THE INJECTION TREATMENT.

We can readily understand the popular op-
position which met the medical profession
when they first began to administer medi-
cine by hypodermic injection instead Of
through the stomach. The ordinary person
could see" the medicine in a teaspoon, and
generally feel its drastic action in the stom-
ach. But the wise doctor very well knew
that half or more of the virtue of his
remedial agent was lost during the diges-
tive process. So the hypodermic needle came
into use. and Ia now universally employed
In all cases where 1t Is desirable to have
the remedy in its natural state reach the

DR.. sieber has been one Of the most per

attributes much Of the success of his com

Philadelphia, June 6-After accidentally
setting fire to her home, little Ethel Ash
worth dashed upstairs, awakened a young
brother and sister. and, taking the latter. a
baby, into her arms. made her way through
smoke and fame to the street outside. The
boy was later rescued by a neighbor.
All this happened while the three children
were alone in the house. 1t was about ten
minutes before o'clock in the morning
and the father, Frederick Ashworth, had
gone to his work. Mrs. Ashworth about five
minutes previously had left the house to
go to the corner grocery and do some shop
ping.
The Ashworth home is two-story brick
structure. After her mother had departed
Ethel, who is years old, and the oldest
Of the children, came downstairs and went
into the dining-room. While there she be-
thought herself of kitten and. thinking
that 1t was asleep under couch, she struck
match to look for 1t.
The match flared up brightly. 1t threw a
light into the darkest corners underneath
the couch. The cat was not there. The
burning match came in contact with the
couch draperies, and instantly the latter
were ablaze.
The little girl tried to put out the incip-
lent fire, but to no avail and it spread fast
Then, believing that the house was doomed
and thinking only of her sleeping brother
and sister, she ran into the hal! and up the
stairway to their room. There she roughly

however. The smoke and fire had awakened
all his childish fears.
Besides, Frank had not had time to dress,
and the little fellow stoutly refused to leave
the house until he was suitably attired.
But there was no time for parleying. and
hastily grabbing UP a coat, Ethel wrapped
hand, she led him downstairs through the
smoke and out the front door to safety.
The boy Frank and the baby Lavina Ethel
took in the house of a neXt-door neighbor,
Mrs. Robert Lawrence.
In the meantime Mrs. Ashworth had re-
turned from the grocery store, and was al
most frantic until told that her three chill
dren were safe. On the pavement. blinking,
and perhaps wondering what all the ex-
element was about, was the little Maltese
kitten, which had been the indirect cause
of the fire. 1t had evidently followed Mrs.
Ashworth to the store when she had opened
the door.
When the firemen arrived the blaze was
quickly eStngutshed, but not before about
$500 damage had been done The furniture
on the lower floors was almost completely
ruined. The Ashworths loss will be about
$3.50, with no insurance.

New York, June 6-The most remarkable
case Of cruelty and attempted robbery in
the police annals of Williamsburg was in
vestigated by Captain Burford of the Hum
boldt Street Station and two Of his de-
tectives, William Gillin and George Golden.
The victim of the daring burglar was
Louise Schneider. II years old. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Schneider.
The girl was in critical condition as a
result of her terrible experience. According
to the story told the police. she was gagged,
her hands were bound behind her, and with
a moose drawn tight around her neck she
was led from room to room in her fathers
house. while the burglar ransacked chests
and drawers.
The girls parents were out calling and
she was alone in the house. About O'Clock
she went to the bathroom and took a bath.
When she emerged from the bathroom and
stepped into her own room. in which there
was no light, she was suddenly seized from
behind and rough hand was clapped over
her mouth.
''If you scream or make a noise OF any
kind I'll stab you," said mans voice. and
her captor held knife before her eyes.

man drew from his pocket another rope. on
the end of which was slip moose, which
he threw around her neck. Then he took
a bottle of turpentine out of his pocket:
At the sight of this Louise screamed, and
he quickly saturated a handkerchief with
turpentine and thrust 1t into her mouth
as a gag.
Then, with the moose drawn tightly about
her neck, he led her from room to room:
In each room he ordered her roughly to tell
where any valuables were kept. She was
too terrified to resist or comply, and, al
