VIEW OF MICROBES

or late years the enthusiasts who
have been devoting their time to the
study OF microbes, and still more the
newspaper reporters who have been
looking at the discoveries made
through the mognfying glass Of live
~ Imagination, have startled the pub
lie with all sorts Of announcements as
TO the dangers Of the omnl-present bac-
terra. They have warned the dear pub
lie both against eating, drinking and
breathing until, were all the rules laid
down complied with. life itself would
be impossible,
Now We are told by Prof Norton in
Popular Science News that the danger
Is really TO oyerdo the microbe business.
He does not deny that there are some
microscopic organisms that are the enc
mics Of man, but he does assert that on
the whole such organisms are beneh-
clal THE varieties" he says. assoc
ciated with disease are comparatively
few, by comparison with the others
and that in the case Of the bacteria
that have been definitely identified with
specific diseases, II has never been sat

the cause, and not the product, In such
cases"
This latter information Is important.
For II that Is proven correct the en-.
tire germ theory will have to be further
considered and the practices based on
the assumption that the germs are the
cause instead OF the effect. may have

OPINIONS ON HANGING.

Whatever views are entertained on
the merits Of capital punishment as a
deterrent Of crime, the opinions OF gov
errors OF states where that mode Of
disposng Of murderers no longer pre-
walls, Is Of much interest.
Gov Stanley, OF Kansas set out TO
ascertain whether the abolition Of hang
ing had a tendency to increase mob vio-
lence. and to find out this he submit
ted a question on the subject to the gov
errors OF Colorado, Maine, Michigan,
Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
Governor Thomas, of Colorado, says
"the abolition has not increased the
tendency TO mob violence, The tendency
is rather the other way" which is pass
Ing strange in view Of the recent state
ments 10 the effect that the most in
human lynchug In that State would
not have taken place except for the fact
that the law ana not provide an adequ.
az retributIon for the offense commit.
ted Gov. Powers. Of Maine, is OF the
opinion that the abolition OF capital
punishment has not increased crime or
mob violence in Maine. We have had
no lynchiug since II was abolished. We
had one a short time before. do not
and am confident the people Of Maine
do not favor its restoration"
Gov. Scodeld, OF Wisconsin. rather
eyades the question He states that
there Is SO little mob violence in Wis.
cousin that it would be hard to con-
ce.ye Of more orderly conditions" while
the governor Of Rhode Island, Mr..
Gregory thinks, there is nothing IN
the record or crime since capital pun.
Ishment was abolished in Rhode Island
to indicate the deslrablllty Of its restor-
alton. To judge from the experience
and the public sentiment regarding the
matter, there Is no likelihood that II
ever win be restored"

HoFrs CONSUMPTION CURE.

Consumption cures have often peeh
offered unlortunates suffering from lhat
disease. but as far as known with no as
surance Of success. Another remedy Is
now proposed by the celebrated Vienna
physician. DR.. Hoff, and If what Is
claimed for It rests on facts, 1t at least
deserves 70 be widely known
The formula, as published In the
Washington Post is as follows:
"Arsenious acid part carbonate Of
potash parts, cinnamyllic acid parts,
and distilled water parts; heat until
a perfect solution is obtained, then ada
% parts OF Coguac and parts OF wat
cry extract OF opium which has been
dissolved in rs parts Of water and fill
tered"
Or. n the Latin version Is preferred;
acid arsenic. 4. Kal. carbon, dep. 2.
Acid cinnamylic. 3, Aqua destill %,
Coaue usque ad perfectam solutionem;
deinde aide cognac rs. Extr. laudan'
aqua. 2. Quod in aqua destill 20, solu-
tum ct deinde fltratum fuit."
DR.. Hoff recommends that this be tax
en- at first in the quantity of 6 drops
after dinner and supper, and that the
dose be gradually increased to % drops.
lie adds that he has tried the remedy
upon 200 patients, with the result that
mild cases were quickly cured, and that
partial cures were effected in seyerer
cases. When the disease has not pro-
crossed too far, patients are cured in
two months, but severe cases may need
to be treated a year, or more. II is alb
solutely necessary that the solution be
taken after the meals. DR.. Hoff cites
a case in which the patient had cavities
in the lungs big enough to put ones
fist into" yet he was cured in about
two years.
The Washington Post adds that the
Vienna physician is no quack with a
nostrum to sell. He submits the re-
suits Of his experiments for what they
are worth, without money and without
price, solely for the benefit OF mankind,
and the honor Of the profession he rep
resents, That fact is certainly worthy
OF consideration and appreciation.
