! any cannot be accused of doing things
! by halves. Where the truth will not
serve to present a city in as favorable a
light as he would like he draws on his
Imagination. In recent pamphlet he
SAYS about Duluth, among other strange
things: at is the terminus of eight rail-
road lines. has sixteen grain elevators
with a total capacity of over 10000, 900
bushels, " and lis the greatest primary
market IN the world, and it is here that
vast cargoes OF this cereal are taken on
for shipment east" 1t would puzzle a
Pinkerton detective to find the eight
railroad terminals and sixteen elevators
across the bay. Duluth is fortunate in
its historians.

There is one thing our mayor can be

DR.. John e. Murphy. of Chicago,
one of the most successful surgeons IN
tins country, who read Il paper on the
possibility and probability of the sue
cessiul use of nitrogen gas in cases of
tuberculosis of the lungs. based upon
his observations from time to time W bile
operating tor other lung troubles, has
been kept pretty busy explaining that
he Is not ready to announce to the
public that he has discovered a sure
cure for consumption, as some of the
papers proclaimed, but simply gave out
his observations, that practicing phvsl-
clans might make use of them and
prove for themselves the correctness of
his theory. In 4 recent interview with
a Chicago newspaper he says: . have
fessional men will be aDle to demon
strate Its value by experiment. They
must work II ont. In nv surgical work
many facts presented themselves to me
that led me to the conclusion that nitro
gen gas Orany fluid or gaseous substance
suitable for the purpose could be used
TO compress the lungs and confne the
| tuburcular germs. BY such process
the affected lung is put in a quiescent
state and nature is allowed to do her
own work. The tendency of lung af-
iected by tuberculosis is to heal and all
that compression 10y nitrogen gas ac-
composites Is 10 put the diseased lung
under the most favorable condition for
healing"
