FAVOR OPEN AIR.
ST. Louis Physicians Declare 1t Is the Best
Method Known for Consumption.


st. Louis, July 14.-St. Louis physi-
clans favor the open-air treatment for
consumption, and even go so far as to
state that If taken early enough in the
course of the disease. a cure is more
than probable. The difficulty incurred
in giving this treatment here is the
climate. but 1t Is argued that the con-
stitution, when undermined by the
dread disease Is hardened. In a way
and violent changes in temperature
do not have the same effect that they
have upon a perfectly we'll person.
Consumption is a disease that slowly
eats away the tissues Of the body, and
any treatment that will build up the
system faster than 1t is destroyed is
inclined to overcome the inroads OF
the disease. The .open-air treatment
gives the system plenty of oxygen and
strengthens all the tissues of the body.
Physicians are unanimous in the
statement that there is no cure for
consumption. but supplying what is de-
stroyed by the disease they argue, is
the best method known to science. a
change of climate is not so necessary
as plenty of air, and that of the purest
character.

Chicago, July 15.-While the whole

completely paralyzed. and while its
business men are standing a loss of

they came back without results The

they can endure the situation but a
short time longer. 1t is costing them
more than either the strikes or the
railroads and obey and say that if the
strike shall not be settled within a
week many of them will be badly
