How The Pubh6

BEWARE OF FRAUDS.
For The Sake of Profit They Will

Unscrupulous dealers are try
ing to sell ordinary Glauber Salt
or a mixture of Seidlitz Powder
as Artificial Carlsbad Salt"
"Sprudel Salt" German Salt"
and under other similar names.
The natural remedies of Carls-
bad cannot be initiated.
Artihcially made wines will
never replace the natural juice
of the grapes. Neither can the
natural waters of Carlsbad, nor
the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt be re-
placed by the cheap substitutes
offered to gui!eless public for
the sake of the larger profit
made thereon, by these unscru-
pulous dealers.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Waters
are specific for all diseases of
the stomach, liver and kidneys,
and have been used with great
benefit by hundreds of thou
sands of people. The Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated
from the Sprudel Water at Carls-
bad, is an excellent Aperient,
Laxative and Diuretic: is an al
terative and elilninative remedy,
which dissolves tenacious bile,
allays irritation, and removes
obstruction by aiding nature. and
not by sudden and excessive ir-
ritation, as most cathartics do.

x RAYS AND BADNESS.

n western Mans Unpleasant Expert
enee mt a Long Sitting.
From the Baltimore American.
William Levy Of Eau Claire. Wis. who
recently had an X ray examination of his
skull made by Professor Frederick s. Jones
at the physical laboratory of the Minnesota
State University. had an experience in con-
sequence not generally supposed to accom-
peny that process.
Levy was shot in the head about ten
years ago by on escaping bank defaulter
The bullet had been somewhere in his head
ever since, and in July he made up his
mind to have it located Accordingly he
came up and sat from o'clock in the
morning till 10 at night for a Roentgen ray
picture of his head. The bullet had passed
into his skull just above the left ear going
toward the back of the head.
After taking q couple of negatives, they
finally found where the bullet was located.
The doctors wrapped his head up in wires,
which were definitely located. A picture
was taken through the skull from the
flcnt toward the back of the head. the tube
fro m which the rays radiated being for
this purpose, placed inside his mouth. The
picture thus secured showed the bullet very
distinctly to be lying at the junction Of two

occipital bone. 1t indicated also that the
bullet had struck the back of the skull
the bullet. being further from the plate,
showed DINNER on the negative. These ex-
posures had taken up nearly the whole
day, but the patient felt no bad effects at
the time. He had been warned that the
experiment might cause him the loss of his
hair, but that did not deter him from TAX
ing the risk. A very strong current, about
100000 volts. had been passed through the
tube In making the exposure.
The next day Mr.. Levy began to notice a
peculiar effect en- his skin wherever II had
been most exposed to the rays, and the hair
on the righ: side of his head, which had
be en- near the wire, began to fall out. In a
few days the right side of his head was
perfectly bald, his right ear had swollen
to twice its natural size, and presented the
same appearance as If very badly frozen.
Sores were visible on his head: his mouth
and throat were blistered go that he could
not eat solid food for three weeks. and his
lips were swollen, cracked and bleeding. In
fact, the long exposure of the x rays.
while giving him no pain at the time,
seemed to have produced very similar ef-
fects to very severe burn.
Mr.. Levy has recovered from the effects
of hts burns, but he still has half a bald
head. He is a plucky man. about thirty
years of age, and intends to have the in
vestigations carried further and the bull
let removed He has already written to
Pre- fessor Jones. asking for another sitting.
1t Is necessary now to have negative
showing how far below the surface the
bullet is located before the doctors decide
whether the operation can be safely per-

Treating the Stomach by Electricity.

The application of electric current in the
treatment of nervous diseases of the s;om-
ach has always heretofore been attended
with both risk and discomfort. 1t was nec-
essary to apply only small doses. which had
to be under perfect control. Some expert
ments in France have demonstrated that
this can now be done The current is ap-
piled directly to the affected organ by
means of d special electrode. which the pa
tient passes into his stomach This consists
of a rubber tube one inch thick which has
at its lower end vulcanite tip, and which
contains CO: Quoting wire. The patient
nrst drinks two glasses OF lukewarm water
and then the electrode is introduced and
attached to the negative pole of the bat
terry. From l5 TO ~ milliamperes of current
are employed for five minutes. The treat
ment has been so successful that French
electrotherapists now look upon ii as one
or the standard treatments for nervous dts.

There is considerable indignation in
some quarters at the action of the gov

wholly upon rumor without proper justi-
hcation and is an insult to the civil

test against the presence of the militia in

There was much talk of this kind
among the Black burn men. Some of

administrations, the people of Kansas are
suffering from too much redemption,
and we stand ready to aid our brothers
in other counties in relieving the state
of the Republican combination of imbe-
cility and dishonesty now IN charge OF

creasing taxation imposed upon our peo-
pie res specting both county and township
officers, we demand the repeal of all
laws allowing fees to public officers, and
a reduction in all salaries of county OIL
cials.
THAT we denounce the conduct OF the
present Republican superintendent OF
insurance in going outside of his official
duties and making a false, malicious and
unwarranted attack on the fraternal in
surance companies of Kansas; we charge
that this was done in the interest of the
old line companies for the purpose of
robbing the citizens of Kansas, to the
number of 75,OOO families, who are now
protected by the fraternal life insurance
at actual cost, without paying tribute
to the eastern life insurance companies"

WASHINGTON. March 16.-The first as

the reduction of Topeka's carrier force
two carriers. This is the result of recent
inspection, which is said to show that
enough time is now wasted by carriers

force. The postmaster is directed to
present plan of reorganization on these
lines.
"We have received no notification of
this, yet" said Superintendent of Car

imagine why we should be subject to a
reduction when we need the men we
have so badly. We make more
money for the government at
this postofice than they do at
Atchison, Leavenworth, Kansas City,
Kansas, and Wichita combined. Still
we have only twenty-one carriers. At
Kansas City they have the same num-
ber. 1t has been little more than a year
since we succeeded in getting liberty to
put on the twentyfirst carrier"

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Chief JUS
tice Fuller in the United States supreme
court today handed down the decision
of the court in the case of the people of
the State Of California against the Cen
trail Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad
companies involving the right of the
state to tax the franchises of those roads.
The railroads resisted taxation on the
ground that their franchises were de-
rived from the national government a s
we'll as from the state authorities and
were inseparable.
The court decided against this view,
holding that the railroads owe their ex-
istence as corporations to the state and
that they are subject to the state laws in
the respect of taxation.
The chief Justice said the state fran
chises never had been merged in the
federal franchises, and they were as
legitimately subject to taxation as the
roadbeds of the companies.
Justice Field read a adissenting opinion.
He said the position taken in the major
ity opinion was absurd and untenable.
