papers are devoting much space to the
alleged consumption cure which Prof.
Vincent Cervello of the Palermo uni
versity claims to have discovered. His
method consists in making his patients

prepared air thoroughly impregnated
with heating vapor. Twenty-six con-
'sumptives who were gravely affected
by the disease were handed over to
Pro. Cervello for treatment Jan. 18th.
and last Saturday the following re-
suits we're announced: Ten of the
patients were perfectly cured. nine
were almost cured. five showed great
Improvement in their condition and
two had died. Prof. Cervello presented
the ten cured patients to the Academy
OF Medicine for examination. Tt-
diagnosis did not reveal a single trace
OF tuberculosis.

PUT IN A BUSY DAY.
Legislative Candidates in Ward Do
Missionary Work.

Legislative NdhuludtoS IN Waru 10
Missionary Work.
All days look alike to the respective
candidates for legislative honors in
ward 5. Both men and their friends
were busy a greater part of yesterday,
improving the opportunity of finding
workingmen at their homes.
People of Quinsigamond say that Mr.
Hagberg has attended strictly to bust
ness all through the year and has rep
resented the ward as well, If not better,
than any previous representative, eth
err republican or democrat. They say
Mr.. Hagberg's popularity in the ward
was never greater. He has a faculty
of meeting people and retaining their
friendship.
Last year, the Office sought Mr. Hag-
berg. He had just returned from Cuba
and his friends realized that he was a
sick man, but they knew he would re-
cover and selected him as their candi-
date Mr.. Hagberg made no great pro-
misses previous to election, but his work
of the past year has resulted in more
than was ever expected from him.
He introduced a bill in the house to
reduce the rate of interest on overdue
taxes from to per cent and, in spite
of strong opposition, succeeded IN nav
ing it passed over the recommendation
of the taxation committee, who recon-
mended that it ought not to pass. The
Boston and Worcester press spoke Of
Mr.. Hagberg in the highest terms at
this time and predictions were numer-
Gus that if given a chance he would
make a great legislator.
