For a long time the two year old
child of Mr.. p. L. Mcpherson, SO n.
Tenth St.. Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep
but two or three hours in the early part
of the night, which made it very hard
for her parents. Her mother concluded
that the child had stomach trouble, and
gave her half of one of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets, which
quieted her stomach aud she slept the
whole night through. Two boxes Of
these tablets have effected permanent
cure and she is now well and strong.

BATH CURE FOR LEPROSY
Consul at Canton Reports Triumph
of American Physician.

From Canton, China. comes the an
nouncement Of United States Consul
McWade that an American physician.
DR.. Adolf Razlag, has discovered and
demonstrated by experiment cure for
the hitherto incurable disease of lepro-
sy. says a Washington dispatch to the
New York Tribune. This cure receives
the Endorsement Of Consul McWade,
who declares that he has personally
followed the treatment as administered
to four patients and has seen three re-
turn to their business perfectly cured.
The foundation Of this discovery Is In
baths.
Sun baths, sand baths, warm and
cold fresh water baths and salt water
baths. together with medicated baths,
are the main features of the remedy.
The indicated baths include a wide
range Of drugs and chemicals used in
various stages. Together with the treat
ment Is the scheme of an island hos.
pital. such as has been planned for the
Philippines and is now In use In the
Hawaiian Islands.

The Other Side Of the Picture.

That there is another side to the
brilliant picture afforded by the coro-
nation durbar at Delhi is shown by
remarkable address delivered before
the late Indian national congress by
Secundra Bannerjee, who insisted that
the people Of India were not longer
children, to be daZzled by mere
pageant, but hoped for some substan.
ual concession as a mark Of the favor
of their sovereign. They had been
told, he said, that famines were due 10
drought. Other countries suffered from
drought, but did not suffer from fam
Inc.
Desutution was the root cause Of In
dian famine. The people were abso-
lutely resourceless, sunk In the deepest
depths Of poverty. living from hand TO
mouth. often starving upon one meal a
day, and died In their thousands and
millions upon the first stress OF scarcity
despite the efforts Of the government
to save them. Nor could an expiana-
ton of Indian poverty be found In the
increase Of the population or the spend
thrift habits Of the people. The census
returns Of 1901 disclosed the fact that
practically there had been no increase
of population and that the increase In
certain areas had been counterbalanced
by decrease In other parts of the coun-
try.
The remedial measures which should
be adopted in view of the retrogression
of the country are summarized as
follows: ~ The revival OF old indus
tries and the creation Of new ones: (2l
the moderate assessment of the land
