Cure Tetanus on L. M. Baker

The following from the Boston Sun.
day Globe will interest the people OF
this secUion:-
8" a remarkable cure in an advanced
case of tetanus has just been effected at
the Mary Fletcher hospital in Burling,
ton. The patient is Leo M. Baker of
Hyde Park, 81 years old. On Nov. 81
Mr.. Baker got three fingers mangled in a
threshing machine, and it became neces
sary to amputate two of them. In nine
days the first symptoms of tetanus, or
lOckjaw, appeared, and two days later
Dec. IL, the man was brought to the hos
pital. He was received in the evening
and anti-toxin was Immediately admins
tered.
The attending surgeon amputated the
three fingers above the disease SO as to
eliminate any of the tetanus germs
which might be in the lacerated wound.
He was given anti-toxin in 5000 unit
doses at intervals of four hours, night
and day, until all symptoms of the dis
ease had disappeared. During his stay
at the hospital he received in all 100000
units of anti toxin, costing about
$16350.
The patient had commissions on the
sixth and seventh days of the disease,
ana IOr perlou VI "a HourS WAS I'D
partially comatose condition and did
not recognize his friends and attendants.
The jaws were set upon arrival at the
hospital, and the mouth could be
opened only about quarter CT an inch,
and it was very difficult for the patient
to swallow. The contraction began to
give way in five or six days and the
patients condition generally to improve.
The man has now been discharged as
entirely cured. The hospital staff and
attending surgeon feel that the mans
life was saved by amputating the fingers
to eliminate the spread of the disease
germs and by the heroic use of anti
toxin.

Two Old Adages

There are two old adages. "Haste
makes waste" and Make haste slowly"
that every one should employ when they
undertake to cure a cough in few min
utes with preparations containing NOR
phine, opium, chloroform or other mar
cotics. They may stop the cough and
cause sleep quickly, but they also dry
up the secretions and constipate, leaving
oftimes a far worse trouble. Rydale's
Cough Elixir is guaranteed under the
Pure Food and Drugs Law to contain no
opiares nor harmful drugs of any kind or
character. Think about it when you or

This very pretty little tempest seems

upper house strongly against the extreme
and dangerous doctrines that have threat

Pare and AIdrlch

We shall from time to time OCCASION
ally give excerpts from the state, as well as
the metropolitan press, on Senator Page,
his acts, his policies, and his doings and
his misdoings. In so doing we shall not
speak as his representative and touching
the following from the Rutland Herald
we may as well say that we disavow any
knowledge as to Senator Pages position
on his Senatorial alliances therein refer
red to. The Rutland Herald, the st. AL
bans Messenger and the Hardwick Ca
zette all have able editorial writers and
their views can hardly be otherwise than
interesting to our readers.
The st. Adams Messenger fearfully
notes the Saturday Evening Post OF aole,
and OF the "strength" of it solem ally
warns Senator Page that Vermont
never sent Senator Page to Washington
to become reactionary or even an over
conservative obstructionist OF the ten
denotes of the modern philosophy of
government" Indeed Who is the orig
inator and enunciator of this modern
philosophy" and from whom il Senator
Page compelled to imbibe it? During
business career of so years in Vermont
Carroll 5. Page won the unbounded con-
fidence and respect of the people of the
state by safe, sane, careful and conserva-
tive business methods. He was pro-
gresslst when he was assured that the
new idea advanced was eXpedient law,
1ul and safe, but the unlimited reliance
OF his fellow CltlZenS on his acumen aud
Judgment comes from the fact that he is
properly believed to be possessed of those
qualities which his st. A bans IN Jntor
now so solemny warns him against ex-
ercising.
The writer has no warrant whatever to
represent Senator Page or any other
member of the Vermont delegation.
Nevertheless, he has some acquaintance
with Vermont, its politics and It's public
servants. Senators Dillingham; and Page
have been entrusted to represent the
state in the upper branch of the national
Congress for many good and sufficient
reasons. Looming largely among them
is the fact that the two men can be
trusted. They are not to be swept off
their feet by any false issue or camor of
the moment They can safely be trusted
to do what is in / Is essential sense the
best thing to do, under all conditions and

MARKET FOR ICE IN TURKEY
Company Slaves Product Until It Re sembIes Snow, Which the Ma
 lives Demand.

There Is a newly erected ice plant at Smyrna, Turkey, built by an Amer ican company, and it is now doing a good business. An ice plant there has been making daily about six tons Of poor ice, which it sold at slo ton.
 The new company makes from dis tiled water a fine. clear ice, which it sells at g. a ton. and although it has been running scarcely 90 days it is selling from % to 40 tons of ice daily.
 The company has some unique com petition from the mountain folk, who bring to Smyrna snow packed in skins. They save the snow in the winter by having it packed in trenches and GOV cred with pine needles.
 The Turks are very conservative. and it is difficult to get some of them to use ice instead of the snow to which they have been accustomed for many years, even though the latter costs them one cent pound. or S20 a ton.
 The new company puts block or ice in a box. with small circular saws at one end, and produces an article that cannot be distinguish from snow and which is sold in successful competition with the mountain snow

It is characterized by brilliant music and gorgeous ensembles, while the comedy element is best described as "whirl- wind of merriment." It is presented by an exceptionally strong company, both as regards acting ability and vo- cal attainments.
 The story of the play is an interest ing one and possesses sufficient prob ability for an entertainment that is presented for laughing purposes. The brilliant costumes, pretty girls, catch music and songs without number, please both eye and ear and combine to make delightful entertainment. The company is headed by Miss Etta Morris, comedienne and soprano of much reputation. The comedy element is almost omnipresent and scarcely a minute of the three hours entertain ment being devoid of laugh-and the absence of any coarseness is marked feature of the entertainment.
