SERVICES rEOe TO All
InPaI'ds Who Call Upon
Them Before
July 10.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
.titute have, at the urgent solicitation
# a large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and July 10. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
dicted, and, under NO condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before July 10.
The doctors treat all forms Of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview q thorough exami-
nation is made. and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
DIR. Z. Valentine Heaton, the chief
consulting surgeon of the institute,

made in any other country. One hear.
; much about imported frankfurters; but
as matter of fact. the article is gen
f, orally fiction of the restaurant menu
, and the real imported frankfurter is at
| rare as the dodo. The decline in its i'm.
| portation is accounted for by the improve.
! ment In the home product. and the fact
that, although 1t is smoked. franklin
ter does deteriorate with keeping. To gel
1t at Its very best one should eat 1t not
more than two days after 1t is made. In
the old days the German frankfurter. even
allowing for the necessary deterioration
was better when 1t reached here than the
fresh homemade frankfurter: but the
glory has departed from Israel, and the
American frankfurter now has things
much its own way.
! OF course there are dozens Of varieties
, OF imported sausages to be found in the
delicatessen shops, but they are for the
most part the dry smoked sausages for
which certain districts of Europe are IA
nous. and the demand for them is COM
paratively so small that it would not pay
American sausage makers to attempt
them. The cervelat sausage is initiated
in this country and good deal OF 1t is
sold. The bockwurst with its mixture OF
onions and egg Is also made here and is
popular with both Germans and Italians.
It's quality depends largely upon the
freshness of the eggs used, and in the
good factories the eggs are selected with
the greatest care. s. $3.50
Bologna sausage shares the popular
favor with frankfilr.ers-both yielding
precedence to the unassuming but defect
able country sausage. There is bologna

who has eaten the original article sliced
in slices OF paper-like thickness in the
famous old sausage house of Bologna will
know that the American article has de-
parted from tradition. II not wholly
given over to tourist enthusiasm, he may
be open minded enough to admit that
they really do these things better in
America. The difference is largely 4 mat

The true Bolognese sausage reeks of it,
So do all Italian sausages. Even the Ger

obeyed-evolSing q mild and chastened

II one allows so unfmportant trifle as
digestion to influence his taste in sau-

sausage in favor of the inelegant bologna.

His Profession

Many things are changed in times of
war and bloodshed. but some remain
fixed anu immovable.
A surgeon in one of the hospitals was
filling up a blank for convalescent
soldier who had done brave service in
the civil war, TO which he had gone
from his New Hampshire home.
What were You by profession be-
fore the war;" asked the surgeon.
IL was Methodist, sir" answered
the man, and then he added stoutly.
And | can tell you. sir, that it would
take more than going TO another war
and losing my other arm TO change
mew
quite right" said the surgeon, who
suppressed the smile that was inclined
to come 20 the surface. Then he had
the tact 10 ask his question in another
form, which elected the fact that the
soldier had been n carpenter as well
as Methodist in days of peace.
