DISCOVERY
SAVES LIFE
Special Dispatch to The CALL.

NEW YORK, June S.-Believing he
has discovered a method for the cure
of Bright's disease. Professor Winfield
Ayres made report TO the convention
of the American Medical Association
in Atlantic City to-day which startled
his hearers by its Importance.
Professor Ayres, who is associate
professor of urology at the Post Grad
uate Hospital in this city, said he had
made experiments which led him TO
the belief that Bright's disease was
durable in its earlier stages and that 1t
was possible that further investigation
and experiments would end in a prac-
tically complete victory over 1t.
He based his conclusions on ninety
three cases. forty-three. of which he
tabulated, with nine complete cures.
Twenty-Five cases showed marked i'm
provement and only one failed to re-
spond to treatment.
Heretofore all treatments have been
by the use of medicine taken by the
mouth and 1t has been found impossi
BILE to send through the blood drugs
strong enough to kill the germs.
Through the use of an instrument he
injects medicines directly into the kid
neys. in strength that would be poison
Gus and cause certain death II taken
into the stomach. He has found his
patients safe from harm and also that
action is immediate and permanent.
DR.. Ayres asserted that a remarkable
feature was the ease with which
treatment may be administered. and
without pain or after discomfort to the
patient The scourge Of Bright's dis
ease. he says, can be reduced, If not
eradicated.

tage in the surrounding hills. The
deputies returned the fire to the best
advantage possible and prouiscuous
shooting was engaged in for a period
of ten minutes.
ORDERS A "ROUND-UP."
From the character of the shoot
ing from the hills General Bell i'm
mediately recognized the fact that the
strength of the miners had been great
ly overestimated and that he had suf-
ficient force under his command to
make an immediate roundup and
capture the entire opposing force.
Accordingly he divided the deputies
and soldiers into seven detachments
and these detachments set out to make
complete cleanup of all the sur
rounding hills.
