The Wonderful
Carlsbad Springs.
An Eminent Physician Reads Paper
OF Great Interest Before the
international arledical
Congress.
At the Ninth International Medical Congress.

At the Ninth international Medical Congress,
DR.. a. L. Toboldt, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, read a
paper stating that out of thirty
cases treated with Carlsbad Water
and the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt,
for chronic constipation, hypo-
chondria, disease of the liver and
kidneys. jaundice, adiposis, dia-
betes, dropsy from valvular heart
disease, dyspepsia, catarrhal in
Aammation of the stomach, ulcer
of the stomach or spleen, children
with marasmus, govt, rheumatism
of the joints, gravel, ETC., twenty
six were entirely cured, three much
improved, and one not treated
long enough. Average time of
treatment, four weeks. In all of
these cases no particular diet was
prescribed. The doctor claims, in
conclusion of his paper, that the
Carlsbad Mineral Water, as ex-
ported by the city of Carlsbad,
being the natural product, is much
to be preferred where the guam
tity of water is no objection,
particularly in diseases of the
stomach Whenever the quantity
of water cannot be taken, the
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (genuine),
will answer equally as we'll. He
states that the effect of the water
and the Carlsbad Sprudel Salts to
be relied upon, independently of
any adjuncts of treatment, such as
diet and exercise, whether taken
hot or cold, claiming even an
advantage when taken cold, as it
acts more decidedly purgative.
and that he has given cold the
preference, only using the water
hot when less purgative action
is desired. The dose of the water
employed was two tumblerfuls be-
fore breakfast and one or two dur
ing the day. The dose of Salt is
a teaspoonful twice a day dis
solved in tumblerful of water.
Whenever a stronger action is
desired the genuine Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt should be used in
conjunction with the Carlsbad
Water. The genuine article is
bottled under the supervision OF
the city of Carlsbad, and has the
seal of the City and the signature
of "Eisner & Mendelson Co.,"
sole agents for the U. S., on the
neck Of every bottle. All others
are worthless limitations. The
genuine is never sold in bulk.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with table
of cases treated, will be mailed to
any address upon application to
the agents of the Carlsbad Spring.

Mr.. j. S. WHITES VIEWS.
He Thinks the Higher Criticism Is Out of
Place in the Pulpit.

Place in the Pulpit.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Disbelievers in the Bible, as whole,
as the Word of God, and work of divine
the higher critics in the sense in which
the term is now applied. On what
ground do skeptics base their un belief In
inspiration? Throughout the Old Testa-
ment she words are repeated, again and
again: "The Lord said," and "Thus
saith The Lord" He appeared, in per-
son, to some of the apostles, and sent
angel messengers to others. These facts,
alone, suggest why the Bible may well
be called "The Word of God,'' bat there
is stronger and fuller proof which does
not appeal simply to faith, but to the
intelligence of every obssrvant reader of
the Bible. While the Old Testament is
largely history of the people of ISRAEL,
of their wanderings, trials and struggles
while many verses and chapters are gems
age abounds in poetic beauty of phrase
and expression far surprising anything
ever written, either ancient or modern,
yet the Bible is not history, its books are
not poems, as a production of ancient
writers it is not simply literature. 1t is
the Word of God. From the book OF
Genesis to Revelation the central thought
aud suggestion is God. A bove the mere
record and story, above the trials and
success, the victories ami defeats of His
people, is God. God leading, directing,
admonishing, reproving, Furnishing and
forgiving. In every part the dominating
idea of the power, majesty, justice and
mercy Of God, is seen running like sill
yer thread through page, chapter and
book, to it's very end. In and through
all ia lesson, plan of instruction and
guidance, teaching, to all who may read
what God is, and His relation to, and
influence upon, the human race. Through
all the Bible, then, the spiritual voice

thought and fact.

THREE GOOD MEALS.
Daily Evidence That Puri-
tana Cured Him.

E1A A MANS case Is really des-
NJ II perate when his neigh
HEA bors are daily expecting him
ENSN to die, when his physicians
EEM lRa have given him UP, and when
HlVI his system revolts at the
HH III simplest sort of nourish-
MI ~ ment. Yet this was the con-
rLS dition of Mr.. Charles E,
Phelps, who is life long
resident of Sterling, Mass, having
been born there SO years ago.
For the past IT years Mr.. Phelps has
been tax collector and constable, and is
also sexton and the proprietor of a
livery stable. He is q prominent Odd
Fellow. and his acquaintance extends
widely into Clinton. Lancaster. Leom-
mister, Boylston and Worcester.
Mr.. Phelps was dragged down to the
door of death by a serious stomach
trouble. He was fighting for his life
without much hope for his poor pain
racked body. He was fighting alone
against starvation in the midst of
plenty. against constant loss Of weight
and increasing weakness. against
dreadful nausea, against pressure on
his chest. against belchng Of wind,
sourness of the stomach and terrible
pain.
He had all but lost the fight, when
Puritana saved him. Mr. Phelps is en-
thusiastic. His friends and neighbors
marvel at his wonderful recovery, and
another link is added to the long chain
of evidence in favor of Puritana His
remarkable letter is as follows:
The Puritana Compound Co.,
Dear Sir-Fer ten years 1 have had
a very bad stomach trouble. One year
ago l had henorrhage of the stom-
ach which left me in still worse con-
dltion. My system got entirely run
down so that could eat scarcely any,
thing. A small piece of bread would
cause severe pains across my chest and
In my bowels, and I would have to go
to bed and call doctor.
My condition kept on going from bad
to worse, and last summer was given
UP to die. My weight ran down from
140 pounds to 1913. After eating, fire.
quently I would vomit everything up.
I had employed doctors, but still re-
tanned no permanent results. Last
summer my attention was called to
Puritana, and as a drowning man"
grasps at a straw, so I commenced the
use of Puritana.
The results in my case are marvel.
Gus. Instead of being in my grave, as
many predicted 1 would be before this
time, am attending to my active bust
ness pursuits, and sit down to three
good meals of victuals day, enjoy
eating them, and afterwards expert
ence no pains, attacks of indigestion,
vomiting, belching of wind, sourness
of the stomach, or anything of the
kind. Puritana I consider the most
wonderful of medicines and am recon-
mending it to many of my friends.

The continuance Of the Behrens

port this week depends upon the Sc
curing of the consent of Judge Wa
terman to preside over the remain
der Of the trial. or at least to occapy
the bench until Judge House is again
able to be in attendance. The latter
directed the clerk of the court to
notify the interested attorneys that
he would be unable to preside, and
that unless they could agree upon
and secure the consent Of another
judge to try the case, court would
stand adjourned until next Monday.
BY that time it is hoped that Judge
House will be well again. The at
torneys practically agreed that if
Judge Waterman would take the
bench they would proceed with the
trial at once. and avoid the dangers

"Unels Toms Cabin y

The production of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" at the Casino last night, says
an exchange, was on scale of mag
niieence never before witnessed in
this city.
The Davis Bros. company gives a
most powerful and intelligent inter-
probation Of this touching master
piece Of dramatic fiction. Every one
attending was highly pleased, laugh
ing with the diabolical excellent
Topsy. and crying with beautiful,
pure, sweet little Eva with one ac-
cord. The scenery used by this
company is simply grand, and the
use Of the calcium light lends an En-
chanting wierdness to its beauty.
The steamboat race was an ex-
tremely clever piece of stage realism
that astonished even old theatre-go-
ers. Taken altogether, we pro-
nounce this the best Uncle Tom"
we have ever seen, and much more
worthy its audience than the wishy
washy nonsense given US under the
names Of society drama with impos-
sible heroines and ridiculous heroes.
The Davis Bros. colossal spectac-
ular Uncle Toms Cabin company
will appear at Harpsr's theatre Sat-
urday, matinee and night.
