medical friend of his who engag-
ed a nurse, recently graduated, for
a case Of delirium tremens,. The
physician succeeded in quoting the

structing the nurse to administer it
to him if he began to see snakes

nurse replied that the man had
been going on that way for several
hours and that she had not given
him any medicine.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured By

The Conference OF Governors.


The conference Of Governors Cab
met officers and others called by
the President at Washington has
proved in every respect a complete
success. The attendance Of Gov
ernors, forty-tive in number, was
larger even than expected, and the
interchange Of views is certain to be
productive of the best results. As
we have noted, an informal confer
ence of some twenty odd Governors,
held at Memphis last year, on the
occasion of the President ; visit
worked SO well that the pre-
sent larger conference was called
by Mr.. Roosevelt. The attendance
is double that Of last year, increas-
ed interest is displayed and an
agreement has been reached on
many matters. So satisfactorily
has the conference been in all re-
spects that it is now proposed by
the President that a similar meet
ing should be held every year.
This Will probably be decided on;
and if it is, it viii have the cordial
support of the people. We can CON
ceiye Of no better way in which a
great many problems of this coun-
try can be handled than through
conference of the Governors. There
is defect in our government and
constitution in this respect which
prevents cooperation between the
States even when this IS advisable
There are many questions affecting
the relations of the States which
can not be determined by Congress.
We have tried to meet the difficulty
in many ways, but our efforts have
not been wholly successful. Con
ventions may make recommended
tions, but they have no official
backing or weight or power to en-
force their findings The various
organizations for securing unformi-
ty Of legislation on certain points
are working arduously but very
slowly. As for the plan of securing
uniformity through the Federal gov
eminent by extending its powers
and giving it control and jurisdic-
ton over matters not entrusted to
it by the Constitution, there IS
every argument against it, and the
friction it causes will undo any
good it might contribute.
1t seems TO us that better and
more immediate results can be ac-
complished by a conference Of the
Governors, who, after discussing
the matter brought before them for
consideration, ought to .be able to
reach a conclusion of what is best
in their several States, and whose
recommendations thereon would
naturally receive consideration and
be put into effect
We hope, therefore, that an an
nual call for a conference of this
kind will be issued. The present
call proposes only a consideration
of the preservation of our natural
resources, but it can be broadened
from time to time 50 as TO allow
concerted action on all questions Of
interest to the States. Something
of this kind is absolutely necessary
in a country like this, of such wide
extent and varied resources, and
whose people are so widely scatter
ed that it Is a difficult matter 10

ton and State.-New Orleans

A Surgical Feat.

Modern surgery is continually
adding new and wonderful triumphs
to its record. 1t has not yet made
human being outright or created
life, but it swaps organs about from
one body to another and sets life
agoing again after it has apparently
if not actually gone out.
1t required both nerve and skill
on the part of that Hartford, Con-
necticut, surgeon TO take between
his fingers a PATIENTS exposed heart
that had stopped beating and
squeeze it until it was stimulated
into action Notwithstanding which
a Hartford dispatch says that just
mt the crucial point Of a delicate
operation on the lungs on a patient
when ii seemed that the tiny spark
of life had Hickered out and that
the body on the operating table had
ceased to breathe, the operating
surgeon reached through the incis-
ION to the heart which was plainly
seen and gently squeezed it once or
twice. Again the man : respiration
began ftfully, and cutting away of
the diseased organs was continued
until the heart pulsations were
again dying out. Once more the
surgeon gently grasped the almost
stilIed heart, and with several we'll
timed squeezes started life anew,
this time long enough to finish the
operation and lose the incision. "
1t was believed that the patient
would live, and if SO, would owe
his existence, says the news item.
to the nerve and daring of the sur
geon.

LADY MANAGERS
WIN THEIR POINT
Ii Recommendations Go Through
Changes Viii Be Made in
Women's Hospital
DR.. VowinckeI's Friends Vote
Down Proposition to Throw
Institution Open

If the recommendations of the board
of lady managers of the California
women's hospital are concurred in by
meeting today, radical changes in the
management of the institution will take
effect within a short time. These
changes will include the placing of the
business affairs of the institution in
the hands of superintendent selected
by the board of managers; the introduc-
tion of a modern system of book keep
ing at the establishment, and the
awarding of a contract for all goods
including drugs-to the lowest bidder
The friends of DIR. F. W. Vowinckel,
surgeon in charge, were successful in
the matter of voting down the proposal
TO throw the institution open for the
reception of the patients of all repu-
table physicians.
The lady board of managers OF the
hospital held its meeting yesterday and
TOOK action on the report of the investi-
eating committee, which had recon-
mended radical changes in the conduct
OF the institution. In all but one of
the essential features of the report the
investigating committee was sustained
by the board.
The friends of Dr. vowinckel were
In the majority and voted down a
recommendation to place him on an
equal footing, so far as the Institution
was concerned, with all other reputable
physicians. In the matter of creating
the office of superintendent, the board
voted favorably. because of the dis
closures made by the committee.
Ihe amended report will be taken
up by the board of trustees at a meet
ing to be held today The trustees
will make such amendments as they
deem proper, and the report will be
taken up tomorrow at joint meeting
OF the lady managers and trustees. If
the reform faction has its way 1t was
reported last evening that the trus-
tees would attempt to delay final action
on the report but this could not be
confirmed
Rumors were current to the effect
that If the trustees did not take favor
able action on the report there would
be a number of designations from the
ladies' board.
