Disappointed With the Lymph


After experimenting for over two
months with the Koch lymph in New
York city on about three hundred and
fifty persons, members of the medical
profession of that city consider Koch
lymph q disappointment, and aver that
tie discoveries claims for it are shown
by their experiments to be nnfounded.-
The New York Herald of Monday gives
the opinions of several eminent prac-
titioners to show that it is valueless as a
diagnostic, that it does not cure consump-
ton, and that IT is not the specific it was
thought to be. No one has proved it to
have an elective affinity, as claimed, for
tubercular tissue. Conservative men de-
clare that the cure for consumption is
quite as far beyond the reach of the pro-
fession as it was before the lymph was
known. DR.. George +. Sbrady, at st.
Frances Hospital and the New York
Cancer Hospital. says: awe are await
ing proofs that the new method of cure IS
quicker and surer than the old one" Dr..
]. Newton Heineman, visiting surgeon of
Mount Sinai Hospital, where the most
numerous experiments have taken place
and of the Polytechnic Hospital, where
most interesting experiments have been
made, said be had abandoned treatment
in all cases which did not show marked
amelioration under the lymph influence,
and continued II am convinced that by
itself the lymph is not a specific for
phthisis. 1t Is only q means among many
others of improving the condition of
consumptive patients, but it is very far
from being n remedy Of such potency that
it may be used to the exclusion of the
others. 1t IS of very little value as a
diagnostc." DR.. II. p. LOOMS, of Belle
vue Hospital, thinks sufficient time has
not vet elasped to Justify statement as
to the benefit. if any, to be expected from
injections of KocL's lymph in consump-
too.

The Melvin Lot Sale No. 2

Owing to the storm on last Wednes-
day the second lot sale Of the Melvin
Free Excursions was postponed to
Friday next, July 18th. On that day
an excursion train will leave Balti-
more at 100 p. NJ. arriving about 2
p. NJ. The Annapolis Excursion will
leave Short Line Depot at $50 p. NJ.
and on arrival of trains ut West
Annapolis the public auction of lots
viii be held. They viii be offered
without reserve and sold to the
highest bidder. Unlike most public
sales, bidders ut these sales have the
option to pay cash, or to buy on the
instalment plan, the last requiring
only a small cash payment. This
gives those who get wages or salaries
an opportunity to buy and pay with
case as they receive their money. In
fact no one desiring TO locate in this
section or to own town property
here can do better than attend these
sales and secure some lots.
Always buy two lots if possible,
as you will thereby obtain ground
for a fine roomy yard and garden,
adding so much to the pleasure and
comfort of suburban life. Then, if
you find you can't pay for both, or
don't want both, you can sell off one
at advance frequently sufficient to
pay for both lots. In other words
YOU do little private specializing
and at same time get a choice of
home lots for your own use.
The lots at West Annapolis are
ON the rise and it will be found that
as the season advances prices viii be
higher. When a hundred purchas-
ers have been settled over the prop
erty, with dwellings here and there
going up, it viii be impossible to
buy any of these choice locations at
anything like present prices. If you
want to buy-buy at once and get
the benefit of the rise which these
Melyin's Auction Sales and Free Ex-
cursions must bring about. Nearly
$50 lots are already sold.
Now remember the day and date
of the sale. The Excursion train
will leave Short Line Depot at $50
Z. M. for West Annapolis. Return-
ing will leave at GAS p. NJ.

was divided into the sum OF $50, for

for third prize. and they were awarded
TO Frank c. Wells, Toronto Canada. FIRST
prize; VIM Macomber, of Baffalo, N. Y.
second prize, and ID. Claude, of Annapo-
lis, third prize. There were ninety eight
contestants and some idea Of the impor-
lance Of the contest may be gathered
from the prominence of the judges who
were Erastus Wiman. f. b. Thurber. of
Thurber. wyland 4 Co.. N. Y, and
Henry w. Darling, president of the
Bank Of Commerce and Board Of Trade
Of Toronto. Canada, and also from what
Public Opinion says in regard to them
In its issue of.April 25th, 1t says: After
the receipt on April Goth of the last mail
the contest was declared closed and up
wards of one hundred essays were re
ceiyed. casual glance through them
showing that they are all of high stand
ard and that they have evidently been
written by persons thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the question" On July 4th
II says; The work of the judges has
been delayed on account of the very high
grade of the essays. So close has been
the competition that it has been necessa-
ry to read and re-read many of the pa
pers, which are masterpieces of econo
mic literature 1t is doubtful If any
contest in recent years has brought out
so many papers of paramount excellence,
and the prize winners are entitled to the
highest honors which will be accorded
them by the thousands who will read
their articles" And in its last issue OF
to day. July 18th, after naming the sue
cessful contestants il says Each judge
marked upon the scale of 100 without a
knowledge OF the ratings given by the
other judges, and the paper which had
received the highest grand total was
awarded first prize, the next highest
second prize, and the next highest third.
"The general high character Of the pa
pers necessitated the taking Of much
more time for the final decision than was
at first supposed to be necessary. We
desire to take this occasion to thank all
the competitors for their efforts in hav-
ing made the contest successful, and to
wish them the best results in the coming
contests to be announced later
This is high compliment paid our
fellow townsman, Mr.. Dennis Claude,
and one which he has just cause to feel
proud.

The official BALLOT for the municipal
ticket has been printed. II Is similar TO
the ticket printed last fall. As this is
the first city election held under the Aus
tralian ballot law. 1t is well that every
one should familiarize himself with it's
workings. The emblems are the same
as those used last fall--the hickory tree
and Jackson on the Democratic ticket,
and the busk of Abraham Lincoln on the
Republican ticket. There being no pro-
hibition ticket or emblem for that party,
bank form is left to the right for this
purpose, which is likely to puzzle the ig-
norant in making his marks on the adj
joining ticket unless be is perfectly ia
miliar with marking the ticket. The fol-
lowing is the instruction printed at the
top of each ticket:
"A X mark made in space to the right
OF emblem at head Of party ticket means
vote for all the names In that column,
and no other X Ia required
"A X mark made in space At right of
name Of candidate means vote for the
particular person opposite whose name
the X is placed. and no other"

A Political Retrospect.

Both political parties seem to be pre-
pared for the outcome of the municipal
contest which takes place in Annapolis
on Monday. For some days past the
different candidates haye been discussed
at public places, at private residences,
and by groups of people upon the streets.
So there is no excuse why voter should
not cast his ballot intelligently on cleo
ton day. There is always something to
be said against an outgoing board to
its detriment: but the intelligent manage
ment Of the city's finances by the present
officials leave but little room for fault
finding As whole 1t may truthfully
be said that our present city officials
have fulfilled their obligations to the
people of Annapolis and to the best in
terests of its taxpayers as well, If not
better than any of their predecessors.
There is pride in being able to say that
financially the city of Annapolis pays
her debts promptly. To those who re-
member when the city's paper was being
hawked about the city at an enormous
discount, this new era in improving the
city's financial condition must be ex-
tremely gratifying, and when it is known
that this state of Affairs was inaugurated
by Democratic board, the dominant
party should be further entrusted with
the municipal government of our dear
old city two years longer. At first there
was objection to some OF the candidates
presented to both parties, but there is no
reason to believe that a majority of the
good people of Annapolis will come out
on election day and vote squarely for a
ticket which represents good govern.

candidates at least fifty majority next
