the recent biennial report of the
toard of charities and corrections
contains some information that is Of
interest to the public, particularly
what the board has to say CONCERNING
the feeble minded institute at Red
field. There is little known. per-
haps. OF the asylum, but that it is
standing as a bulwark against the
possible spread Of weakmindedness
among a certain class of citizens there
is nc question, and the asylum ought
to be so surrounded and guarded that
it can have greater authority over the
feebleminded Of the state. The
following paragraph taken from the
report Of the beard shows to what
length feeblemindedness can be
spread where the inmates are finally
let out on the superstition that they
can take care Of themselves:
"Here are housed an unfortunate
class of our citizens for most Of
whom there is little hope in life.
The real purpose of this institution
should be to give a permanent abode
for all feeble minded boys and eills
and men and women as we'll, who.
are capable of..proragating their kind.
1t is a tremendous fact that mental
as we'll as physical conditions are
transmitted by heredity. There are
already in this institution at least
three women Of child bearing age,
who have already brought into the
world children as unfortunate as
themselves in this respect and one
OF them is the mother OF four child
rem Of this class. About Thirty years
ago an inmate of the institution of
the feeble minded at Columbus,
Ohio, was graduated under the
system in vogue at That time, edu-
Gated as best she could be and then
sent out into the world to rustic for
herself. Today there are eleven
feeble minded children being cared
for in that same institution all of
whom are the offspring Of that sane
feeble minded person who graduated
there thirty years before. These are
themselves upon the men and women
who have to dv with the problems
connected with. this class OF unfor-
tunates. These boys and girls should
not he sent out into the world to fill
the earth with their kind but should
be given permanent homes in the
institution. This much the state
can do and should do. Other states
are doing it. The Boosting citizen
prides himself and his state upon his
high breed Of horses and cattle and
sheep and hogs ane ever dogs. but
never a thought is bestowed upon
this subject when it comes to prop.
agatilg the human species. Has
the state no interest? So far as
! possible it has a right to protect
itself against the burdens of this
class; furthermore, it is its duty to
protect society therefrom."

BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL

edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
butnotlcast, briggs to the home the vast
and varied experience of Or. Hartman,
intheuse ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prcvalec.. Many
thousand people lcow they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
SIS he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and CT
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct

No other household remedy so uni

explains that the forces which he pro
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had TO come to Ade-

beyeled wheels, a spindle, a tube and
so on. He is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether machine which will bring
perpetual motion apDreciably nearer.
