NEW DISEASE DISCOVERED.
"Efiuvium Anaemia" Caused by Gas
Poisoning.

ST. LOUIS, MO-, Jan. 19-Dr. Felix w.
Garcia, Il well known surgeon and chemist,
has discovered new disease. From re-
searches at his office and home, and
from close observation in his daily
practice, he has reached the con-
clusion that thousands of persons in st.
Louis are victims of chronic gas poisoning.
He has treated several cases recently which
led him to believe that the leakage of illu-
minating gas from mains and pipes is a con-
slant menace to health, and that it is the
cause of distinctive malady, which he has
named "effluyium anaemia." The physician
cited several cases which he had treated,
saying that in each instance the poison was
discovered in the blood.

Some important changes will take place in
the U. S. army in the spring. 1t is probable
that Major General Wesley Merritt, COM
succeed General Thomas II. Ruger will
have reached the age limit. Cen
eral Merritt is one Of the most popular
commissioners that the department Of the
Missouri ever knew. He graduated from
West Point in 1861. During the civil war he
gained for himself a name that forms part
of the imperishable history of this country.
General Merritt was born in New York city
and Is about 80 years old, hence he has
about five years to serve before being re-
tired.
