Letter Writing Ceasing.
From the Buffalo Times.

From the BunhIO IlhleS
The autograph letter is rapidly becoming
thing of the past. Shorthand and the
typewriter have killed it. No business
man nowadays writes letter. It is an
age of short cuts, and even literary men
find it more profitable to dictate than to
write their copy. One of the most sue
cessful of modern newspaper proprietors
confessed the other day that he had not
written a letter for seven years, although
his private correspondence amounted to
more than fifty letters daily. Cabinet min
listers alone seem to cling to the old tradi-
ton. Lord Salisbury abhors typewriter
letter and Arthur Balfour writes a large
part of his correspondence himself. Even
Mr.. Chamberlain, who is essentially up IL
date, seems to regard the typewriter as al
together inferior to the telegraph as a
vehicle for conveying his opinions

SALT A CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.

Startling Announcement.
The great value of salt as an anti
septic and the fact that nature ap-
pears to have made it an essential
ingredient in the food of nearly all
animals have made the medical pro-
fession very hospitable toward new
theories or discoveries regarding it's
therapeutic qualities. The doctors, in
fact, are never unprepared for the
announcement of some extraordinary
cure effected by the use of this wide
ly distributed compound
That pneumonia can be cured by
pumping an per cent sodium chic.
ride solution at temperatures ranging
from 120 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
into the lungs, however, naturally
taxes the credulity Of most physi-
clans. This achievement was an
nounced by DR.. w. Byron Coakley of
Chicago, in paper read by him be-
fore the American Medical associa-
ton at the recent convention at Sara
toga. That such a saline solution
would be death to all bacteria, and
would also have an antiseptic effect
upon diseased tissue will be readily
conceded. 1t is question of getting
the solution into the lungs in such a
way that the patient could stand the
treatment.
