NASAL POLYPUS.
These Tumors Are Removed without
Pain or Loss of Blood.

These Tumors Are Removed without
Pain or Loss of Blood.
In no one thing have Drs. Copeland, Neal and
VIM gained so much fame as in the removal
of polypus tumors from the nasal cavities.
Formerly the operation was attended with
much pain and loss of blood. BY the operation
OF these specialists it is comparatively painless
and bloodless and withal permanent.
The case of Mr.. F. \. Pust, whose place of
business is at 900 Bush street and who lives al
BOT California avenue, is a typical one. He
says: about the first week in May my LETT
nostril became completely filed with tumors
(polypD, causing severe pains over my left
eye and effectually stopping breathing through
that nostril. friend OF mine had been sue
cessfuily treated at the Copeland Medical Insti-
tute and l Immediately placed myself under
their care. After one weeks treatment they
removed the polypus without causing the least
bit of pain. / continued treatment for a few
weeks longer and now feel perfectly cured,
breathing through my nose with greater ease
than ever before. They are very kind'and cour-
teous and it is a real pleasure to be treated by
them. feel very grateful to them for the cure
they have effected in my case.

Among the Congregationalists general
satisfaction is expressed at the success

Thomas Buck swallowed dose of creo-

bad that they became alarmed and notified
the police. He must have swallowed the

NASAL CATARRH.
Why So Much Is Said About It-Danger
of Neglect,

1t may have occurred to the average reader
of the daily papers to ask why it is that so
much is said by medical specialists about
catarrh
Nasal, catarrh, when neglected, brings on
train of disorders that are frightful. That it is
a repulsive disease every one knows, but that
it is the mother OF many other complaints few
know or appear to apprecate-least of all the
catarrhal sufferer himself
A typical case of catarrh is furnished by MI.

PLAYED CHESS BY WIRE,
San Francisco Wins the Sec

test Easily.
Full Score of the Games, With
NoteS-ExhibitionS of Local
Chess Talent.

The Geographic chess match between
Vancouver, B. c., and the Mechanics In
stitute, San Francisco, resulted in a COM
plete victory for the local players. The
Britishers resigned on board 2 at 1:30
o'clock yesterday morning. The game
lasted seven hours, and was played in ex-
cellent style by the San Francisco players
DR.. Lovegrove, A. Howe, V. Quiroga and
Oscar Samuels represe nted the Mechanics
Institute and were opposed by Keith, NJ.
Smith, Proctor and Grant of Vancouver.
Vancouver succumbed on board after
about five hours play, as they had no good
defense against the onslaught of the
American players, who had the attack, and
thus rushed matters in quick order to a
successful issue. Rodney Kendrick, Dane
and Walter Franklin comprised the victori-
Gus team and were matched against Hoffar,
F. @. Crickmay, Hooper and DR.. Bell Irv-
ing of Vancouver.

planatory notes.:

NOTES CAME /

(a) This is very strong move and White has
now winning advantage, as Blacks queen side is
weak.
90 An excellent stroke which breaks up Blacks
pawns or forces the exchange If he tries to save
them.
(c) Black might now resign instead of giving up
the bishop for the pawn. as the White king is safe
and no prospect Of getting snap mate.

METRIC SYSTEM.
Gradually Overspreading the World OF
Weights and Measures.

Weights and Measures.
The use of the metric system OF weights
and measures is now practically universal
in scientific investigations, and is slowly
being introduced among manufacturing
establishments making machinery Tor eX-
port to South American countries, where
the system is employed. There are
number of societies in this country ana
England which are endeavor1ng to have IL
adopted for ordinary purposes by English
speaking people, but their efforts have not
met with much success as yet.
The English society for this purpose, the
New Decimal Association, has Just pub
lished report of its last meeting, which
contains some interesting information.
Thomas Kyle pointed out number OF in
consistencies against which the British
tradesman has to contend. There is the
troy ounce of $50 grains and the avolrdu-
pois ounce of $50 grains. When an apothe-
cary sells drugs at retail he uses the hrst
measure, although he buys them by the
second. There are also three separate
dram weights, the avoirdupois, fluid and
apothecary containing 81 "a and 90 grains
respectively, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Over 200 separate ways of selling wheat
are used at the present time in Great
Britain. For example, bushel OF wheat
weighs sixty pounds in Worcestershire,
seventy pounds in Monmouth and eighty
pounds in Newtown. In Nottingham
shire bushel of potatoes weighs eighty
four pounds, while in Cornwall it weighs
224 pounds, nearly three times as much.
The standard hundred-weight is 112
pounds, but hundred weight of cheese in
Cheshire is 100 pounds. A butcher buying
meat at wholesale expects but eight
pounds in a stone, although it usually
contains fourteen pounds. The man who
wants little ale and orders half pint
receives ten fluid ounces, but the I'M
initiated imbiber who calls for 4 glass
cannot complain if he gets but nine, eight
or seven ounces, although half pint and
a glass are generally regarded as synony-
nous.
R. A Hadfeld, one of the leading Eng
lish steel manufacturers, said he saw no
good grounds for attempting to defend
system under which the ore in one estab-
lishment he knew about was first weighed
in Cornish tons of 1852 pounds, was then
finished and weighed by long tons of 2240
pounds, and was finally sold by tons of
1000 pounds AS business man, he was
convinced that the present system, if it
was worth that name, was greatly hinder
ing British international trade. He was
sure that the recent great expansion in
German industry has been much helped
indirectly by the wise foresight of those
who were directing the policy of that ma
ton as to adopting the metric system from
the hands of its vanquished foe.
