o. anoth rage OF this issue Is an
cXhaus We article on the treatment
ana cure OF consumption The subject
has lately been brought TO the atten-
ton of tho press OF the entire country
as q result of the action OF the Michi-
ga Board OF Health in declaring
80 r3r.',.: ca.a1,ous disease, aid
re, oLme dig isolation OF af-
fccted persons to special hos
p,tals erected for the purpose.
Should other state boards Of health
follow the example of the Michigan
body, 1t seems impossible to measure
what the consequences would be- The
New York Recorder, actuated by that
spirit which should pervadc every ed
itorial sanctum, offered a reward of
$1,000 to any physician effecting
cure for consumption. The Offer was
p omptly accepted by DR.. w. r. Amick
of Cincinnati, who had already distin-
guished himself by curing .ome pa
ticnts selected by the Cincinnati Post,
newspaper. The management Of the
Recorder selected ten patients in vnri-
GUS stages OF consumption. The article
referred to tells the story of DIR.
Amick's success and OF the payment Of
the $1,000 by the Recorder company.
DR.. Amick shows not only his willing
ness but his great desire to have his
treatment impartially tested before
any money for the medicines has been
expended by the affected. lie offers to
send to all local physicians, regardless
of school or code or creed, test pack
ages of his medicines sufficient TO show
just what results will be produced in
each case. TIE fact that these outfits
are only sent to the patient through
his or her physician is guarantee
that they will stand the test to
which they may be subjected by med
zeal experts DIR. Amick is willing TO
let each physician and each patient
Judge as to whether he has accom-
plishcd what he claims. There is
already the testimony of physicians
and patients who have found reasons
for endorsing the discovery. In the
face of such evidence Of its worth
there can be but little nesitancy in
pronouncing the discovery great
boon 10 suffering mankind, and there
fore of incalculable benefit to the
who'c human race

age aud visiting with friends, her
parents decided that her CRYING and
persistence in wanting the milk, which

vow that if their lives -Sere spared

opportunity for which the doctor had
long been looking. and he immedi-
