Tests of DR.. SanarelIi's
Yellow Fever Serum.
PATIENT Is DOING WELL
BUT HIS RECOVERY rs YET UN-
CERTAIN.
Even Scientists of Paris Are Curious
to Ascertain if the Latest
Experiment Will Be
Successful.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July S.-Much interest
has been shown throughout the coun
try in the condition of Mr.. Lackey, who
is suffering from yellow fever This
case is one of unusual interest, fOF it
may contribute useful data for a study
of the effects of the antidOte suggested
by the experiments of DR.. Sanarelli.
The Herald has sent for 300 bottles of
Sanarelli's serum, which is identical
with the preparation used by DR.. Doty
This amount of serum would be suffi-
cient to give a thorough test to the
remedy. DR.. Doty, in spite of the fact
that many well-knOwn physicians are
not inclined to accept DR. Sanarelli's
discovery of the miCro-organism of yell
low fever, gave the theory of the young
Italian bacteriologist a careful and i'm
partial investigation. He isolated the
organism before the publica ton OF Dr..
Sanareili's discovery, and from cultures
which the latter sent him he was able
TO see that the two organisms were
identical. John Ferguson and John
TidwarSh, two yellow fever suspects on
the Mcclellan, did not contract the dis
ease The other passengers who were
sent to Hoffman Island for observation
are all we'll and are III cheerful spirits.
DR.. Doty said to-day that he could
not give any opinion as 10 Whetn9f the
man would recover or not. He has fire.
Quently seen cases where the patients
condition seemed to be encouraging, yet
sudden change would carry them be
yond the point where medical skill was
a BILE to aid them Mr.. Lackey has
received no medicines whatever and he
has not had ar injection of serum since
the third one administered at I o'clock
last Friday.
PARIS, July S-The publicity given
by the Herald to DR.. Sanarelli's serum
for yellow fever has not passed unnO-
ticed in Paris. Scientists are curious
to see whether the success that at
tended DR.. Sanarelli's experiments will
| be repeated. People are asking why
the United States has not tried the Sc
rum before 1t cannot be because the
administration was ignorant of Sana-
relli's remedy for it was officially Of
fered them over year ago.
1t appears, according to a statement
made by a Herald correspondent, that
when the Spanish American war broke
out the full particulars of the success
that had attended the use Of the serum
under Sararelli's directions and of the
means of procuring it steps were taken
with a view of bringing this invention
before the Government.

ENGLISHMEN MAY BUY
LAKES OF KILLARNEY
National Trust Asks the Owners to
Place Price Upon the

NEW YORK, July 8.-A World cable
from London says The World cor
respondent is enabled to state that the
National Trust, an English society un-
der the presidency of the Duke of
Westminster, which is devoted to the
acquisition and preservation for the
nubIic benefit of places of scenic or his
toric interest, has decided to purchase
the Lakes of Killarney if the owners
will fix reasonable price. The latter
asked $3.50, 900, an excessive price, but
the National Trust probably would
give $3.50 000 The money will be sub
scribed readily by wealthy supporters
of the English society, one millionaire
having already offered 100000 toward
the fund.

LONDON. July S-When Joseph H.
Choate, the United States ambassador.
declared at the banquet here July
that the presence of a thousand Amer
lean ladies at the reception held at the
embassy during the afternoon was
the most impressive evidence he had
yet received in regard to the impor-
tance of the EmbassadOrship to the
Court of st. James. he gave only
faint idea of the crowds of Americans
now in London. So great is the rush
that the steamship companies admit
their inability to cope with it. All the
transatlantic companies have ordered
from one to four new ships, but it is
impossible for many of these TO be
ready in 1909
The American and North German
lines are pushing work on their new
vessels to the utmost possible, bat they
hardly hope to have them ready for the
Paris exposition. The Atlantic Trans

The scenes at the Hotel Cecil. Metro
pole and other hotels on the arrival
here of the Majestic and St. Paul pas
sengers at midnight Wednesday were
the most exciting of the season. Many
Americans awaited De Wolf Hopper s
arrival at the Hotel Cecil. His tower
ing form contrasted strangely with the
diminutive Jockey Martin. who was
carried off by Tod Sloan, who had al
ready secured Martins license. An
idea of the pressure may be gained
from the fact that De Wolf Hopper
was unable to enter the Hotel Cecil and and
was compelled at 2 o'clock in the
morning. to seek temporary quarters
elsewhere. While patches of chorus
girls were still riding about at 3 in the
morning in d hopeless quest for shelter
Sloan was greatly rejoiced at the ar
rival of Martin. He says the English
Jockeys who have been using every de-
vice to prevent him from winning, VIII
now have two Americans to look after
Sloan thinks he and Martin will keep
them busy.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 8.-Con-
gresham W. NJ. Sulzer and II. Deman-
Vile of New York arrived here last
Wednesday, They were en- route for a
hunting tour in Alaska. To-day they
left for the north, but under far differ
ent circumstances than they had anti
cipated. The day after they arrived
here Mrs. Harrington New York"
was registered a the Hotel Vancouver,
and it was the bearer of that name who
made the third person in the romantic
occurrences of the last two days. All
three are credited with being very
wealthy, and the woman introduced
herself around the hotel as the fiancee
of Congressman Sulzer. 1t was evident,
however that neither of the men was
enamOred Of her, and they explained
that she had been only a dag behind
them in coming across the continent.
The Congressman and his hunting
friend decided to escape, and to do this
they booked tickets late last night on
the steamer Dirigo for Skaguay. The
woman in the case, however, became
possessed Of the idea that her two male
escorts were planning to give her the
slip. She accordingly mounted guard
on the hotel veranda She was clothed
in dashing serge skirt, natty sailor
hat and a SOmber cloak which some
what spoiled the otherwise bright effect
of the get-up. For two hours she
maintained a vigilant watch and then
she thought of the steamer that was to
sail for Alaska.
She found that the steamer must sail
at o'clock in the morning and she sur
missed that the gentlemen must have
made their escape by way of the ladies'
entrance. She started in pursuit, and
before long she, too, was booked for
Skaguay. When the vessel sailed she
was in her cabin, all unknown TO The

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
tion by Dieting a Dangerous
and Useless One.

We say the old way but really 1t is a
very common one at present time. and
many dyspeptics and physicians as well
consider the first step to take in attempt
ing to cure indigestion is to diet, either by
selecting certain foods and rejecting 9TH
ers, or to greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken; in other words, the starva-
ton plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but still the moment dys-
pepsia makes its appearance course of
dieting is at once advised
All this is radically wrong. 1t is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting or
starvation to a man suffering from dys-
pepsia, because indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
fiber in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good
wholesome, well cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they
cure the worst cases of dyspepsia; in 9TH
er words, the patient eats plenty Of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest it for him. In this way the system
is nourished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest the
food whether tile stomach works or not
One of these tablets will digest 5000 grains
of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest and
safest remedy for stomach troubles, and
every trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at so cents for
full sized package at all drug stores
