March 25, 1904.
To the church women of Billings:
1t is so hard for people to believe
that Bright's Disease and Diabetes are
now durable that l am asked to permit
reference to my own case. shrink
from it but there are too many dying
to remain silent. To be brief / had
both Bright's Disease and Diabetes for
over five years. Usual Dropsy, nails
came of, and the case was so hopeless
that the physicians told us there was
no need to diet and to give me any
thing l craved. l heard that people
were being cured in this city and pro-
cured the treatment. In a few months
the nails came back, dropsy disap-
peared and in a year I was well. To
show how well, will say that several
years after my recovery I stood a
capital operation at the Waldeck SAM
tarium in the presence of six physi-
clans. Many friends, including DR..
Markell of Cioyerdale and Judge E. B.
Cutler of Pine street, are fully cogni-
zant of my recovery from Bright's
Disease and Diabetes. In fact Judge
Cutler is himself now recovering from
Diabetes under the same treatment.
Let the cure be proclaimed to the
world.

FARMERS OF THE SOUTH.

Improved Methods of Cultivation Arc
Rewarding the Husbandman.
The truth begins to dawn upon the
minds Of the agricultural writer's Of
the North that the Southern farmer is
not such a thriftless fellow as he has
heretofore been represented to be,
says the Southern Farm magazine.
The tendency TO an improved agrl-
culture among Southern farmers is be-
coming very marked within recent
years. The fact Is admitted that a
greater yield of crops with less labor
is the proper direction in which to
work. Less land is being abandoned
and more manure employed. I'm.
proved agricultural implements are be.
ing introduced everywhere. On many
farms where fifteen or twenty hands
were formerly employed the force has
been reduced to five or six. and this,
too, without reducing the profits of the
farm.
Indeed, this change has, with prop
er fertilization, increased the profits
and bettered the condition of the soil.
The soils which were formerly under
slave labor put In cultivation every
year are now rotated, rested covered
and made to do duty once in two or
three years instead OF every year. 1t
is not to be disguised, however that
all over the South are many quilted
fields that will require years Of pa
tient labor to restore to their original
productveness, but every effort is
pointing in the right direction. Less
land In cultivation and greater yield
less labor and more labor saving ma
chimes employed, less clearing forests
and more manurial applications, less
attention TO large crops and more to
the profits of the farm, better stock
and better attention to them-thesc
are the channels into which the best
agricultural thought Of the South ls
drifting, and a continuance in this di
rection will work marvels of success
| Nnd prosperity.

ity. For three years he has been car
rying on experiments and during that
time has cured large numbers of peo-
pie. His first case was received in
October, 1901, and cure was effected
in the following December From
four to eight months, according to the
nature of the disease, is necessary to
effect cure. The use of alcoholic
drink during the period Is entirely pro-
hibited. According to Dr. Canu, there
are four classes of tuberculosis and in
all these classes the electric treatment
has been successful. His patients
have come from every grade of socie-
ty, many of them being furnished by
the hospitals and by insurance compa-
MES. None of them is put on a rigid
diet, although the subject of food is
taken into consideration. Good, sub
stantial, blood-producing foods are adj
yised. DR.. Canu is satisfied that can
Ger can be treated in the same way
and he offers all the knowledge he
possesses to any one who wishes to
take up the treatment of this disease
by his system of electricity.

There Are Now Nearly $1,000 Miles
of Line There.

There Are Now Nearly $1,000 Miles
of Line There.
There are now nearly 1900 miles
of railway lines In India, and before
the close of 1905 the total will pass the
10000 mark, says the Montreal Family
Herald. The increase has been quite
rapid during the last Ave years, owing
to the experience of the last famine,
when 1t was demonstrated that facili-
ties for the rapid transportation of
food supplies from one part of the
country to another were an absolute
necessity. 1t Is usually the case that
when the inhabitants of one province
are dying of starvation those of an
other are blessed with abundant crops,
inc is the means of distributing the
food supply where 1t is needed
Before the great mutiny of 1857
there were few railroads in India and
the lesson taught by that experience
was of incalculable value. If re-ep-
rail to the beleaguered garrisons, in.
stead of making the long marches, the
massacres might have been prevented
and thousands of precious lives might
have been saved.
In 1880 the railway system amount
ed to less than 10000 miles. In 1896 it
had been doubled; in 1901 1t had pass
ed the $4,000 mile mark, and now the
existing lines are being extended and
branches and feeders are being built
for military as well as famine emer-
gencies. All the principal districts and
cities are connected by rail. All of the
important strategical points and mill
tary cantonments can be reached
promptly, as necessity requires, and in
case of a rebellion troops could be
poured into any particular point from
the farthermost limits of India within
seventy or eighty hours.
India Is very big country and it re-
Qulres a great many miles of rails to
furnish even necessary transportation
facilities. The time between Bombay
and Calcutta is forty hours by a fast
train. From Madras, the most impOr-
tant city of Southern India, to Delhi,
the most important in the north, sixty
two hours Of travel are required. From
Peshawur, the extreme frontier post
in the north, which commands the Ky
Der pass, leading into Afghanistan, to
TuticOrin, the southern terminus of
the system, 1t Is 3.400 miles by the reg
ular railway route, via Calcutta, and
four days and nights will be necessary
to make the journey under ordinary
circumstances. Troops could be hur-
rled through more rapidly
