One of the most interesting medical
theories yet preached is the hypothesis
that scarlet fever originated with the
horse, and that incubation from this ami
NAL may possibly be used as preventive
OF the dreaded disease in the human
being. DR.. John G. Peters, of New York
city, who has prosecuted careful studies
into this subject, is thoroughly convinced
that he is right In this hypothesis, and he
believes that it will be possible to reduce
the equine virus by cultivation, 50 that
healthy children may be inoculated
against the disease.

thing like this in the Morning Call: ''The
final distribution of the Lick estate took
place this morning, and the trustees were
released from their duties. The residue
of the estate consisted of a four-bit piece,
two collar buttons, and a pair of slippers
originally belonging to the deceased,
which the trustees have carefully con-
served. A glass eye, which was among

made good through the generosity of our
esteemed fellOw-citiZen, Mr.. Macfurger-
SON., This is about the way in which
Mr.. Lick's millions will pan out.
