Mrs. Rooney told the reporter how Willie
had suffered with catarrh since he was lit
tie baby and added:
why, he was stuffed up so that several
times he nearly smothered to death and we
thought surely he would die Within year
or two he kept getting worse, and we got doc
tors. who said he had catarrh in the head. but
they didn't do him much good.
sAt last my husband took Willie to Phila-
delphia to see Drs Mccoy and Wildman, of
1922 Chestnut street. We didn't exactly feel
that we could afford Il, but my husband found
the charges low. II WASH { convenient either,
but my husband argued that il was better 20
have Willie's catarrh cured while he was
yourg and 1t could be cured, than TO let 1t run
until he grew up, when IL might be too late. y
At this juncture Willie began to tell the re-
porter how he used to have pains over his
eyes and how miserable he used to feel and
how poor his appetite used to be. "But now, "he
said Il don't have any more pains IN my head
and feel like another boy and can eat lots. y
willie got so bad,n continued Mrs. Rooney.
that he looked like a little walking ghost
We sent him TO several doctors, but Drs Me-
Coy and Nildman are the only doctors who
could do him any good. They cured him COM
pletely. He's a different boy now He didn't
use TO eat anything hardly. but be eats SPLEEN
did now and he Is great deal stouter. OH
he's all right now and prs. Mccoy and Wild
man deserve all the Credit in the world for
what they have done F"
Mr.. Rooney is delighted over the way Drs.
Mccoy and WildmRn treated his boy and IS
quite enthusiastic about the great change that
has come over Willie since he first took him

LONDON, Jan. 8.-Tbe New Years let
ter Of Emperor William to Prince Bis.
marck has aroused considerable discus.
sion over what is called the aggrandize.
ment Of the Executive Of Germany. The
fact which strikes the critics since the
accession Of William III, is that the En-
perery figures more and more as the
handspring OF the government and the
ministers fall more aud more into the
background, while the legislative bodies
and even the minor soyereigns' sink into
comparative insignifcance. This is a
departure from the method OF William
1 who appeared during his life time
rather as the instrument and supporter
Of his ministers than US the spontaneous
controller of all that was done, although
the light that has since been thrown up.
on many important transactions shows
that the monarch was often really the
prime mover where he was least sus-
pected OF independent action.
