The Efficacy of Anti -Toxlne for
Diphtheria.

This very expensive remedy costing
S4 a small vial or So a dose, is said to
be very efficacious in case of diph-
liberia. 1t is described as yellow
colored liquid which is put up in a
black bottle about the length of
finger. 1t is very securely sealed and
the neck of the bottle is heavily wax
ed. The two doses are given twelve
hours apart by injecting it into the
system. 1t is said to take FIVE months
to prepare this great French remedy.
In a certain sense it is incubation,
in which the horse instead of the cow
is used as a medium through which
the virus or medicine is gotten. A
germ of diphtheria is taken from a
person who has it and through vacci-
nation it is transmitted to a horse.
The horse is carefully watched and
cared for in the meantime. In several
weeks his vaccination stakes" and
he is taken sick. During this sickness
he is bled in the jugular vein and the
serum is separated from the blood,
and the medicine is then prepared
from it.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1895-02-01

The man who claims that the only
way soul can be saved is through
the channel offered by his particular
religious denomination, is bigot if
he believes it, and a hypocrite if he
does not believe what he processes.
An evangelist who asserts that church
organizations other than his, have no
religion in them, possesses neither
charity for his fellow men, nor spirit
of christian love and brother hood,
and is not fit to be teacher of the
word of God.

FAUST"

Learock's "Faust" will be the at
traction at the Opera House, on Mon
day, February 4. 1t is safe to say
that no such ponderous or gorgeous
production was ever attempted in this
city. With over a ton of scenery
comprising seven beautiful sets, a
complete electric plant, and all of the
special mechanical effects it is made
spectacular surprise. The awe-in-
spring Brocken scene, with all its
wonders and concluding with the
wonderful "shower of fire." when the
whole stage will be bathed in a tor
rent Of liquid molten metal, will be
given in its entirety. The company
is one Of the finest on the road, head
ed by Mr.. George Learock, whose
performance of "Mephiste" is said to
be unequalled. Miss Isabel Lewis
makes a charming Marguerite, and
Mr.. Doughty an ideal "Faust."

Mrs. Catharine Kline celebrated
her eighty first birthday on Wednes-

arrive early and by eleven o'clock
about sixty persons had gathered at

good things. All enjoyed the delicious
dinner served and went away feeling
that they had spent delightful day,
wishing Mrs. Kline many happy re-
turns of her birthday.

NORTHUMBERLAND NAIL WORKS
Not to be Rebuilt on the Old Sight.

Anxious Observation-Disclosures, who
now realize the pecuniary worth of
this destroyed plant, have recently
learned from the proprietors of the
nail works that they are now consider
ing other locations upon which to
build. A reporter of the Public Press
was recently told by Mr.. Van Allen,
the president of the company, that
the pudding furnaces, rolls, the large
engine and other machinery. which
were damaged very much, will be en-
closed in temporary building, and
will remain idle until an improvement
in the iron business would warrant the
turning of this portion of the works
into bar iron mill.
The insurance men adjusted the
insurance on the destroyed works last
week. There were nineteen different
policies. The total amount allowed
by the various companies was $46,-
SI3.6I. The destroyed works were
insured for only one third their real
value.
Van Allen & Co. have been made
liberal offers from business men in
Bellefonte, Lock Haven, Lewisburg,
Danville and Sunbury, to go to any
one of those places, which are to be
had at low prices. Perhaps Blooms
burg has an offer to make them.

Suspicion Aroused.

The peculiarities of certain type
of insurance companies find judicial
recognition in late Pennsylvania
case in which the court says: "Of
course the alleged fraud on the COM
pany was not discovered while the
premiums were being regularly paid.
1t was only when the company was
called upon to perform its part of the
contract that the alleged fraud was
unearthed. 1t does sometimes happen
that demand on certain kinds of
insurance companies to pay losses
will excite suspicion and arouse their
virtuous indignation when everything
else has failed"
