The narcotic and sudorific properties

ly enough, the writer Of the article
"Nux Vomica'' in Chambers Cyclic

drug certainly finds a place among
native medicines, can find no ref

that it is at all used by native prac-

Some of the symptoms of hydrophbia
bear certain resemblance of those OF
poisoning by strychnine, and ii would
therefore almost appear as though the
principle of similia similibus curantur
has been applied by the Chinese in this
case. There is no doubt that in re-
gard to other remedies they have
firm belief in this doctrine.

Marked the Golden Centenary Meet
ing in London.
London. June 4.-The Golden centen-
airy meeting at Alexandra Palace this
evening, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man presiding, took the form of a tre-
mendous free trade demonstration.
Some seventy political associations of
London co-operated in the meeting,
and the attendance was estimated at
$4,000. Among those on the platform
were three daughters and two grand
children of Richard Golden.
Sir Henry devoted his speech to a
eulogy of Cobden's political achieve
ments and the beneficial effect of free
trade as against the present tariff re-
form movement. He said the real
tariff reformers were those who abol-
ished tariffs and asserted that the
strength of the country did not lie in
the equipment of fleets and armies. but
upon peace equipment and the develop
ment of arts, industries and resources.
Winston Churchill. NJ. P, introduced
resolutions pledging adherence of those
present to principles of free trade,
peace, retrenchment and reform, which
were adopted enthusiastically.

BY SOUTHERN MILLS
Those of Maine Are Forced to Re-
gard the situation as Serious.

VI are u Ett-
gard the situation as Serious.
Boston, June 4.-The Boston Tran
script, which has been investigating
the textile conditions in Maine, says
tonight:
Throughout the state of Maine man.
ufacturers seem to think that the pres
ent situation is a very serious one, not
alone because the higher price of cot
ton and the dull markets force curtail-
ment, but because there are Southern
mills that are able to keep in full opera
ton under the present adverse condi-
tions and undersell New England mills
in the New York markets, when sales
can be made.
The Lewiston mill authorities state
that the mills, as a rule, have cot
ton enough on hand to carry them al
most through the season, until Sep
TENDER, at least; but unless there is
a radical change in manufacturing con-
ditions and market conditions in June
and July it is very probable that cur
tailment will be general in Lewiston
until some time in August.

He has made chronic catarrh a life
