lived here SO years. He served I'm the
Union army during the war. and since
then had attained great wealth in the

FLU0RESCIN

New York, Feb. l6--In the corrent
number OF the Medical Journal DR.. Rob

OF the Maphattan State hospital tells foe
the first time the result OF n series Of
experiments with nourescin. which may
forever do away with tha X ray in the
treatment Of internal diseases.

nal diseases. Its efficacy was demon
strated before body Of students at q
clinic i'm the College OF Physicians and
Surgeons week ago.
Fluorescin is non-toXic, absolutely
harmless, and is taken by the patient on
an empty stomach In glass OF water.
I'm which from 10 TO 20 grains OF sodium
bicarbonate, one dram OF glycerine and
one-eighth of a grain of hourescin are
"The patient is then conducted into

electric light introduced. The picture OBJ

by the method OF plain water. II shows

OF the tumors OF the liver and intestineS.
In addition. subjects with thick abdomi-
nal walls or much adipose tissue can be
thus satisfactorily examined-which was
often impossible heretofore"
The experiments OF DIR. Kemp have been
going on for a year or more, with the
object OF finding a substitute for the
N-ray I'm the illumination of the internal
organs OF the body. None OF the medical
profession outside of his immediate as
sistants, DIR. Traub and DIR. Graham
Rogers, and a few OF DIR. kemps most
intimate friends, were admitted into the
secret, and these, while they greatly as
sisted in the work OF experimenting, re-
Trained absolutely from any discussion OF
IL outside OF their little circle. The prac-
tical demonstration OF the new method or
internal illumination came as surprise
therefore to the young students OF the
clinic. who were loud in their praise or
the discovery.
Experiments were also made on dog
and a rabbit, which were treated subcu-
taneously with alkaline and alcoholic So
lutions of nourescin, two grains and one
grain respectively, and two patients un-
derwent the treatment Of internal applt-

Dowd, when first admitted, showed a
face almost wholly BLACK. save for two
small spots. very white, one on his fore

the dark brown-was his natural COM

as leuco derma, which much resembles

Dowd's body. as the Bellevue hospital
doctors discovered, is almost covered

A wife's devotion and persistency
have resulted in provisional liberty for
r. G. Evans, convicted and sentenced

Gently secured a parole and was sub

NORM KING PAROLE ED
Convicted Minneapolis Detect.
I've Is to Leave Prison

Nathaniel w. King, familiarly known
in Minneap polls police circles as Norm"
King, has been paroled from the Still
water penitentiary, where he has been
since Jan. g. 1908, on a sentence of
three years and six months, on convic-
ton Of being accessory to felony.
King will be released from the peni-
tertiary as soon as employment is
found for him at Minneapolis. This
will be in a few days, as number of
old friends interested in his behalf
have promised the state prison au-
t1lorities to provide employment for
the former city detective.
King was convicted of completely in
the theft of a diamond from a sleeping
car, and others involved were Cheer
full Charley" Howard and Billy How
ard, alleged confidence men. He had
served twenty -one months, or half his
sentence and was therefore eligible to
parole. BY subtracting his good time
allowance, the former detective would
have been discharged within year,
his sentence expiring Aug. 20, 1905:
Influential friends have labored hard
to secure the parole of the convicted
detective, and when he became eligible
to parole the board of control promptly
acted on his petition. The application
was unopposed before the meeting Of
the board, and King will within few
days be enjoying his liberty.
