RARE DISEASE.
Patient Kept Alive Only by Artificial
Respiration.

st. Paul. Nov. "a wonderful case
has been at the city hospital here since
Oct. 3, at which time Title Anderson,
a domestic, was taken to the hospital
suffering from what was thought to be
typhoid fever. 1t turned out to be
a very rare disease known as Laudrey's
paralysis, caused by the absorption Of
poisonous matter taken up by the
blood.
1t was found necessary to resort to
artificial respiration, which was done
by raising the arms above the head
and lowering them to the side, the
same as in case of drowning. In this
manner respiration has been induced
for FIVE weeks and the patient is still
alive. The physicians in charge ex-
pect the girl to recover.

Sir Charles Topper on the Hostility
of American Tariffs.

Vancouver, b. c., Nov. 9.-The citi-
Zens of Vancouver tonight entertained
Sir Charles Upper with a non-politi-
cal banquet. In replying to toast of
health he said if the Americans kept
up their policy of hostile tariffs the
dominion government should meet
them on their own ground. The gov
eminent would have the undivided
support of the conservatives in protect
ing Canadian rights.
The Canadian government should
show the United States that though
they were big and powerful they could
not cOerce Canada. Sir Charles also
said that the provincial and dominion
governments should construct a good
sleigh road into the Yukon until a rail-
WAY could be built
