The Riley's,

not that it could have successful run for any
length of time it might wish to engage here.
This season it is the original "Riley's" un-
der the control of Mrs. W. Fl. Riley and her
son William Riley Jr. Mrs. Riley is lady
who thoroughly understands the profession
in which she is engaged while Mr.. Riley
enjoys reputation for all-around acting
that will at any time draw full house of
pleased listeners. We think we but voice
the sentiment of Napoleon when we say that
this troup is the best repertoire company

ing it has been here several times, never fails
to give satisfaction. Monday evening. 1.-THE

Malienant Gases of Diphtheria.

Campbell, sons of William Campbell, were
probably the most severe, not to result ia,
tally. The case of the younger. John, was
of the worst type, the paroxysms of the lits
tie fellow entailing the utmost suffering;
and indeed his life was given up by the at
tending physicians. Itwas at this critical
moment that DR.. Maerker was called, who
applied the Siebert treatment with the most
marked success. The treatment consists of
a spraying Of the throat beneath the "patch''
which is thedead membrane. The bacilli
are beneath the "pstch" and cannot be
reached otherwise than by hypodermic in
lection. From the beginning of this treat
ment the patient rapidly improved, and
Monday the last of the patch" was re-
moved and the child declared out of danger.
DR.. ldaerker has treated number of cases
by the same treatment, which In every in
stance has proven successful.
