TREATING The WHITE PLAGUE
New Method 10 Destroy Germs An
nouRced ny = Distinguished
Surgeon.

Sir Almeroth E. Wright. the famous pa
biologist in charge Of st. Mary's hospital,
London. and the discoverer of the "opsonic
index" was a visitor in Philadelphia re-
Gently, and In the evening lectured at the
College of Physicians before more than 100
Of the most prominent physicians and sur
geons of the city.
The English physician was the guest of
DR.. Lawrence Flick. and the two have much
in common, for DE- Flick has devoted his
nfe to treating tuberculosis. and Sir Al
meroth claims to have discovered a method
by which not only tuberculosis. but all
germ diseases. can be cured by kind Of
vaccination.
DR. George W. Ross, who has been as
ISOLATED with Sir Almeroth in his work OF
experiment accompanied the party in the
visits they made during the day to several
hospitals and the careful inspection they
made OF Phipps institute.
The lecture delivered by the Englishman
was upon the subject OF his discovery
THE Opsonio Index" and. while exceed
ingly technical, 1t aroused great enthusiasm
among the auditors. In the language of a
layman, the ''opsonic index means the
power OF the blood to destroy obnoxious
germs. and Sir Almeroth's discovery con-
sists in his method of giving the blood the
necessary vitality to do the work Of de-
struction.
But It is his method which has excited
physicians the world over The ply
stefan believes that incubation with dead
germs of a disease gives the blood power
TO destroy the living germs. Thus IN a case
OF typhoid fever the patient is vacclnated
with dead typhoid germ
The physicians discovery goes further
however. BY the aid OF a great series Of
charts founded upon experiments, he
showed how It is possible for a physician
Immediately after such incubation of a pa
tient TO see II the opsonic power OF the
blood has been increased and so regulate
the treatment with great accuracy.
Sir Almeroth spoke in an exceedingly low
tone and had any OF the ordinary speakers
at the college attempted to give an address
in like manner they would have found their
audience vanishing. But the physicians
were so excited that they fairly hung upon
every Tord Of the almost whispered ad-
dress, and at the close scores Of physi-
clans were standing in the corridors and
stretching their necks to see the charts and
try to follow the whispered leeture.-Phiia-

When they found me, I was half sick.

toned 70, and felt more like falling into
my husbands arms and having a good cry
than acting like q real soldier. But
piucked up my courage and met them with
az much OF a soldierly bearing as I could.
My husband recognized me instantly, and
"a soon as he could get an opportunity to
have few words with me in private,
seeded me for coming, and tried TO make
me leave the service. But I wouldn't,

It received an honorable discharge after
the war was over. and came home with
my husband and settled down to the cares
Of domestic life. I guess 1 am the only
woman in this part OF the country that
ever served through the entire war as
soldier but in spite or that fact few peO-
pie except my Immediate relatives knew
Of my experiences"
Although discharged honorably, Mrs.
Lindley never was able to receive a pen
sion for her service, as she had enlisted
under fictitious name. Her husband died
few years ago, and since that time she
has been drawing a widows pension of s.

Mrs Lindley is sixty-eight years OF age,
and despite the fact that she has lived a
most simple life since she returned from
the war. the hardships endured during
that struggle have begun to tell on her.
and she appears to be older. Even at this
late day the fact that she served through
out the war is known 60 but few OF her
friends and acquaintances. She is always
willing TO tell Of her experiences when
questioned about them, but never volun-
teers any Information.

from home and friends, and was seen by
them no more until the end Of the war.
Putting on n suit Of her husbands clothes,
she went to an adjoining county where n

Anent the action Of the Ministerial az
socistion Of Sioux City pTonOuncing against
choir music in the churches Rev. J. a
iiumnon OF the EOuntEe Memorial church
- Omaha said Tuesday afternoon:
Il DO think that there is somewhat % a
tendency 70 run Wild on church music. but
then there are two sides to The question. I
DO think that q good choir has much 20 DO
with bringing people 90 church and espc-
cially where there Is a tendency TO singing
the great oratorios. which supplant in
measure the craving for the opera Of the
theaters. Good music has q good influence
when tie purpose is 10 influence the mind
toward Christ. and I think It has its effect
in this way. Take our own church. for
instance. We have had an addition OF nearly
go members during the last year, and do
think that our choir has had much to 90
with bringing these people to the church.
Good choirs cannot hurt the cause of

Rev J. W. Coniey OF the First Baptist
Church, Omaha II think that the state

rather too rudical. There is a tendency
among many Of the churches to go to the
extreme Of the artistic feature in church
music. The best Of music should be pro-
duoed In the churches, especially whom Il Is
