CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
INJECTION OF "MErALLIc FER
MENTs" WORKS WONDERS.
French Physician Gives Result Of
Tests = Solution Used Hypoder-
mically Said to Hasten Crisis
of the Disease.

Paris.-A sensational communication
was MADE to the Aca0emie de Medicine
by Albert Robin, who reported his dis
covery of the fact that certain metals
such as gold and silver finely subdivided
and employed in infinitesimal doses ex-
ercise considerable effect on the vital
phenomena.
Reduction of the metals to the desired
state is obtained by their electrical dis
solution in water. The metal so treated
acquires the property of developing a
force similar TO that of ferment. This
popularity of the phenomenon led DR..
Robin to use the term metallic fer
ments" In reporting his discovery.
His metallic ferments employed In
cases of pneumonia in hypodermic in
iections of the solution containing gold.
silver, platinum, etc, produced q
brusque deferveseence of the malady in
six cases out of ten. Before the sew
enth day IL cures were obtained In IA
cases thus treated. There is complete
similarity between the natural or favor
able crisis in pneumonia and that pro-
duced by metallic ferments. These fer
ments. therefore. are capable of produc-
ing. aiding or fastening this natural or
favorable crisis. After one or two in
jections the temperature falls suddenly.
The definite manner employed by
these metallic ferments does not con-
stitute a complete treatment of pneu-
monia. Complications and the pre-
dominance Of certain symptoms neces-
state accessory therapeutics, but great
progress would appear to be made by
their use in the treatment of this fire.

STOMACH is ELECTRICAL.
Experiment Conducted on Healthy
Organ In California Shows Diges-
ton Is Electro Chemical.

San Francisco.-In an experiment
conducted by Albert J. Atkins, of the
California medical college, on the liv-
ing stomach of healthy man it has
been demonstrated that the organ is
electrical In Its action. The experiment
consisted Of the introduction of spe-
cially prepared electrode in the stom-
ach by having the man swallow it.
When the electrodes were brought into
contact with about an inch square of the
wall of the organ the galvanometer reg
istered nearly ten milli-yolts of direct
electrical current It is asserted that
this action proved that the whole proc
ess OF digestion is an electro-c chemical
one and that the current in the walls
Of the stomach prevents the digestion
of the stomach by Its own juices.

THE FIRST INDIAN WRITER
sequoyah Who Invented an Alpha
bet for His People, an Amer
lean Genius.

John Eliot, Of Rhode Island, pub
ished the arst Indian Bible. Indians
had no printed language with letters
before the white man came, rude carv-
ings and picture writing being suffi-
cient, says the Philadelphia Press.
Sequoyah, a Georgian Indian, half
breed, invented perfect alphabet OF
over so letters for the native Cherokee
language. BY his own zeal inspired his
nation with love of written words.
Sequoyah hated the white people. The
reason was because his white father had
basely deserted his mother when Sc
quoyah was baby. His mothers father
was a proud chief, and there is no doubt
that his grandson inherited his proud
spirit.
| Sequoyah never learned to read or
write satter of English. His anger
was greatly aroused when he saw any
one of his tribe reading book made by
the whites. SeQuoyah declared he
would make book for his own people.
He listened for sounds while his peo-
pie talked He became silent student,
and lost all his old war-like spirit. He
sat by his doorway and made marks on
birch bark with ink made from the
juices of berries. The people looked on
him with wonder and great pity, be-
cause he would no longer fight or hunt,
lor engage in any kind of sports.
| At last Seqouyah called a council. He
wrote on the bark and gave the writing
to his little daughter, who had been
taught secretly to read by the new al
phabet. She read It, and did as the writ
ing commanded The test was tried
many times and caused great excite
ment. The young men forgot hunting
and war for letter writing. while the
missionaries adopted the letters and
made a bible for their students. The
Cherokees became civilized in short
time. The first printing press sent to
an Indian tribe was sent in 1920 by the
United States government to the Chero-
lees. The type was cast in Cherokee
characters, the same that SeQouyah had
! invented.
A marble bust of this remarkable In
dian adorns the council house in Table
ouah. capital of Indian territory, where
the Cherokees were sent after gold was
found on their reservation in Georgia.
| ihe Indians knew the value of these
mines. but the white mans power was
stronger than theirs. The Cherokees
had to leave their homes and wealth for
strange new lands.
Sequoia. the botanical name of the
big trees of California. is the only me-
mortal the white man has given to Sc
quoyah, this truly American genius.

With only eight days Of practice remaining
the hopes Of Stagg and the maroon enthusiasts
were badly shattered by the reported injury to
one of De Trays eyes. DR.. Raycroft, who is
attending De Tray, has restored confidence to
the midway followers however, by the state
ment that De Trays sight probably will be re-
stored soon and that the great halfback will
undoubtedly be In the game against Michigan.
Coach Stagg continues his signal practice tac-
tics and drill in returning punts, blocking inter-
ference for the runner and tackling.
A Whirlwind offense, that will sweep
Michigan off its feet, is the prime object of
Stages attention now. Yesterday he drove the
varsity up and down the field in the fastest
and snappiest practice Of the season. Notwith.
