together Of all the symptoms, which
grouping is what gives each different
disease its peculiar character and dis
tinctive type, and enables the physi-
clan not only TO name the disease but
also to find its cause and the remedies
to remove it.
REMEDIES.
Thus the selection of benzoate Of
soda as a remedy in this malady was
not a hap-hazard one. and the dlscov-
cry of it's specification in the grip a
happy find. but was due to close OBJ
servation of the disease and OF the
indications which were presented by
It's various symptoms in a group by
itself. Benzoate of soda Is a drug
which was much used and highly
valued as a remedy in diseases OF the
mucous membranes by the older physi-
clans, but had been laid on the shelf
and been forgotten by the younger
generation with the introduction Of
the innumerable new chemicals. which
are even yet little understood as to
their action upon the system. Both
DIR. Glasgow and myself In 1887 select
ed this drug as the one to be used in
the treatment of grip, and our success
with 1t proved our logical deductions
to be correct.
II the abnormal condition of the ner-
vous system and the consequent sub
mucous iniiltration are not speedily
removed ana the patients health be
not fully restored the disease is apt
to become chronic and abnormal
changes take place in all the differ
cnt TISSUES of the body, but partlcu-
larry in the nervous system and in the
muscles, including the heart, which
give rise to u most extensive list of
symptoms, from mild general weak
ness to nervous prostration and 10 all
its horrible accomplishments of in
somnia, paralysis and even insanity,
or from rheumatic and gouty pains,
with chronic gastric disease. to
I5right's disease. dropsy and heart
failure; and it is particularly the light
cases, in which the first symptoms are
not we'll marked and In which the per-
sons afflicted do not take the proper
care of their health, which are fol-
lowed most frequently by these severe
after effects, which II often takes years
to completely combat. But even In
these secondary morbid conditions the
original cause may be easily recog-
nized, because the distinctive features
Of the grip are still present and indi-
cate the persistent use of the benZo-
ate of soda, together with other rem
cdies which may be indicated IN the
different cases, to obtain relief and
effect a cure. Carl Seller NJ. d.

Profit Sharing Plan.

The Scranton Stove works. which Is
one of our largest local manufacturing
Institutions. has inaugurated new
policy of proHt-sharing with its em-
ployes for the year 1901. While we are
not Informed as to the details. we
understand that II is to be upon the
basis of capital employed and wages
earned, each sharing in its relative
proportion, each 800 of capital repre-
senting the same relation of profits as
each 800 Of wages earned.
We have no doubt that this new de-
rarture inaugurated by the officers OF
this company, will prove of great bene'
fit to the concern. as 1t must, of course
be to all of their employees. We nave
been informed that every department
ran 2SS days during 1900, while some
of the departments We're employed
more than 300 days, or every WORKING
day excepting the five legal holidays.

Probable Cause of Delay.

Trade Journal contains a notice pub
lishcd by the Erie Railroad company.
setting forth that the approval of the
stockholders Is desired to Il PROPOSE
tior to issue preferred stock and bonds
to cover the recent purchase of the
Pennsylvania Coal company.
This would indicate that the Penn
syivania holdings are still in the con-
troll of the bankers and explains the
cause of the delay In the Erie COM

detail OF the mail dispatches ranging

men. 1 replied that he must relieve
Ladvsmith even at that cost. Butler tele-
graphed February that he was not
strong enough to to relieve Ladysmith
without reinf0roem ents, anc regarded
the operation in which he was engaged
as impracticable. L replied that my
instructions must hold.
There Is a general idea that the des-
patches have suffered considerable ex-
oision At the hands Of the war office.
The appArance of bubonio plague at
Cape Town seems likely to add TO the
diftculties of the situation.
From Delagoa Bay It is reported that
the British have occupied Erinelo and
Carolina, which until recently vera Boer
