UNABLE TO STAND FOR MONTHS

soreness, is that of Mrs. G. Thomas,

Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten VI

suggest that had she called in any
weil-known medical man he would

fifty years, and doctors know there Is

st. Jacobs oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different inter-

committees who made the awards were
in each instance composed largely Of
the most eminent medical men OBJ

not know the high opinion in which
st. Jacobs OIL is held by almost every
progressive medical man.

perhaps Van Ness would fancy an afr
ing. He sprang up hurriedly to take
advantage of this wonderful sugges-
ton with every mark of delight But
they were not away long Soon Ash
bee. with a suspicion of vainglorious-
ness, asserted an unimpaired power
over the belle by drawing her away
for walk of his own, thus summarily
regulating and avenging his sights.
In the secret places of his heart,
however, there was the most penetrat-
ing humility. It's marbleness was
merely, a shrine for very penitentiat
prayers. Ashbee had flirted and gay
ly deceived ever since he had first
donned the insignia of his sex's dress
or even before, but he still bewailed
every gentle heart he had afflicted He
felt now that 1t would not do to have
this one more girl imagine he was
serious when-well, when everything
was joke Rozelle must be warned,
even II 1t was going to be very hard
and very awkward. So when they
came out among the walnuts where he
had always waxed most sentimental he
began softly and slowly with:

it's mighty tough to say 1t. But don't

Then the lady spoke

InocuIated with Deadly Germs, to Dis

fraternity is particularly interested in
her case. because it demonstrates
whether tuberculosis can be transmit

DR.. Koch, the eminent German adj
mitted to be an authority on diseases
OF the lungs, created something Of a
sensation last summer by the an
nouncement that bovine tuberculosis
Is incommunicable to human beings.
This assertion was contrary to the gen.
orally accepted belief. So well ground
ed was the idea that tubercular germs
In COW could affect a person, that by
order of the government, thousands of
head of cattle thus affected have from
time to time been killed, In order that
the disease might not be transmitted to
persons drinking their milk. Accord

DR.. George D. Barney of Brooklyn. He
set out to demonstrate it's accuracy or
falsity, as the case might prove to be.
Purchasing healthy cow, he injected
a broth containing tubercle from a hui
man being into the animal. The COW
was soon in the advanced stages of the
disease. Having proved DR.. Koch's
theory would not work backward, his
next thought was to demonstrate that
it was not tenable as originally stated.
At this time he was treating Miss King
for tonsilitls and, on one occasion,
mentioned the fact that he was looking
