An Enviab!e Record.

When Doctor CSwGeri and his associates an
nounced three years ago that they Ind establish

and curing Zinc Of chronic diseases that here
tcfcr- had resisted the efforts OF all who had pre-
coded them: that their methods were and
original: that harsh treatment surgical In
terfeIence WIS useSl--th,se statements re-
ceiyed with much suspcion and doubt.
When they made the startling statements that
they could eighty per Of all cases IF
deafness. the people smiled and said: That is
false for cur best specialists can't do that. We
know. for have tried to be cured, at great
expense and pair. and have failed Nevertheless.
this has come about and today Doctor C"vden is
treating more cases Of deafness than the COM
bined practices of ell physicians in the city. This
can mean only enc thing. and that is that the
public have discovered tn. truth; what once
q doubt has become u fact. Doctor Cowden Is
curing deafness. His methods are in nd
vance of all others and Is the coming treatment.
Likewise. his methods Of dealing with other all
merits that frmerly considered incurable.
such IS the catarrhal conditions OF mucous mem
brsres. rheumatism Indigestion. &c. His trent
menr Of these rnses has revoluticuized the prac-
tice of medicine. Irritation Of nose. throat and
bronchial tubes. with their distressing symptoms
of stiffness hoarseness and cough, readily yield
TO this soothing. healing medication. All this and
much NOR can be said of the work done az these
Offices. but 1t Is entirely unnecessary the peo-
pie have finally discovered the truth. They
forced to believe 1t BY avalanche eff testi-
pony that they have right tt doubt. For the
past three years their friends neighbors and fell
low residents Of this city have forward and.
through the aIl-prevailIng medium of the public
press, have gratefully declared their cure. and
In all Instances plainly and forcfbly recommended
kindred sufferers TO try the treatment that cured
them
Seemingly. nothing more need be said 1t only
remains for those who are afflicted with chronic
silms MS to apply TO the Offices Of Doctor Cowden

durable There is no obligation to take trcst-
mert and the fee to those who do viii be within
The reach u all.
Do not be misle1i ny the statements OF others who
claim methods equally curative. They have moth
ing SO far advanced. What other treatment would
have cured Master Charles Miller's dearaess-the
statement publish today for the first time :?
Do you hear Of such cases being cured by any

by the voice of cured patients, been proved

being assumed, the best possible defense
should be provided. And. further, the Ma,
tional Guard of the capital should, from
cry consideration. be made model insti-
tuition. The aggregate estimate Tor the
militia of the District for the year ending
June 80. 1900. was So, 325. OF this the fol-
lowing items constitute the increase over
the appropriation for the current fiscal
year:
Increase of $500 for printing and station
cry. $500 in the salary of custodian in
charge of the United States properly and
store rooms. 81 900 for clerk In the aGjutant
generals office. 500 for expenses of drills
and parades, $500 for expenses of camps
Of instruction and practice marches.
Adjutant General Needed.
we wish 10 call attention particularly
to the item for $1,000 for clerk i'll the s,dju-
tant generals Office. At present that Of
flee has no clerk, and the clerical duties
are large, The result is that the govern
nent is paying a higher salaried officer for
low saianed work. and, further. trained
and experienced officer, whose valuable
services are needed in the practical work
of the drill and discipline of the men, and
generally looking after the interests of the
organization, are frItlered away Al a desk
For the best interests OF the organization
of a force of two thousand men there is
abundant need for the services Of al adju-
tant general, especially under the existing
opinion, this item is most urgently needed.
The increased appropriation Cor drills and
camps Of instruction and practise marches
are the pest means for perfec:ing the drill
and discipline of the men; indeed. We be-
lieve they are absolutely essential.
Naval Reserve.
There has bean transferred by the Sec
rotary of the Navy, for the use of the
naval battalion of the National Guard. the
United States steamship Fern. and :he
items below given are necessary in connec-
ton with the transfer The appropriations
asked for are necessary in order that the
guard may avail itself of the use of the
ship. There can be no question as to the
wisdom of the transfer or the advantage Of
the full use of the ship in the drill and
practice of the men. We have "a naval bat
TALON and by this transfer, we have also a
small craft suitable for its use, and there
can be no question about the PROPHECY of
an appropriation for that purpose. The ad-
dtional items on this point are as follows:

$3.50; repairing uniforms, arms and equip
ments, $500 for annual practice cruise. cor

DIR. Kinnear i'm The Humanitarian
aseeverates that il is quite possible
greatly to postpone the coming OF old
age. The dream of an elixir of life
which shared the alchemist's bslief in
the possibility of making gold from the
baser metals during the middle ages
may then have some basis in science.
The phenomenon of old age from the
standpoint of physiology is known to be
the undue deposit in the system of car
Donate, phosphate and other salts Of
lime, thus tending to ossify the physical
activities of the frame are clogged in
their work of self repair, and they
break down like q rusty and neglected
machine. It is only matter of time,
then. when the blockage Of the exquisite
processes which bestow life ends in
death. In the blood are contained the
earth salts While in youth and early
manhood they are thrown off, age lacks
the power to eliminate them. Bread and
meat contain these earth salts in great
est abundance. The problem then is to
adopt such a diet, as man advances in
years, as will give sufficient nutrition
with minimum of this dangerous cal
careous matter In the first place, fruit
is recommended as a prime article OF
diet. Fish, lamb or young mutton,
poultry and veal among the flesh foods
are claimed to be the more advisable,
though these are to be eaten in great
moderation. 1t is desirable also for
those who have passed the prime of life
to drink only distilled water Diluted
phosphoric acid is known to be one of
the most powerful agencies for shield
ing the system from the ills and incon-
venience of old age, and this mixed
with the water becomes of prime eff
cacy. By its affinity with oxygen the
earthly deposits are comtated and their
expulsion from the system greatly as
sisted. In brief, then, the advice may
be thus summarized:
Avoid foods rich in the earth soils,
use fruit profusely, especially uncool1ed
apples, and take daily two or three COB
let's of distilled water with Is drops Of
diluted phosphoric acid in each glass
ful. This dietary, with plenty of exer-
else, sleep and fresh air, it is urged
will have a magical effect in lengthen-
ing life after it has passed its grand
climacteric.
