At Wednesdays session OF the
American Medica. association ut
Columbus, O.,a sensational report was
presented on the cure Of consumption
by Francis Que crotte, the eminent
and widely known chemist OF Paris,
France. Mr.. Crotte has cured more
than 1000 hopeless consumption
cases, sDd in support Of his statement
he has offered to treat and cure gratis
500 cOnsumptives from the different
states 10 the union. He comes to
America with the highest credentials
from the most eminent physicians
and the press in Europe who aver the
truth Of his statement. The treat.
ment is very scientific and consists of
inhslatlons OF formaldehyde vapor,
transported directly through the tis.
srps by the aid Of light tension static
electricity. He is establishing sani-
tarium at Pekin, Ill.,, and clinics at
New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Much interest was manifested in the
report and many Of the physicians
Immediately took pains to interview
DR.. Crotte more closely on his dis.
cOvery. A number Of eminent physl.
clans expressed the opinion that an

Summer Schools.

The discontinuance during the last
year or two OF certain summer schools
that were once we'll patrOnized may
have led to the influence that the sum.
mer school movement In this country Is
on the decline. While it may possibly
be true that the total number of
summer schools holding sessions in
1899 will be somewhat less than the
number Of such institutions, say,
three or four years ago, 1t should not
be inferred from this that the actual
amount OF scholastic work done
during the summer months in this
country has suffered a decrease. Ou
tho contrary, it is probably true that
. larger number of teachers and
students will be occupied 10 such
work during the coming summer
than at any previous time In our
history. The fact is that summer
work has been more effectively
organized all along the line. Colleges
and universities which a few years
ago were practically closed for nearly
or quite three months Of the year are
now throwing open a considerable
part OF their equipment for the use Of
summer students. THERE'S a marked
tendency, east and west, to dignity
this summers work Of the universi-
ties and colleges-if not altogether
to follow the example of the Univer.

quarter equivalent with any other
