remedies which, in the acute stage would
have been sufficient, are found utterly
inappropriate and inefficient. From this
necessary brief statement, it will be seen
that the treatment of Chronic Diseases
may well constitute special branch of
the medical profession, as the surgeon is
distinguished from the physician. Chronic
Diseases are peculiar in their obscurity
and obstinacy, therefore, their diagnosis
and treatment are peculiar; and hence
there must be corresponding peculiar
sagacity, springing from natural endow
ment, sharpened by careful study, and in
structed by long and widely extended
experience, TO discern rightly the source
from which these CHRONIC COMPLAINTS
have arisen, the course they have run.
and the essential features of the stage az

The Trains DO Not Paw.

General Manager Tucker, of the Maine
Central, said yesterday, his attention hav-
Ing been called to the recent despatch in
the PRESS regarding the feeling in Rock
land concerning the cancellation Of two
trains on the Knox & Lincoln. that leaving
kockland at 400 a. m, and returning leav-
ing Bath In the evening, that the change
was simply in the interest of economy.
He said that the officials have been watch
ing the performance of these trains ever
since the Maine Central took control of
the Knox & Lincoln, and they had become
convinced that they were not paying for
themselves.
"If it iwere legislative year," said he,
I'VE should keep the early train On; but,
as 1t is not, we cancel it for the winter
simply because 1t is losing US money."6
"We are favorably disposed toward the
people of Rockland," said Mr.. Tucker, "as
we ought to be, for they do a good deal of
business with us; but they do not support
this early train. 1t is too early to be popu-
lar anyway. 1t leaves Rockland at 45O,
and gets to Bath before daylight. We
have built good ferry boat for the Ken
nebec, to be used lin the spring. and then
there will be no cause for complaint from
anyone. II there is complaint nowsit is
from a small fraction of the people,"

a PRETTY DRY TIME.
But Lake sebago Has Seen Worse
off Before.
Uncle Jerry Rusk's Young Men
Give Some Figures.

"YOu can say that there will not be any
water to waste this winter" said one Of
the officers of the Portland Water COmpa-
ny yesterday, ''but there is no occasion for
alarm. The water has been lower than it
is now, although the fall In the lake this
fall has been continuous and remarkable"
The question which brought this reply
had been prompted by stories around town
that Sebago Lake was shrinking away at
an alarming pace, and that Portland might
soon be in a situation similar to New York
City, where the water has already peen
shut out of the upper stories Oh houses on
account Of the drought In the Croton wat
ershed.
There was good reason enough for some
rumors to get about. for it is remarkable
drought. Have not the people of Deering
been telling for several days that Mr..
Charles Goodrich's never falling we'll has
gone dryp And is it not also true that the
well on Mr.. ]. K. Martins Bridgton place
"a we'll that has 5een OF unquestioned
credit for 125 years-has several times OF
late asked for an extension OF timer 9th
or less substantial wells all over Cumber-
land county have suspended. Sebago
Lake has fallen about eight feet this sea-
son, and to the surprised people on It's
banks it seems that the grand old lake has
never been so low. But the Portland Water
Company does not do business on tradi-
tions. and its records show that the old in
habitants about the lake are not right for
once. There are now three feet and eight
inches Of water over the mouth OF the pipe
of the Portland Water Company at the
lake. This year in April there were IL
feet 1Oa inches there, and it las fallen
steadily since, drop Of eight feet But
the water has been lower than this, for in
April. 1888, there were but two feet and
three inches over the mouth Of the pipe at
the lake.
1t is quite evident then that the old lake
has not got into an irreclaimable condi-
ton. 1t is still able to give Portland some
of the best water in North America.
The young gentlemen. who keep Uncle
Jerry Lusk's branch ranch in the First
National Bank Building in this city con-
firmed the general impression that the
drought is very severe one. The wealth
er bureau has the records Of the fall Of
water. or precipitation, as they call it. for
the last 20 years. This record is for Port
land only, but it seems to express pretty
well the state Of things all around. This
is the fourth of succession of very dry
months, as the following table of preclpi-
tation in Portland by inches for the same
months for 20 years will show:
