GONG LAMENESS.
4 Peculiar Disease Described by Dis
trict Veterinarian.

a report is expected from DIR. C. B. Rob-
inson. the well-known veterinary surgeon,
which will be, in one instance at least a
most novel one. for # is understood he will
report that the horses of the District fire
department are now and then found to be
suffering from nervous lameness caused
by the ringing of the big brass gongs
which sound the alarms of fire in the va
rious houses of the fire department.
Dr. Robinson, who has the medical care
of the horses in the fire department. is
said to have discovered that the ringing
of the gongs have i'm numerous instances
shocked the horses to such an extent as
to cause them to go lame. In some cases
SO much so as to prevent them for the
time from leaving their stalls until urged
by the men of the companies. The lame
ness is described in the nature of nerv-
Gus paralysis, which, while temporary, so
shocks the animal affected as to render IL
practically unfit for service in the fire de-
partment.
When a horse is found to be so affected
ii is sent to DR.. Robinsons hospital, where
after careful treatment, it RECEIVERS to such
an extent as to be able to resume its
work. Yet in a short time after being re-
turned to service the lameness returns
and the horse again becomes incapacitat-
ed. Two horses of the department are now
in the hospital suffering from the disease.
IL
on the subject, but il is said to have been
the experience of DR. Robinson that about
one in every ten Of the horses in the Dis
trict fire department sooner or later be-
come affected by this gong lameness," as
1T is called.
DIR. Robinson has found that, as a rule,
only animals of a nervous, sensitive dis
position are subject to the disorder, but i'm
his expected report 1t is believed he will
recommend the adoption of some system
for sounding alarms of fire In the houses
of the fire department which will permit
the discontinuance of the big house gong.
The condition of affairs discovered by DIR.
Robinson is not, it is said, by any means
a recent one in the history of the local
department but II is considered by the ad-
yocates of the new method of receiving
alarms at night. placed in four of the
houses of the department by order of Com
missioner Wight, as a very strong argu-
ment In favor of their general use.

1t was a world-famed discovery by Prof.
Phelps of an infallibe cure for those fearful
ills that result from an impaired nervous

his life an era in the practice Of medicine.
Prof Phelps was born in Connecticut and
graduated in medicine at Yale.

The next year he was chosen professor of
the chair then vacated by Professor Robby,
and occupied the cl air, the most important
one in the country, at the time when he
first formulated his most remarkable pre-

Professor Phelps has given to bis profess

Paine's celery compound stauds without

WOMEN NEED NOT BE DISCOURAGED
The nervous tension under which most of
our women constantly live affects the fe-
male organism seriously. Heavy household
burdens, social gayeties, work in some COM
mercial establishment, any OF these duties
seem impossible to women who are ill and
yet they keep up for time under pressure
of the demands upon them. When they
do break down, the advice and treatment
they receive from their family physi clan
don't go to the root of the trouble and they
get no better They are discouraged, worn
out, tired of life. The great specialist in
women's diseases, DIR. Greene. of Nervura
fame, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, has
shown thousands OF women who thought
themselves hopeless invalids the way to
