Or. Arthur A. Keene Says.

The Eye being delicate organ
demands the attention of the most
skilled Optician in case Of refrac-
tive errors, or occulist In case Of
organic affection. The public
should be especially warned
against persons who impudently
assume the title Of Expert when il
is fact that they never saw the
idside Of an Optical College, hence
are not qualified to detect the
many and various kinds Of refrac-
tive errors. An expert TO assume
this title legally must be q grad
uate in Optics. To avoid the poss-
ibility Of the public being misled
by unfair and untrue infsrences, j
wish to state that my title is not
assumed. but was conferred on me
by the faculty Of one Of the best
optical colleges in this country.
Remember, when you have paid a
big price for a rough guess, which
has made matters worse, call and
see q Scientific 0ptician.

which have a capacity of 49,5oo tons of

the products of the New England fish

At least the bee deserves share in the

In justice to n. Quinton it should be

FOUL AIR IN STREET CARS.
Up-to-Date Ventilating Apparatus

have proposed the compulsory ventilation

but II will be found difficult to both air
and heat car unless new and up-to-date
yentilat,ns apparatus is installed.
AN example of this style of ventiIators
may be seen on the dozen or SO new cars
running on the 14th street line. In which
the seats are placed at right angles and
face in the direction in which the car Is
| travelling.
These ventilators are patterned after
those to be found In Pullman coaches.
They are of lateral adjustment. operated
by screw-crank. which extends within
convenient reaching distance. and. are
thrown open by twist at the end op-
pcsite to the direction in which the car IS
going This process prevents the natural
Influx OF cold air which would ensue were

the ventilator. admits of An escape OF
the close air in the car and permits
steady intake of fresh air without the
usual accompanying draft in such in
stances on the old-sty,e cars. The size Of
the aperature may also be regulated by
the screw-crank from a mere crack to the
full extent of the yentilator-abour six
inches.

Of the surface lines in this city the prob
lem OF street car ventilation would be re-
duced TO a minimum. but II goes without
saying that i, will be some years before
this advantageous condition may be en-
joyed
But regards the other cars condi-
tions will remain the same 80 long as the
old-style. right-angled transom ventilator
is relied upon. Passengers suffer most
from foul air In the cars during rainy and
bad weather-just the time when the cars

All Paris indeed is talking of the mar
velous cures effected by the discovery of
the learned biologist, NJ Rene Quinton,
whose scientific labors, applied TO thera-
peutics have at last after obstinate oppo-
sition. forced their way 10 the front by the
sheer weight Of incontrovertible fact. In

temperature was higher than ii is now.

nal temperature in face of the constant

In his Sorbonnc lecture NJ. QulntOn dealt
solely with the cases where the results
are. so to speak. instantaneous First and
foremost on the list come athrepslcs-
ne W born babes suffering from the deadly
green diarrhoea unable 10 digest any
food vomiting everything, not only milk,
but even water. One hour after the first
injection the baby is able to take the
feeding bottle, the vomiting and diarrhoea
cease and it is saved. Such results are
not the exception. but the rule. for they
are true of 50 per cent OF the cases. Ii
one reflects that 10000 children die an
nually in France of gastro-enteritis. the
value of the Quinton treatment is evident.
Perhaps one of the most remarka BILE
cures of gastro-enteritis was that of a
baby which was brought to the dispen-
sary when it was practically beyond hui
man aid 1t was unable to digest even
water. The age OF the baby was four
and a half months and it weighed less
than at its birth. Two hours after the
first injection 1t was able to retain two
ounces of milk. Two days afterward its
weight had increased by half pound.
NJ. Quinton showed his Sorbonne au-
dience photographs of babies whose faces
were covered with eczema on their ar
rival at the dispensary. A few injections
sufficed to restore the face to its normal
condition. In treating eczema, it is nee
essary to employ only weak doses. at most
thirty cubic centimeters in the case of an
adult. and ten in that of children.
