and he hurried back to apprise Mrs.

Nervous dyspeptics often do not

symptoms Of stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitatee and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches, still others are
troubled with loss Of flesh and appe.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Thc spoeob delivered at
Guildford yesterday by Mr.. w. s. J.. Brodrick,
Under secretary Of State for War, foreshndow'
ing some OF the governmental policy in Parlia-
ment, in which he said that the Government
would ask in 1903 for an increase OF the army
by 30 per cent, Is being widely commented
upon. lie complained of the costly inefiCicncy
of tho army, and said that when 1t was ncrcs'
sary TO send an extra battery or an additional
battalion abroad nearly three weeks were spent
in finding the men.
Inc " cstntfnstcr Gazette says that the money
for the proposed increase will be granted when
1t is proved that the country is getting the value
OF It's present expenditures. The ErcntnD Neus
taxes a similar view of tho subject. The st.
J"meSs Gosctc, however, is in favor OF the
proposal. There Is likely to be n fine surplus In
the budget, tho paper says. and nothing would
be more popular than to make the question of
army reform the chief business of Parliament
for the next session.
The Globe declares that the whole military
machinery is out Of gear, because the force at
home Is $4,000 less than the force abroad.
Were an emergency TO suddenly arise" 1t
says. Great Britain would DO almost rs Ill
prepared to meet 1t as she was when the Crimean
war began"
The Chronicle says it understands that tho
Government will ask for an extra credit Of
Rl,6oo,0oo during the coming year in behalf Of
tho army, which will DO increased by the addi-
ton Of IL 900 men.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE Sun.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE Internationa Leprosy
Conference. which has been in session for a
week, expects to conclude its delibera-
tions on Saturday. The discussions have
been interesting, but comparatively lit.
tie has been added to the knowledge
of the disease. except what was contained in a
statement by DIR. Babes of Bucharest. who
proved to the satisfaction of his audience that
leprosy bacilli were found in great abundance
in mucus. which. accordingly, was a dangerous
channel OF infection.
Another debate resulted in a concurrence of
opinion that leprosy was not specifically a skin
but a general disease. Opinion was divided AS
to whether it was discovered inside or outside
the cells. The Director of the Washington
Laboratory of Hygiene said he was convinced
that it could be found both inside and outside.
There was much discussion as to the treat
ment of the disease, especially experiments In
its treatment with serum. All the experiments
had been without result. except in one case,
where the outcome is in doubt.
The conference appointed a commission TO
prepare plans for the formation OF an interna.
tional leprosy society. Prof. virchow is the Pres.
ident of the commission, and DR.. Dyer OF New
Orleans is a member.
