HEALTH FROM BURNING
LEAVES.
Experiments With New Suggestion
for Curing Consumption.

For some time the members of the Board
of Health of Posey county, Indiana, of which
Evansville is the county seat, have been max
ing experiments with an alleged new consump
ton cure. The treatment consists of the in
halation by the patient of the smoke made by
the burning of mixture of various kinds oil
forest leaves. The fumes are said to kill the
bacili in the lungs.
The discovery is said to have been made by
DIR. Peckinpaugh of Mount Vernon, Ind.
who has been conducting experiments for him
self. He interested the members of the Board
of Health, all of whom are physicians, and
they have also been conducting independent
experiments on their patients. The benefit
has been so pronounced that the members OF
the board have made an official request to the
county that they be followed up. At this re-
quest Posey county has set apart sum of
money which will be used in carrying on the
experiments. The tests will be made on con-
sumptives in the poor infrmary.

A light broke on DR. Jackson, and he
flung back his head, bursting into violent
laughter. Edith and Farrairt watched him

Then, struck by the bsirdity of the

his arrow in his by no means susceptible

the personality of the fair girl with the

Just now Hon. John L. McLeurin

Just now Hon. John L. McLsurin
is again beginning to attract public
attention, not that he has recently
done or said anything to cause the
dry bones of dead Democracy to
rattle with renewed activity, but from
cop1ectures as to his relations with
the new President of the United
States. Since the untimely death Of
the lamented Mckinley there are
those in the State who have been
free in their prediction that Nc
Laurin has lost his pull upon the
federal patronage which he is alleged
to have controlled through the good
graces of the late Chief Executive,
and consequently Progressive De-
mocracy, of which he is the most con-
spicious advocate, has sustained a
blow from the effects of which it
will hardly recover. This sentiment
is father to the thought and is but
the offspring of ignorance. Those
who oppose Progressive Democracy
fail to comprehend the length and
the breadth and the depth Ct the
enternal principles upon which the
super structure is reared. McLaurin
may pass away and perish; Admins
trations may come and 60, but the
principles of Progressive Democracy
will survive, because they are founded
on Justice and equity and are the
teachings of the fathers of the Re
public,
