The work of raising the bills was poorly

EPILEPSY AND
ITS TREATMENT
Interesting Paper Read Before
Medical Society.
WAS SPECIALLY PREPARED
Dr. w. P. Sprating, Superintendent of
Craig Colony of New York, Ex-
planned the Workings of
the Institution
WAS SPECIALLY PREPARED

Dr. w, p. Spratling, superintendent of the
Craig colony for epileptics near Buffalo,
N. Y, read a very interesting paper be-
fore the jefferson Medical society last
night. In this paper he fully explained the
objects and workings of the institution he
represented.
The Craig colony was established in 1894,
under a special act of the legislature of
New York, which provides that the INDECENT
epileptics of that state shall first be cared
for and then if there be further accommo-
dations. pay patients may be received.
At present the colony has 40 patients and
in his paper last night DR.. Spatting stated
that permanent cures had been effected in
about per cent. of the cases. This is equal
to the best results obtained in the older In
situations of the kind in Germany. He also
stated that statistics show that of the en-
| tire population of the country about one
in every 500 in epileptic.
| Two thousand acres of land were donated
to the uses of the colony, and on this vari-
Gus forms of employment are found for the
| patients, including farming, gardening,
! brick making etc, every patient being re-
quired to work. For the maintenance of
| this institution the state of New York this
| year appropriated the sum of $25S0OO.
| The Craig colony is the only institution
| of the kind in the United States. Illinois,
| Ohio Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
| have hospitals where epeptics are treated,
| but not free
| At the Craig colony special efforts are
| made to prevent the transmission or TINS
| disease to future generations. When a
! patient once enters the colony he is there
| after shut off from communication with
| society. Through the center of the farm
| runs a broad river, which separates the
! wards set apart for male and female pa
| tents The only means of crossing the riY-
| er is a bridge at one end of the farm,
| which is closely guarded day and night.
! Dr. Spratling came to Birmingham at the
! invita- tion of the Jefferson Medical society,
and prepared his paper especially for this
OCCASION He has been al the head of Craig
| colony ever since its foundation.
| In conversation with an Age-Herald rep
| resentatlxe last night, DR.. Spratlins said
| that a similar institution could be esta5-
4 lished near Birmingham at a small cost,
| and that he believed it could he made self
sustaining in a short time.
DR.. Spratling leaves this morning for his
home.

Flower bulbs cheap. Godden's.

Washington, November 27.--The attention
of Commissioner Wilson, of the internal
revenue bureau, has been called to the
practice which, 1T is said, prevails through
out the United States in state courts of
selling to some officer of the court, or other
party, witness fee claims, in cases where
such feers are not paid Immediately upon
being earned. In doing this they execute
a power of attorney authorizing the pur-
chaser to collect the fees and retain the
same; these powers of attorney so far as
reported have not been stamped, and the
commissioner directs that the stamp be
affixed In all such cases.

waiting the payment of orders at the post
office, as by this method any order deposit
ed with a city bank will be paid through
the clearing house, whether the letter oil
advice has been received at the postoffiee
or not. Everyone will readily appreciate
