Killing germs by the Roetgen rays
At Big Rapids in the state of Michi-
gan young man is submitting him
self to torture in undergoing an ex-
pertinent to test tie efficacy of the
Roetgen rays in the cure of consump-
ton. The climate of western states,
the skill of specialists and everything
known to science were tried in vain,
whereupon the invalid went to Big
Rapids and placed himself in the
hands of An uncle, a we'll known
physician, who determined on heroic
measures. The young man bravely
submitted to the ordeal, and for some
time has been treated by the X-ray
process each day. The time of expos
ure has been heightened until fifty
minutes at one setting has been reach
ed. The theory is that if the Roentgen
rays kill diphtheria germs they will
kill consumption bacilli For a time
| the patient suffered Intensely. His
neck, chest, mouth and jaws were
burned so severely that big blisters
show the terrible effects of the rays.
At one time his mouth was fairly
closed and only by inserting a piece
of pipe could liquid food be admins
tered. The young man realizes that il
is life or death and willingly under
goes the tretament. He now feels that
the germs have been killed by the rays
and that by and by he will be restored
to health. He is able to wait on him
self, which is in itself encouraging,
and his physicians think there il
possibly new lease of life in store
for him. saltwater Gazette.

The first time that the chief of police took the chair 1t was seen thaJ the eviden"e was conflicting; more light might be thrown upon the case; the taxpayers, he saip, wanted to know JoIley's side of the ease.
