DR. Otis calls special attention to the i'm
portance of disinfection and renovation Of
rooms which have been used by consump-
tive patients. He relates a case in which
the daughter of the landlady of well-to-
do boarding house died of consumption.
Some time afterwards young woman
from the West occupied the daughters
room. She soon exhibited evidences Of
tuberculosis, and her physician, suspect
ing the source of infection. had her re-
moved. According to the authors knowl-
edge the disinfection of premises which
have been occupied by consumptive pa
tients and vacated either by death or re-
moval before they can be reoccupied, is
compulsory in New York city. Italy and
Spain.
In the city of Hamilton there is house
which has been occupied for three genera
tons by a family of doctors, the last of
whom, known as old DR.. Case, recently
died. The house is a landmark, and the
surgery door of the house is unique in the
annals of the profession. There is no bell
or knocker, but on the panels, at different
heights, are three well-worn grooves where

There is a tendency towards the belief
that hysterical persons often sham many of
the symptoms and manifestations. This
may be true to an extent, but not in all
cases, and the statements of these unfortu-
nate people are by no means to be treated
with incredulity. Among the criminal
classes Furstner does not believe that a
considerable portion of this class is hys-
terical, but it depends largely upon the Sc
verify of the condition as to whether a
patient can be considered responsible for
his conduct, the degree Of forgetfulness
following the attack being, to certain ex-
tent. an indication of the disturbance of
consciousness.

MISS ROCKEFELLER'S
HEARING is RESTORED
DR.. Muller Describes Method
of Treatment.
OTHER EUROPEAN GOSSIP

An American Woman to BE Elevated
to the British Peerage-London The
aters Well Epidemic of
Influenza In St. Petersburg.
VIENNA, Dec. 22.-The first details OF
the treatment of Miss Alta Rockefeller,
daughter of John d. Rockefeller, the
American multi millionaire, for deaf
ness by DR.. Isador Muller have been
made public. In a lecture before the
society of physicians DIR. Muller said:
"When Miss Rockefeller's case was
brought to my attention, it was so grave
that all known methods had been tried
unavailingly. I was forced to invent
new methods, which have fortunately
succeeded. These were two in number.
The first was to introduce small gold
plate into the ear, fashioned into the re-
quired shape. This Was placed between
the ear drum and the chain OF small
bones which transmit the, vibration to
the internal ear. This improved the
hearing so much that she could ~ tR6
ticking of watch, something she had
not heard for years.
"The second method was to replace
the destroyed portions of tympanum or
ear drnm by 'myringoplastic means.
Here again inserted small gold plates
This was tried only after every known
method had been tried in vain.
1.-TWO months ago the patient came to
Vienna for the continuation of her
treatment which I have carried TO an
unexpected point of success.

TROOPS ARE DISSATISFIED

Growing Dijcontent Among the Vol

oring to Be Sent Home-OfIicers Ask
to Be acknowledgements Confer.
LONDON, Dec %. - The Evening
Standard says it hears report has
reached London that Kimberley is seri-
ously threatened by the Beers.
None of the South Africans interested
in Kimberley have received information
tending to confirm The Evening Stand
ard $ report.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-Lord Kitchener has
completely shut off the news; several
cabinet meetings and numerous por-
tentous conferences are taking place at
the war office, while reinforcements of
cavalry and irregular troops are being
hurried out with all possible speed.
There is growing discomfort among
the volunteer troops now in Africa and
sop has been offered to them in the
form of increased pay and multiplying
the time credited to them. The lmpe-
rial yeomanry are clamoring to come
home. They went out for a year and
saw the pampered favorites of the
Household cavalry and the City Impe-
rial volunteers relieved, while they have
been given the nastiest work of the
whole campaign. The government now
offers to pay them $l.25 per day if they
stay. This is an increase from their pres
ent pay of % cents.
The colonies are demanding to be re-
turned. This is in the face of the great
Boer activity.

the canteens John was making his way
back to camp when a trooper ordered
him to halt, put down his load and get
up behind him.
John spent his Christmas in the fed
eral camp and was soon after sent to
prison in Ohio, where he remained till
the close of the war. On being released

friends or money, so he went to work as
day laborer He wrote to his broth
ers, but received no reply and supposed

taken prisoners and scattered.
Henry, who had got into Mississippi
regiment, went to that state after the
war But he returned this week to see
his relatives. The three brothers, with
the adjutant, were having a reunion
dinner at the house of Thomas Webster,
and were, of course, talking of war

years of labor and wandering over the
world. John had found his way back to
his old home just in time to make the
reunion complete.
The adjutant was the first to recover.
He called for the brandy John had gone
after for their Christmas in 1858, and
then John told his story.
