Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-02-24

A bill was introduced in the State
Legislature by DR.. T. q. Henry, yes
terday, providing for the manufacture
of antitoxine by the State and its free
distribution to the people under the
supervision of the State Board of
Health. This bill is direct blow at
the antitoxine trust which now con-
trolls the output and charges almost q
prohibitive price. Doctors admit that
the spread of diphthe1ia could be
greatly checked and almost entirely
prevented if tho antitoxine could be
used i'll the necessary quantities, but
at present, it is practically impossible
for man Of ordinary circumstances
to buy the desired quantity.
Assemblyman Henry, being a prac-
ticing physician, knows the value of
the drug and is also aware of its pres
ent almost prohibitive price. At
present single dose costs 81. The
trust which makes antitoxine recon-
mends that dose be administered to
the patient every eight hours. Other
members of family who have been
exposed to the disease should also be
treated, but with every dose costing
$4'a doctor cannot ask man of ordin-
ary circumstances to buy the number
of doses which they should really
have. In fact, should Ee recommend
it, the man would doubtless be unable
to make the purchase. AS result,
children and even grown people die
and the disease spreads. DIR. Henry
has been using antltoxine for eight
years past and fully realizes its value.
It is now almost universally used and
all doctors accept it as the only re-
liable cure for diphtheria. 1t is the
almost prohibitive price which has
kept it from entlrely stamping out the
disease. 1t is therefore evident that
any measure which Will place anti
toxine in large quantities within the
reach Of all, is measure which
benefits every home in the State and
makes it one of vast Importance.
The State of Massachusetts is the
only one known which now manufact-
ures antitoxine. 1t is said by the
authorities there that dose for which
the trust now charges 81 can be made
for twenty cents. Evidently the trust
are deliberately sucking the life blood
out of the people in the form of cold
dollars.
The process of making antitoxine is
simple. A sound, healthy horse is
taken, and, by injecting some of the
mucus from sick person, the horse
becomes ill with diphtheria. The
animal is treated and cured. Then it
is given heavier dose and is made
even more sick than before and is
cured. This process is continued
until no matter how much of the
disease is injected in its body it will
not be made sick. 1t is then immune,
and the doctors argue that there is
something in that horses blood which
prevents its taking diphtheria. There
fore they take this blood. and, after
taking the color out of 1T, use it on
human beings. 1t is this little dose
of colorless horse blood that the trust
is now selling for 81.

ARE HONEST employees.
How James DeBar Lost and Found
His Money
From Mondays nailv

The fact that the employees of the
North Western road are honest, as we'll
as the fact that James~De Bar, a popular
engineer who runs wess' from here on
the North Western road, was born under
a lucky star, placed the"same two TWEEN
ty dollar gold pieces in his possession
twice during the past week, says The
Winona Independent.
Mr.. De Bar, so the story goes, received
his salary a few days ago, and after pay
ing some small bills, had considerable
money left, including two twenty dollar
gold pieces. He VENT down into, the
North Western yards to take train out
after receiving his money.
He was flying along over the rails to-
ward Waseca, when he thought about his
two gold pieces. He ran his hand down
into his pocket, and the forty dollars
was gone. Mr.. De Bar said nothing and
waited until his return to Winona two
days afterward, when he alighted from
his engine in the yards and went to the
spot where his engine was standing when
he pulled the train out for the west:
There, lying in the snow, were the,
two twenty dollar gold pieces which he
had lost, undoubtedly when climbing into
his engine. They had remained in the
snow for two days awaiting the return
of their rightful owner.

VOTED FOR FREMONT.
Another Mankato Pioneer Who Sup
ported Pathfinder for President.

From Saturdays Daily.
The following communication has been
received by The Amboy Herald from Will
ian L. Wilson of Mankato, who was
one of the many early pioneers Of the
Republican party who cast their vote
for the first presidential nominee after
its organization, j. G. Fremont, in 1856.
He says:
''My residence then was the city Of
Hartford, Conn. There were many of the
enthusiastic supporters of the great
pathfinder there. notwithstanding
their earnest desire for his election to
the presidency we suffered defeat but
were not discouraged, and soon gained
the ascendency and became victorious.
Our cause was just; we laid the founda-
ton of the Republican party and a true
form of government. Our candidate
received la electoral votes out of 296
with two competitors. His popular vote
was over l,34O,OoO being over ll5,o0O
more in the sixteen free states than his
opponent who received the presidential
honors.
81 have voted for all of the Republi-
can presidents since the organization of
the Republican party and am in hopes of
voting for many more, among whom
may be Theodore Roosevelt. May his adj
ministration ever be of the high class of
craftsmanship which shall warrant sue
cess to American industries and be sat
isfactory to civilized nations with whom
we have commercial relations"

APPEALED IN TIME.
Suit Involving $4,000 Worth Of
Land in Murray County.

From Mondays Daily.
On Dec. 26, the very last day on which
such action could be taken, the law suit
of the Minnesota Loan and Investment
company of Worthington against Mary
A. Currie, Neal Currie her husband, Ma
bel A. Currie and Archie N. Currie, was
appealed by the first and the last nam
ed of the defendants to the state SUI
preme court. The suit was tried in the
early part of the year before Judge
Brown in Murray county and a decision
in favor of the plaintiffs was rendered
on June 26, last, just six months to a
day before the day on which the suit
was appealed. Jay Henry Long was
attorney for the plaintiffs, and John
Lind, well known in politics, was coun-
sci for the defendants.
The suit involved the title to tract
of land comprising part of the present
site of the village of Currie, in Murray
county. Neal Currie went bankrupt in
1898. He had borrowed $4,000 from
the Minnesota Land and Investment
company and his wife signed the notes.
At the time the notes were signed the
real estate in question was in his wife's
name. just before he went into bank
ruptcy he had his wife deed the property
over to their daughter who in turn
decided it to her brother. The Investment
company brought suit to recover on this
land the allegation being that the trans
fers were made by the Curries to de-
fraud the creditors of Neil Currie. The
case has been in litigation three years.
The Investment company won in the
lower court. The land in question is
worth about $4,000, about enough to
cover the amount of the judgment.
