Bristersburg, Va. April 9th, 1908.
Winter seems to be reposing in the Ian
OF spring, but | don't think, from the
cool breezes that famed here on Satur-
day last, that her repose is very Quiet.
All nature seemed disturbed. The beau
tiful flowers, which a few DAYS before en-
ioyed the genial warmth of the zephyrs
OF spring, had TO yield 70 the mighty
rush OF wind, accompanied by the usual
cold snap OF this season, and the dis
tressing cry il heard that fruit shares the
tate of the floral kingdom Fondness for
howers should occupy a place Ia our
hearts, when the queen of flowers. the
lily, was mentioned by Christ for our
consideration, not to take undue thought
for temporal things. We may study or
reject other sciences at our option. but
the science of botany Christ commands
us TO study when he says: Consider
the lilies"

CONSUMPTION CURE.

German physicians have discovered
a new cure for tuberculosis. While
travelling in Australia, q German mer-
chant found the natives using an ex-
tract of eucalyptus leaves and roots as
a cure for consumption. He reported
his observation to group of Berlin
physicians and they have concocted
a combination of flowers of sulphur.
powdered charcoal and dried eucalyp-
tus leaves, the fumes of which, when
heated, they claim have deadly eff
feet on the tuberculosis bacilli with.
out in any way injuring the patient.
These physicians made a report at
the May meeting OF the Berlin Medl
cal society on the results of their ex-
periments. In one hospital out OF l20
patients treated, more than fifty have
been discharged as cured. The patients
were in all degrees of consumption and
some OF them had been considered
beyond relief
