TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS
SUGGESTED BY DR.. BROWN

One OF the largest and most practical
features for the coming st. Louis worlo
fair is suggested by DIR. George Brown
who proposed to the directors the holdlns
of a worlds tuberculosis congress, 70
gather all the eminent specialists or the
earth I'm a discussion OF this malady and
the best means of it's arrest, prevention
and cure
A congress of this character was held
last year in London. but 1t wa more OF
purely English meeting, although a Few
specialists we're present from other parts
of the world, including DR.. Brown NM
self The benefits of that discussion were
extremely satisfactory, but DR.. Brown
has conceived the idea that even
these results would be secondary to the
results obtained from a worlds congress,
having in attendance the greatest physi-
clans in this particular line from every
quarter of the civilized world
Dr. Brown has suggested that as an
organizing committee the presidents of
leading colleges and universities. con-
gressmen and senators, governors and
heads of we'll known medical societies be
appointed as an organizing council. These
could act together in appointing secre-
tary or secretaries, see that the congress
and its objects were we'll placed before
every community, and thus secure the
attendance at the meeting of practically
every eminent specialist in this line in
the world.
If the suggestion is carried out. it will
result in such a series of meetings and
discussions as will not only interest the
world, but will also hardly fail of provok-
ing much information of the very highest
Importance TO the medical profession.
The good accomplished by the congress
held in London so impressed DR.. Brown
that he has since been active in efforts to
put on foot a successful movement for
one in the United States. The English
congress was considered of so much inn
portance that it's members were enter
tanned by ROYALTY during the session.

celebrated aurist. 'by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many Of my friends:
"At the first symptoms of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear Eppermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck; !;
then with teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The water will fill the
ear orifice and flow over on the towel,
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost In
