In the realm Of machinery and manu-
facture the inventor is yet but entering
upon his infancy, Many millions of dol
lars have been reaped and are TO be ac-

Of humanity. The central idea in this
work is to reduce labor, expense and
time to the lowest point, and so 10 econo-

WHAT WATER DOES.

Water alone can act thoroughly on the
blood, and water produces four notice.
able effects. 1t dissolves the injurious
principles of the blood, eliminates that
which has been dissolved, restores regu-
lar circulation to the purified blood and
fortifes the debilitated organism. In a
talk with the abbe after consultation
hours, he said that fifty years ago people
did not take cold as at the present time.
Why? Simply because the body was more
hardened to changes in temperature.
Water makes the body capable Of en-
during all climates, and the best way to
begin the treatment is to walk barefoot
in the wet grass. After quarter of an
hours promenade without drying the
feet, one must put on dry shoes and
stockings and exercise until the feet are
very warm. "If you can find no dew,
no wet grass" said the able, "walk on
cold, wet stones, or even on the snow.
That is my remedy for those who are al
ways taking cold.'
The abbe's treatment varies according
TO the malady. For some he prescr1bes
vapor baths, for others wet congresses,
for others baths with oats or hay added
to the water, etc. The water must be
as cold as possible, and in winter snow is
preferred. But cold bath must never
last more than five minutes, including
the time required for dressing and un,
dressing, and the bather must never use
towels, but always exercise for fifteen
minutes after the bath. Friction only
causes unequal circulation, but exercise
produces a uniform heat.
Warm baths should always be followed
by plunge in cold water. The good
abbe says one must never drink too much
water, and the least possible during re
pasts Drink little water before eat
ing, very little while eating, and two ol
three hours after drink as much as yor
wish. Paris Cor. New York World.

COLD WATER CURES ALL.
A UNIVERSAL PANAcEA FOR SUFFER-
ING HUMANITY.

"The AbBe Sebastian Kneipp" and His
Power Of Healing "A Patient De-
soribes tho Method Of the Priests Treat
ment-CoId water Used Externally.
Few Americans have seen the little
village Of Woerishofen, between Mem
mingen and Augsburg, in Bavaria, and
yet for the past four or five years this
little burg has attracted as many visitors
as Bayreuth and Oberammergau. Woer-
ishofen is celebrated not for its mineral
waters, not for its bracing air, but for
its marvellous cures performed by the
priest Of the village, the Able Sebastian
Kneipp. Each year at least 10000 in
vslids make apilgrinaget to Woerishofen
and endure all Inconvenience in order
to be cured by the Able Kneipp.
The Abbe Kneipp is celebrity in
Germany. He Is called genius, a
savant, a benefactor of the human race.
Everything in the village is named for
the wise priest. For instance, there is
Kneipp coffee, Kneipp bread, Kneipp
linen, etc Always at least a dozen
physicians are present at the consulta-
tions of the priestly healer, and these,
after thoroughly understanding his sys-
tenn, will found Kneipp Anstalten at
Stuttgart, Munich. Wurtzbourg, etc.
This good abbe believes that water
will cure all the ills to which flesh is
heir. A friend who went from Paris to
consult the Abbe Kneipp has told Inc Of
her experience at Woerishofen, and Of
her great admiration for the abbe's wis.

THE ABBE.
In the village there are only three OF
four primitive inns, but most Of the in
valids lodge in private houses no less
| primitive. The able has been compelled
| to build large house for the benefit Of
the clergy, for priests also ask to be cured
| by their confrere.
The abbe receives at the presbytery,
and begins consultations at o'clock in
the morning. The great physician sits
in q large room on the ground floor, sur
rounded by pupils. The abbe is q fine
looking man. His regular features and
fresh complexion denote health, and his
broad, high forehead, hardly touched by
wrinkle, is framed in white hair.
His eyes are the bluest and brightest
have ever seen, for his soul seems to be
concentrated in these eyes, and they pene-
trate you through and through-in fact
to make diagnosis, the Rbbe only looks
at patient and in diagnosis he never
errs. Some who went to the priest with
despair in their hearts left him buoyed
up by courage and with the assurance
that their diseases were not incurable.
Although the able says II cannot de-
stroy DEATH" still he has cured many
whose diseases baf1led the skill of others
A man whose face was disfgured by q
horrible cancer asked his advice. Calm
ly the priest said, at is easily cured,
and after several weeks of lotions and
baths the cancer disappeared. The blind
have recovered their sight and the lam,
have walked.
According to the Abbe Kneipp every
disease originates in the blood; there
may be n disturbance in its circulation
