cases in which others have failed and
cured cases that have been given up as in
durable by other specialists and reputable
physicians This method consists of a
systematic application of the true ele-
ments of Psyche Neuric healing in COM
bination with the Ratioual Methods OF
Medicine and Surgery as practiced by me
and which / claim to be the true and
natural manner of applying the healing art.
In my use of this mode OF treatment and
the application OF 1t to tins class oi dlS-
eases | claim originality, and although my
success has lead to crude limitations be-
lieve that today | am the only regularly
educated Physician and Surgeon in the
world using these methods in their entirety

ton and positive in its results.

1t may be eminently fitting that Vermont
should have an insurance commissioner
since the public is largely concerned in
business of that nature, says the Land
mark. But when two officials, who failed
for denomination to their respective posi-
tions after eight years of service, make the
suggestion two questions naturally suggest
themselves. The first is Why have they
not recommended the appointment of a
commissioner beforep The second is the
inquiry whether either Of these gentlemen
is a candidate for the new office in case it
is created.

WILD TIMES IN THE CoRTEs.
Secret Discussion OF the War Causes
II n Senaa tfnr, .rFs$S

Secret Discussion Of the War Causes
q Sensation.
Madrid, Sept. 0.-The chamber has
Iollowed the senate in discussing the
late war behind closed doors. This ac-
ton has caused the greatest sensation.
Immediately after the meeting Senior
Salmerdon, the Republican leader.
moved that an investigation be made
into the responsibility of Senior Sagas-
tas government in connection with the
declaration of war, tile negotiations
for peace and the violation of the con-
stltution by the suspension of the guar
antces. Thereupon Senior Sagasta
asked quickly that the deliberations be
conducted behind closed doors and the
president pronounced favorably upon
the request. The Republicans and
Conservatives vehemently protested,
and, amid an indescribable scene Of
confusion the doorkeepers cleared the
galleries. the deputies in the mean
while shouting uproariously.
The senate session was also stormy
one. Generals Weyler, Dominguez,
AZcarra and Brimo de Rivera attend
cd. Gen. Weyler said Count de AL
menas had greeted the returning SOL
dies. ignoring the officers. He said
this was reflection upon the officers
efficiency.
''Thc Mistakes as Made in Cubn
are not to be blamed upon the army"
he said, "but to the politicians at the
head of the government. The minis
tc $ of war and marine ought to have
4c%. Sned. Had the army been properly
equipped" he continued, cit would not
have failed" Gen. Weyler strongly
condemned the secret sessions of the
cortes, and concluded his speech as
follows: II desire to speak to all Spain
and not merely to the government"
Count de Almenas, replying to Gen.
Weylers structure, said: Il addressed
my greetings to those who have been
martyrs for their country - to the
Spanish soldiers-because they de-
served such greetings. 1 did not adj
dress the generals for they showed
themselves incapable of leading SOL
diers to battle or showing them how
to fall worthily on the field"
Marshal Primo de Rivera shouted:
''That is not true" and Gen. Wevler
and others joined in the protest. Count
de Almenas, addressing Gen. de Ri
vera, replied: 81 am not afraid Of
such cries OF of epaulets or of the dec
o.ations that will have to be torn off
the breasts of several officers. The
sashes of some generals should be
torn off and put around their necks."
y great uproar ensued.
\ petition signed by all the Repub-
lican members was submitted to the
chamber declaring the government re-
sponsible, first, for lack of the neces-
sary energy in prosecuting the war;
second, for negotiating shameful
peace, and, thirdly, for violating the
constitution.

The following protest, by Rev. J. H.
Croker of Buffalo, against the charge
that the attitude of our country among
the nations is that of Isolation" will
be accepted by many of our readers.
The too sweeping declaration is very
we'll controverted. "It seems to me-"
said the preacher, chat distinguish
ed American statesman is wrong when
he charges us with isolation. AS a
people we have been very much abroad
in the world, and in the noblest and
most effectual way. Who have tray
eled so widely or wisely as Americans?
We have sent great numbers of STU
dents to foreign universities. Thou
sands Of devoted missionaries have
gone from our shores to distant lands.
We are enriching our life from every
source; we are pouring out our life
and shedding our influence upon every
race and tribe. What greater good
can we do to the world than by these
peaceful services? We should arrest
our own development and diminish our
influence by stepping down from this
pedestal and meddling in the affairs of
distant nations and assuming charge
Of savage hordes."

Liquid air presents surprising pos
sibilities as a medicine. A Russian
physician, in experimenting with it,
placed dog in room with the tenn
perasure lowered, as stated in Engin-
eering, to one hundred degrees below
zero. After ten hours the dog was
taken out alive, and with an enormous
appetite. The physician tried the test
himself. After ten hours continent
in an atmosphere of still, dry cold, his
vitality was intensely stimulated. So
much combustion had been required to
keep warm that an intense appetite was
created. 1t was like visit to a brac-
Ing northern climate.
