The Origin Of tuberculosis.

Denver has become alarmed on ac-
count of the many cases of tuberculosis
which are reported to have originated
in that city. There was a time when
Denver was immune from that disease,
but of late years vitality statistics show
an alarming increase of deaths from
tuberculosis of people who have never
been outside of Colorado. A reaction
has set in, and a prominent physician
asserts that it is improbable that tuber-
culosis can originate on the Rocky
mountain plateau. He says. 1T gives
me chronic disgust to see evidence of
germs on h brains of a certain class
Of doctors. I have never had come I'M
der my observation a ease of pulmonary
consumption that I could say developed
in this climate. Cases are reported,
however, by men of unquestioned abil-
ity and veracity, but it seems odd, in
view Of the fact that I have, without
boasting, had probably as large and ex-
tended experience as n in the profess
sion, and have never encountered a
case. Those advocating, and, incident
ally. alarming Colorado communities
with germ theories and dangers of in
lection, do not consider the difference
between this climate and that of the

evations. They do not consider the an

there is no decomposition: also, that
blood diseases, such as scrofula, syphi-

cured in this atmosphere, frequently
without the use of medicine. This talk
of microbes from the plastering and
walls of your rooms, and from dried

A Lie Nailed.

r. P. Barnes, district attorney for the
counties of Grant and Sierra, as most
men In the public service in New Next
co, has been attacked by the irrespon-
sible Democratic-P opulistic daily at
Las Vegas. He compelled tina paper to
publish a letter denying the latest at
tack made upon him. The letter in part
says: THE writer of the article men
toned, gratuitously supplying me with
exact and forceful words, states that
my appointment as district attorney by
Governor Otero was made upon condi-
ton that l support the coal oil bill in
the legislature, and that I have said 30.
l deny directly and unequivocallv the
fact that such a condition existed as to
my appointment; that Governor Otero
at any time mentioned or implied such
a condition, and that I aver stated that
such a condition existed or was men,
toned or implied"
Further comment Is unnecessary, as
the Las Vegas daily gets tripped up in
that manner every once in awhile.
