DIR. ROBERT Mcguire, q London bacteriologist

reported to have announced that solution Of for
maldehyde administered hypodermically is a cayz
for tuberculosis This treatment, says DR.. Mcguire
not only checks the progress of the disease, but in
course OF time aids nature to restore the affected
lung tissue to its original condition. statement
that seems incredible to the layman 1t is well
known that formaldehyde is specific against the
germ Of tuberculosis; it is by no means new dis
oovery and has been recognized as valuable anti
septic for some years. but hitherto no one mas at.
tempted to administer it internally. But Dr. Mcguire
says advanced have boon permanently cured by
his treatment. It is too good to believe.
Alleged Consumption cures have been drug
on the market for some time. Each year-nay, each
month some enthusiast appears with "sure cure
for the disease; and while it must be admitted tina,
all these various have merit SO far none have
been able to deliver the goods. They have all been
evolved through careful study and observation, and
under certain conditions perform what is claimed fol
them but up to the present time neither preventa
tive reliable cure for tuberculosis even in its
earliest stages, has been discovered The efficacy oil
any given treatment seems to depend for the mos,
part on the individual to be treated What benefits
one patient in climate diet general treatment has
no beneficial effect upon another, and vice-versa
For this reason cure for the disease can be &C.
cepted such until it has been subjected to thor

In A letter to the editor of The MIRROR we'll
known twin city newspaper man makes some very
pertinent remarks the controversy between Three
Stars" and 20. T." being carried on in these
columns. The writer of the letter in question has
had years Of training in almost every department
including the 'spolice run"-of metropolitan daily,
and is consequently an observer of men and events
He says:
II read with considerable interest the amusing
and instructive controversy between Three Stars
and q. T. in your paper. Both men are clever and
WELD sharp pens. incline to the view presented
by q. T., broadly speaking tho there is much
truth in Three Stars assertions I remember a
little experience recounted to me by lawyer friend
of mine which possibly sways in favor of G. T.
He was called upon once to defend man for high
way robbery. The Judge appointed him, as the
defendant had no means of procuring an attorney.
The case was lost and the man served his time. He
came out with lot of good intentions but discovered
that fly bob was tagging him the minute he
struck town again. He behaved himself but that
made difference; he was watched just the same.
He took pains to keep out of bad company, for he
knew that if trick WAS turned anywhere, he would
be suspected In desperation he went to the attorney
who had defended him and pleaded with him to use
his influence to have the detectives leave him alone
The attorney told me that, rough as the man was,
he wept when he told how he was being bounded.
The lawyer went to the mayor and the chief Of
police and explaining that the man was trying to
live honestly, asked that he be given fair show
This promised and the ex- convict got along
pretty we'll for while. Then the wise detectives,
thinking that they doing-wel I don't know
what they thought, but they told everywhere the
man went what he had BEEN In theory the ordinary
employer is supposed to overlook the record but in
practice it didn't work. Briefly the man lost job
after job and finally did something that landed him
After all it depends the man. but, unfortunately
all are not equally strong and all men have not
the same number of friends-some, in fact have
very few, which makes vast difference. IF man
on coming out has few good, earnest friends who
will see that he has fair and equal chance with
other men, he will get along all right without doubt
But what of the poor devil who has few friends and
no educationf I'm afraid that it is problem that
neither Three Stars nor g. T. can figure out on
paper, but hope that both of them viii soon have a
chance to demonstrate their theories on the outside
and for the sake of both sincerely hope that Three
Stars view is the correct one.'
The MIRROR does not pretend to be able to
judge which side of this controversy is most true to
life, but it is inclined to believe that the case re-
counted above is exceptional one. AT any rate,
if there is any truth in the statements of aG. T."
publicity is the Such state Of affairs could
not exist if it were generally known and for that
the matter has been agtated in these columns

The annual report of the Life Saving Service
for the fiscal year ending June 3d. 1901 has recently
been published, and most interesting document it

of the inland states to whom the service is little

Atlantic and Gulf coasts, So are the great lakes,
sixteen along the Pacific coast and at the falls
of the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky.
The inestimable value of the service becomes
more apparent each year In the twelvemonth
covered by the report herein quoted there were 377
wrecks or disasters requiring the assistance of the

were exposed and yet only seven lives were lost-an
