The most interesting physician OF
the present time in Europe is Herr
Asst, the shepherd doctor. who pre-
scribes for thousands of patients at
Radbruoh. He diagnoses disease by
examining a lock of the patients
hair, and his universal charge for ad-
vice is about a quarter Of dollar.
Clients wait patiently the whole day
through to see him, even in bad
weather, and if by the time he retires,
near midnight, they have failed to
have an audience with him, they take
up their posts uncomplainingly the
next morning. The waiting line is
like that for symphony tickets in Bos
ton. The doctors patients are re-
ferred to by the skeptical as "Ast's
sheen"

HE NEEDS NOTFAITH
Bradley Newell Cures By Laying
On of His Hands.
Does Not Understand His Power
"Sman Voice" Told Him of.

JACKSONVILLE, w., Feb. 1I-lf Bradley
Newell hadn't heard buZzing sound
In his right ear one sultry day last August
while he was at work at his anvil, and II a
still, small voice hadn't whispered something
TO him, he would probably have remained
what he was, an obscure blacksmith instead
OF becoming the best-known man in south
ern Vermont.
Up to that time he had been working
quietly working at his trade-that is, as
quietly as any man can work at blacksmith
ing-making a comfortable living for him
self and family, and with not the remotest
idea that he would become famous as a
healer. His services have been sought by
hundreds in this and the adjoining towns,
and he receives letters from all over the
United States beseeching his aid.
Some o, his cures have been really re-
markable and some of his attempts have
failed. He has accomplished enough, how
ever. to make his name household word
through all this section of the country.
There is great difference between Schlatter
and Newell. The former thought he was
Christ, and the latter is sure that he is only a
| blacksmith. Schlatter cured only by the
| help of God. Newell makes no pretentions
of supernatural aid. Faith on the part OF
the patient is usually required by mind heal
ers. Newell doesn't ask his patient to exer-
else any faith. In fact, those who have the
most faith often got left. He just takes hold
OF the patients hands, and the cure is ef-
tected- sometimes It's a strange and in
teresting story and everybody in this lovely
Green mountain village can tell you all
about it, Some believe. Some scofl. Some
say it is the work of the devil. Some claim
| 1t is only imagination. Some think it is
spiritualistic.
| Jacksonville is in the narrow valley of the
North river. and the situation is most ro-
mantle and picturesque. A saw mill and
Newells blacksmith shop are the principal
Industries of the place. The inhabitants
lead very quiet lives, and the development
Of Newell's healing powers has been god

The Chicago Times Herald exclaims

The Chicago Times s-Herald exclaims
"Little Switzerland led the way to

Watch South Africa, watch Australia,

phenol, in effective dosage, was believed to
cause poisonous symptoms. This was
equivalent to saying there must be some
form in which the phenol could be injected
in effo ctive dosage which would aid nature
in her efforts to effect a cure, and which
would be tolerated by the human system.
Moreover, it was apparent to me that
phenol being the only known antiseptic
agent, except to homologue, creosol, OF
which the amount in the system is increased
during disease. would be the best to select
for experimental purposes, to the exclusion
OF any other. When we follow nature along
her efforts to effect cure, we cannot go far
wrong.
The problem before me then was to find
the form of solution of phenol which nature
would tolerate. The result of many months
of experimental work in the laboratory was
the production of the preparation to which
the name aseptolin has been given, and
which has already been used by many physi-
clans with the most satisfactory results"

That the sea as a vocation is losing
its charms for the American sailor is
manifested very plainly in the last re-
port of the Commissioner of Naviga.
tion, laments the Chicago Times
Herald. More than nine-tenths OF
our mercantile marine is composed of
foreigners, principally Scandinavians.
Those daring Norsemen still love the
sea and cling to it, and they may be
found in the merchant vessels and the
natives of every Nation of the world.
But the American sailor mas practi-
cally disappeared. The men who in
1912 made the American flag the pride
of the ocean and carried it triumph
antly into every corner of the sea, the
men who made the names of the Con
stitution, this Macedonian and the
Constellation glorious forever, are
no longer being recruited f1csa the
merchant navy.

ments around the city after the supper hour.

SITTING THE EVIDENCE.
Venezuelan Commission Delayed in
Receiving Presentations of Case.

WASHINGTON. D. G., Feb 1.-THE Venez-
uelan commission has turned the first
month of its existence. Considerable prog
ress has been made in the preliminary
study Of the case. Justice Brewer and Judge
Alvey have temporarily abandoned their
court duties and have devoted their entire
time to the accumulation and examination
of evidence.
Andrew d. White and Judge Alvey have
pursued q systematic search through the vast
collections of the congressional library, de-
veloping uexpected valuable side lights on
the contention as well as data bearing di-
rectly upon the problem of finding the true
divisional line, while justice Brewer has
been working over the documents and books
of reference presented by the state depart
meDt.
The delay in receiving the Venezuelan
case has caused the commission some an
noyances The great map, upon which the
commission will draw 1.-The true divisional
line between the republic of Venezuela and
British Guiana, is now in course of prepa-
ration, and will be an elaborate affair. 1t

of composite nature, the accuracy being veri-
fed by reducing various authentic maps to

EDSON'S CONSUMPTION CURE.
Description of Aseptolin. for Which
Much is Claimed

NEW YORK. Feb. ll-Aseptolin, the new
remedy for consumption. discovered by DIR.
Cyrus Edison. is being discussed public
ly. Ii was while studying phenol In hu-
man secretions last year that DIR. Edison
was struck with the fact that during disease
the quantity OF the solution was enormously
increased. He says:
This reasoning naturally led me to think
that phenol was selected by nature for the
cure of some, at least. II not all, of the So
called germ diseases. OF course, the con
clusion, which assumed great Importance in
my mind. was this; If nature herself pro-
vides phenol during disease, then it cannot
be possible she will not tolerate the admins
tratiOn of the agent in effective dosage.
Yet this fact stared me in the face, that

at $193, ,472,s9 The company's estimates
are shown to be on the low level line 1868, 1913,
