The oval electrode which has been

gives far more favorable results than
when used later, so that many cases are

preciable impairment of the vision. 1t

scope, then the wound through the eye

A NEW TRIAL GRANTED
PART OF DYING STATEMENT AN OPINION


The Supreme court today handed
down an opinion in the case Of the
State of Utah vs. j. b. Darlington,
reversing the cause and granting a
new trial. The opinion was delivered
by Justice Bartch and concurred in by
Justice Miner and District Judge Ililes.
The defendant in this case was In
dlcted for murder and was tried for
murder in the second degree. for pro-
curing an abortion on Ida Page. The
defense objected to the indictment
because 1t was found by n grand jury
of seven members, and claimed that
the law authorizing it was unconsu-
tutlonal. The court holds that this
law is constitutional, and also that the
court did not err in refusing to grant
a change of venue. The only reversi-
Bile error found by the court was In the
admission OF certain evidence relating
to the opinion Of person in dying
declaration. on this point the court
sage the most serious question pre-
scented ia the one relating to matters Of
opinion in the dying declarations. The
portions OF the written statement
material here rends: DE- j. Il. car
rington performed an operation on me
at Brigham City, Utah, on or about the
9Th day OF October, 1895. for the pur-
pose of performing an abortion, etc"
The court holds that the expressions,
"for the purpose of performing an
abortion" etc, being merely the opin-
ion of the witness, ought to have been
excluded, and that this admission in
evidence was prejudicial error. The
cause Is reversed and remanded with
directions to grant n new trial.

CONSERVATIVES HEADS.
A Medical Man Says That rs a Rule They
Are Flat Sided,


Consunptives have fiat sided heads
This interesting discovery has been
made by DIR. Mark l. Knapp Of New
York His paper on the subject, read
before the New York County Medical
association, is printed in The Medical
Record
One of the conclusions of DIR. Knapp
is that tuberculosis can neither be in
fictitious nor communicable This is the
opinion held by DIR. Shrady, editor of
The Medical Record, and is the opinion
not held by DIR. Wilson and his associ-
ates of the Now York city board of
health.
However this deduction is regarded
by medical men generally, DR. Knapp
does not intend TO be understood as say
ing that the fact that man has fiat
sided head (called medically plano
parietal head) either already has or that
he of necessity is doomed to have tuber-
culosis. That this assumption would be
absurd DR. Knapp shows by saying that
centenarians and athletes are recruited
from the ranks Of the plano parietals
Nor does he wish to be understood as
meaning that tuberculosis modifies the
contour of head which previously had
been of different shape. DR.. Knapp
says his statements are substantiated by
few hundred cases. of which AT were
collected from four New York hospitals
In all these cases only four exceptions
to the rule We're found.
The most important conclusion
reached by Dr. Knapp is that the foun.
dation of tuberculosis is laid in carly
dfe, and therefore the way to save the
adult is to guard the child

This strip of silk is also used in the
