HOT WATER APPLICATIONS.
Excellent Eject on sprained Joints, Crush

The great utility which NJ. Reclus, a
Paris surgeon, has shown that hot water
applications have in mary surgical and
even medical cases Is described In the New
York Heralds European edition as really
surprising. Hot water baths are particu-
larly useful In the treatment of sprains,
where the sprained joint is put in band

age should be elastic. 1t should not be so
tightly applied as to cause the patient dis
comfort, but should be made to fit snugIy

twice day, night and morning, and then

lowing way; The sprained joint is put In

But the most important use of hot wa

crushed limbs, in which he does not resort
TO amputation, but subjects the injured
limb to a spray Of water at temperature
of about lao degrees +. This method has
several advantages especially those "of
being less fatal than the treatment by i'm
mediate operation, and OF preserving for
the patient, II not the whole limb, at any
rate a much greater length than would
have remained after an amputation.

vertise to all mankind our impotence and
our folly.
The concession that comes from the
gold standard mon OF Europe for the
restoration Of the double standard is the
only solution of the financial difficulties
that we can find In the outlook before us.
The declaration of the English premier
"nd the French minister and the Russian
government, which have been recently ex-
pressed, shows that II II succeeds at all It
will succeed against the sinister power of
autocracy, which has been used against It,
An international agreement for the
restoration of the metals to an equality
would be bond of mankind which would
enable us to regulate the value OF money
and bring the two metals upon parity
Alexander Hamilton, the great secretary
of the treasury under Washington, under
stood this question. He framed the first
financial act Of this country which was
passed in 1902, fixing the unity of our
currency upon both sides, for a double
reason, first, that to exclude one would re-
duce 1t to a mere merchandise, and the
other, that IL would involve the difference
between q scanty and n full circulation.
Thomas jefferson knew this when he en-
dorsed the work of Hamilton, and George
Washington knew this when he approved
Il. Daniel Webster knew this when he
declared that silver and gold are the legal
StanuaruS, ana tnaJ neltner congress nor
any state has any right to establish any
standard or to displace this one.
General Grant knew this when he
looked to silver as a resource of payment
and found, to his sastonishment, that Re
publican congress had demonetized IL and
that he himself, as president, had unwit-
tingly signed the bill. The whole United
States now know this, and they know also
that they who would be free themselves
must strike the blow. Cheers. The ma
jority of this convention, have the honor
here to represent 1t, maintain that this
great American nation, with natural
base of fixed empire, the greatest ever es-
tablished by man, with more territory
and more productive energy than Great
Britain, France and Germany combined,
without dependence upon European ma
tions for anything that they produce and
with European nations dependent upon
much that we produce is fully capable of
restoring this constitutional money sys-
TEN of gold and silver at equity with each
other. Applause And as our fathers
in 1776 declared our national independ-
ence of all the world, so today has the

Jefferson, the author of that declaration,
appeared here in Chicago to declare the
financial independence of the United
States of all other nations and to invoke
all true Americans to assert IL by their
suffrages at the polls, that our country
may be placed where she, by right, be-
longs, as the freest as the foremost, as
the most prosperous and happy nation
that ever blessed the life of mankind upon
