Experiments to Show it X Can Be He-
vealed by Moving Pictures.
DR.. Henry Lehman Of Philadelphia.
inventor, chemist and physician, has
become interested in moving pictures
and now is experimenting in his lab
oratory to get series Of pictures Of
growing plant covering a period OF
seven days, which. when thrown on
the screen by the moving picture ma
chine. will show the development of
the plant from a bud until it Is full
grown. By reversing his string Of
pictures a fantastic picture Of full
grown plant shriveling into small
bud is made.
In his experiments DR.. Lehman is
trying to produce picture Of the
workings of nature too slow for the
human eve to catch. For this he is
using the pictures of a growing plant.
The other thing that DR.. Lehman is
working for is to get individual pic
lures of the workings Of nature too
rapid for the human eye to catch.
For instance, in watching an explosion
the eve gets a composite picture OF
smoke and air filled with flying debris.
With his moving picture camera. which
takes pictures at the rate Of twelve in
one second. Dr. Lehman Is able to get
the development Of the explosion from
the first little pun Of smoke until the
gases causing the trouble explode. By
running these pictures in his machine
at the usual rate Of speed the COM
posite picture that the eye sees is
shown. BY running his film slowly
through the machine each step in the
explosion. too rapid for the naked eye.

Ten Doctors
Said He Would

"In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal Of camp meeting
work. l am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that | ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its use"
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,

This proves what DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.

heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty

are avoided in a bare room of any
great size, it is a happy accident When
a few articles of furniture are intro
duced, however, they do a good deal to
help, by breaking up the sound waves.
But. if the trouble be otherwise in
durable it is always possible to get rid
of it by suitable treatment of the
walls. Hangings, if literally used,
will do far to do away with echoes.
Marble Causes Echoes.
Marble halls are VIGOROUSLY filled
with echoes The London stock e~-
change was originally lined with lath
But, later on; polished marble took
the place of the plaster. and the bro
kerS could hardly hear themselves talk
so confusing were the reverberations.
Any enclosed place may be rendered
full Of echoes by lining it throughout
with a very hard and very smooth sub
stance-such as marble, for instance.
Now, if you wish to get rid of the
echoes, you can accomplish the purpose
to some extent by introducing furni-
ture. a carpet covering the floor will
help a good deal and the hanging of
curtains much more-such as draperies
and portieres But, if you can adopt
any expedient for softening or rough
ening the walls and ceiling, you will
get rid of the trouble altogether :.
Rough Walls Best.
1t is not necessary that the walls
shall be very rough. If they are so
slightly so that a hand passing over
them will hardly notice their lack of
SmoOthness, it will make a wonderful
amount of difference in the acoustics
of the room. And much may be accom-
plished in the same direction by the
decorative treatment-the idea being
that the more you break up the surface
of walls and ceiling, the better One
reason why the chamber Of the senate
in the capitol at Washington is so
good acoustically is that its ceiling is

while there is much Incidental fret

UP to die with a large ovarian ab-
seess, which they said would kill her
with blood poisoning.
The abscess left a cavity as large as
your double fist.
The worst they said they had ever
seen.
DIR. Collins freed the nerves to the
kidney and the temperature went right
down. Then he freed the nerves TO the
ovaries so they could drain themselves
and get blood around them and 1t has

other doctors lose about two hundred
patients out of thousand.
Everybody who takes of them seems
smiling and happy and getting better,

they have surely done good work.

other enclosed place built for the pur-
poses of an auditorium ought to have
walls and ceiling of a soft material
with a rough surface. Cork, covered
with canvas and painted, is an admira-
bic echo killer. Cement, or plaster, If
painted with soft colors, is good stuff
for the purpose. 1t is surely strange
that the softness or hardness of the
paint should make any difference, but
such is the fact Felt is famous non
conductor of sound. and a thin layer Of
it spread over walls, covered with can
vas and painted, is sure death to the
most robust echo
Recent experiments have shown
that the walls behind or at the sides of
a stage should absorb sound or muffle
it. The best sound absorbent is an
open window, and it might sometimes
be practical to use openings in walls
for the purpose. But every building is
its own problem, acoustically speaking.
Superstition of Echoes.
Echoes possess picturesque inter
est by reason of the superstitions which
have been connected with them. In
earlier days their mysterious whisper
ings always excited wonder, and even
at the present time people will go long
distances to listen to a first class echo.
The echoes of the Niagara Gorge and
of the Colorado Canyon are celebrated.
One finds them all over the world. On
the river Maize, not far from Coblentz,
is an echo that makes seventeen repe-
titions at unequal intervals-some-
times seeming to approach the listen
ener, sometimes to be retreating from
him; now heard to the right. again to
the left, and so son.
Most remarkable of all, perhaps, are
the So-called harmonic" echoes, which
repeat in different tone or key the di-
rect sound a famous one of this kind
is heard in the Gap of Dunloe a lovely
and romantic spot in Killarney. Ire
land, where a phantom bugle renders
an excellent second to any simple air
played on a similar instrument.
Who Echo Was.
It will be remembered that Echo, in
the ancient mythology, was a noun
tain nymph, who for unrequited love
of beautiful youth named Narcissus,
pinned away, until only her haunting
voice was left calling softly among
the hills. Of course. hills are natural
home of echoes: but so likewise are
mines and caverns-
Among buildings, none has greater
reputation for its echoes than the Tai
Mahal at Agra A traveller who has
heard them writes: any visitor to this
most magnificent of all tombs will car
ry away with him an abiding recollec-
ton of the marvellous result which
follows when the native guide, stand
ing in the dimly lit interior. raises the
weird wailing- cry that only an Indian
knows how to utter. Up scars the
plaintive call into the darkness above,
and there, in the vast space OF the
great dome, it echoes backwards and
forwards in countless melodious varia-
tons. fainter and faster, until it
seems as the voices of a choir or angels
holding sweet converse in another
world

Why Doctor D. G.. Williams,
Chicago Eminent Medical
Doctor, Took up the Study
of Osteopathy.

Before | studied medicine | was re-
porter for the Chicago Times-H Herald.
After | had practiced medicine for
several years we began to hear of the
wonderful cures that DIR. A. T. Still was
making out at kirksyille, Mo. We be
ieved it was some kind of hypnotism or
faith cures.
As | had been one of their reporters
and was also a practitioner of medicine.
| was asked to go over TO Kirksville and
show up what a fraud this Dr. Still
was. | was as honest in it as | ever
was in any undertaking Of my life. |
believed him to be one of the slickest
of frauds. But l received my first jar
the morning / arrived.
| was going over TO the infirnary and
who should | meet but an old patient of
mine, manufacturer of Chicago, who
for two years had been an invalid with
rheumatism. His Limos all drawn up
to his body, and he suffered intense pain
most of the time. He could not rest in
a. bed but slept with his knees on a pill
low and body leaning against chair
As he walked up to me that morning.
looking robust and walking without even
a limp, my enthusiasm over the thought
that | would annihilate this Osteopathy
began to wilt and wabble at the knees.
I knew he was hard headed business
man and that no one could work on his
credulity.
He said he had been there for six
months. and after he had been there for
a month he felt so sore and weak that
he was utterly discouraged, but others
who had been there longer told him it
was the same with them after they had
taken for short time they felt worse,
but it was only nature renovating his
system and that he had found this to be
true and that a great many failed to
take long enough. But he was now en-
tirely cured and was intending to 90
home soon. He cited me TO so many
other patients who were suffering with
rheumatism, until | began to think it
was for rheumatism only. For it surely
is success in that line, for | must have
met a hundred cases and it was the
same story from them all.
When [ visited the institutions I met
an old friend of mine, Mrs. Foraker,
wife of Gov. Foraker of Ohio. She had
been there for some time with her son,
who suffered with heart trouble. She
said he had almost entirely recovered.
But what interested her most in OsteO-
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-09-24

| pathy was its efficacy in curing ali
kinds OF female troubles.
! She said that as she was a friend of
1 DR.. Alice Patterson. the lady physician
there at the time, she had watched sew
eral hundred cases and their ability to
relieve and cure all manner of female
diseases was to her the most astonish-
ing and gratifying of any experience of
! her life. She pointed out to me among
the great stream that is constant
ly going and coming there any
number of ladies, and told me of
their various troubles and informed me
of some of them that were brought on
stretchers and now were the picture of
health She also pointed out many who
had suffered from appendicitis, and that
in every instance they had been cured
and that there had never been a surgi-
cal operation for any female troubles
nor for appendicitis since she had been
there; but that all these various suffer
ers had been cured by getting the blood
, to circulate in the different parts by
freeing the nerves at the spine so it
would hold up the different organs so
they could drain themselves and be sup
u.
L felt my prejudices begin to ebb and
flow
l next met some asthmatic patients
Now If there is any people on earth that
make a medical practitioner feel utterly
helpless it IS for an asthmatic to call on
him for help.
Those who had been cured by Osteo-
pathy, and there were scores of them,
claimed their ribs had been held in NAL
positions because of the rheumatic con-
diticns of their spines and it did not al
low their ribs to rise and fall in respi-
ration. q
This seemed reasonable: at least thew
were cured and that was more than we
could do.
There was all kinds and stages of kid
ney troubles, ranging from Bright's dis
ease down to lumbago. They simply freed
the nerves to the kidneys and any or
gan generating stagnant blood and fore
ed 1t out of the system, and their re-
covery was a foregone conclusion.
In all kinds of indigestion, liver. stOm-
ach and intestinal troubles it was the
same way
And as / looked at that seething mass
OF humanity that was pouring in there

relief from their various troubles-for

there-and realized that the principles

went home and fixed up my business
and took course in Osteopathy. which
was the best decision of my life, for it
has enabled me to be of more service to
humanity in each year than I could
have been in a life time.
