The Wisdom Of the Levee
Problem.

As the editor Of the Vicksburg Demo-
crat, Capt. Julius Lengsfeld, is high
water veteran, the following relative to
the duty of the hour is well worth our
reproduction and endorsement
The levees run through many states
and are under many independent admin
istrations. They must be brought under
one control and must be bulded wide,
strong and solid and given seciti1ity and
confidence like the dykes of Holland,
that the valleys may bloom and blossom
and yield its bountiful muniicence in
peaceful security to the myriads of busy
population who consume the nlannfac-
lures of the east and great west. while
adding to The wealth of tile most pro-
gressive nation in the world"
We have combined here the whole of
the practical wisdom of the levec ques-
tion-'they must be built wide, strong
and solid, and give security and conf
dence like the dykes of Holland" This
can be done, and it must be done. The
only issue the Herald takes with what is
quoted from the Democrat is to the letter
"y"-we spell it dikes. We may find
comfort in the history Of their bnilding
i'll Holland. In the days of imperfec-
tions of construction they used to give
way, with destruction of life and prop
erty never known in our levee disasters.
The dikes were then pronounced failures,
and the abandonment urged of what is
today the most prosperous farming
country of the globe. But the sturdy
Dutch continued the brave struggle-to
build dikes under scientific methods.
The system was brought under one ad-
ministration and the works made strong
and solid" Thirty years ago this one
administration appropriated annually
$2,5OO,OOO for dixie construction and
maintainance-its work supplemented
by local watch and ward, and sum
mons of concentrated popular aid at
points of threatened danger.-Vicksburg

Teller Institute for Medical Research.
Prof. Behring, of Vienna, is also con-
spicuously gaining the attention Of
the medical fraternity, first because
of his discovery of the d%iphtheria
antitoxin, which is yearly saving the
lives of thousands, and more recent
ly by his experiments with tubercu-
losis. The death rate from d%iphtheria
has been reduced to but 4 to 6
per cent. from 80 10 80, by means
of antitoxin. DIR. Behring hopes to
reduce that of tuberculosis proper
His first efforts were
toward eounteracting the disease in
Having produced a serum
which rendered them immune, his
time is now occupied in manufacture
ing one which he believes will, if adj
to a child, render it inn
mune through life. Results with
adults have not been encouraging
thus far. The germs of dysentery,
influenza and the plague have been
found and harnessed more or less
successfully, but there is still an al
unlimited field in which small
box, cholera, cancer and other dis
eases are having things very much
their own way.

has no fresh food, free from its own
specific poison, upon which to feed.
In the case of many of Il most com
mon and ~virulent diseases the bacil-
lus has been isolated and for their
treatment an antitoXin has been Sc
cured. There IS, however, an almost
endless number which have thus far
baffled all scientists.
p Nearly everyone is aware that the
antitoxins in general use are OBJ
tanned from horses, and the methods
of securing them are being constant
~ improved upon. Of course the first
thing to be considered is the isola-
ton of the offending microbe from
the thousands of different variety
which surround it. This presupposes
the fact that the wicked one is so
we'll known as to be recognizable;
hat his portrait hangs in the germ
rogues' gallery.
After the bacteria are removed
from a sufferer, they are mor care
fully cultivated than most plants, the
usual medium being bouillon prepared
from filtered, sterilized water and
fresh beef. After standing for a few
hours, the boufAon is strained, refill
tered and resterilized. For several
days, a process of reboiling, steriliz,
ing and filtering goes on in white
dust-proof closets, by men dressed in
most immaculate white. 1t is kept in
sterilized jars, stopped with sterilized
cotton. When this bouillon has be-
come absolutely free from all germs,
it is inoculated by having the bacilli
dropped in from the point of a needle
of glass and platinum. The germs
multiply as rapidly as in a human
body, for the bouillon is kept in a
warm incubator for about ~ hours,
when it may be seen to be covered
with a ghastly-looking, greenish
crust, a toxin which is a hideous mass
of the disease to be treated, consump-
ton, diphtheria or whatever has been
cultivated. 1t is then injected into
guinea pigs which die and are opened
and examined. If it is found that the
toxin was pure, it is injected into an
antitoxin horse. Before one of these
horses is utilized for this purpose,
he is tested to ascertain if he be free
from all disease, by receiving an in
lection of mallein, a fluid which will
arouse into activity any disease

A FAMOUS IRISHM
Erected in Hungary's Prin-
cipal City.


A monument to Count John Butler,
the Irish-Hungarian, famous for his
charities, was lately unveiled amid
much enthusiasm at Buda-Pesth, saws
a London report. Count John was a
descendant of the Butler who assist
ed in the murder of Wallenstein, hero
of the Thirty Years War, for which
deed the emperor of Germany reward
ed him with a counts coronet. In
the course of time the family ac-
quired immense wealth, and is now
among the biggest landowners in
Hungary, as well as Bohemia and
Bavaria, the head of the family, how
ever, always choosing a military ca
reer. The Butler commemorated by
the monument was as we'll known for
his charities as for his matrimonial
troubles. When a youth Count Dory
compelled John, revolver in hand, to
marry his daughter Josephine. He
fed during the wedding night, and
afterward refused to recognize Jose.
phine's child. The divorce suit he
brought against his wife lasted So
years, until the day of his death.
Even his change of religion, from
Catholic to Protetant, did o obtain
him a decree.

and learn how it can be done.
A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three
and a half miles from Trenton, No.,
saws: "a severe cold settled in my
kidneys and developed SO quickly that
l was obliged to lay off work on account
OF the aching in my back and sides.
For a time | was unable to walk at all,
and every makeshift | tried and all the
medicine 1 took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until l was unfit for anything.
Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised as a sure-cure for just such
conditions and n day when in Tren-
ton she brought a box home from
Chas. A. Fosters drug store. l followed
the directions carefully when taking
them and l must say l was more than
surprised and much gratifed to
notice the backache disappearing
gradually until it finally stopped"

medicine which cured Mr.. Boyce will
be mailed on application to any part
of the United States. Address Foster

A Cure for Dropsy.

Sedgwick, Ark, June 22d.-Mr. W. s.
Taylor of this place says:
My little boy had Dropsy. Two doc
tors-the best in this part of the country
told me he would never get better, and
to have seen him anyone else would have
said they were right. His feet and limbs
were swollen so that he could not walk
nor put on his shoes.
when the doctors told me he would
surely die, / stopped giving him their med
icine and began giving him Dodd's Kidney
Pills. | gave him three pills a day and at
the end of eight days the swelling was all
gone, but as l wanted to be sure, | kept on
with the pills for ONE time, gradually re-
ducing the quantity, till finally | stopped
altogether.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my
child's life. Before using them he was
a helpless invalid in his mothers arms
from morning till night. Now he is a
healthy, happy child, running and dancing
and singing. l can never express our
gratitude.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured our
boy after everybody, doctors and all, had
given him up to die"

which may happen to Turk in his
system. If he be healthy, the mallein
will not affect him. Being proven
healthy, the first injection of toxin,
about one-half a thimbleful, or one
cubic centimeter, is introduced into
his blood from n syringe of glass and
silver by a thoroughly sterilized, disin-
fected, Whitehead, clean-shaven physi-
clan, in a white enameled stable. For
three days, the horse is very i'll, eat
ing nothing. His bones are sore. He
swells, then slowly RECEIVERS. In ten
days, he is quite well again, when an
other injection is given, this time of
three cubic centimeters. He becomes
ill. but less so than in the first in
stance. Ten days later. 20 cubic
centimeters are administered. The
effect of this is hardly perceptible.
Bv the end of two months, more than
one pint or 500 cubic centimeters are
given without producing any lief
fects. This dose would kill a large
number of ordinary horses, but our
friend has become immune, that is.
his system is able to resist any num-
Der of ike germs introduced, because
it contains so much of their own
poison, hat they have nothing to
feed upon and die from an overdose
of themselves.
Now that this antitoxin quality has
developed in the animal, each month
eight quarts of blood are drawn from
him, while every ten days he still re-
ceives an injection of 500 centimeters
of toxin. Thus his antitoxic power is
kept up. He suffers no inconvenience.
His health is good, he exercises mod
erately and eats his sterilized grain
with relish. If he goes to pasture for
a month or two, his antitoxic power
is impaired and he has TO begin all
again with his first dose of one
cubic c~entimeter of toxin which rem
ders him i'll as at FIRST. After being
