Frances Baker, Professional Diver.

Captain H. W. Baker Of Detroit is
the owner and commander Of wreck
ing ship which carries machinery that
enables divers TO descend 10 the bot
tom Of body OF water and locate and
bring up sunken treasure. Captain
Baker has daughter, Miss Frances,
who took to her fathers occupation as
naturally as duck swims.
Her first deep dive is said to have
been after a diamond ring that lay in a
box upon little table in the cabin of
a sunken wooden barge in Lake HUI
ron. She got the ring and the owner
Of 1t was SO pleased that he gave it to
her at once. But Miss Frances has
done things much more important than
fishing up a ring from the deep. She
located sunken copper laden ship off
Point Burwell, Lake Erie, and received
check of 5000 as her share Of the
$4,000 treasure that was recovered
through her sagacity and intelligence.

For hundreds of years Chinese men
have been intermarrying with native

diant Energy as Therapeutic Agents He did not claim that the agents ne represented on this occasion would cure all the ills to which man is heir, but they work best where drugs are una voidable.
 Dr. Camp, in illustrating the infiu- ence of electricity on the body, com pared the nervous ssytefn to telepa- thetic system. But the nervous tissue is not alone susceptible to radioactive ity, all forms of tissue in the body be- ing so.
 1t was told how the various chemic changes take place in the body by the use of electricity eliminating much of the waste products. The various kinds of electric current. such as electrostatic, hypostatic, continuous or galvanic cur rent. The latter are perhaps the most useful forms for medicinal purposss. The actions of the galvanic current were treated in detail. telling of the actions of the ions which have an im- portant bearing on eliminating abnor- mai conditions from the system.
 A further technical discussion fol- lowed by Dr. Camp of electrolysis, the latter phenomenon causing chemical action in the tissue.
 The agent, central galvanization. came in for a special discussion by Dr.
 
 and the electrode is applied to the head. The sedative effect of the gall vanic current was told of by Dr. Camp, The electrodes have different sizes in the case of the electrostatic current, according to the needs of individual patients. The difference was shown between the spark current and the wave current. One of the uses of this agent Is the relief of local digestion. QQiA fha cess of the electric agents depends on a thorough knowledge of therapeutic effects.
 pr. Rails of Gadsden participated in the discussion, telling of the electro- lysis treatment of fistuia in his city. Various experiences in treating tumors were reviewed. Dr. Camp concluded pr. Lewis C. woodson of BIrming- ham followed with his paper on "Iritis."
 An Important Disease. He told of the importance of the, dis ease, giving his opinion that no af- lection of the eye is so likely to re- suit in total blindness with an error in treatment.
 The detailed symptoms of iritis were given. the color. mobility and other appearances of the eye. The infiam- matory changes are marked by the oc- ulist by subjecting the eye to an in- tense light. Comparisons should be made with the sound eye. The sub- jective and objective phenomena were | told of.
 Dr. Woodson estimated that syphilis | is the cause of 60 per cent. of the cases of iritis in the world, rheumatism is | the cause of 25 per cent, and gout and other diseases probably account for the remainder of the cases.

Association Had Three
 Busy Sessions. FAMOUS VISITORS SPEAK Dr. Abbe and pr. MataS on
 the Platform. Great Crowd Heard Discussien of Tu- bercuIosis in Afternoon and Ad- dresses of Orator and Mon- itor at Night.

The second days transactions or the Alabama State Medical Association held yesterday and last night in the Hall of Representatives and the Montgomery Theatre respectively formed one of the most repIete series formed one of the in the history of the organization.
 With the attendance swelled since Tuesday to fully 300 visitors the mem bers and delegates sat listening with apparent interest to the papers and discussions for four hours at both the morning and afternoon sessions and two hours last evening to receive the address of Dr. William G. Sommer- vile, of Tuscaloosa. monitor Of the Association, and the annual oration or Dr, Scale Harris, of Union Springs.
 Besides the exercises of last night at the theatre which were of cele- brative order, nine papers were deliv- cred of unusual interest yesterday. all being of technical class except those which were read at the afternoon ses- sion in the symposium on tuberculosis The collection of papers on tuberculosis ana the discussions incident thereto,

next mightiest to the pen" The pub lie which ten years ago decried the knife Is now clamoring for 1t. The young men from the laboratories are the surgeons of the future. Dr. Abba said there is a number of provincial hospitals among our S0,000,000 of peo- pie, scattered according to the law of supply and demand. The incompetent surgeon is no longer destined to fake the public.
 The typical surgeon should be, a man of strong character in order to resist the commercial temptations of our age.
 Dr. Abbe told of the recent discov- cries that have robbed surgery of many of its terrors.
 The surgical treatment of tubercular diseases with saline irrigation and other methods was told of by the lec- Gurer.
 Dr.. Abbe told of the sudden deaths occurring when patients are conva- lescent after operation for appendici- tis. He recalled with regret many deaths which in the retrospect show with chart exhibits of the abdomen There were illustrations also of peri tonitls symptoms.
 In the numerous drawings of intes- tines shown by Dr. Abbe he said death would most surely have resulted had not the operations been performed. The operations resulted in prompt and complete recovery.
 Septicaemia and cancer were regard cd by Dr. Abbe great problem for the surgeon. The former Is caused from infection and is usually attrib- uted to contact of wounds with un- sterilized objects. His methods of treating these two diseases were given in detail.
 The preponderance of opinion in the surgical world is that there is no can cer originating from parasites Ex- tension researches are now proceeding to determine this point. but the con- elusions so far are inclined to the non- parasitic theory.
 Radium has been used in a degree flor two years by Dr. Abbe for the ef- fective cure of few malignant growths. He spoke of the all pene- trating power of this element, the in- tensity of the rays, etc.
 The use of the X-ray methods on the cure of malignant growths was illus trated by plaster of Paris reproductions of the infected portions of the body of a patient under the care of Dr. Abbe.
 Samples of Radiunl.
 Dr. Abbe in illustrating the power of radlum handed among the physicians present samples of the element hermet- ically sealed. He had on exhibition two and a quarter grains of French radium salts and one-sixteenth of a grain of German radium. He said

were Ell P. SmithS of The Birmingham News, the only layman who has held the floor of the Association during this meeting; Dr. Charles L. Minor of Ash vile, N. C., representing the National Association for the Study and Preven- tion of Tuberculosis recently organized in Atlantic City, and Dr. Edgar A. Jones. an expert practitioner of Raton. N. M.
 The special order with which the symposium was charged by those in charge of the program brought out an audience which packed both the lower floor and the gallery. The public had been invited to attend these discuss sions as they pertained to a disease which for its further spread depends almost as much upon public appreci- ation of It's dangers as that of the phy- sicians One of the general conclu- sions reached was that too many cases of tuberculosis treated in the past and at present were diagnosed in the later stages.
 There was a concensus of nearly every discussion towards the central idea of getting legislative aid by laws and appropriations in preventing the spread of the disease and caring for the thousands of poor that cannot properly care for themselves. Along
 
 Association, after the symposium had ended, upon motion instructed the Board of Censors to prepare an express sion of the body on an appeal for leg tsIative intervention for battling with the White Plague. The resolution will be presented today most likely.
 Address of Monitor.
 The address of Dr. Somerville at the theatre embraced many practical sd- monitions to the physicians last even- ing. He gave extensive interoreta- tions of the ethics of the profession based on the code of the profession as dictated by the national association. Strict observance of the golden rule was advised, remembering that. What ever we find dear to us and good to us, should be found to be good and dear to others" The conscience of the in- dividuals is the determining factor through the long chain of ethics. Detailed injunctions were given by

pregnant future for this curative agent in the new world of medical science, basing his remarks on the decisive re- suits procured by himself In eases of tumor and malignant growth.
 pr. Matas, of broad reputation In the United States as a surgeon, fasei- mated the large audience of physicians and laymen, including scores of ladies, at the afternoon session, with his lec- ture on '"The Surgery of the Vascular System. ," The achievements in this line of surgery, involving the great possibilities of 1igature, belong yet principally to the domain of research although glorious predictions were made for 1t in practice by Dr. Masas.
 In the course of his lecture, pr. Matas took occasion to laud the Med icaI Association of Alabama as the greatest in the Union. He euiogized the four or five hundred members of the profession in Alabama who are graduates of Tulane University. He paid profuse tribute to the memory of Jerome Cochran, with whom the speaker was intimately associated in many public deliberations of medical bodies and added that of the grand to- tai sent out into the world by Tulane University claiming Alabama as their soil he knew not one who has re- fiected discredit ons the name of that Ga nous institution.

 Two Great Lectures.
 Lectures or uncommon luteTest anu enlightenment were delivered at the morning and afternoon sessions yes- terday by Dr. Robert Abbe of New York, and Dr. Rudolph Matas Of Tu- lane University New Orleans. respec- lively. The lecture of the former will be recorded in the proceedings of the Association as the annual tribute to the memory of that distinguished Ala bama physician, Jerome Cochran, who died few years ago. Efforts are now in active progress in the ranks Of the profession to raise fund for the erec- tion ae a fitting monument to the mem ory of this great philanthropist in the city of Montgomery.
 The lecture of Dr. Abbe is regarded as one of the most masterful scientific efforts of its character 1t has been the pleasure of old members of the Asso- citation to hear It covered with un- erring technique and luminous diction the subject assigned to him, The Problem of Surgery" The eminent surgeon put upon this department of medical science an exalted estimate and declared that the public which a few years ago vigorously decried the knife, Is now clamoring for its fire. quent use.
