NEW REMEDY FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
lNHAlE WHISKY VAPOR AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE ESPECIAL
LY BEFORE RETIRING.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 5.-Of cures
for the great white pla que there is
no end, but Portland man has
sprung a new one that he declares
is efficacious. This IS none other
than the fumes of whisky. He says
a sufferer from tuberculosis OF the
lungs should inhale whisky vapor as
much as possible, and particularly
before retiring at night.
E. w. Moore, a well known photog-
rapher of this city, has made known
the above treatment. He says that
he has demonstrated in two instances
that it is effective and he feels con-
fident that if given fair trial, it
will cure the dread disease.
"A year or so ago." said Mr.. Moore,
81 had a friend who was afflicted
with tuberculosis and who went to
Arizona in the hope that the climate
might effect cure. He failed to
improve and returned home to spend
the last days with his relatives. While
he was in Arizona, had heard of
possible remedy which l had never
before heard of being tried. Physi-
clans often prescribe whisky for per-
sons with affected lungs, but l BE-
lieve the only good that can be ac-
complished Is by the small percent
age of the dram that reaches the
lungs in vapor / thought that by
inhaling the fumes a better result
would be obtained. | secured a small
cask that had contained whisky and
poured a small quantity of liquor in
to it to make the odor stronger. l
induced my friend to inhale the vapor
through a ruber tube. Only a few
months ago he weighed 115 pounds;
today he tips the beam at 15S pounds.

Treating similarly and the results

The examiners were still working

it was probable that several weeks

Mr.. Bailey was still i'll at the Knicker-

Gertrude's conduct puzzled me. She

matters pertaining to the bank, and

bitterness; he had to sacrifice every
thing he had in the world, and his
feeling against Paul Armstrong. dead,
as he was, must have been bitter in
the extreme. He was asked to Of

dead bankers body was inferred in

man providentially took cold, and a

questions and possible answers, but

began. The list was something like
this:
Who had entered the house the night
before the murder?
Thomas claimed 1t was Mr.. Bailey
whom he had seen on the foot-path, and
who owned the pearl cuff-link
Why did Arnold Armstrong come back
after he had left the house the night he
was killed?
No answer. Was 1t on the mission
Louise had mentioned?
Who admitted him?
Gertrude said she had locked the east
entry. There was no key on the dead
man or in the door. He must have been
admitted from within.
Who had been locked in the clothes
chute?
Some one unfamiliar with the house
evidently. Only two people missing from
the household, Rosie and Gertrude Rosie
had been at the lodge Therefore-but
was it Gertrude? Might 1t not have been
the mysterious intruder again?
Who had accosted Rosie on the drive?

1t was not vandalism. It had been done
