Training Boys in GERMANY

A writer describing in a Philadel-
phia daily the methods of schools in
Germany, states that the manual
training schools in Germany are es-
pecially intended for the class of boys
who idle away their time before and
after school on the street.
Theregular session closes at half past
two o'clock in the afternoon, and after
this time the boys who, either through
poverty or the Indifference of parents,
are not properly and healthfully en-
ployed must attend the Industrial
school for the rest of the day.
In the summertime the boys, divid-
ed into classes, each under the super
vision of teacher, are trained system
atically in all the branches of garden
i ing. At other seasons of the year the
boys are engaged at various light
crafts in workrooms. such as making
of baskets, brushes and brooms, and
plain carpentry. where the use of tools
is taught. Typesetting and bookbind-
ing are taught to the advanced and
older classes.
Each boy receives a small remuner-
alton for his work when it is faithfully
and obediently performed. The money
however, is not paid to him directly
but is put into savings-bank for him
and from time to time he receives his
certificates Of deposit.
The girls are taught knitting and all
kinds of sewing in the same system.

must, within six months after the

ods as these England and other count
ries have prevented the recurrence of
those epidemics which were SO dis
astrous century ago. The case is one
where the ounce Of prevention is
worth several pounds of cure.

VACCINATION.

How the Discovery of the Preventive
Virrs Was Made and Applied.
During the eighteenth century it was
common talk among the country peo-
pie of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox.
At time when this disease was one
of the scourges Of Europe such
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians in the cities did not regard
the country notion as worthy of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they in
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then it was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect of the method was to make the
inoculated person certain he was to be
seriously Ill, while the uninoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards was one Of the famous victims
Of incubation.
1t was left for an obscure country
physician, DR.. Jenner, to recognize the
scientific Importance Of the tradition
about the immunity of mixers. By
his experiments in 1896 he proved that
incubation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
a pamphlet on his experiments and
sent it to the Royal College of Physi-
clans in London. The manuscript was
returned with contemptuous reply.
The discovery was of too great import
ance not to make an impression, and
during the fifth year after his first vac
cination Jenner and other doctors vac
cinated 10000 persons in England.
In spite of the success of the process
there were many in the early part of
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience of the last thirty years
has demonstrated the value of vaccina-
ton beyond the possibility of doubt.
In Chemnitz, Germany, a city of 64,-
600 inhabitants, there was a smallpox
epidemic in 1901. About $4,000 of
the inhabitants had been vaccinated.
Only 1.S per cent of them contracted
| the disease. OF the unvaccinated more
than 46 per cent were Ill. Among the
vaccinated less than per cent of the
cases resulted fatally. Among the un-
protected the percentage was above 8.
Statistics Of the armies in Franco
Prussian war show the same general
results. The German soldiers were
carefully vaccinated, while the French
were not. During a widespread epi-
demic of smallpox the German lost
| only 450 men from the disease. while
the French lost 23,40O. In general it
has been shown that the danger of in
fection is six times as great and the
mortality sixty-eight times as great in
the unyaccinated as in the vaccinated.
Vaccination is compulsory through

Peruna cures catarrh in all stages
and varieties, whether acute or chron-

remedy ever devised for removing all
the arrangements which follow la

Dear Sir: Last week I was taken
with la grippe and catarrhal deaf
ness. 1 wrote you for advice and fol-
lowed your directions. After taking
two bottles of Peruna 1 found myself
well of la grippe, and my hearing was
fully restored. My health is better
than it has been in five years.

much after taking Peruna." Samuel

"A Sworn Statement.
A recent cure that seems almost a
miracle was that of Samuel Curnock,
of 81 Twenty-second avenue, Melrose
Park, Ill. The story is best told in
his own words. He says:
EARLY in 1898 1 began to expe-
rience worn-out feeling and noticed
that l became tired after very slight
exertion. l continued at my work in
the machine shop until July 2, 1898,
when I suffered from a fall, and after
that time grew rapidly worse. A ply
sician was called and pronounced my
trouble locomotor ataxia. He treated
me for four months and there was no
improvement in my condition. l was
tald that my case was incurable, and
that l would continue to grow worse
until death relieved me. 1 was not
confined to my bed, although I spent
much of my time lying down, and
was entirely unable to work. I could
hardly stand; it seemed as if my legs
would give out from under me, and
my movements were like those of a
drunken man. A cold numbness came
in my right side, and 1 lost the
strength of my right arm. Then my
eyes began to blur so that I could see
nothing distinctly, and in a short
time l became totally blind in my
right eye.
Last December I began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and within a month 1 was so much
improved that determined to persist
in the treatment. At the end of the
second month was able to return to
my work and have not lost day on
account of illness since that time.
Since began taking the pills 1 have
gained 80 pounds in weight, can walk
almost as well as ever, and my sight
is fully restored. firmly believe that

pie saved my life and enabled me to

La grippe is, strictly speaking, cpl

| riety of acute catarrh which is so con-
| tagious and runs course more or less
definite, the same as scarlet fever,
whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe
it is not very fatal disease, but the

Indeed, nearly every person who has
| had la grippe within the last three
years finds himself more or less de-
ranged by the pernicious effects OF
this disease. The majority of those
who have escaped death find life
scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people

and promptness Peruna would relieve
them of all the bad effects which la
