Alleged Cure for Con-
sumption.

Palermo, Sicily, May 10.-More
details have been learned about Dr..
Ccrvello's alleged cure for con-
sumption, which has aroused such
interest in medical circles.
The cure is powerful antiseptic
gas, which the patient inhales and
which exterminates the bacilli OF
tuberculosis.
DR.. Cervello has cured thirteen
out of fifteen cases OF consumption
in the hospitals here by bis new
method.
Previous reports Of Prof. Cersil-
los success in curing tuberculosis
of the lungs bv means of his new
system have reached this country.
Complete success IL said to have
followed all OF Prof. Cervello's ex-
periments with the new discovery.
OF 100 persons subjected to the
cure, sixty-five are said to have re-
covered, the rest showing marked
improvement.
On Jan. Is last twenty-six con-
sumptives were placed under the
treatment and recently . report VA
made to the Palermo Academy Of
Medicine to tue effect that ten bad
been cured, nine almost cured. five
showed marked improvement and
two had died.
Prot. Cervell0 reported the re.
covered patients to the Academy OF
Medicine.

Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
Now that the dreaded .'dog days"
are almost here, and many from the big
cities are seeking cool and healthful
resorts, few truthful observations are
certainly not amiss. IL uttered in behalf
of tie summer resort par excellence Of
Louisiana-the pfettiest, Gle auest, most
eligibly situated and the mcst healthy
place for . seasons stay or days out
ing.
Delightfully."- located on the north
shore Of the beautiful Lake PontchaY-
train, Dame Nature has lavished on
dear old Vaudeville her choicest gifts
lovely besrh, long spreading oaks
tall heslth-giving pines, fruits and
flowers of all varieties, picturesque
driveways and luxurious vegetation.
This would surely be sufficient attrac-
ton for the reasonably inclined hut
our inviting town has much more to
offer the seeker after pleasure, queitude
or sport. The waters of Lake Pont-
chartrain are fairly alive with fish and
crabs, and afford the angler splendid
chances to try his skill. Besides, one
can battle and swim, and row aud sail,
to his hearts content enjoying the
cooling breexes that sweep across the
broad expanse OF the Lake, while dis
cussing incidents of current history, or
simply talking nonsense, which old
Shakespeare says is occasionally ssrel-
ished by the best men," and women too.
Vaudeville is accessible BY both boat
and train. A more delightful sail than
"across the Lake" is hardly conceiva-
BILE, while strip by rail" is always
pleasant. Rents of cosy summer homes
are moderate. and board with accomo-
dations to suit all tastes and require
ments, while the denizens are gener-
ously hospitable, and deem it bOunden
duty to render truly agreeable the So
journ of the visitor, however brief or
lengthy. The ever flowing wells of
Natures purest:.water, impregnated with
elements that give siren tn and health
to body and mind, are objects Of admi-
ration and appreciation. Small won
der, IN view of these facts that Mande-
vile is free from epidemics.
That al these assertions are indis-
putably true is evidenced by the many Or
leanians who own summer homes here,
others from the metropolis and else
where throughout the South, who spend
season after season with us, and still
others who gladly return to the eGem
OF the Lake" after spending q summer
or two at other resorts.
We cheerfully give utterance to the
old time street car crv, ''there's room
for more," and that room, with its
enumerated advantages and attractions,
we offer to those who are looking for
ease, comfort, peace, health, pleasure
and sport, at moderate cost, confident
that one visit will charm them with the

Police Jury Meetings.

There appears to be an impress
sion that the Police Jury of st.
Tammany Parish meets too often,
and remains in session too long.
Some "knowing one' must have
made a complaint to that effect, as
the Grand Jury at the April term
of the District Court, inquired
into the matter. The result showed
that during the year 1895 the Po-
lice jury was in session nine days.
In 1896, nine days. In 1897,
eleven days, there beng one special
meeting. In 1898 they were IN
session nine days, and for the first
six months Of 1899 they have been
in session Eye days. The State
law provides that the Police Jury
must transact its business in not
more than twelve days, But the
Police Jury, which meets once every
three months, has only consumed
nine days out the year TO perform
its duties, instead of twelve days,
as the law allows, thereby saving
hundreds of dollars to the parish,
in the way of mileage and per
diem.
We do not pose as an apologist
for the Police Jury. as the men,
bers are all honorable men, and
can speak for themselves. We
merely make this statement Of
the facts, in order to refute a
wrong impression which appears to
exist in some quarters. and if not
corrected would be likely to cast
a reflection on the members of the
Police Jury of this Parish.
