The speciality of Miss Lyle was the investigation, microscopieally and oth- erwise, of childrens diseases. She sought also cures for them. Soon she became so expert even as a student, that the fame of her researches spread to Europe. Then 1t was that the Vien- na professor invited this remarkable American girl to go to him and assist in expert medical laboratory work. Along with pr. Moser of the Vienna university Dr. Lyle experimented and worked. and finally the famous scarlet fever serum was elaborated. The dis covery of the serum was made by pr. Moser, but certainly Dr. Lyle assisted him.
 About that time two German investi- gators claimed also to have discovered scarlet fever serum. Such absolute faith did the Vienna physicians have in the young American woman doctor that they sent her to Berlin toinvestigate and if necessary combat the German claims. This she did successfully and triumphantly.
 At a medical congress in Paris Dr. Lyle appeared and explained the claims of Dr. Moser's serum and the processes by which he had obtained 1t. The beau tiful, learned young American won all by her arguments and the facts she set forth. At Madrid, again, Annie Lyle, in company with Dr. Escherich,, mar rated the story of Moser's serum and was believed because she knew what she was talking about. Finally at the St. Louis exposition medical congress last year pr. Lyle told the delegates about that scarlet fever serum which she herself had had due share in pro- ducing. Medical men assembled from all parts of the world could hardly believe the evidence of their eyes and ears that this doctor. so gifted and learned, was the handsome young lady before them. It has been predicted that Dr. Annie G. Lyle will ere long be | one Of the most famous women in the | world.
 There, too, is that other American woman physician. Dr. Mary Jackson of Hamilton, III. For years Dr. Jackson | has been quietly striving to find some means of destroying that plague of mankind. consumption. With the nat ural woman's sympathy which takes ir | all the world and with the knowledge of the brainy. educated woman, Dr Jackson studied and experimented. She | sought the secret of the Finsen rays
 she devised machines whereby to util-
 ize them. By means of the Finsen rays | applied through her machines, Dr | Jackson has wrought remarkable tu- berculosis cures. She is a handsome woman, with a serious. sensitive face Verify this is the day of woman!

time the microscopic creature that killed him.
 It is to be hoped the brave pair of scientists will find a remedy for the sleeping sickness
 To a young American medical woman has been accorded an honor bestowed on few men in this country. She is Dr. Annie G. Lyle of San Francisco, recent ly returned to America after nearly two years of research in the hospitals and medical laboratories of Europe. A few years ago pr. Lyle was studying medicine at Johns Hopkins university studying hard too She had nearly finished a six years, course when one day there came to her an invitation from Dr. Theodor Escherich of the University of Vienna to go there and assist in making medical researches which he considered as important as anything in the whole field of diseases and their remedies.
 Why out of thousands of brainy and accomplished young medical students on both sides of the water the profess sor selected Miss Lyle is a story that began several years before. Her father was wealthy man in San Francisco. He died and left a large fortune to his daughter. then scarcely more than an infant. The little girls mind was an
  She seemed to take learning by intui- tion. She cared nothing for the froth of things that absorb most girls, but went in for serious study from the be- ginning. When very young she was graduated from Leland Stanford uni versity and in scholarship was one of the most brilliant students ever in att tendance there.
 Miss Lyle said she was going to be a physician and devote herself as a spe- cialist to the diseases of children. She entered Johns Hopkins University Med ical school She took with her a chap eron, a chef and a French maid and set up housekeeping in a luxurious apart ment Her horses and carriage during her student years were among the handsomest in Baltimore. All the sane she was at Johns Hopkins what she had been at Leland Stanford-one of the most brilliant students that ever crossed its threshold. Her memory seemed infallible and a professor in the medical department said that of all the women he had known Miss Lyle was the ablest,

Original Medical
 Research by Women

The sleeping disease of the Kongo has gradually spread across southern Africa from coast to coast It is a strange disease, that sleeping sickness among south and mid African negroes. At first a native seems merely drowsy.
 He Is lazy" says the white person unacquainted with the trouble
 Most Africans are thought to be lazy by the whites. But the negro becomes dull and listless. He just sleeps and sleeps until he can hardly be awakened even to take his food. He wastes away to .a shadow, himself knowing well that even as his family and tribe have slept themselves to death so will he in like manner ere long slumber to wake no more on earth. He Is frightened. He struggles against the horrible fate. but struggles in vain. There is no es- cape In eight months he, too. has slept himself to death.
 Careful experimenting by British sci entists has ascertained that the sleep ing sickness is due to the presence in the blood of a microbe called trypano- soma. Colonel David Bruce of the medical corps of the British army was for a while stationed in Zululand His wife went with him. and both were interested in medical microscopic re- search The fatal tsetse fly that kills all horses along the AdHlpeZl ndu peei carefully studied by Colonel Bruce. He discovered it was not the fly bite itself which was poisonous, but that when the tsetse bit an animal it de- posted a microbe from it's blood suck ing beak, and this microbe, multiplying by the million in the creatures blood. soon caused death.
 That discovery, in arriving at which Mrs Bruce aided her husband, was an important advance in tsetse lore. At length the fly began to be harmful to human beings. hitherto considered i'm mune Next the deadly sleeping sick ness spread into the British protecto- rate. Colonel and Mrs. Bruce went to the place where 1t was most prevalent and d%commenced microscopic investiga- tions. They fourd in the blood of the natives affected with the sleeping sick ness a microbe similar to that which W asdeposited by the tsetse fly. This microbe, then. was also inserted by a fly. Looking further. Colonel and Mrs Bruce actually found that the dying ne- groes had been bitten by a fly. They examined hundreds of specimens of this insect and found 1t nearly like the tsetse fly of the Kongo. It bit the ne- ETC and put into his blood at the same

A Good Deal of Nonsense.
lbout "Blood Purifiers" and "ronic...


 Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be re- newed in but one way, and that is, from wholesome food properly digested. There is no other way and the idea that a medicine in itself can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion is germ disease, or that other fallacy, that a weak stom- acn which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and inflaming the bowels by pills and ca thartics.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cures in digestion. sour stomach. gas and bloat- ing after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack and. unless the defi- ciency of pepsin and diatase Is sup piled. 1t Is useless to attempt to euro stomach trouble by the use of "tonics," pills" and "cathartics" which have absolutely no digestive power. and their only effect is to give a tempor- ary stimulation.
 One grain of tho active principle in Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar fods and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bot tie at proper temperature. but of course are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so uni- versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because 1t is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimilation of food,
 People who enjoy fair health take Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets as regu- larly as they take their meals, because they want to keep we'll. prevention is better than cure, and Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets do both: they prevent in- digestion and they remove 1t where 1t exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument
