DOCTOR TO TREAT
SICK BY WIRELESS
II. A. FRAUENTHAt, NOTED SUR.
GEoN. AT WORK ON WONDER
Full ELECTRICAL CURE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-By COM
bination of drugs and electricity Hen
ry A. Frauenthal, physician and sur
geon-in-chief of the Hospital for De-
formities and Joint Diseases, at Nos.
1917 and 1919 Madison-ave., and his
brother. Herman c. Frauentsal, direc-
tor OF the electrical department and
visiting orthopedic surgeon at the
same institution, expect to perfect q
system by which electrical cures may
ne conveyed In the same manner that
is employed in sending Marconi tele-
grams.
1t IS just a question of how far
medication can be conveyed DR..
Henry A. Frauenthal said to a re
porter yesterday. "Of course, we
know now that II Is possible ID send
messages through waves of electri-
city. and yet at one time We laughed
al the idea, just as people will laugh
a. this one.
I'VE have already used this system
in q room to great advantage. With
liz il is not necessary to touch the pa
ticnt with any instrument whatsoever.
This Is very advantageous. as many
persons are afraid OF electricity. and
the effect is even better tha1 that OBJ
tanned through the use of the ordin-
airy electrical machines, though there
Is 20 perceptible shock felt by he pa
tiont."
Through the Frauenthal system,
people living at the other end OF the
city might be treated from his labora-
tory. many grave inconvenience
would be overcome. II would no longer
be necessary for men or women sur
fering from rheumatism, paralysis or
any physical atrophy TO be carried. at
great pain to themselves down long
stairways and in rumbling aubulances
or coaches TO hospitals, thar are the
greatest dread of The sick.
Were a man 10 be stricken at his
Office or at his home with an attack
of paralysis or rheumatism, which
would make it impossible for him TO
move, he might procure instant relief
through the Frauenthal SYSTEM by
telephoning to the doctors laboratory.
An operator or the doctor himself
would turn on the current which
would be connected with the nearest
station, and the wave of indicated
electricity would be felt by the SUI
ferer.
AS the doctor himself explains, II Is
very similar to the absent treatment.
which is given by the Christian Sci
ence healers. II is possible that a
company will be formed for convey
ing electrical treatment. which
will send physical relief In much the
same manner as the Marconigrame
are sent flying through the air, will
some time be organized. Photographs
have been made In this manner; why
not cures? argues the doctor.
DIR. Frauenthal Is already well
known for the great number of cures
whichs he has accomplished among the
deformed. He has been the origina-
tor of many new and successful cures
for such cases. The growth OF the
hospital of which he is the head Is
largely due to his success.
During the present year he has CIV.
on 9.47i treatments. II Is altogether
charitable institution.

PRODUCE.

The market for the week opened
very quiet on account of wet weather
and hight receipts in all lines. and
prices were nominaliy steady. There
is a very sttong feeling in butter. The
hot dry weather has cut down produc-
ton very materially and stocks OF tho
better grades are very limited. current
receipts OF eggs are sufficient to keep
the trade supplied without drawing on
storage stocks. There was no poultry
in, the market ruling nominally steady
Offerings OF berries were extremely

was nothing 10 affect prices. Peach S
arc still scarce but the market is load

pie without their knowing 1t and
that breeds extravaganza in govern
ment. Something like four millions
of dollars are required 10 run the
state government. We might increase
that to eight millions by squeezing
the interests little more, and
thus be enabled to extend the pie
counter very considerably. But who
would be paying that extra four mil
lions? Manifestly the people who
produce the wealth, and yet that
money going out from them " by
stealth they would know about it
only by their cramped condition.
There is the evil of custom house
taxation; the people are all the while
paying the tax without knowing
about it, and where the protective
principle enters they pay enormous
sums to private interests and know
about it only as they find it difficult
to make both ends meet Could the
people see the workings of the fed
eral system of taxation as it exists
today, there would be political rev.
olution in this country. The leaders
of the dominant party feared the
storm might break as it did in 1892,
and so they wrote in their platform
promise of tariff revision.
Where is the justice of gross re-
ceipts taxation? A business may be
losing money, or just about making
even, and yet it must pay taxes on
it's gross receipts. The principle is
wrong, and it's possible extension Is
doing more today to retard the pros
perity of Texas than all other agen-
cies combined. 1t was seriously pro-
posed in the last legislature to tax
the gross receipts of various useful
enterprises, and that threat is with
us to this day, doing the state most
serious injury.
We ask the reader to get line on
support. Trace every one of them
to its source and see if it doesn't
come out of the toiling multitude.
This being the case; the producers
paying the dollars which flow into
the states treasury, what could be
more absurd than the claim that
two-thirds of the burden of govern
ment has been shifted from the
shoulders of the masses?
When we attempt to shift the bur
den of taxation we simply create dis
trust without giving relief; in the
| last analysis, all taxation falls on
the toiler. And when we have to re-
sort to Mdirect taxation we are sure
/ absolutely and without question
to have extravaganza in govern
ment.
( Let every interest and each indi-
| vidual get the same treatment. Make
assessments as nearly uniform as
possible and tax all alike. That will
insure investment, and investment
