years ago, the government produced evil

ieged killing Of MS wife, Nettie Burge,
which occurred IN January. 1s03 on 4
street northwest. between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets. Burge went TO the
home Of his mother-in-iaw and raised q
row. The District Court Of Appeals held
the evidence Of this testimony as mad
uissible on the ground that he defendant
was on trial for one offense. and that any
other ofense could not be shown in such
proceeding.
Shortly after the occurrence at the
house OF Burgess mother-in-Iaw, he was
taken to the Emergency Hospital, suf-
fering from a bullet wound In the head.

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in, they may be
healed with maturation and in about
one.third the time required by the old
treatment. This is the greatest discov.
cry and triumph OF modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts OIL this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness and pre-
vents any danger Of blood poisoning

PROBES BRAIN
Extracts Steel With Forceps When
 Powerful Magnet Fails.

Philadelphia, Jan. 23.-Just as a dentist searches for the root of brok- en tooth, Dr. w. w. Keen, chief sur- 2eon at the Jefferson hospital, after magnet failed to do it's work, thrust i' pair of forceps into the brain of a living man and twisted them about until they seized a piece of steel for which tEe surgeon was seeking. He frightened his grip upon the handles. and then with a strong, slow pull drew out a silver of steel three inches lcng bent on one end into the shape Of a f3hhook
 A flow of pus followed the extrac- ton, and after hot solution had been applied to the wound a tube was in- serted into the abscess that had form ed about the steel. The tube will re- main for several days Then the wound will be closed.
 The patient is John Nail of Win ston, N. c. A steel link from a brok- en belt struck him just above the right ear six months ago. He appa- rently recovered, but recently was seized with convulsions and mental alteration. Today a huge electro magnet was applied to the surface of the brain in the hope of removing the steel. It failed, and the surgeon re. sorted to forceps.
