STONE IN KIDNEY

An interesting case was that of Mr..
II. L. McDuffee, member OF the firm
of II. C. DeWolfe & Co. OF the Crock
er Building, San Francisco.
The case was puzzling. There was
pain in The kidney with showing of
blood. Examination by seven physic-
clans proved that the blood was from
the kidneys. and 1t was the opinion
of all that there was a stone cutting
the kidneys. as the least exercise
caused a showing of blood.
Four X-Ray pictures were taken,
three of them showing stone half
an inch In diameter. To be certain
that it was stone taat cast the
shadow. a similar stone about the
same size taken from patient was
put under him for comparison-both
stones showing on the plate.
An operation was about decided up
on when Fulton's Renal Compound
was recommended to Mr.. McDuffee.
He feared the knife and gave il n
trial.
Within ten weeks the blood and
pain had ceased and in six months he
considered himself well.
We also nave three-page letter
from an old school physician ,ectur-
er In one of the San Francisco Medi'
cal colleges, covering similar case
OF stone In the kidney An operation
seemed inevitable.
lie prescribed Fulton's Renal Com
pound upon the theory that as II was
getting results In Nephrltis Il ought
TO have some effect to reduce the In
llammatlon and excessive uric acid
that attends Calculus. lie was so
surprised to get n complete recovery
that ne thought a record ought to be
made OF II and gave us the letter
above referred to.
Fulton's Renal Compound seems "a
have about the same percentage oil
efficiency in stone in the kidney that
IL has shown In Brights Disease.

sue of the Saturday Evening Post is
an article by b. F. Yoakum, one of
the most prominent railroad officials

light on the subject though written
from the railroad point of view. Mr..
Yoakum gives some figures as to the
consumption of food products in New

the people of the city pay yearly for
eggs $29, 100000, and of this amount
the farmers got $1323S,00O For milk
the city paid $4S,SSO,OOO and the far
mers got $22,912,000. For potatoes
the city paid $6O,OOO,0OO and the far
mers got $S,437OOO. These figures
would indicate that it is the transpor.

In choosing members of the Legis-

Der that constitutional amendments
of great Importance are to be acted
upon and elect their best men ire

Montpelier Journal.
Never before unless 1t was back in
war times were there so many impor-
tant matters to come before the Yer
mont legislature as this year. The
constitutional amendments are only
one OF several important items. Among
them are: the proposed state road
plan. to prevent the Entertainments
OF corporations on the public service
commission; to secure a workmen's
compensation act or some other plan
to care for the victims OF Industrial
accidents; to develop the agricultural
resources OF the state and to estab-
lish one or more agricultural
training schools; to revise and moder-
nize the rules and procedure of the
Legislature so that all the members
may take part In the work instead Of
putting all the important bills In the
hands Of few men; to secure uni
form and just system of weights and
measures; to provide uniform sys-
TEN of town accounting; to either
abolish municipal courts or provide
that they shall do the business to
earn what they cost; to compel the
fish and game department to use the
money II now receives to supply fin.

Resolved by the state board cf

that this board recognize the i'm
paratiYe demand for a thorough
antemortem and postmortem eX-
animation OF animals killed for use
as food and for improved sanitary
conditions in slaughter houses and

That the legislative bodies in the
several cities and counties of the
state be most urgently asked to
provide for ana maintain an in
spection of such food products in
substantially the manner and as
nearly as possible to the same de-
gree that such inspection is car
ried on by the federal govern

That the attention of all local
officials be directed TO the provi-
sions of thepure food act of March
II, 1907, f6rbidding the sale of
meat from a diseased animal. and
o the food sanitation act of March
9. 1909 and that such officials be
2rged rigidly TO enforce these pro-
visions of the law.
ae board wants adequate city ordi-
a ess and county provisions which
wiG give the board power to invoke

The board also decided to reorganize
its state hygienic laboratory system.
In the past there has been one cen
trail laboratory, which has been To-
Gated in Berkeley. One year ago a sub
station was opened in Los Angeles, and
the work done there has relieved the
central station Of a great deal of heavy
work and the reselts have been more
than satisfactory
1t is now proposed to at once install
a substatiOn in Fresno, this branch to
have charge of all examinations in
