gone from this room across the hall to
Mrs. Harrison's room. No trace of

bility, weakened powers and exhausted
vigor can now take new hope. Here is
something which will powerfully inter
est them. II is fact that until now

not be lost DIR. Greene of 80 West

perience and wonderful success in
treating and curing such cases, as to
just what to do to get cured. All this
will cost you nothing, and you can thus
have consultation with the best known
physician and acknowledged most sue
cessful specialist in the world without

ever. The doctor is the discoverer of
that greatest Of medicines, DR. Greene's

sionary and church work.

tion on the part of Mr.. Luckey assures
the church of the continued work and
presence OF their well beloved pastor,

such deep interest, and which has
met with notable continued growth and

In The World of Science.

|: DIR. Martin Barr, chief physician at the
Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble
Minded Children, is the author of an ar
ticle of unusual interest, which appeared in
recent number of the Ailiaist and Neu-
relegist, a quarterly journal devoted to
mental and nervous disease. The paper
which was read at Congress of notable
physicians at New Haven, Conn.,, is on
Moral Paranoia, peculiar form of menta
disease known as moral imbecility; for as
there are physical dwarfs and mental idiots,
science has come to recognize moral idiots
or imbeciles also. and from these unfortu-
mates we get our worst class of criminals,
persons in whom the moral sense is totally
lacking, or if present. so imperfectly de-
veloped as to be quite as dangerous. DIR.
Barr demonstrates the theory that crime
is q disease, and shows how scoiety is en-
dangered by the freedom allowed to the
moral imbecile. The article is not only
well and forcibly written, but shows care
full research and gives great deal of valu.
able information. DR.. Barr has made some
valuable contributions toscientific literature
and is doing great work in practical hu-
manitarianism. He is worthy descend
ant, of long line of notable physicians.
and. his many friends here, the home of his
childhood, take great pleasure and par
donable pride in his recognized ability.
