ORGANIC CHANGES
The wholesome process OF secretion
by the use of Carlsbad Water.

Prof. Hlawazek, an authority
on stomachic diseases says: "What
we have positively ascertained is.
that Carlsbad Water in a high
degree promotes organic changes
in the system; that principally by
its alkaline constituents, it acts as
an absorbent of fat and as an
antacid throughout the organism,
and that it performs this whole
some action by stimulating, aug
menting and chemically altering
the whole process of secretion"
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
Of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York." on
every label.

A Foxy Doctor.

Among the more prominent members Of
the medical fraternity OF Chicago is ply
stefan who is renowned much more for
his professional skill than for his control
Of his own nerves or temper, says the
Chicago Chronicle. In fact. his confreres
laughingly remark that he is able to con-
troll other people rather better than he is
himself.
Among the regular patients of the doc
tor is an elderly lady who is something Of
a hypochondriac and who, though she is
more or less of an invalid constantly
imagines herself to be in much worse
condition than she really is. A few days
ago the doctor was sent for post haste,
and expected from the urgency of the
summons to find her extremely Ill. He
was somewhat Disguised when he found
that she was in her usual condition, and
when he incautiously minated that he
did not think her condition had materially
changed since he last saw her his patient
launched into recital of her woes, to-
gether with numerous new symptoms
which she had discovered, which seemed
almost endless. The discipline of Escula-
plus was compelled to prolong his visit
until he was decidedly Inconvenience by
the delay. He finally made his prescrip-
ton and left the house, promising to re-
turn the next day.

lady commenced telling her numerous ply
steal troubles. The doctor had an impor
tant appointment TO keep in half hour,
and finally became distressingly nervous
over the prospect, when a happy thought
struck him. Drawing from his pocket one
of the little thermometers which physi-
clans use to test temperature with, he
said:
Mrs. ---, l wish to test your tempera-
ture VIII you be so kind as to hold this
in your mouth for a minute?"
The lady did as directed, and while she
was rendered incapable of conversation by
reason of the impediment in her mouth the
doctor felt her pulse and made out his
prescription. He then removed the Their
mometer and left, having saved a great
deal of time by the use. The same thing
was repeated for three days, when finally
the invaid's daughter asked him anxious
ly.
DO you think mamma is going to have
a fever?"
mo" replied the doctor. She makes me
nervous with her talking and I wanted a
little quiet"
The daughter straightway told her
mother of the circumstance, and after a
stormy interview the physician was paid
off and dismissed. At last accounts the in
valid had secured a doctor who, while he
may not be the equal of the first in med
ical skill, is not made nervous by her end

Mr.. Turner's speech.

The speech which Hon. Henry G. Tur-
ner of this state delivered before the Re
form Club in New York the other night
was characteristic one. cIear-cut and to
the point. ana breathing the true democrat
ic principles. The subject upon which he
spoke was 'The Political Outlook" and
while he could not say that the prospect
was. just at the time. particularly bright
for the democratic party to triumph in its
time-honored tenets of faith, he was sure
that democratic principles would be vim
dicated and would in turn vindicate those
who have stood through thick and thin
for them
Mr.. Turner gave the New Workers some
thing to think about in connection with
the income tax proposition. The idea was
that an income tax, 50 far from being
bad thing for New York. might be just
otherwise. New York is a commercial
city. Whatever tends to increase foreign
trade must necessarily be of benefit to her
With the income tax paying considerable
revenues into the governments Golfers. 1t
would be possible to levy lower taxes upon
imports-that is, under democratic rule.
Said he: with such a supplement
to our internal taxes growing with the
growth of the country, and gradually
adapted by experience to our peculiar con-
ditions, we could have made New York at
no very distant day substantially free
port for all mankind. This great commu-
nifty would then, indeed, have become a
Greater New York. But the income tax
has gone TO the graveyard.
Mr.. Turner expects nothing from the
present congress in the way of relief leg
islation. The democrats in congress are
opposed by fiatists and spoilsmen: "Our
friends, the populists, regarding the gov
eminent as sort of mutual benefit cor
poration, would make us all rich by water
ing the stock, and do nothing more. Our
adversaries, the republicans, regarding
their success as a capture of the govern
ment, proceed to avail themselves of an
opportunity for a partition of the spoils,
and will do nothing more"
Still there is something to be hoped for
from the fatists and spoilsmen, in mega
tive way: IF these legislators will not re-
peal the law of supply and demand, and
leave US Greshams law and the maxims
of Poor Richard, and the underwritten or
dinances of common sense, and only ad-
journ, business men acting separately and
yet in concert, will, to great extent, set
tie all these matters
