Other roads showed gain of a point or

Northern Pacific preferred and Southern

resource against the advancing tendency

vived the persistent. claims that the divi-

the directors on next Monday. The stock
thetic declines were shown in Delaware
and Hudson and the Reading stocks. but
the latter recovered, the first preferred
showing net gain. The bears also sys-
tematically worked on the apprehensiOns
of holders of other classes of securities
as to the far-reaching effects of the SUI
preme court decision, arguing that the
plan of operations of nearly every cor
poration whose securities are dealt in was
given by the American Tobacco company

Between the true and false vocal cords
are the ventricles; bunch of mucous
glands occupy the space, discharging their
contents through the sixty or seventy tu-
bues to Mbricate the true vocal cords.
The mucous membrane covering them
contains no mucous secreting mechanism;
hence, but for this very special provision.
the cords would soon become dry and
useless. a l..t -
The entire larynx, of course, is lined
with mucous membrane, and hence Is
very liable to cold, when the voice be-
comes rough and hoarse. Catarrh is the
cause of hoarseness, and when the voice
is lost there is more or less swell
ing of the mucous membrane covering
the true vocal cords. If the catarrh Is
not timely cured, there Is danger Of ul-
ceration, and when one Is in the least
loses of the larynx is sure to set in, which,
sooner or later, must extend to the lungs
with fatal results. -, .,,..,r..4.,,
The best treatment for all durable dis
eases of the larynx, including catarrh,
is Pe-ru-na. 1t should be taken in doses
of a teaspoonful, repeated every hour dur
ing the day. During the last thirty seven
years / have used no other remedy In the
treatment of this organ for catarrh, ulcer
alton, Group and diphtheria. For the lat
ter two diseases 1 repeat the dose FREE
quently every fifteen minutes for the first
hour or two. However, In Group ana
diphtheria a physician should always be
employed to attend the case, as fatal re-
suits might occur. -, $50

DIR. Hartmann had lost my voice en-
tirely for seven years, during all of which
time never spoke q loud word. My lungs
were very weak; had consumption, my
pulse 100; and / could not walk without
support and then only few steps. Ey-
ery one, as well as myself, though It
would be but a few days to my, grave, l
called on you without the least hope. You
said YOU could cure me. took your treat
ment and in three months talked as well
as ever, and have been doing 50 ever s,r
and work ali day. You are a wonderful
physician (The treatment was solely re-
ru-na.) Il 4dF JOSEPH HOPKINS

Fig. 1 is the epiglottis; 2, the thyroid
cartilage; 3, the crico-thyroid ligament.
1t is through this ligament that the
larynx is opened for the removal of for
eign bodies in the trachea and larynX;
and for the removal of false membranes
in Group; 4. the cricod cartilage.
Looking at it from above, it reminds
one of looking into the gable Of house
with the end removed, the roof forming
the two sides, meeting in front, forming
Adams Apple. The garnet floor the
third side of the larynx, forming the back
wall. In the middle of the larynx, as
you see by looking through there is Il
partition tightly closed while l put the
organ on a stretch from front to back;
but when l push on those parts you see
an opening, narrow in front and wide
behind, the sides being white, shining
and very smooth. These are the true
tween them is called the Rima Glottidis
The lower end of the larynX, you notice,
is round where it unites with the trachea
Anatomically, it is formed of nine car
tilages, nine ligaments, nine muscles and
four vocal cords. The two front sides
are formed of one cartilage, forming both
sides, called the thyroid cartilage Be
low, the cricoid cartilage articulates with
the thyroid above and the trachea below.
The back part or tine crlcOlQ cartlluBe Is
quite wide, passing up behind and form
ing the floor or posterior side of the
larynx, and on top of this cartilage are
the two arytenoid cartilages, triangular
in form, and completing the posterior wall
of the organ. The epiglottis is situated
above the larynx, formed of cartilage
and covered by mucous membrane. Its
only function is to fall back and cover
the larynx, while swallowing, that no
food or drink can enter it. The nine lig-
aments unite these carriages and hold
them in their proper places. Six of them
| form regular joints containing synovial
| fluid and allowing considerable move
ment. The muscles extending from one
cartilage to the other control the move
| ments they undergo during speaking and
singing.
The four vocal cords are known as the
two false and the two true vocal cords.
The false vocal cords are formed by a
duplicate of the mucous membrane, en-
closing in each delicate fibrOus band.
They extend from the inside of Adams
Apple back to the middle of the arytenoid
cartilages. They have no connection
with the production of the voice.
| The true vocal cords, placed about
an eighth iof an inch below the false,
are two strong, fbrous, white, elastic
bands. covered by thin, white mucous
membrane. They are attached in front to
the thyroid cartilage on the inner side
