NEW TEST FOR TYPHOID.
Recent Discovery by DR.. Hiss, of New
York Board OF Health

Recent Discovery by DR.. Hiss, OF New
York Board OF Health.
The New York Tribune describes new
test for typhoid, made By DR.. Hiss of
the department of bacteriology, of the
New York board Of health.
Hitherto there have only been two
ways Ct determining q case Of typhoid.
The first method is by the physical symp-
toms or the patient, II clinical study of
his condition. But this has always been
unsatisfactory, because until the disease
is ten days old symptoms are not TO be
depended upon. What seem TO be "ty.
phnid symptoms" ulay easily mean some
thing else. '')iose spots" for example,
are IA good test, but these are absent ir
fully 30 per cent of the cases of actual
typhoid. Even symptoms thai are
characteristics may mean only malaria
or something of tha5 sort 1t follows
that it is seldom that doctor can be GER
tain until the eighth day at the earliest.
ana this delay may mean that death will
result.
Nor has the Vidal system, test de-
vscd by IL scientist of Vienna, actually
di scovered, it is said, by Robert Pfeier,
of Berlflin, Rocks assistant. given salts.
factory altogether. 1t helps along. but
is not aliogs ther conclusive. The Vidal
test is an examination of the blood A
drop OF blood or serum is taken from the
ear lobe or the finger tip ssof II suspected
patient, and mixed with pure typhoid
culture. a bit of the mixture is put
under a microscopic slide. If there is
typhoid in the blood, or if the patient has
had typhoid in his system AT any time
within five years, the bacll introduced
from typhoid culture, as can be seen
plainly through the lens, gather into
groups.
If there is nc typhoid at all, the baccilli
move about violently. Yet this test, ia
nous as iJ is, is not altogether accurate.
1t Is good to confirm, but not su liicient as
the sole evidence. Besides, it never alb
solutely proves the actual presence of ty.
phoid 1t may simply indicate past
condition, and can never be made to be
exact.
Inasmuch ns typhoid fever is believed
to he bacterial malady the medical pro-
fession have naturally sought some way
of finding, in II patient, the specific bac-
cillus of the disease, Just as they do of
diphtheria or tuberculosis. But typhoid
germs are to be found only in the intes-
tines, If found at all. Unfortunately,
there is another microbe (the colon bacil-
lus) which haults the same region, re-
sembles the typhoid bacillus very closely
in appearance, but is absolutely harm
less. II, therefore, in matter thrown off
from patients digestive tract, either
species is found, it Is very difficult to tell
whether it is OF the baleful or the inno-
cent sort. What has long been wanted

WHAT is LIFE 2
A Discovery. by Prof. Gates, Of
Washington, Which Answers
the Question.
An Interesting Subject.

"Whnt is liie:'' This question has been
asked during all ages, ut it has never
until now been successfully answered.
Professor Elmer Gates, of Washington,
| who has heeu making great experiments
with the microscope, has made virtually
n double microscope: i'll other words he
brings the image of the first microscope
on the lens, which picture CT the leus is
enlarged by the second microscope, so
thar many thihgs which it is impossible
to see with an ordinary microscope are
revealed. In this way he is enabled to
see the smallest cells of the body in an
exceedingly large form. He says: "Cut
Il piece of protoplasm into number of
pieces and each piece will still he alive, ~
thus proving that the germs CT life exist
in even the minutest particle EFF the body.
But he goes farther and says that he
believes mind is life, and that mind is
present i'll every particle of the body.
This is new, "a startling, II wonderful
theory and it may lead To IL revolution on
the subject of disease, health and of hap
piness 1t explains clearly one thing aud
that is, why the mind is frequently
affected when the body is tisortlered, and
it brings home tie question of health or
! disease very forcibly.
1t becomes plain that in order to have
clear head and a strong mind, one must
have IL body that is in perfect condition
When the body is deranged the mind can
not work rightly. With pains in the
back, nausea, WEAKNESS, bearing down
sensations and all the symptoms indicat-
ing Il weakened condition Of the Kidneys
and urinary organs, there is certain TO he

great, modern discovery that is certain to
put the cell tissues in perfect shape
There is such discovery and it is doing
more to counterfeit pain and establish
health than anything known to modern
times. In speaking Of it DR.. William
Edward Robson, of London, says: II en-
phatically state that have haen able to
give more relief and effect more cures by
the use of Warmers Safe Cure than by
all the medicines in the British pllarma-
copTia." DR.. r. A. Gum, dean OF the
United States Medical College, says IL
prescribe and use Warmers Safe Cure in
beth acute and chronic Brioht's disease
and commend it most frankly"
Such statements should convince any
man or woman that there is no need of
farther suffering, If n prompt use is made
OF the remedy that is commended so
highly.

Is test that would diiferentiatc one bac-

that he has discovered one and the health
board has enough confidence in it to

What DIR. Hiss has done has been to de-
Wis, Il culture medium in which typhoid
germs will multiply and the colon bac-
cillus will not. This took Il great amount
of experimenting, but it now seems to
have been successfully accomplished.
The culture is composed OF gelatine. agar

The fact that the Roanoke Choral So
ciety has again resumed its rehearsals
after its last most excellent concert is a
good omen for the pcrmanency of it's or.
ganization. Heretofore, all such must
cal oil quotations in our city have been of
most ephemeral character q Jtten up
usually for some special occasion, az soon
as its purpose has been accomplished,
they have disbanded, thus leaving Il city
of twenty thousand inhabitants without
anything in the nature of a local musical
club. Already the choral has been in ex-
istence over year, its weekly meetings
having been kept up even during the
heated term of the summer months, and
most enjoyable mnsicales. The Chorals
next effort will be perhaps something of
II more pretentous nature since it pur-
poses taking up the 'Messiahn for study.
The value of such an organization in Il
community is haru to overestimate.
There are few people who are not at least
appreciative OF music, whether or not
they have the talent of rendering it, It's
influence is for gocd only, appealing rs it
does to all that is gentlest and most
aesthetic in our natures, so that the MEM
bers of such II society become, to n certain
extent, public benefactors In order to
accomplish the best result systematic
work is necessary, and how hard it often
becomes to keep up an interest among it's
members only those who have had the
charge of such an organization can fully
appreciate We Lave repeatedly heard il
said that Ii oanoke has little musical tai
cnt, and while il may be true that there
are TO individual voices in our city that
would ever attain any celebrity of note,
yet Mr.. Scatchard, the director of the
Choral, has at least succeeded in getting
together large number of good voices,
whose itout ensemble" under intelligent
and skillful instruct On, succeeds in rem
dering good music in pleasing and
effective manner. It's many friends in our
city congratulate the Choral on the
work already done, and wish for it an in
creased and widening sphere of useful
