WHITE PLAGUE CURES
OF GREAT INTEREST
Growing Demand for Reliable
Information Upon the Sub
ject of Consumption.
Department of Health of New
York City Gives Timely
Advice Thereon.

Commissioner Thomas Darlington Of
the New York City Department of
Health has just issued a circular Of
information on consumption "cures" in
which attention is called to the fact
that there is no specific treatment for
consumption and in which it is insisted
that sufficient amount Of proper food,
with plenty Of fresh air and rest const1-
tute the essential basis Of all success
full methods Of treatment. According
to the department of health consump-
t1ves spend more money On patent
medicines and special modes Of treat
ment than any other class Of persons
who are really i'll. Consumption is nos
disease of rapid progress, as COM
pared to other Illnesses and there is
therefore ample time for the consump-
tive to look about him, to grasp at any
straws In the way of assistance. Many
consumptives have not the time or
money to undergo sanatorium treat
ment, or, to provide themselves with tho
special diet so often necessary and nat.
urally lend a willing ear to those who
promise to cure them rapidly, cheaply
and without keeping them from their
work. Having the time to realize all
that life means those stricken with this
disease desire even more ardently to
live.
Classification Of Cures.
Consumption cures are classified in
the circular as patent cough medicines,
special remedies for consumption, con-
sisttng largely of preparations Of vege-
table or mineral substances. serum
treatment, although it is we'll known
that no serum having any curative ef-
feet has been discovered, special diet,
electricity X-rays, light and cabinet
cures, plasters, poultlces and other ex-
ternal applications. Z, In the ADVERTISE
ment of these alleged cures there is
just sufficient foundation of fact to
make them extremely tempting. Be-
cause the pain Of tuberculous pleu-
r1sy may be relieved by the application
of a mustard plaster, even though such
procedure is. we'll known to have no
effect on the disease of the lungs. blist-
ering plasters are ? advertised al a
means of producing ulcers Of the chest
. walls and the absurd yet plausible
claim is then set up that the DISCHARGE
or corruption from such ulcers comes
from the lungs. JAM. =. ..res-t1.

QUEER CUSTOMS RIFE
IN HERMIT KINGDOM

Korea, called by outsiders the Her
NIT Kingdom" is known to it's own
people as Chosen, meaning, morning
calm" or morning freshness"
1t comprises a peninsula of Asia,
northeast of China, 600 miles long 1876
miles broad and including an area of
about $4,000 square miles. The popu-
lation is estimated at from eight to
sixteen million people, including for
egners, Of whom the greater number
are Japanese. There are about 300
| Americans resident In the country.
The Koreans are Of Monaghan ORR
gin, tall, robust, and rather PROPOSES
sing in appearance. Their language is
polly syllabic. In dress, customs and
architecture they show the influence
of Chinese civilization. The Chinese
claim to have civilized Korea In the
| twelfth century B. c.
Woman tho Burden Bearer.
Korea has been under the suzerainty
Of China from earliest times, except
for a brief period between 1892 and
1898, when it was under japanese pro-
lection, until 1875, when Japan signed
| a treaty recognizing it as an independ-
e1ll HdIlOn.
The burdens of life fall more heav-
lily upon the women Of Korea than in
most countries, even In the Orient.
Indeed, it would be difficult to point
to any nation where the lot of woman
is more completely unenviable than in
Korea. The male Korean, except in
the highest classes, regards his wife
| as the burden bearer of the family
Cur1ously nougn, however, the male
Korean does not attain to the full
dignity Of mans estate until he mar
| ries. No matter how long he may
| defer that event, he is compelled to go
bare-headed and to wear his hair in a
| pig-tail until his wedding. He is
treated as a boy, excluded from the
councils of men and is a person of no
consequence during the pg-tail period
! Of his life.
Queer Medicine.
Korea is the paradise Of quacks. AS
medicine the ground skull Of a tiger
is high In favor for all Ills, while
ginseng, pulverized horns of a fawn,
macerated spiders and similar mix
lures are consumed in great quanti-
ties with trust and confidence in their
virtues. In surgery their practice is
limited to the crudest operations.
Religion in Korea. as far as there
may be said to be any, Is modelled on
Chinese patterns with such results as
might be expected. Law and the adj
ministration of justice are utterly
feeble and reeking with corruption.
The reins Of government, as in
China, are in the hands Of class
which, by family tradition, lives by
the shameless oppression and robbery
of the poor.
Koreans are .passionately devoted to
|. flowers, although comparative few
have the means to indulge their taste
in this direction.
Never Use Milk.
The land Is generously blessed with
animal life. There are. no oxen, how
ever, and Koreans never use, milk 81 ii:
any Of its products. The work is all
done by bullocks, which usually at
