Recollections of an Old Man Who

In 1S49 Henry D. Thoreau visited
Cape Cod, walking from Eastman to
Provincetown on the Atlantic side,
and crossing the cape half a doz-
en- times on his way. In his book,
Cape Cod," he describes an interest
ing settler who remembered George
Washington.
We knocked at the door of the first
house, but it's inhabitants had all gone
away. In the meanwhile we saw the
occupants Of the next one looking out
the window at us, and before we
reached it an old woman came out
and fastened the door Of her bulkhead
and went in again. Nevertheless, we
did not hesitate to knock at her door.
when a grizzly-looking man appeared,
whom we took to be 60 or 70 years
old. He asked US, at first suspicious
ly, what our business was, to which
we returned plain answers.
How far Is Concord from Boston,
he inquired.
Twenty miles by railroad"

Didn't you ever hear Of Concord of

We were obliged to confess that we
were not in the fight.
This was the merriest old man that
we had ever seen and one Of the best
preserved. There was a strange ming
ling Of the past and present in his
conversation, for he had lived under
King George, and might have remem-
bered when Napoleon and the moderns
generally were born. He said that
one day, when the troubles between
the colonies and the mother country
first broke out, as he, a boy Of Is,

He remembered we'll Gen. Washing

to show US how he looked.
HE was a ra-a-ther large and port
ly looking man, a manly and resolute
looking officer, with a pretty good leg
as he sat on his horse. There, I'll tell
you; this was the way with Washing

NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

Chicago Physician Says Antiseptics
In Veins Checks Tuberculosis.
Experiments made in the last two
years by Chicago physician are said
to show that cure for tuberculosis
in it's minor stages has been discov-
cred. The treatment consists Of the
introduction into the veins Of the pa
tient Of antiseptic solutions in large
quantities.
DR.. Thomas Grant Allen, an instruc-
tor in the Northwestern Medical school
and formerly professor of chemistry at
Armour institute, has been close COL
laborator Of DR.. Wilfred G. Fralick,
Of New York, the first physician to
use the method in this country. Three
thousand infusions have been made by
Drs. Fralick and Allen, with highly
satisfactory results, and it Is probable
that an institution will soon be estab-
lished in Chicago for the treatment
of tuberculosis and other diseases by
the new method.

method first used by Baccelli, of Italy.
Baccelli and his Italian followers used
small quantities of bichloride of mer-
curry, antipyrine, silver nitrate, gela-

into the vascular system.
"Dr. Fralick's method differs from
Baccellis in that he uses large guam

Then the fluid is introduced by insert
