The agency of death was already coursing
through the veins, carrying its fatal mes
sage 10 the heart.
The mortal effect of muscarin is to
paralyze the heart and when it has once
been absorbed in the blood the only re-
course is to hypodermic injections of
atropine and strychnine, and to internal
stimulauts.
BY this means it is hoped to counteract
the effect upon the heart until the system
can throw off the poison. In the case of
the father, the mother and little Eda this
course proved successful. With the two
little ones, who sleep where the candles
cast the shadow of the crucifix between
them, the poison had already seized the
hearts in death grip, and with Atelio
the battle Is on.

The particular form of m mushroom which

Wonderful Discovery.

Never before in the worlds
history has the science of curing
and conquering sickness, dis
ease and death arrived at so
high and practical a state of
perfection as at the present
time. Located in San Francisco
is the greatest and only lnStitu-
ton of its kind in the world
the State Electro-Medical Insti-
tute. 1t is the pioneer of a
system which will overthrow
old forms of medical practice,
and is the advance-guard of an
exact science that renders the
curing of all diseases an abso-
lutte and unqualified certainty.
Its methods are a fitting climax
to the researches of such world
famous scientists as Professor
Pasteur, the French celebrity;
Herr DR.. Koch, the great Ger
man diScoverer, and DR.. Roent-
gen, whose X-Ray researches
have startled the whole world.

PROSPECTS OF THE SOUTH.

E~migrants are Setting Along the
Line OF the Southern Hallway
The Industrial Conditions are I'm

Vice President w. w. Finlay, Of the
Southern Railway company, has given
the Manufacturers Record d geneIa al
summary OF the business outlook for
the country tributary to the Southern
Railway, which practically embraces
everything from Washington to the
Mississippi river. Mr.. Finlay says:
The business outlook in the regions
t~raversed by the Southern railway
were never more promising than at
the present time.
The tide OF desirable immigration,
coming from all portions OF the north
and northwest, a. well as from Europe,
has been and continues to be steadily
on tho increase. This steady growth
of population has oeen systematiZ.d
along conservative business lines.
Many industrial colonies have been
located, and many more will be com.
posed of homogeneous people who are
working together in harmony and are
reaping tho reward Of labor, judicious-
ly directed.
New mines have been opened and
old ones rejuvenated by better systems
and increased capital, and the iron in

vigorous career OF prosperity, develop

The wood working establishments of
the south are making good
and all departments and branches of
this industry are growing stronger
and are steadily widening the area OF
their work, with the prime facilities
they possess for turning out their work
at q minimum cost.
Cotton and wooden industrie % are all
In O llourishing condition, and are
daily growing in Importance as they
are constantly being strengthened by
accessioDs OF capital and skill. New
lines OF work are being introduced and
old ones improved by better machinery
and enhanced skill.
Lines OF travel by rail and water
arc being extended and those already
established, improved so as to fully
keep abreast Of the demands made
upon them by the increasing volume
OF business. The marked increase in
diversified farming through which the
south is now raising many OF its sup
plies which it formerly purchased
from other sections Is exerting n
healthful influence upon all classes, as
well as largely adding to the wealth
and prosperity Of all branches OF agri-
culture.
Upon the whole, the outlook for in
creased prosperity in the south was
never better than at present.
