Some Odd Inventions.

A very odd inventor was the famous
Drummond of Hathornden; of such fin
ished oddity, indeed, that he appears
TO have forgotten all about his Won
derful notions after publishing them
IN the most conspicuous form possible
The tale has been diversely interpreted; !;
we have room only for a mere hint of
the facts. Drummond was a poet, of
wide culture, of the most amiable dis
position; well born and we'll to do: that
is, man whom one would not suspect
of mechanical inclinations. Nor has
any evidence been found to suggest
that he had secret leaning that way.
But suddenly the realm of Scotland
learned that this gentle scholar was
prepared to turn out military engines
of the most awful turbulence in great
variety. There could be no question
Of the fact, for his gracious majesty
Charles I. announced it in a solemn
proclamation dated Hampton Court,
the last day but one of the month of
September" 1926. In that document
Drummond undertook to produce six
teen machines specified, and he had
mot a few inventions besides" They
all had long Greek names very
characteristic touch-but he was good
enough to translate them for the con-
venience of the vulgar. The descrip-

the quaint effect is lost in abbreviation.

After ten of these horrid marvels, We
proceed to scientific invention; as the
Anerometron for calcuiatHlS lhe

of craft which can sail against ADVERSE

nostilion. etc. The list ends With one
"organic machine producing from
natural and never-wearied cause per-
natua, notion" which receives the
name Aeikinetos, the eternal mover.
Every line of the voluminous papers
which Drummond left has been scanned
srain and again by admiring editors
and biographers, and it can be asserted
that no shadow of allusion TO this ex-
traordinary announcement can be
found among them. But there it is,
among the state papers, without pos
sibility of error-"our faithful subjec.

The great success of the treatment of
our daughter Oracle gave US hope, and
we both put ourselves under the treat
1nent of these doctors. Mrs. Tower thus
describes her condition at the time she
began treatment:

the region of my heart with difficulty in
breathing. II | ascended a stairway or

L suffered a great deal / had severe nau-
sea and bloating of the stomach My
head and throat gave me great trouble.
/ suffered severely with nervousness. My
appetite became poor. l lost flesh very
decidedly. My feet and limbs would swell
until the swelling extended up into my
body. This produced such oppression that
my condition became alarming.
Mr.. Tower also describes his sufferings.
For years / had had neuralgia and rheu-
matism, with severe nervous prostration.
It had made such inroads into my consti-
tuition that | was physically and mentally
unfit for any work or business. But to
make a long story short, We both began
taking treatment at the Neagie Medical
Institute about the same time. The medi-
cines we took began to relieve Us from the
Very first, and We can truthfuiy say tnat
we never before in our lives had a treat
ment that benefited much. We have
gone for a short while to Los Angeles
because our business interests call us
there. but hope soon to return to Sacra-
mento, for that city and the Neagle Med
ical Institute will always have warm
place in our hearts, for it was there that
our dear daughter was restored to good
health and our own health SO much BEN
efited. 1t is with pleasure that we give
this statement 10 DR.. Neagle. and hope
by its publication that it will induce 9TH
ers who are afflicted to go TO the Neagle
NJ edical Institute for treatment, for we be-
lieve that they will be cured. Our ad-

Though bleak is the hillside and brown
