A SCARLET FEVER CURE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by DIR. Luhan.

a new treatment for scarlet fever
which, he says, has had long series
Of victories and no failures in its strug-
giles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as a free scien-
tif1c contribution to the medical profes-
sion by DR.. ]. f. G. Luhan, of East
Seventy-second street, N. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from the disease
were the result of paralysis of the
heart, he devised treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre-
vents anaemia-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles-and also prevents
kidney complications.
The physician in speaking of his
treatment, said:
Gas to my treatment. The germs of
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscleS. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis of the heart follows. My
treatment is curative and eliminative.
In the first four days of the disease,
prescription No. 1 increases the iron
in the red blood without impairing
the function of the kidneys. The
ingredients of No. 1, and also another
substance, acts on the kidneys in such
a way as to cause the red corpuscles
which have been destroyed by the dis
ease germs to be eliminated from the
blood. Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion in the interior mech
anism of the kidneys, which turns into
Bright's disease. The extra oxygen in
the blood prevents paralysis of the
heart, which is due to the presence in
the blood of carbon monoxide.

dences of the disease appear, the pat

be bathed in warm water, and then
placed in lightest and best ventilated
room of it's home. The medicine must
be purchased only of reliable druggists,
as it must be perfectly pure and con-
tain no chemical likely to depress the
heart action. 1t must be kept in an
amber colored bottle, as it is affected
by the light. While there are no pois-
ons used in the preparations, the med
icine should be thrown away after the
patient is well and renewed when
needed again."

men of that splendid city nothing i'm
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements of
some of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of a
single community. The story is we'll
worth telling, because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head of
natural resources, such as climate,
soil, timber and minerals A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but it must find the genius to use
them in the best way before it can be
a great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia, which is con-
sequently proud of the enterprising
men it has attracted into it's citizen.

Bourke Cochran, of New York, who
has introduced constitutional amend
ment making the term of Office of a
member of the House four years, in
stead of two years, as at present, be-
lieves that such a change from exist
ing conditions would be all that is es-
sential to establish the predominence
of the House over the Senate, if the
House only saw fit to exercise the
power lodged in it by the Constitu-
ton.
Discussing the subject recently, Mr..
Cochran said:
"There is but one change, one
amendment, that, in nay judgment,
could possibly increase the conse-
quence or capacity of the House to de-
fend itself, and that will be simply the
question of the term of a member.
