THERE'S more Cutarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases put tc-
getber, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For q great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be u consti-
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by L. j. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally In doses from 10 crops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of tho system. They
offer ono hundred dollars for any case 1t
fails to cure. Sea1 for circulars and testi

AoREAT HELP TO sURaERYl


Discovery of Young Surgeon Announced
to the Academy Of Medicine.
At the last regular meeting of tho Acad.
envy Of Medicine young physician who,
hos made rapid strides In his profession
road paper on Intestinal Irrigation. "
The paper was illustrated by an exhibition,
OF tho appliances used by the physician In
irrigating the intestines. The appliances,
1t seems, are Of his own invention, and BY
their use physicians are now enabled to-
accomplish results In the treatment of In.
testinal troubles which before the young
doctor began his experiments were diff
cult and In many casos impossible to a..
oomplish.
Briefly the appliance invented by the
young doctor Is this; To the Pipe of an or,
binary fountain syringe he has attached
two nozzles. Through one of these the ir.
rlgating stream passes, and from the other,
the water used In the irrigatinK process
flows out. By the use Of these two nozzles
and by keeping the reservoir Of the syringe
filed, an uninterrupted flow of water may
be maintained, -
When the reading of the paper was con,
cluded, 1t was discussed by some Of tho
best known physicians in town. DR.. Rob.
ert II. NJ. DaWbarn said that until sur,
geons had learned of the experiment and,
the invention they had not known Of any,
satisfactory way of treating patients for
shock following surgical operations. I
although go great an advance has been
made in the science Of surgery in the last
hundred years. said DIR. Dawbarn "little
hes been added to the surgeons knowledge
of treating shock. Many more persons
have died Of the shock following the oper-
alton than from all the other effects Of tho
operation combined. Now that we have
the result Of these experiments and this
invention, we need no longer fear death
from shook. Tho doctor has Experimental
with solution Of salt in water. When I
learned of the result of his experiments, I
procured one Of his syringes fitted with the
double tube. have used this In 12 or ID
cases In the hospital after serious major.
operations. The operation performed, T
would open vein and irrigate 1t with the
saline solution. In every case the patient
did not suffer from shock at all, and in
each case the patient is now well. do
not think Ii would have been possible to
save some Of these patients from death
from shock had not known Of the doc
tors appliance and his experiments. For

Billions Of Dollars' worth Of Yellow Metal
Still In the Rand.

Still In the hand.
The little strip of the Rand, which once
upon time was a layer Of loose pebbles
and sand, Is now hard and heavy rock,
of which IN cubic feet weigh ton; there
fore the whole strip weighs 6e5, 600. 900
TONS or, after deducting what has already
been taken out, Cos, 900, 900 tons. Former
calculations assumed 10 or IA cubic feet TO
the ton, but quite recent weighing tests
havo showed the orc to be heavier, and
than was formerly estimated. One fact
which will strike the reader is that tho
tonnage taken out In the past ten years Is
but small fraction.
We will now determine the money value
which this enormous tonnage can reason
ably be estimated to yield in the course of
time. Tho money value of the average
yield per ton milled in the last months Of
tho past year (Soptember to Novelnber)
was Ais. II was increasing by few pence
every month-40s. Cd. in September, Ais.
Id. In October, and Ais. I'd. in November.
This yield is not arrived ut by crushing in
discriminatory everything that Is mined.
The stones arc sorted, and perhaps one
. tenth is at present being thrown away as
barren. In this way the Cos, 900, 900 tons
would be reduced to 540,000,000 At 41s
they should yield 81, 100, 100000.
Before proceeding further one may re-
mark that this is an enormous addition to
tho worlds supply Of gold. 1t Is moro
than four times the production Of the
whole state of California during 30 years
and yet spread over many years 1t is not
likely to exceed the worlds power Of alb
sorption and effect depreciation Of gold.
Although this large figure is an advance
on older estimates it is more likely to be
under than over tho mark. All former es-
Inmates have been exceeded by the extern
sion Of payable area and by more and more
companies falling into the ranks as pro-
ducers. Mr.. Hamilton Smith five years
ago estimated 2825, 900, 900 down to 5000
feet, Herr Schmeisser assumed $3.50, 0O0,-
900 down to 1000 feet, and Professor
Becker Tin 1890 e700, 900, 900 down to
5000 feet. This last estimate was based on
q stretch Of payable orc Of 90 as against
the present 30 miles.-National Review.
