turkeys used in the absence of presentday facili-
ties for transport to be driven long distances on
the roads, couple of noble sportsmen laid
ger as to the speed of turkeys and geese over a
course which it would take a matter of days to
traverse. Each nobleman provided with a
little flock of four Of the fowls of his fancy, and
of betting high in favor of the tur-
keys. And at first they seemed to justify their
hackers, for they soon stalked away from their
waddling rivals and left them far behind. So
things went on all day, but as dusk came on the
arstocratic turkey herd found his charges becom-
ing passive resisters, and displaying an ncurable
desire to go to roost-no amount of coaxing would
propel them farther. Meanwhile the despsed

The fact is, of course, that turkeys
don't come from Turkey, and were I'M

lea, in the north of which continent
the wild turkey still roams in unre-
strained freedom, though not, alas, in
undiminished numbers.
When the enterprising Spaniards
began to explore the resources of the
new world that Columbus had opened
out for them, they found that the ma.
tives had tanned big bird, which they
regarded as sort of peacock; and it
was not long after the discovery of
America that the new bird made his
appearance in European poultry yards.
Great must have been the disgust
of the original occupants of these
when the invader appeared. For one
thing he was much bigger than any
of them, and could look down on
them in the most literal sense. He
was also fully aware of the Importance
of his expensive personality and lost
no time in impressing 1t on all and
sundry. The peacock, who had

posing and as table delicacy-the

But it is not only in the display of his charms
that the turkey proclaims his advantage over the
world of our feathered Dependents his stentorian
gobbling arrests the attention of all.
The said gobbling, by the way, has given rise
to the only bit of folklore about the turkey that
/ know of. Being an American he is too modern
to have legends associated with him as a rule:
but Indian Mohammedans profess to hear in the
turkeys voice blasphemous mockery Of their
brief creed as spoken in Arabic. Hence. when

One can even get a turkey by hunting him with

NEW REMEDY FOUND
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Sodium Iodide and Ozone Ef-
ficient in LaryngeaI Type,
Says Specialist.

NEW YORK. August 2o.-The Copen-
hagen correspondent OF the Medical Rec
ord writes Of a new treatment for tuber-
culosis of the larynx. in which the le-
sions respond to the remedy with great
rapidity. The patients swallow sodium
iodide and inhale ozone, the chemical
reaction liberating iodine. The writer
says:
AT a meeting of the Medical Society of
Lund. Sweden. DR.. s. \. .Pfannenstill read
an interesting paper on a new and appar-
emily very eficacious method of treating
tuberculosis Of the larynx. The method is
a new one, as 1t utilizes a powerful disin-
fectant In statu nascendi on the affected
area in the following way: The patient is
given sodium iodide by mouth i'm ordi-
nary therapeutic quantities, and is fur
ther treated by reiterated inhalation of
ozone, suitably diluted. BY the reaction
between sodium iodide and ozone in the
diseased tissues iodine is set free and ex-
ercfses in statu nascend its strong disin-
fectant power.
DIR. Pfannenstill has observed that in
halation of ozone in suitable concentra-
tions does not inconvenience the patients
in any way. If the ozone concentration is
too high, coughing occurs. but no other
irritation Of the respiratory passages mo
catarrh) As, of course, the production
of iodine in the tissues varies with the
proportion of ozone present in them land
in the inspir alton air. it is important to
increase the quantity of ozone TO that
very point where coughing begins. This

frequenters have had the best fishing this
season they have enjoyed for several
years. Ladies and children tried their
luck with the men, and everybody caught
fish.

given at Milestone. They had landed fish
during the day, and when evening came
they were prepared to more than do jus

Mrs. Bates. Miss July Morris, Miss Julia
Brennan, Capt. Richardson, Capt. Files
and Mr.. Spencer of New York.
The party went across to the st. Mary
side OF the Patuxent and enjoyed the
feast at Milestone. Fires were started
under two immense pots. Negro natives
scalded oysters in the light of the fame
and waited on those who had their tins
ready. Ii was not until the bivalves
had disappeared that the party sailed
back to the island.

THE ozone producing apparatus MAX
ing considerable noise, IL is impossible to
apply treatment during the patients

great advantages. But an installation of
the apparatus far away from the wards

THE clinical researches OF DR.. Pfan-

tuberculous affections in question. when
given alone. Only when used together
they bring about the desired effect. Ac-
cording to his experience, only tubercu-
lous alterations are healed i'm this way.
In cases Of deeply seated tuberculous in

posts are covered by an intact epithelium,
he does not expect any improvement, as
the ozone presumably penetrates only a
very short distance into the mucous MEM
brane. But one of DIR. Pfannenstilrs cases
shows also that an operation by laying
open the affected tissue may facilitate the
cure by the combined sodium iodide and
ozone treatment.
DR. Pfannenstiifs clinical material
consists SO far of four cases OF what
seemed rather desperate ulcerating tuber-
culosis Of the larynx, hypopharynx. rhino-
pharynx and nose cavity. In all the cases
the alterations healed UP with astonish-
ing rapidity. A case Of lupus has been
successfully treated on the same princi-
pie Sodium iodide by mouth and perma-
nent fermentation with hydrogen perox-
ide). On the other hand the method has
failed in two cases of bone tuberculosis,
apparently on account of the circum-
stance that the ozone could not be
brought in sufficient contact with the ul-
cerations."
