DIR. LORENZ' SUCCESS.

When DR.. Adolph Lorenz, the Gel
ebrated Austrian specialist, came to
this country some time ago and an
nounced that he could cure the little
cripple daughter of Mr.. J. Ogden
Armour, the millionaire of Chicago,
serious doubts were expressed by
prominent surgeons as to his success.
The child was unable to walk, and
had been a cripple from infancy
But it was o seen that DR.. Lorenz'
methods, while apparently simple.
were wonderfully effective. And now
he has returned and removed the
cast from the leg of the child, and
she is walking about the house tol
the first time. i
During his stay in this country DR..
Iorenz performed similar operations
upon a number of children with the
same afdiction and relieved a great
deal of suffering free of charge. Not
only that, but he introduced into this
country his methods, which have al
ready been adopted by a number OF
surgeons, and thus it will be possible
hereafter to relieve many sufferers

from c~ongenital d~islocation of the
hip and other forms of lameness.
This new and highly effective sys-
tenn of treatment was introduced in
America largely by reason Of the
fact that Mr.. Armour had plenty of
money. He was willing to pay any
amount to relieve his child's affiic-
ton, and it is said that he paid DIR.
Lorenz $50, 900 to come to America
and perform the operation. And
thus from this one case has devel-
oped in this country a most valuable
surgical system, which will, within
the next few years, relieve the suffer-
ings of hundreds and perhaps thOus-
ands of unfortunate people. DR.. Lor-
enz' name will be conspicuous in the
future history of American surgery,
and many a heart will feel a life
long gratitude to the famous foreign
er. He has done more to remove
sorrow and suffering than the COM
bined philunthropic efforts of half a
| dozen financial magnates.

ACROSS ASIA MINOR.

Bagdad is on the Tigris, which flows
with the Euphrates into the Persian
Gulf. Bagdad and Constantinople are
about 1000 miles apart, and Bagdad
is 800 or 400 miles from the Persian
Gulf. The gap between Smyrna or
Constantinople and the Persian Gulf
via Bagdad is TO be filled by a rail-
road, thus affording another and
quicker route to India, and Java,
and Southern China at least.
Short lines extend from Smyrna or
Constantinople towards Bagdad, but
none are o than three hundred
miles long. Englishmen built the
road that extends from Smyrna to
Diner, and French capitalists have a
railroad extending from Smyrna to
Afiun Kara Hassar, and a German
line connects Scutari with konith.
None Of these lines have southern
connections OF outlets.
But England, France and Ger

HAVE ROSY COMPLExIONS
DR.. Wiley's Washington Subjects Are
Envied by the Women.

Washington, April 15.-Dr. Wiley con-
tinues to guard the food experiments
which he is conducting with a dozen or
more clerks in his department with the:
greatest secrecy, under orders from Mr.
Wilson, the secretary of the agriculture
Nevertheless, as the young men are not
kept indoors all the time 1t is impossible;
to conceal any effects which the poisoned.
food may nave upon the subjects of the
experiments.
Although there ave been no marked
changes in any of the young men SO
far as health is concerned, it has de-
veloped within the last week that those
who nave been at the doctors table are
aking on a delicate pink complexion,
which, it is said, would be the envy of
any young miss in the land. It is not
thought that this is due to the. borax
which has been given to the young men
in their food for the last few months,
but to some chemical ingredient which
has been mixed with the food unknown to
the subjects.
This change in the Doctors b9arders
caused some concern at first until a
thorough examination was made of all
of the young men and they were found.
to be in perfectly healthy condition.
