Professor Leopold Schroeder was
called to see the Crown Prince Fred
erick in 1887 before Sir MorrelI Mac
kenzie had reached San Reno. The
prince, evidently suspecting the worst.
turned to Schroeder after the examina-
tion and said, 81 request the truth as
to my ailment." Schroeder hcsitated
and made an effort to direct the con-
versation in another direction. but
Frederick insisted Il am a soldier"
he said, land can look death in the
eye. | ask you now plainly. to the

Schroeder could hardly contain himself,
and years after the scene when he re-
called it he spoke of it rs the most
painful in his life. He conducted the
crown prince to chair and asked him
to be seated. Then he said Your i'm
perial highnesS, you are suffering from
serious complaint. and it Is possible
that it may develop into carcinoma.

Prohibition Is Issue.

Birmingham, Ala, July 27.-After
short and heated campaign, a dem
ocratic primary today will decide the
mayorality contest in the Magic
City. The fight is between Captain
Frank P. O'Brien and former Mayor
w. NJ brennan. The latter is an
aowed prohibitionist, while Captain
OBrien is openly opposed to prohibit
ton.
In the election last winter Bir-
mingham went against prohibition,
but was outyoted by the county,
which was the unit of the territory
voting on the proposition. Whatever
change of sentiment may have devel-
oped on this question since the in
PRODUCTION of the law can not be ac-
curately estimated.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

WORK AT PASTEUR INSTITUTE.
Assistant Physician Says June Epi-

Assistant Physician Says June Epi-
demic Has About Disappeared.
] Austin, Texas, July 2T.-Dr. ]. T
the State Insane Asylum and il
charge of the treatment given in the
Pasteur Institute, states that the
epidemic or rabies prevalent in June
appears to have died out.
DR.. White stated that there were
more patients in the Pasteur depart
ment in June than in any other
month in the history of the institu-
ton, the average having been forty
five, while now there are some six
teen being treated He said that
there was an apparent spread of hy
drophobia among animals early in
June and that dogs We're biting each
other, causing many to go mad. In
every instance he had patients write
home to responsible persons to have
the dogs killed, and many were slain
in different counties throughout the
state, a total of sixty CANNES having
been killed in one community in one
day. He said it was the only way to
end the awful danger.
Recently, the doctor said, two
children from Oklahoma We're treat
ed and have not developed hydropho-
bia, though their father, who was
bitten by the same animal at the
same time the children were attack
ed, died with hydrophobia. He did
not take the treatment and the chill
dren did, but started late. The period
of treatment is twenty-one days, and
II the patient survives ten days af-
| ter the twenty-one, or total of thir-
ty-one days, they are considered
safe. The two children from Okla
homa have passed the tenth day af-
ter the treatment, and are believed
to be out of danger, though their
case was desperate because of wait
ing too long to start. A total of $50
cases have been treated at the Texas
Pasteur Institute, and of that mum
Der but four have died, and the four
died in less than ten days after the
twenty-first day. The average was ex-
ceedingly small, indicating the SPLEEN
did work being done in the interest
of humanity, and it also showed that
the death danger is over after the
maximum of thirty-one days. DR..
White said that dog will not live
over twelve days if it has hydropho-
bia, hence persons bitten by dogs
should pen and watch the animals
for twelve days. If the brutes live
over twelve days the person bitten
need have no fear of hydrophobia. If
the dog dies under twelve days the
person injured should make haste
to enter the Pasteur Institute and be
on the safe side
