kumyss feeding. IL is a rood that gives
strength and health to all the tissues Of
the body, and by that means helps to
ward off the encroachment OF congump-
ton.
Levashoff, Russian physician, places
this therapeutic measure of kumyss feed
ing at the head of all the public meas
ures which should be adopted in the
struggle against tuberculosis In Russia.
In the spring and early summer there
are multitudes Of consumptives who
make an annual pilgrimage eastward
and southwark by railroad and down the
Volga by steamer TO the provinces Of
Ufa, Samara, Saratoff and Orenburg, to
drink the kumyss made in these prov
inces
Leyaskoff shows by statistics that over
30 per cent. Of consumptiyes in the first
and second stages recover completely
on simply kumyss treatment, and over
81 per cent. are considerably improved.
Add to the kumyss treatment outdoor
life, moderate exercise, and some light
occupation that interests and busies the
mind, and you have the ideal treatment
for tuberculosis, and in fact. the only
treatment that will eradicate this dis
ease from the system

just what is going on IN Palmero to-day,
with variations. Silver is brought In
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, or thereabout,
shipped to Paris, taken to Palmero, and
minted with reasonable privacy. The
dollars are jumbled with stones to nick
them and laid in greasy clay, then come
