RADIUM IN MEDICINE.

marizes an interesting account of the
possible future applications of radi.

tically assured is at present not very
large. but in the medical field 1t Is al

ing of X-rays and in the marvellous re-
suits achieved in the treatment of can
Ger and blindness we have every hope
for great and universally benefiting
results. In its industrial application
we are somewhat restricted by the
extremely limited supply of radlum
available, but II is stated that a small
fraction of an ounce, properly en-
ployed, would probably provide a good
light sufficient for several rooms, and
would not require renewal during the
present century. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the energy stored up in one
gramme of radium is sufficient to
raise 500 tons weight mile high. An
ounce would, therefore, suffice to drive
a 50-horsepower motor car at the rate
Of 80 miles an hour round the world

EMINENT DOCTORS VIEWS.
German Investigator Does Not Be-
iieve Tuberculosis Can BE Com
tracted EpidemicalIy by Adults.

The Deutschen Medicinische Vochen-
schrift publishes a synopsis of lecture
which Prof. Won Behring, of Marburg,
delivered before the German natural
lists congress.
Prof Won Behring does not believe
that tuberculosis can be inherited or
contracted epidemically by an adult
He asserts, however, that decisive
factor in the spread of tuberculosis
is the nourishing of infants with milk
taken from cows suffering from that
disease.
The human infant, like the young
of all animals, lacks the digestive ap-
paratus and protective organs which
in the case of grown-up persons pre-
vents the germs from entering into the
tissue. AS a consequence he contends
that young children should be nour-
ished with milk free from the germs
of tuberculosis.
Prof. Won Behring's efforts are being
directed toward the substitution of san
itariums and a system of innoculation
for consumption hospitals He is firm
ly convinced that. like animals. human
beings can be rendered immune by
innoculation with tuberculosis toxin
obtained from cows. The professor.
however. distinctly says that his ex-
periments 90 obtain a perfect toxin are
not completed.

INTERESTING LOT OF MEN.


They are an interesting lot of men
the wreckers--as described by Mr.. lay
Allen Wiley ia his article ON Minute
Men OF the Rail, in Pearson's. Selected
from the veterans in the car shops,
they are "ali-round" mechanics; but
brains as well as fingers are needed,
and man has to be quick-Witted to
get into this gang In the fifteen or
twenty which make up the average
crew, you can generally find two or
three who are little men, for there are
tight places in a wreck where little
men can do considerable work in prop
ping up or loosening part, crawling
into holes which no one else could
reach. The boss wrecker tries to get
two or three "left-handers" also, as
their services are valuable in hammer
ing away IN corners where a right
handed man would be useless. Some of
the best wrecking crews in the country
include number OF sailors. The half
bitches and other knots that only the
seamen can make are of great service
in securely fastening lines to portions
OF the wreck and to the locomotive
used in pulling it away The "old
salts" are familiar with the assistance
that combination of pulleys will give,
for they have been taught ii on ship
board, while usually they are very
strong and wiry. Consequently a man
of this kind who is "out Of iot" can
frequently go with the Wreckipg crew.

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
II HyomeI Does Not Cure You of Ca
tarrh. Says Geo. w. StansfieId.

In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Geo. W. Stansfeld means
exactly what the guarantee says.
OF course the percentage of cures
by Hyomei is nearly one hundred or
else he could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case there
will be no questions or quibblings when
you go to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyomei
treatment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothss
and heals the irritated mucous lne1n-
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by med
icines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs but
