Public educators. ministers OF the gospel
and many charitable men and women
who arc Interested in the treatment Of
those afflicted with deep-seated maiadieat
have appealed to DR.. Krum, asking him
If he cannot on certain days. or in cere
tain hours make a special rate for those
who cannot afford TO pay his regular Zee.
Many Of those people have presented
certain cases to DR.. Krum-canes Of ca
tarrh, Of peculiar diseases-and he has
been asked as a matter Of duty to treat
and cure these people who are unable to
pay the regular fees. Some Of these cases
have greatly interested Or. Krum and
his desire has been to grant them, but
1t was impossible for him TO do so.
DR.. Krum cannot set aside certain
special hours Of the day, because for more
than "a year. It has been distinguishing
feature Of this practice that the physi-
clans Of the Krum institute were access
: iblo 10 the people Of Wilmington at any
hour Of the day. and they cannot, there
fore, make any special hour, and main
tain the character OF their practice.
/ But there was a still moro important
reason that stood in the way of granting
this request. DR.. Krum cannot make
special rates for certain diseases. While
the new treatment has caused a wide
spread interest, has attracted the atten-
tion OF physicians and OF all classes OF
people, as, has been presented prominently
in these columns Il is to be borne in mind
that only a small proportion OF the Krum
practice Is in the treatment OF catarrh-
Tho essential feature Of the Krum sys-
tenn Is that it covers all diseases; no sick
persons are turned away; no persons-no
matter what the trouble may be-are de-
MED the best skill and the best attention
that the Krum practice can give and It
has never been contemplated during tho
history OF the practice 10 treat one person
at a lower rate than another, or to fix
any special charge upon any one disease.
Rates have been. so far as possible, uni
/ form, and for this reason Il must readily
appear that Dr. Krum could not make a
special rate for any one condition.
Il II has always been the principal Of Or.
grum 70 treat all of his patients impair
TALLY and ho does not feel that he would
be Justified IN making any exception to
his rule. II would be impossible, as is ex-
plained above, 10 make a special rate for
certain hours, and certain days but DR..
Krum IS willing TO do what he believes
VIII accomplish the same purpose, and
do Il IN a way which viii be OF far great
er public benefit because all VIII be en-
ahled to take advantage Of IT,
Dr. Krum has always maintained and IL
has been his desire that every advance
ment In the science OF medicine should be
as widespread as possible IN It's applca,-
tion lie desires that no person shall be
deprived Of the benefit OF the new treat
ment, and he wishes 20 enter into most
hearty cooperation with those who have
appealed to him, and in order TO do so hs

AUSTRALIA TO EXHIBIT.
Great Southern Country Will Make
Comprehensive Exhibit of Strange
Products at Lewis and Clark Cen
teunial.

Portland, Feb. 10.-Australia, the
land of gold and the kangaroo, whose
marvellous resources have been little
exploited at the worlds fairs, will
have at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
tion the first exhibit which will do
justice to the country. The exhibit,
which will cost $4,000, will occupy
1000 feet of floor space and will be
comprehensive and interesting.
A feature of the Australian exhibit
will be a display of leather from the
carcasses of the gugong. The gu
gong is a fish which lives in Aus
tralian waters, whose hide is three
inches thick. The hide is valuable
for saddlery and other heavy leather
goods. The display will also show
the commercial value of the platy-
pus, or duckbill, an animal with the
body of a mole, and the webbed feet
and bill of a duck.
The exhibit from the southern con-
tinent will explain in an entertaining
manner the present conditions in this
little known country, where the skin
of the kangaroo is a valuable export
Specimens of grains will be exhibited
to show the agricultural possibilities
of the country, and the displays of
wool and other sheep products will
interest Yankee stOckraisers. There
will also be shown many products pc
culiar to the country, which are not
known in America even by name.
