mary systems in the South have Ger
tainly not raised the standards of Office
| holders aud assert that the men chosen
by legislatures or by State bosses are
of much higher type intellectually
than those chosen by the people.
The results of primaries are said to
be frequently disappointing, men OF
no weight but possessing an abund-
ance OF mouth capturing the popular
fancy and obtaining office over heav-
ler and brainler men.
Yet the legislatures of the North
west are moving for more direct elec
tions. 1t is declared that if they
would contrast the selections of the
primary system with those of the old
caucus-conventi0n system, they would
see an extraordinary difference.
Popular primaries, it is held, lead
to an exaggerated valuation of orator
ical ability. The public as rule
picks out man who talks well, re
gardless of his business experience or
ability. AS talker be comes in closer
contact with them than otherwise, and
so they measure him.
The only good thing some of the
primary critics admit is that this sys
tenn makes it hard to buy legislature,

MAY CURE Pneumonia
WITH GOLD AND SILVER
French Physician Reports Sensational
Discovery to Academy.

| S'SSSvc'I " HNouCWys
The New York Herald publishes the
following from Paris:
A sensational communication was
made to the Academic de Medicine
by DR.. Albert Robin, who report
ed his discovery of the fact that GER
tain metals, such as gold and silver,
very finely subdivided and employed
in infinitesimaI doses, exercise a con
siderable effect on the vital phenom-
ena.
Reduction of the metals to the de-
sired state is obtained by the electrical
dissolution in water. The metal so
treated acquires the property of de-
vtloping force similar to that of
fern ent. This popularity of the phe-
nomenon has led DR.. Robin to use the
term "metalic ferments" in reporting
his discovery.
His metallic ferments are employed
in cases of pneumonia in hypodermic
injections of from five to ten cubic Gen.
timeares of solution, containing from
nine-hundreds to two-tenths of milli-
gramme of gold, silver, platinum, &c,
produced brusque defervescence of
the malady in six cases out of ten be-
fore the seventh day.
Thirteen cures were obtained in
fourteen cases thus treated.
There is complete similarity be-
tween the natural favorable crisis in
and that produced by me-
talic ferments. These ferments, there
fore. are capable of producing, aiding
or Fastening this natural favorable
crisis.
After one to two injections the tenn
perature falls suddenly, almost always
in definite manner. The employment |
of these metallic ferments does not con-
stitute the complete treatment of pneu- |
monia, for complications and the pre-
of certain symptoms neces
state accessory therapeutics, but great |
progress would appear to be made by |
their use in the treatment of this fire. |
