NEW CURATIVE AGENCIES.
FROM REV SAMUEL MCCOMB'S CHRISTIANITY AND HEALTH IN THE MARCH CENTURY.

The present dislike of drugs and med icines has, of course, grown fanatic al {; there is truth behind it which can no longer be ignored. And if medical science is to regain the es- teem of the world, it must fairly and squarely take the ground that for the great majority of the ailments that afiict American humanity the contents of the pharmacopoeia are of very limit ed efficacy; that for these the directly curative agencies must be moral and psychical. Indeed, it is to this position that the most advanced medico-psy ychol- ogical experts are now coming.

so MANY JOYS.
EDITH M. THOMAS IN THE MARCH
 CENTURY.

1 have so many joys. One joy, of lovely
 sights That down my days defile and dream
 along my nights: My soul is like room with mirrors all
 set round, Where Beauty, once beheld hath infinite
 rebound. I have so many joys. One joy of move
 ment free, That makes me sister to the winds and
 to the sea. Oh, verify, my hand hath pleasure all
 its own; My feet that press the turf distinct de- light have known! l have so many joys. One joy, of hearts that speak That ere word can pass, will tell me what l seek: Such joy there is in being loved, but
 vaster joy In loving. These twain joys there's
 nothing can destroy. I have so many joys. In yielding hon.
 age, one. Such glorious creatures God hath made beneath the sun! For some of these. and their white faith, | and deeds sublime, Twas given me to meet as on toward
 God we climb. 1 have so many joys. One, memory linked with hope; For, even as those stars struck out in
 heavens cope, Are shining. still, these thousand years
 upon the earth, So, all the loves Eve lost, still shine
 upon my hearth. l have so many joys. One joy of lone.
 ness, And one, unnamed, that bears me
 whither none may guess. Nay, not myself. For out of self afar
 wing; And only know, returning, 1 my joys
 must sing.

THE REAL MRS EDDY.

Stranded on desert island without any knowledge of the Christian Science cult, one could still hardly fail to be interested in the Life of Mrs Eddy, running through McClure's. It is the unveiling of an extraordinary person. ality. The March number describes "rhe Adoption of a Son and the Found ing of the Mother Church." Mrs Eddy's only son, George Glover, visited his mother, but says Miss Milmine, "Mr Glover's prolonged stay in Chelsea seems not to have brought him and his mother any closer together, for, almost immediately after his return to the West, Mrs Eddy adopted son who was presumably more to her liking. Eben- ezer Johnson Foster was man of forty-one when Mrs Eddy adopted him, and she herself was then in her sixty eight year. Dr Foster was a homeo- pathic physician who had been practis- ing his profession at Waterbury Center, little mountain town in Vermont. '" The new son served his adopted mother with unquestioning obedience, and she bestowed on him fur coat and dia- mond finger ring, and sent him to the Boston School of Oratory that he might creditably represent her in public. The course of maternal love, however, was at times far from smooth, and, like other members of Mrs Eddy's house. hold, Dr Foster Eddy had occasional bad days. The founding of the Mother Church, the peculiar juggling by which Mrs Eddy acquired the property and the methods by which she established her autocratic sway are absorbingly interesting. In this interesting life of the founder of Christian Science, the people who so quickly come and go seem to contribute little but a heightened effect of Mrs Eddy's char acter. Mrs Eddy took great comfort in Dr Fosters presence in the house and began to feel that from him she might hope for the unquestioning obedi- ence and perpetual adoration she was always seeking. She loved to amaze and astonish; when her students ceased to wonder" she was usually through with them. Each of her favorites gave her, as it were, a new lease of life; with each one her interest in every thing quickened. The great outside audience meant very little as compared with the pliant neophyte beside her char or across the table from her. It was when Mrs Eddy was weaving her spell about new favorite that she was at her best, and it was then that she most believed in herself. But she could never stop with enchanting, merely. She must altogether absorb the new candidate; he must have nothing left in him which was not from her. If she came upon one lnsoluble atom hidden away anywhere in the marrow of his bones, she experienced a revulsion and flung him contempt hously aside."

At the annual meeting of the direct ors of the Southern New England Tel ephone Company, James T. Moran was elected vice president of the company to succeed James English, who declined a reelection. MT Moran will still re-. tain his position as general attorney of the company.
 MT Moran was born in North Haven on September l9, 1864, and was educated in the public schools of New Haven, graduating from the Hillhouse High School with the class of 1883. He en- tered the Yale Law School in 1882, and received the degree of L. l.. B. in 1884 and of M. L. in 1885. In September of that year., on reaching the age of twenty one years, he was admitted to the bar.
 Mir Moran entered the law office of the late Morris F. Tyler, then Platt, Tyler and Colby, as student, about the time that the Southern New England Telephone Company was organized. He afterward became MT Tyler's law partner and was always intimately as- sociated with him in the conduct of affairs of the company, until in fact he became President Tyler's first lieuten- ant in all the active duties of his office.
 MT Moran is trustee of the Con-, necticut Savings Bank, director of the Merchants National Bank, The Nation al Folding and Paper Box Company and The Acme Wire Company, and president of the New Haven Union Company. He is trustee of the St Francis Orphan Asylum and of the St Lawrence Cemetery Associatio n. Since 1887 he has been actively con- nected with the public life of New Hav- en and during that period of time he has occupied public positions as follows Membership on the Board of Council men from 1887 to 1889 inclusive, being president of the same in 1888. Mem bership on the Board of Finance in 1887, director of the Public Library 1890 to 1892 inclusive, Police Commissioner 1895 to 1897, acting as president of this board the second year that he served on the same, and continuous mem bership on the Board of Education from September, 1893. a position which he occupies at the present tim e, his term expiring in 1909. He has beer chairman of the Committee on Schools for ten years. Mir Moran is also g member of the Civic Improvement Com mission, which is in charge of the "City Beautiful" project for New Haven
 On April 27, 1898, he was married to Mary E. Mckenzie and has one child living, Helen, aged six years.
 Those who know MT Moran appre. ciate his unfailing vigor and interest 1T the work which he has taken up. Hi: intimate association with Mir Tyler and his close connection with the company, both as its attorney and right-hand man to Mir Tyler for so many years, have fitted him for the duties which are before him. He is filled with that

never failing enthusiasm which is an all essential factor in carrying out any kind of work. His advent into the company. like that of MT filling, is a qualification to all and promises that the new era in the life of the corpora tion will be highly gratifying one.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE

One of the most important things to
be emphasized with reference TO the
advance of medical science in the last
few years is that the physician who has
had thorough scientific training is so
equipped that he is reasonably confident
of accomplishing what be undertakes,
and is able to keep his promises.
In the old days there was much guess
work as to the outcome of the use of
certain methods of treatment. Nova
days, the wonderful success attending
certain scientific experiments, have
proven their worth and removed all
doubt as to the method of procedure or
the results of the labors of the specialist
who has kept abreast with the times.
1t is especially necessary to empha-
size this truth when dealing with the
man who clirgs to the old way of doing
things. The man who takes dose of
some "home remedy" for every all
ment, or worse still falls victim to
the broad and over liberal promises of
the patent medicine vender
The man who knows he needs medi-
cal attention, sees that his family are
not robust and strong, should stop and
consider that the price he pays for the
services of the best medical men in the
country is small compared to the well
fare and physical we'll being of himself
and family the average American
citizen is too much inclined to drifting
when it comes to a matter of health.
Compare the work accomplished by
DIR. L. Nj. Turbin, the Chicago Special
ist, who visits our city one day each
month and has for the past eighteen
years, with the old time methods, and
you will see thai he has more than lived
up to the reputation he has earned for
curing cases which others have pro-
nounced incurable.
He is straightforward, a careful and
accurate diagnostician, who gives each
and every case the careful attention
and skillful treatment which insures
success, and numbers among our
friends and neighbors, so many who
hsrSS h@en treated and cured by bis
Treatment, as to forever silence any
doubt as to his ability to be the victor
in battle with any forms of chronic dis
eases in men and women
The doctor is courteous, pains-taking
and conscientious, and the person seek
/ ing the best medical advice and treat
ment would do we'll TO consult him
before going to others.
DIR. Turbin will give free consultation
and examination in his Office at the
Bells Hotel when he visits Wausau,
