What changes have taken place in that per-
iod? In none have they been more radical than
in the treatment of diseases. In the olden time,

celebrated over a wide extent of the globe as
the safest and gentlest remedial agent ever Of
fered TO suffering humanity

An alarm of fire, turned in from box Al
at 6:55 yesterday morning, brought the
chemical and engines Nos. 2 and 8 to the

caused by some straw under the Mechanics

however and the. chemical, with the aid
of a stream of salt water which the mill
company had playing, promptly extin-
guished the Ere. The run of a mile and a
quarter was very quickly and creditably
made by the department.
