The reports of the cure, by treatment
with goat lymph, of Mr.. Bush, a promi-
nent citizen Of Joliet, Ill, who, although
only 30 years old, had been pronounced
a confirmed paranoiac, have trav-
eled through medical circles all over
the world. The inventor of the meth
cd, DR.. Roberts, a Missouri physician,
some months ago started on a tour
through some OF the principal Euro
pean cities at the urgent request OF
some of the greatest specialists abroad
and always found that the fame Of the
results of his discovery had preceded
him.
Drs. pasteur, Koch, Brown-Sequard,
Hammond and others have been ex-
perinenting with the same agent Tor
years, but never with any degree Of
satisfaction.
Goat lymph has long been known as
a great revitaiizer, but as no means
had been discovered for keeping the
cells in active condition no great use
could be made OF it. DIR. Roberts has
in the remedy and great hopes are en-
tel'tained in reference to it. Some Of
the leading physicians of New York,
Boston, Chicago and other American
cities are enthusiastic concerning the
results they have been able to achieve
hy means of it. 1t has been found
great aid in treating cases Of epilepsy,
apopiexy, loconotor ataxia, atrophy,
paralysis, nervous prostration and
consumption ii its early stages.
1t is said to cure rheunatisln and has
been found very useful iii the case of
children whose mental growth has
been retarded from various causes.
According to the disease to be treat
ed, it is injected i'll doses Of from four
to fourteen drops one or more times
daily from two 10 three months. 1t has
only been found dangerous when adj
r1inistered by persons uninstructed as
to proper manner Of applying it Or who
have been unable to make a correct
diagnosis of the malady affecting their
patients. Some OF the most prominent
medical men in the world have well
coined DIR. Roberts most court eously
and every facility has been Afforded
him for demonstrating the efficacy OF
his remedy. He has introduced it into
some of the insane asylums, hospitals
and medical schools OF worldwide
fame of Vienna and other cities.
Senility is one Of the diseases due to
cell fiegeneracy and in al such the in
trod uction of goat lymph is said to in
duce remarkable improvement. Re-

tielnan has gone tc the Eternal City
with some OF the precious ife-restoring
liquid.
And now come runiors that this is to

said to be suffering from senility and

great weight with the physicians OF the

Roman medical practice. Hence the
consignment by special messenger
from Chicago. The physician in charge

tnred in that city expresses tnuch sur
prise that the matter has reached the
public ear. and, while he admits that
DR.. Roberts wrote of DR.. Haidwin's in
terest, also that the consignment had
been made. will make no definite state
ment as TO whether it will be used in
treatment of Pope Leo.
If it is true that the latter is suffering
from senility, doubtless the use Of the
lymph would be of iEcalcuable value.
But the case would require great cir
cunspection. in many instances of
this kind the results have been almost
miraculous. A patient soon begins to
look. feel and act younger. The am
billions of youth return. There have
been SO many well authenticated ac-
counts to this effect that the statement
may he made without fear of contradic-
ton. Although the wheels of time will
not turn backward, who knows what
grand discoveries in methods of pre-
serving life in its full usefulness NAV
lie before us? While one is not at all
sure that it is desirable that the num-
Der of mans days on earth be length
ened, there is no question as to how
gladly all would receive the news of a
probability of ontinued vigor until the
end. Old age would be robbed OF all

from boiling or roasting.
This requirement claims to have
been met by Ferdinand Holbery, OF
Macon, Miss.
One end of the apparatus consists
of a flexible bag-like affair which is
fasten around the portion of the
body to be treated, is kept in the
heat. TO this is attached large met
al cylinder terminating in trumpet
like mouth. The patients limb rests
outside the cylinder on a flexible sup
port. The open mouth is placed near
q hot stove or open crate. The whole
reclines on an adjustable framework
that it may be lowered or raised at
will.
Of great value also is the invention OF
the multiphone, a device for magnify
ing the sound from telephone or
photograph. A small resonance cha n
Der connects directly with the vibrat-
ing diaphragm of the telephone and
opens on the other side into an ordinary
speaking trumpet. This greatly in
creases sound passing through the in
strument. Many persons who are
slightly deaf are unable to use a tele-
phone. This invention will enable them
to do so with ease. NJ Dussand, it's
French inventor, believes they can be
installed in theaters and connected
with the atrophones. thus enabling

The eclipse Of the sun is total when
the moon passes directly between the
earth and the sun and wherever its
shadow travels darkness exists. The
shadow appears like a long. narrow
cone stretching away into space. Its
tip travels eastward on the earth's
surface at the rate Of about 1000
miles per hour, which is the difference
in velocity between the earth's rota-
ton 1,OCO miles) and the rate at
which the shadow glides through space
at eco miles per hour in the same di-
recticn. An observer seems to see the
shadow advancing with Hghtning-like
rapidity, sometimes in wavy bands.
The portion of the shadow where the
eclipse is total is called the umhra,
and is seldom over 16O miles in width
The portions en- each side where there
is less density are called penumbra.
It is said that the shadows cast by
leaves are sickle-shaped just before
the suns light is totally eclipsed.
The swift approach of the peculiar
darkness from the west is very i'm
