OWES LIFE
TO DOCTORS
AGED. MAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE
RECEIVING HOSPITAL SURGEONS
WORK FAST
Resort to Drastic Measures to Prevent
Death of Patient Suffering
from an Overdose OF
Morphine

Charles II. Brandt, an aged man, VINO
was taken from his room at GOA EAST flitn
street Yesterday afternoon to the recelV-
ing hospital suffering from morphine
poisoning, owes his life to the skill and
readiness of Drs. Quint and Goodrich.
Brandt was in critical condltlon
when he reached the hospital and only
the most heroic treatment saved his Ire
The physicians besides administering
the usual antidotes were compelled to re-
sort to venasection to relieve the con-
gested condition of the arteries and TO
the TRANSMISSION of normal saline solution
to- replace the large quantity of blood
drawn off.
The usual treatment of artificial respi-
ration and stimulation was resorted to
and late last night Brandt was pro-
nounced out of danger.
Mrs. Green Arrested
The poison from which Brandt was sur
fering was administered to MIN, IL is
claimed, by Mrs. j. M. Green, who is said
to call herself a physician, but who mas
no license to practice medicine. She was
arrested last night by members of the
detective department and was booked at
the central station on suspicion.
Mrs. Green said to the detectives that
Brandt called on her at her home on
Towne avenue yesterday morning and
asked her to prescribe for him for ner-
vousness. She stated that Brandt was
suffering from reaction after an overin-
diligence in alcoholic drinks. She told
Brandt to go to his room and go. to bed
and said she would call on him there.
In the afternoon Mrs. Green went to
see Brandt according to her statement
and gave him a hypodermic injection of
one-quarter of a grain of morphine and
to offset its effects gave him also an in
lection of 1-15O of a grain of atropia. She
then left him.
Nearly two hours later the landlady of
the house was attracted to Brandt's room
by his heavy breathing. She could not
awaken him and at once sent for help.
The police came and took Brandt to the
receiving hospital.
The prosecuting attorneys office will
probably take some action against Mrs.
Green for practicing medicine without a
license.

DOCTORS GETTING TOGETHER?
DR.. Sisca Says the Homoeopaths and the
Allopaths Are Converging.

DIR. n. Sisca, an allOpathic physician
of Queensland. in discussing homoeop-
athy, says in the Medical Brief that
1.-THE most striking evidence of the prog
ress homeopathy is making is the vast
amount of material it has accumulated
in its materia medica during the last
thirty years or so.
Time was, and not very long age
either, when all the materia medca
which it was thought indispensable for
ii homeopathic practitioner to know was
enclosed within the 263 pages of a small
book entitled The Principal Uses of the
Sixteen Most Important and Fourteen
Supplementary homeopathic Medi-
cineS.'
Now mere glance at the three pom
derOus volumes of the Dictionary of
the homeopathic Materia Medica' or
at the four still more ponderOus vol
umes of The Cyelopaedia of Drug Path
ogensy' is quite enough to bewilder any
would be student of homeopathy. For
the matter of that, the hom0eopaths
themselves are beginning to groan under
the weight of their own wealth.
DIR. Sisca goes on TO say that while
homeopathy on one side has for over a
century stood with its feet on the i'm
movable ground of its fundamental prin-
ciple, allopathy has been slowly but
surely turning around until today Il very
important part of what homeopathy has
always contended for is in substance if
not in as many words. plainly and fully
recognized By allopathic lecturers and au-
thOrS."

AGE STRIKES SUDDENLY
IN FIVE YEARS CANADIAN PACIFIC
BUILDER LIVED LIFETIME.
Lord Strathcona's Hair Turned White
and He Was Old Man When He
Drove Last Golden Spike.

AT half-past , o'clock on the morning
Of November Z, 1880, at Craigellac bic.
British Columbia, an old man, whose
hair was snowy white. drove golden
spike into the cedar tie upon which the
rails met from east and west.
The man was Donald Smith. The
spike completed the Canadian Pacific.
In the terrible five years of its building
from 1880 to 1885, he had changed from
strong. black bearded, sturdy man to Il
white haired veteran
In the year following Mr. Smith was
rewarded for his services with knight
hood in the Order of St Michael and
~. George. His cousin. Mr.. Stephen,
had already been recognized with ba-
r0netcy, and both had been immortalized
Ill the names of two of the greatest
mountains of the Canadian Rockies,
Mount Donald and Mount Stephen.
;, Since the completion of the Canadian
PacIhc railway, Lord Strathcona' APP
pearance has scarcely altered At the
age OF 81, says writer in the World
work, his eyes are as clear as they were
thirty years ago. His form is slightly bent
with age, but he still walks with firm
and steady step. He talks freely and
brightly on the topics of the day, though
never committing himself on matters of
state, and he always makes his visitor
reel at his ease from the moment he be-
gins conversation TO the time when he
bids him a CHEEKY Goodbye"
1t is this sense OF persistent kind illness
that has won for him such host of
fr'"nds. Once you have experienced *,
YOU can well understand why the King
and the Queen of England dispense with
all formallty where he is concerned-why
they call him Uncle Donald" You feel
that he is Uncle Donald TO you and

sums up the man as he is today.
There is one little feature which may
mean much or little, but which a visitor
- Lord Strathcona cannot but notice.
When indoors he always wears little
brown mat of silk, daintily crochcted, on
the top of his head to cover the place
where the once abundant hair has disap-
peared.
Why he wears this little cap nobody
seems to know, but there must be some
reason of no ordinary nature, for it gives
him a great deal of trouble slipping over
his head whenever he turns with a quick
movement, as he often does when en-
gagged in conversation which interests
him. He always balances it again care
fully.
1t may be some gift of the olden days
some mementO of faithful Indian friend
the Canadian wildS. or it may be the
work of his wife's hands. Certain it is
that some interesting history attaches TO
it. and that Lord Strathcona sets high
value on the little square of worked silk
