy ! One Animal affected." The paper goe3 on to state, "After seven or eleven fine hogs were condemned some time age at the Stolle slaughtering establishment, suspicion ' of the local health officers were imi mediately directed to the Raper dairy farm, from which the hogs came. As ' a result of this suspicion, Dr. Hoover, city dairy inspector, Wednesday administered the tuberculine test to twenty-seven cows furnishing milk to the city pf Richmond." Now such l statement on its surface, not only ; looks harmless, but praiseworthy of these guiless and ever-watchful guar- ; dians of the dear people's health and
happiness. But let us lift the curtain of the inner circle and push the probe to the bottom of thia health trust. The first and deeply vital question that every intelligent and self-think1
ing. citizen should candidly face and
sojve for himself is, what is tnbercujline any how? The second and no less
Important is, what is the real nature and purpose of cow's milk? The third and if possible more important, as it is one that directly concerns every fond mother of a dear innocently coo-, ing baby in Richmond, or elsewhere for that matter, is, what will be the effect on my child's future health, and the hereditary effects, of this tuberculine infection of the cows? Can it have any deleterious influence on milk that we are to give to our babies
and children? well, let us candidly and without bias investigate. If one will talk with the intelligent farmer housewife, one will be surprised to learn of the extreme susceptibility of the milch cow md that while this is so, she is rarely poisoned by eating poisonous or unwholesome herbs, because of the readiness with which it is carried out of her system by the excretions, of which the milk is the most active; so that a cow giving suckle to a calf will, as a rule, not be affected with "milk-sick" but the calf will promptly be. Cows eating volatile herbs, as mints, wild garlick, rag-weed, etc., renders their milk impotable; also the housewife will tell you that she does not dare to set fresh milk In the refrigerator along side of vegetables, such as onions, cucumbers,
muskmelons, etc. We turn to Gould's medical dictionary for a definition of our dairy inspector's test as follows: Tuberculine a glycerine extract of cultures of the bacillus of tuberculosis. It is a brownish, neutral, albuminoid liquid, soluable in water, and consists probably cf the ptomains of the tubercle-bacilli. "Note that the author pays probably it consists of the ptomains of the consumption srerm; now any one at all acquainted with the subject knows that there is no probability about it: there can be no question as to tuberculine being any
other than the ptomains or excretions of these virulent micro-organlsmt. The people should know that the term ptomain is a scientific diplomatic name for the excretions of these llv ing organisms, whoso offal in no wise differs from that of larger beings; they are simply finer and consequently a more subtle poison. The author further says: "It should be used therapeutically only with great care." He mentions also several eminent bacteriologists who have made modifications of tuberculine with a view to lessening its great dangers; for be it remem
bered that it Is the excretions of mouse or man that Is to be dreaded and shunned, not the mouse or the man himself. Exactly so with so called disease-germ; It Is not the living thing that does the damage, bnt its ptomains or excretions. The fatal prevalence of typhoid at camp Chick amauga which killed far more of our boys during the Spanish-American war than bullets, was traced to con tact of flies with their food that had previously feasted on their excretions, j With these facts before us, who can ' figure up the huge sum of evil that must inevitably result from the inoculation of these twenty-seven cows to -which our well meaning but misguided city dairy inspector has administered this tuberculine test? Verily, they strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
