Experiments on Human Beings.

From the New York Times.
An attempt is made by the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal to draw
a hard and fast line between justifiabe
and unjustitiable experiments on hui
man beings, charges recently brought
against physicians in several continent
tai hospitals have renewed the discus
sion of this subject. and though there
is no more prospect than ever of reach
ing final decision of the question in
volVed, still, it is well to know the
views of those best qualified to speak
Ones natural impulse, of course, is to
denounce the very thought of expert
mental research with living men and
women as it's subjects, but even little
reflection shows that medical and sur
gical science could not advance at all if
practitioners We're restricted to the use
of means and methods of demonstrat ted
utility.
Indeed, there never could have been
any such means and methods if such
restrictions had always existed and
been enforced. There is however"
says the Boston writer, "a point be-
yond which experiment should not 60"
and that point is passed, he holds,
when the Investigators zeal leads him
'willfuliy to expose to added disease
any persons, however previously af-
hicted or however short their term of
life may be-" Then he quotes with ap-
prevail this statement of the case from
the Medical Press and Circular:
"All measures, even if novel, which
may reasonably be expected to assist
in bringing about the recovery of the
patient without injury to his health
may legitmately be resorted to, with
the consent OF the patient. but meas
ures, whether by drugs or by opera
ton which have not for direct object
the cure of the patient, and which may
prove inimical to his health or condi-
ton, are inadmissible under any cir
cumstances and must expose the per
petrator to professional ostracism and
to penal rebuke."
Laymen will be apt to find difficulty
in accepting, and especially in harmon
izing. these two declarations The first
of them would seem to condemn the
system of fighting one disease with an
other, something that the Vaccinator
does every day with brilliant success,
and the second begs the whole ques-
ton and leaves the doctor without any
other guide than his personal judg
ment

Vided with the best education which it
is possible to get in this country would
agree to go to Japan, China, India,

studies the government would attach
them to its consulates and commercial
agencies. AS for Germany, Austria.
France and Eastern Europe. there are
young Americans already who know
the languages which are spoken there.
and who have acquainted themselves
with the course of affairs in those COun-

There is no easier method by which
a world power can get into trouble
than through unsuitable foreign repre-
sentatives. There is no better way to
cripple and to kill trade than ITO send
some pumpkin abroad to stand for us
among a people with whom we hope
to build up a profitable commerce.
There is no surer means by which to
bring disCredit upon ourselves and to
excite lasting distrust of our institu-
tions among other nations than by pur-
suing the policy of shipping away our
uncut politicians from the ward pri
mary and the gashouse to administer
affairs at important foreign posts.
There are plenty of clerkships, secre-
taryships, vice consulships and deputy
consulships to which young men of
knowledge could be appointed, and
with which they would be satisfied if
there We're promise and assurance of
promotion. President Angel knows all
about this. He for time represented
this government in China, and was re-
Gently our minister to Turkey. If he
should form a league with his fellow
college presidents and make his offer
formally to the government, it would be
interesting to see how it would be re-

instance responsible for present condi-
tons in that it refuses to enact legsla-
ton necessary ITO effect reform.

O'DONNELL'S DEATH.
Fenrlessness of the Dnuntless Irish
man Who Became Famous
I'm Spain.

In the early part of this century three
brothers named O'Donnell left their Ia
tive country, Ireland, and went to live
in Spain, where they all had extraor-
dinary careers. One died in 1867, after
he had become the duke of Tetuan,
though he was better known as Gen.
ODonnell; he was one of the most bril-
liant military men of his time. The
youngest brother was cut off in his
youth, but nothing in the lives of the
others is so strange as the story of his
death.
In 1892 there was war in Spain regard
ing the succession to the throne, and
young O'Donnell declared himself for
Isabella, who was soon proclaimed
queen; but before that time O'Donnell
fell a prisoner to Gen. .Zumalacarrequy, a
leader of the CarIist forces. The young
Irishman looked upon this as almost a
piece Of good luck. for the Carlist leader
was an old schoolmate. The two friends
celebrated this meeting after a separa-
ton of years as a festive occasion, and
as they ate supper together and drank
toasts to old times Zumalacarrequy
said:
Your captivity will be brief, my
friend. l am just about to send off
flag Of truce TO your general to nego-
tiate an exchange of prisoners, so that
you may expect to be free tomorrow"
The flag of truce was sent, but the re-
suit was terribly unexpected. The gen
eral of the Christanos Chat was the
name given to Isabella's partly an
swered the Carlist envoy by saying:
Il will show you how | treat rebels"
and forthwith he had all his Carlst
prisoners brought out and shot down
before eyes of the Christanos, and the
officer had no better news than the
story of their death to take back to his
chief. The next morning Zumalacarrc-
guy came into his tent where his pris-
oner was breakfasting. He sat down in
silence.
"What is the matter?" asked O'Don-
nell. Have you slept badly, or was
your chocolate burnt?"
Il am immensely disturbed" was the
answer, and he told how the Carlist
prisoners had been shot, and added: 81
must make reprisals. My friend, in one
hours time you must be shot, no matter
how | feel about it,"
O'Donnell set down his cup after
finishing his chocolate and said:
"Yes, that is a matter of course; you
must not distress yourself about it; l
would act in the same way myself.
Now give me a couple of cigarettes and
writing material, for must write a let
ter, which l will trouble you to take
care of after my execution"
As he was finishing the letter the
guard came to take out the prisoners
O'Donnell got up at once, shook hands
with the man who was both his friend
and his enemy, lit another cigarette
and walked out to be shot.-N. Y. Sun.

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Office of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na 3 known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congra tula-
ton and commendat tion testifying to
the merits of Peru-na as a catarrh rem
edy are pocring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

And thus success Shall be

And for the ladders topmost round
Strive long and earnestly.
Not all may reach the highest peak,
Not all the prize may gain;
But, In the conflict, each may hope
The victory to obtain.
Aim at the sun! Oh, be It ours
To strive the best to win!
The field is wide, and he who wills

But spurns the willing slave;
The prize is his who nobest strives
For fortune crowns the brave.

l lay for a time where | had been
flung, overwhelmed with the disaster.

for the gag in my mouth, | could have

lowing myself to be trapped like wild

ness of those moments, l did not pray
to the God who had so often and so re-
peatedly helped me; yet in His mercy
and goodness l was freed from my
straits, as will be shown hereafter.
In the meantime | was so securely
bound that it was all but impossible to
move, and the bandage over my eyes
prevented me from seeing anything.

the wet flags, where l lay, and in the
violence of my struggles gradually
moved the bandage, so that my eyes
were at last set free, and then, eX-
hausted by my efforts and half choked
by the gag, | became still once more
and looked around me. For all could
see I might have been as before-I was
in blank, absolute darkness. Into the
void peered, but could make out moth
ing, though l could hear my own la
bored breathing and the melancholy
drip, drip" of water as it oozed from
above me and fell in sullen drops on
the slime below.

for this is, most other ailments begin

what every other family in the United
