In view of the constant agitation
and Misrepresentation with regard to
the treatment with regard to the
treatment of consumption, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis has issued
statement in which It states that
the only sure cure for this disease
is fresh air, rest, and wholesome
food
Hardly a week passes without some
quack "doctor" or eminent special
lst,' informing the public that he has
tuberculosis. After examining every
one of these so-Called cures, several
hundred in number, the National AS
sociation states that, one and all, they
are Misrepresentation or fakes.
TWO GLASSES OF "CURES.
These so-called cures" are diyid-
ed into two general classes. The
first class of cures" includes the
quack remedies and nostrums with
which the public is being constantly
deceived. These range in kind from
good whiskey' to pigs blood or ul-
tra-violet rays. Some Iew of them,
for instance are cod-liver oil, lime
dust, malt extract, goats meat, corn~
oil, clabbered milk, vegetable teas,
and numerous inhalations OF sup
posed germicides, besides large
number of weIl-known patent and
proprietary medicines and numerous
disinfectants. None of these are cures
for consumption. They are rather
for the most part Of a dangerous
character, and patients who take them
may be running serious risk. Con-
sumption Is caused by germ which
destroys portions Of the lungs or 9TH
o, raffsrjtR4 e,s -spas, No drugs, med
lcines, inhaied gas, or home remedies
can, by any means, kill the germ or
close up the cavity in the lungs, as
is ofen claimed for these specifics.
Neither is it possible to inhale a
sufficiently strong germicide to kill
the consumption germ. Such an in
halation would kill the patient be-
fore It would kill the germ.
Another class OF "cures" for con-
sumption, by which many people are
deceived includes the secret rem
edies advertised by unscrupulous
"doctors' and professors" at the
heads Of solcalled "institutes. 4"

on a matter Of fact, II he is untrue to
his conscience and to God?
How is 1t that unrlghteous men will
fight for their false religious creeds
and shrink from no sort of rascality
to accomplish their purpose?
Can you give any other reason than
their unrlghteousness, or assign to
any other principle, the hatred of
these men for so lovely character
as Stephen?
Verse 15.-Did the fact that Ste,
phen loked like an angel
make his prosecutors love him, OF
hate him, more?
Chap. T. Verse 54.-What Is it
cuts wrong doers to the heart more
than anything else?
If these rulers had been Innocent oil
the charge Stephen brought against
them, would they have been cut tc
the heart as they were?
Verse 55.-What do you understand
by Stepuhen being full Of the Holy
Spirit?
What did Stephen see when he
looked up into heaven?
Would the onlookors have probably
seen the same things, as Stephen, il
they had looked up?
Verse 56-57-Did they believe Ste
phen's testimony as to what he saw?
DO cold professors of religion as a
rule, have any confidence in the ex-
perlences Of those who walk and talk
with God?
Verse 58-iHow would these peo,
pie justify themselves for committing
this great crime?
What was the method OF stoning q
victim to death?
Verses 59-6O.-iDoes the spirit sleeT
at death, or go into a state of con,
scious presence with God7
by what power can a man love OF
forgive his murderers?
Chap 8. Verses 1-3.-What wa!
the measure of Saul's sin in tn
stoning Of Stephen?
What were the chief results Of tn,
stoning of Stephen?

Suggestive Questions or the Sunday School
Lesson by Rev. DR.. Linscott for the
International Newspaper Bible Study Club

Stephen the First Christian Martyr.
Acts VIII to viii:3.
Golden Text-They stoned Stephen
calling upon God, and saying, Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit. Acts Wise.
Study Acts vi:S-15; vii:54 to Wills.
Verse S.-Who was Stephen?
In view of present day distinctions
would you call Stephen a layman or a
clergyman?
Why is 1t not crime against the
gospel, that the preaching of the gos-
pei is so professionalism, that our
pulpits today in the towns and cities,
are practically closed to the laymen
of the church, so that even men like
Stephen have to keep silent" In our
church pulpits? (This question is to
be answered in writing my members
Of the club
What was the secret of Stephens
power as a preacher, and to what ex-
tent may every laynan become like
him?
Verse 9-When in community OF
thoughtful men, who oppose the gos-
pei, can it's claims be established bet
ter by debate than by ordinary
preaching or defamation?
Verse 1O.--If you defeat an oppOser
in debate that is not likely to con-
vert him to Christianity; unless he is
sincere seeker after truth, but is
It likely to convert the hearers?
Verses 1113.-What effect did
Stephens victory have upon his OPP
ponents, and what effect did 1t prob
ably have upon the audience?
Is there any necessary moral value
In mere opinion, and will men ever be
condemned because of wrong doc
trlnes; |. e., wrong opinions?
When a man with right views OF
truth, gets angry at the man with
wrong views, and does mean things
to him, that the latter takes with
gentleness; which is likely to be the
better man of the two?
Why is it that men who profess re,
ligion, can act so like devils, when
new truth Is presented to them as In
this case?

religious dispute, be depended upon
