RECORD SHORTAGE IN WOOL.
Offerings At LOndan September Sale tho
Smallest in Years.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON. Sept. 23-There ia a severe crisis
in the wool trade owing to shortage
Of the supply. The September auction
sales were commenced with only 1900
bales available. This is the result Of the
recent seven months drought in Australia,
the effects OF which are now making the
deepest impression on the London market.
Prices opened at a 10 per cent advance
with hardening tendency.
There is the keenest competition between
the American, French. German and Bel
gan manufacturers. The Americans are
taking all suitable woods at top prices and
the others are only too pleased to get what
remains. The present auction sale beats
the record for smallness, the catalogue OF
IS 900 bales being the smallest Offering
since wool has been cultivated to anything
like modern extent.
The market found a slight relief in a
few thousand bales which Boston firms
purchased for manufacture, but found
1t a more profitable venture to resell in
London. Most Of this, however, was again
bought for America.
As result of the shortage in the wool
supply. flannel and woolen stuffs have ad-
vanced in the retail price and will probably
go considerable higher.

they prescribe.
Now and then, however, a medicine
becomes SO popular that the people whom
il cures are so numerous and manifest
that the physicians do not hesitate to make
public endorsement Of it, and use it in their
practice.
Such has been the case with Peruna.
Recognized BY Physicians.
For many years the physicians opposed
it.
After while, occasionally one here
and there felt constrained to use it,.
There are still many physicians who are

DEcEIvINC THE NATIVES.
Pious Fraud Imposed Upon Brah-
Minis in Order to Win Them
to Vaccination.

Only few weeks ago it was an
nounced to the world that vaccination
was not a new thing, but that, on the
contrary, 1t had been known ages ago
to the natives of India. 1t was Lord
Amphill who made the claim for the
antiquity of cowpox incubation. His
lordship quoted as his authority pas
sage from book by Dhawantaria, the
greatest of the ancient physicians, in
which vaccination was clearly de-
scribed Now. however. 1t is said that
this passage was merely an interpola-
ton. The British Medical Journal tells
the following story of it:
According to Sir John Malcolm, a
vell-known Scotch surgeon, on the in
PRODUCTION Of vaccine incubation into
India the practice met with great op-
position from the natives. In order to
overcome their prejudices Mr.. Ellis, Of
Madras; who was well versed In Sanskrit
literature. composed a short poem on
vaccination In that language.
This poem was inscribed on old paper
and was said to have been just discov-
cred. The object OF the pious fraud was
that the impression Of vaccinations an
tiQuity might help to reconcile the
minds OF Brahmins to the use of a
prophylactic drawn from their sacred
COW.
