DISCUSSED ROMAN CATHOLICISM.
A Mild Sensation at the Methodist Confer
ence in Springfield Last Night.

Springfield. April 13.-The evening
session was enlivened with sensational
discussion on the report nf the committee
on Romanism, presented by N. 7.
Whitaker of Lynn, his associates heir
Hugh Montgomery and A. Ii. Herrlck AZ
In the preamble Of the report, it was
stated that the Catholic church has
succeeded IN securing political control
IN large number of cities, giving
strength to the superstition that it is the
object of the present Pope to secure tenn
poral power again. The report closed
with the following:
Resolved, That we, members of the
New England conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, do urge all Americans
to be alive to the lessons of history, and
not to be so absorbed in the advancement
OF personal interests. as to fail to oppose
the aggressions of political Il omanis1n.
We are unalterably opposed to all an.
preparations OF public money for seotarian
purposes. We commend the national
House of Representatives for it's recent
refusal to make such appropriations. We
earnestly request the United States
Senate to ratify this action OF the House
and Grover Cleveland, our president. to
give to it his sanction. We reaffirm our
hearty support of the American Dublic
school system. We ommend most hearth

in temperance and other moral reforms:
who accept as truth Gods word. whe,,
interpreted according to the dictation Of
their own Judgment and, while taking
their religion, do not take their politics

held.
Those present listened to a valuable
paper on the Roentgen process of

pneumogastrio nerve which even several
of the learned gentlemen themselves ad-

Laura McHenry, in the Ladies
Home Journal, says:
The headache par excellence
or rather ad hbttum among
women is the "sick headache
and by that l find is meant a
headache which is attended in
any stage of its action bv a
nausea, which increases until
vomiting ensues, when the pa
tents skin becomes naturally
moist again.
And yet every woman can
lessen the number and frequency
of her headaches by assisting
nature by natural means. The
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is
evaporated from the natural
waters of Carlsbad, taken early
in the morning before breakfast,
and if necessary at bedtime
(about half a teaspoonful dis
solved in a tunblerful of water),
will supply these means.
lti is an Alternative and elimina-
tive remedy, which dissolves ten
acious bile, allays irritation, and
removes distractions by aiding
nature, and not by sudden and
excessive irritation, as most ca
thartics do. lis of great benefit
in temporary and habitual con-
stipatioh, liver and kidney dis
eases, chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels, rheumatism
and govt, ETC., and should be
used early in the morning before
breakfast, specially during the
spring and summer months.

DIR. DOMAINS PAPER.
DR.. j. G. Donham, of Hebron, was
introduced to read paper on "Some
Disturbances of the Pneumogastric
Nerve" he discussed it under the fol.
loving topics:
Diseases and Symptoms peculiar to the
Pneumogastric Nerve and its Branches
The gastric disturbance OF the termi-
nails OF the gastric branch.
The differential diagnosis between
them and dyspeptio symptoms proper.
Exopthalmic Goitre disease of this
nerve.
Action and effects of baoilli through
their primary attack upon membranes
supplied BY this nerve.
Effects of the toxic product upon the
nerve by its examinations and upon its
great center etc.
The same OF La Grippe
The effects of atmospheric changes
upon some OF the diseases that have to do
with this nerve, showing that effects
upon the nerve may be more common
through changes in the character or
severity of the disease.
That these are not identical with sun

necessarily light at all, may be shown by

fact that the local Board of Health had

things do not improve there, said the
doctor the physicians will have to give
