WHAT HE MEANS BY FREE.

You have heard of free doctors, of free
medicines, of free consultation of free
months and of free treatment. You have
had much experience with these schemes;
you have come to know them in their
different guises In spite of the apparent
genuineness. and the apparent generosity
of the word. free" has been used as a
bait for profits. Underneath somewhere
there has always been the idea to exact
from the patient payment for something
if not for consultation then for treat
ment If not for treatment, then for medi-
cine; II not for medicine, then for con-
sultation. The bait has been free, but
the fish have been fried Just the same.
This thing that can be called by no
lighter name than fraud has turned the
credulity of a naturally credulous peo-
pie into suspicion and contempt.
1t is for this reason that in this an
nouncement Doctor St. John is compelled
to make it very clear and very plain and
very emphatic that this invitation means
just what ii says, and that all who come
to his offices will, without the payment
of one penny be received as cordially,
examined as carefully and supplied with
medicines as literally, and as conscien-
tiously as though they paid the highest
fees ever charged by specialists.

LAMP FILAMENTS VALUABLE.
A Pound of Them Is Worth Nearly
Halfa Million Dollars

United States Consul Morris, a:
Ghent, Belgium, has forwarded the fol-
lowing statement to the state depart
ment: The most expensive product
of the world is the charcoal threads of
iucandescent lamps. 1t is stated that
this tilament, for lamps of 20 candles
is worth $l2,O 600 per pound, and that
for lamps Of 80 candles is worth $1,000
per pound The former have a dia-
meter of 0.02O of a millimeter Zone
millimeter equals 0.0394 inch and the
latter of 0.0045 of millimeter."
A correspondent of the New York
Sun estimates that pound of she
more delicate filaments-two thou
sandths of an inch diameter and one
eighth of an inch long-used for the
small "pea-lamps" of surgeons, would
be worth $44S,000.
