GOLFERS BRAIN Is
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

Sliced into minute fiecks and
mounted on glass slides, the late
Frank Golfers brain is being sub
jected to the searching sight of a
microscope under the trained eye of
l nerve pathologist. DR.. Thor Roth
stein. e the University # Chicago.
Collier is the Chicagoian whose ac-
tions here during the summer of 1900
caused such a sensation.
The first discovery of Importance
was made Thursday, when the doctor
announced that he had found some
peculiar degeneration of the brain
cells of the once brilliant attorney.
The specific nature of the discoveries
the doctor cannot make public until
ne has consulted with DR.. Ludwig
Hektoer and other professors con
nectcd with Rush medical college 1t
is said, however, that the theory that
Frank Golfers insanity was due TO a
blow on the head NAV have TO be
altered substantially when the differ
ent parts of the brain have been thor
oughly studied.
To make the diagnosis microscopy
zeal examination became necessary.
and this was taken up. as Mr.. Collier
before his death had wille' his brain
and heart to a friendly physician.
First the brain had to be taken from
the hardening solution and cut into
elongated sections about a quarter
of an inch square. These sections
We're then embedded in hardened par
affin. The strips of brain. now hard
and yet easily cut, were placed in n
machine finely adjusted so that the
slices of the brain were cut so thin
that 5000 of them were made from
sirglc inch.
These slices, which are transparent
were laid on glass plate l inch wide
and inches long. The wax was
melted off and Canadian balsam was
dropped over the fieck OF brain. a
small, thin glass about the size of a
cent was then placed over the speci-
men and the slide laid away TO dry
All this process has taken much
time ana tie actual microscopical en-
animation has just begun. With pains
taking care and study every portion
of the siXty-one ounce brain will be
studied and compared.

AID FOR THE HOSPITAL
Sisters of st. Anthony's TO Make An
nuaI Call for Sabscrip-
tiOns.

Next week the sisters of ST. An
thongs hospital will make their an
nual call upon the public spirited cit
liens of Rock Island who have been
so generous with them IN the past for
subscriptions toward the support of
this most deserving institution, on
which important and costly improve
ments are being made. The laundry
plant, which is a great aid TO the sis
tiers in lessening the labors OF the
hospital, has been completed and is
in operation, and the construction of
the addition is going ahead satisfac-
torily. Inc addition has been here
tofore described in the Argus and
will increase the accommodations of
the hospital to large extent. The
sisters also wish to return their sin
cere thanks to all those who remem-
bered them at Christmas time. Mon
ey cannot he given TO n better cause
than st. Anthony's hospital, and il is
hoped the sisters will meet the same
liberal response that has attended
their former visits to the people of
the city.

all forms Of catarrh, whether in the
head, throat, bronchial tubes, or i'll
stomach and liver.
The remedy is in tablet form. pleas
ant and convenient to take and no
special secrecy is maintained as to
what it contains, the tablet being a
scientific combination of blood root,
red gum and similar valuable and
harmless antiseptics.
The safe and effective catarrn cure
may be found at any drug store IN
der the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located in
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or
stomach, the tablets seem to act
with equal success, removing the
stuffy feeling in head and nose, clear
ing the mucous membrane of throat
and trachea from catarrhal secre-
tons, which cause the tickling,
coughing. hawking and gagging so
annoying to every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul-
ceration, in some cases to such an eN-
tent as to destroy the nose enGrely
and in many old cases of catarrh the
bones of the head become diseased.
Nasal catarrh gradually extends to
the throat and bronchial tubes and
very often to the stomach, causing
that every obstinate trouble, catarrh
of the stomach.
Catarrh is a systemic poison. inner
ent in the blood, and local washes,
douchcs, salvcs, inhalers and sprays
can have no effect on the real cause
of the disease. An internal remedy
which acts upon the blood is the only
rational treatment and Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets is the safest of all in
ternal remedies, as we'll as the most
convenient and satisfactory from
medical standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that he
had successfully used Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in old chronic cases,
even where liberation had eX-
tended so far as to destroy the sep
tum of the nose. He says, II am pleas
antly surprised almost every day by
the excellent results from Staurt's
Catarrh Tablets. 1t is remarkable
how effectually they remove the eN-
cessive secretion and bring about a
healthy condition of the mucous
membranes of the nose, throat and
stomach"
All druggists sell complete treat
ment of the Tablets at 50 cents and
a little book giving the symptoms
and causes of the various forms of
catarrh, will be mailed free by adj
dressing L. A. Stuart Co., Marshall,
