NEW FACTS ABOUT
BLOOD POISON.

DIR. Louis Turbin and other scientific
specialists in his class have made new
discoveries concerning the virus OF
blood poison ahd its origin.
For many years, in fact, all through
the past, it was supposed that poison
must get into the system from the out
side, but this has been proven not to be
so. Some of the most vicious poisons
are formed in the system when the liver,
kidneys, bowels and skin do not per-
form their duties.
! Death is often caused by the poisons
which cannot escape from the body
when the kidneys fail to act.
Recent scientific Investigations show
that paralysis is as often due to this
cause as to the effect of specific poisons
getting into the blood from external
sources or from being in the blood from
birth. Several years ago DR.. Turbin,
who is well known to a large number
of our people for his many cures in our
midst, made the discovery of certain
remedies which have the wonderful
property of destroying any form of
poisonous virus in the blood, muscles,
bones, nerves and organs, while it gives
new life to tissues which have not been
tainted.
His great discovery has placed him in
possession of a treatment which cures
Scrofula, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Rheu-
matism which is caused by acid blood
poison, and the vicious form of blood
poison which is marked by three stages,
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary, the
last stage being fatal as it attacks and
destroys the bones and internal organs
| No matter whether the poison of dis
ease has entered the system at birth,
has formed therein by sluggish action
OF the stomach, bowels, kidneys and
liver, or has been taken up by the blood
from external sources, the special treat
ment.of Dr. Turbin first attacks it and
renders it incapable of harm and then
drives it entirely out of the body to
make room for the building of new
healthy tissue In discovering and
applying this wonderful treatment for
blood poison, DR.. Turbin has become a
great benefactor, of the human family.
1t is now unnecessary for the victims
of blood disease to allow themselves to
be saturated with potash, and mercury
or other drug poIsons which can not
get out of the system without doing
harm.
The treatment of DIR. Turbin is of such
pure vegetable nature as to be impossi-
Die of injury no matter how long taken,
consequently it may be taken continu-
ously until every particle of poison is
removed and the blood and tissues are
pure and natural AS DR.. Turbin visits
Wausau regularly once every month
his patients have the advantage of be-
ing treated under his personal observa-
ton, and those who suspect OF know
that they are victims of blood affections
in mild or severe form, will be wise in
consulting him. During the ten years
DR.. Turbin has been making his regular
monthly visits to Wausau many have
taken advantage of his skill and now
enjoy perfect health which they once
thought gone forever.
The doctors record here is proof suf-
ficient that he may be consulted with
perfect confidence regarding any mat
ter that concerns the welfore of pa
tient.
DR.. Turbin will be in Wausau, Tues
day, Feb. 26 at the Bells House.

A CLOSE CALL,

The Masonic Temple came very near
being destroyed by fire last Wednesday
evening. A gas jet had been lighted in
the north corridor, near a stairway
which leads to the attic. Some drapery
near by became, ignited and this
dropped down and set fire to some
frames and other things, 4 / Larner
was in the hall and heard the cracking
and rushed in and was confronted by a
formidable fire. He grabbed up the
burning frames and threw them out the
back door, at the same time calling to
]. c. Clarke who was also in the hall ;
betgeen them they put out the flames,
bat MIR. s.arneE had his right hand
burned quite severely in doing so.
What the result would have been five
minutes later it is hard to determine.

ADDED A BILLIARD TABLE.

Always on the look out for means
with which to furnish pleasure and en-
joyment, and make life as less burden
some as possibli for the poor unfortu-
mates confined il the Marathon County
Insane Asylum Superintendent H. G.
Head last week added to that institu-
ton a billiard table This was pur-
chased from the ElkS, and was one
that went through the fire, at the time
their club rooms were destroyed re-
Gently. The table is as good as new,
with the exception of needing recover
ing. 1t has been placed on the lower
floor in the mems ward, and is being
made use of daily by those whose con-
ditiOn is such as to allow them to par,
ticipate in the game. Among those in
the institution are some quite proficient
in billiard playing, and these instruct
the others how to play. Great interest
is taken in the game, and some of the
patients will, in time, develop into
crack players.
L. E. Spencer, M. d., office in Nc
Crossen block opposite the Post Office.
Contesting a seat in the legislature is
a pretty expensive piece of business, as
was evidenced the past week, when on
Thursday Assemhlyman Herman Mil
ler presented 4 bill in which was asked
an appropriation of 81, $50 to defray the
expenses of Alfred Cook, in his contest
with Gil. Yandercook. The bill was
referred to the committee on claims.
Vandercook has not, as UT, filed his
bill Of expense. If every Office seeker
beaten was to air his troubles before
WiscOnsin's law making body, there
would be a bill that would stag
ger the tax payers of this common
wealth. The result of the contest above
referred to, however, will have a tend
ency to discourage disgruntled kickers
in the future.

where the village boys are instructed in
the general technical departments Of violin
building. In the hall of this building is an
inscription to the following effect: 1.-THE
object Of this school Is TO instruct the
scholars accepted In Its various arts COIL
nected with the manufacture Of strtnged
Instruments. and to educate them as capa-
BILE violin makers"
The course lasts three years, and en-
braces, in addition. the art Of drawing
singing and playing on the violin. In the
building of a violin much Is left to the In
dtviduality of the builders. 1t Is seldom
that two violins are exactly alike in every
particular. The villagers Of Mittenwald
are generally of opinion that the varnish
with which the instrument is covered Is Of
the first importance. and attribute the fine
tone Of the violins made by Stradiyarius,
Guarnerfus and others to q secret of var.
nish which has evidently been lost forever
