Edison's Electric Rheumatism Cure,


Among the subjects OF interest pre-
sented at the recent International Medi-
cal Congress ut Berlin, was a paper by
Thomas Edison, giving an interesting
account OF his experiments in the treat
ment of gouty concretions by electricity.
He learned that the salts Of lithium were
used in such cases internally with
the theory Of forming the urate Of
lithium, which was soluble and could be
dissolved and excreted from the body,
and that the difficulty met with was
the practical one of getting the salts in
the system. 1t occurred to him that the
principle Of electric endosmose, or the
principle by which the transmission Of
solutions through q membrane Is accel-
Grated by the steady application Of q
current OF electricity. could be success
fully applied in such cases. He made an
exhaustive series OF experiments with
this end in view, first to prove that the
TRANSMISSION of one solution TO another
could be accelerated by the electric cur
rent, and after that had been success
fully established on the living patient.
A patient was taken who was suffer
ing from an aggravated form Of gouty
concretions. The finger joints swollen
to an enormous size, those Of the little
finger nearly three and half inches in
circumference. This patients hands
We're immersed in two jars, and these
connected with the poles Of the electric
current. In the positive jar was Q solu-
tion of the salts Of lithium, and in the
negative jar a solution Of common salt.
The result showed that the fluid e1cre-
tions were strongly impregnated with
lithium. The treatment was for six
hours daily. After fourteen days
the reduction of the si8e OF the
finger joints was great and the pains
had been constant in the fingers be-
fore the treatment were entirely ab-
sent Mr.. Edison closes his papers with
this statement: From these expert
ments think 1t fair to conclude that
satisfactory use can be made OF the prin-
ciple of electrical endosmose In this class
Of cases." The paper was received with
the manifestation OF much interest In
Congress.

Sober Thoughts.

From time immemorial, says Hdr-
ber's Bazaar, the new year has been
the season for fresh and good resolu-
tions. We can even imagine Caesar
himself, shortly after the reformation
of the calender, resolving that he would
cease to think again of a kingly crown
and Tucullus resolving that no ban
quets of peacocks' tongues and night
ingales' brains should cost more than
SO many sesterii, Cataline resolving on
no more conspiracies and Cicero on
less talking. And doubtless long be-
fore their time there was some other
day set apart and made memorable
by this same custom, for even when
Adam and Eve left the Garden Of Eden
they must have made a resolve to eat
no more of the apples of the tree Of
the knowledge of good and evil, should
they chance to come across them.
But indeed the making of good
resolutions has always been SO easy
that one marvels why any day in es-
pecial should ever have been set apart
for the purpose. Yet the fact is that
almost every one likes to postpone the
time of relinquishing the particular
naughtiness which for any reason has
become Objectionable, whether the rea-
son be the bare fact OF its own char
acter or be the injury it works.
It's SO easy to be good next week or
the week after, because that person
who is going to be good next week or
the week after is another individual,
the person of that time another person,
not one'sself not the person of this
time. 1t is so difficult 10 say, now,
now, now is the time to leave off! be-
cause the person whom snow ad
dresses is ones self and experiences
the whole bitterness of the remuneration
And for this reason we may observe
that usually the time for carrying the
good resolve into effect is seldom this
moment or this day. but is always
among the tomorrows; and thus un-
counted good resolutions are made in
any part of the last year, the time for
their budding into action being always
left for the first day of the new year.
1t would seem, then, that this first
day of the new year is really sort of
sacrihcial day, and while we never Gel
ebrate it with external ceremonial as a
day of sacredness, as we do many other
holidays, it IS in very truth a day of
sacredness in the effect that it has upon
us as means of grace, let us say, since
there is no question but that the max
ing OF good resolutions IS means of
grace, no matter how poorly we use
the means afterward. On that one
day Of all the three hundred and sixty.
five we have the chance to make our
selves better than we we're by all the
height Of our desire and our resolve
and thus something of the loftiness of
the desire and the resolve belongs
about the day.

In case Of accident or emergency tho
supply could be shut off from the track
and the motor brought to a stop. The
railroad would be divided into blocks, as
the Pennsylvania now is, and the electric
current would only be turned on to a
block when all was right and the track
clear.
If the Reading Railroad would be con-
tent to send passengers down to Atlantic
City at the rate Of 100 miles an hour, or
in thirtythree minutes, Prof. Marks

Forestalling that dread hour when we may
