TUBERCULOSIS DRUGS ARE
ALL FAKES, SAYS EXPERT,

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Sir-The recent exposure in your
paper of a medical institute, the head
of which is said to have claimed that
he could cure tuberculosis in six weeks,
called my attention to the fact that
there were over $4,000, 900 spent last
year by the people Of the United States
In an attempt to find a cure for tuber-
cuIosis. For this vast sun victims have
received nothing in return, but are
often permanently injured, and in the
majority OF cases cheated out of a
chance for a real cure. Most of this
money Is paid by those who can least
afford 1t.
A recent statement in the press
brought TO my attention a number OF
our patients who have been taking diff
ferent patent medicines or were treated
by different institutes in this city. Many
Of them thanked me for a kindly word
of warning.
In an investigation conducted by the
national association several hundred So
called cures for tuberculosis have been
exposed, and It was found hat more
than 50. 200. 900 a year Is being spent in
soliciting the patronage of the public.
On examination it has been found that
the great majority of these cures on
tain harmful and ,habit-forming drugs,
such as morphine. opium and chloro-
form, none Of which will cure tuber-

culosis. The only cure for this disease
that has ever been discovered is the
combination of fresh air, rest and
wholesome food. All cures that attempt
to destroy tubercle bacillus without
these. OF to stop the progress of the
disease in some mysterious way, are
branded as frauds and impositions.
Three classes of Tcures" are distin-
guished by the National Association.
In the first class are included devices
and drugs which a be bought for any
sum ranging from ten cents to FIVE dol
lars at a drug store. The United States
department OF agriculture has just is
sued a bulletin in which some of the
most used of these drugs and remedies
are analysed and condemned. The sec
ond class of cures includes the 'insti-
tutes," professors or companies of
doctors who, for a consideration,
guarantee to cure tuberculosis by some
secret method of which they are the
sole proprietors. There are nearly one
hundred and fifty of these institute
frauds in the United States, cheating
the people out of millions of dollars an
nually. =
In the third class of cures are
placed a NUMBER or home-maue reme-
dies, which either through ignorance or
superstition have been advanced as
treatments for tuberculosis. Some of
these are. onions. lemons. rattlesnake
poison. coal dust. lime dust, pigs blood.
dog oil, milk "strippings" and even alco-
hol. These will not cure tuberculosis,
declares the National Association, No
drug, gas or other material has yet been
discovered, which. when eaten. inhaled
or injected into the body, will kill the
germ of tuberculosis. Fresh air, which
contains more oxygen than any sub
stance known, will destroy the germs Of
tuberculosis. If it is breathed continu-
ously for a long enough period, and II
rest and wholesome food are employed
at the same time to build up the body.
Very truly yours,
ERNEST d. EASToN,
Executive Secretary.

70 deficit of about $500 carried over
from 1909. This amount. together with
the running expenses to May l., 1910.
was paid with money contributed by
officers of the league.
''The note for SO, 900, included in the
statement, has been Endorsed by the
president and the treasurer of the
league. 1t is expected that this money
will be met by further contributions
to be received from friends of the
league.
Another statement will be issued
after the primaries showing additional
contributions received and further ex-
penses incurred for the remainder OF
the campaign.
"The statement shows the total con-
tributions to the campaign fund since
May l, 1910, to be $4,60S.f 70. There is no
contribution larger h $500 and none
from any corporation. The expendi-

100000 FIRE DAMAGE
AT RUBBERSET PLANT.

Despite the fire n the Rubberset
brush plant of the Rubber and Cellu-
loid Harness Trimming Company, of s.
Ferry street, which yesterday after
noon partially destroyed the interior
of the brush department and caused
damage to the amount OF $100, 900. Edwin
G. Robertson, treasurer of the COM
pany, said today that most of the en-
pIoyees will be back to work In two
or three days.
Eyewitness of the fire say hat 1t
was as spectacular as any seen in
Newark for a long 'ime and that at
least a dozen dwellings, besides the
plant of the Union American Cigar
Accompany in Market street, we're threat
ened with destruction.
Several men were repairing an auto
mobile belonging to one of the officials
of the company when the fire broke
out.
Three Explosions Heard.
At about 2 o'clock they heard a ter
rife explosion coming from below. Be
fore they could recover from their
fright they heard two others and saw
flames issuing from the elevator shaft,
which Is next the stairway. Seeing
the stairway on fire the men jumped
out of the windows, shouting Fire"
When Battalion Chief Morgan arrived
he sem In two more alarms, the Sec
ond bringing chief Ashley, who took
charge of the fire.
The departments affected by the fire
are: The brush department, the shaw
ing cream department, stock ROOM,
converting room n machine shop.
The origin of the fire is unkonwn. Mr..
Robertson said 1t was either defective
insulation or spontaneous combustion.
The damage to the Union American
Cigar Company is slight, and the home
of Mrs. Mary Littleield and her sister,
Miss Anna Swan, at 20 Union street.
wassfamaged by water. The fronts of
several houses across the street from
this dwelling were blistered by the heat.
Mrs Littleteld, in speaking of the ex-
element yesterday afternoon, said she
know something like 1t would happen

terday were smoking" she said. "and
they had no business to do SO, with all
these combustibles in the building.
You see, the flrse started in the pace
were celluloid, acids and alcohol Is
stored, and these men have no right to
smoke there and are forbidden to do so
by the company"
An EVENING STAR reporter, who
was on the scene of the fire this morn
ing could not get much information
from the employees, who referred him
to the treasurer. When asked If they
had been smoking, they replied in the
negative and refused to have anything
further to say.

verse'-in the present campaign. and
that other aforetime leaders in the
New Idea ranks are not now actively
or inactively leading has had a ten
dency to increase the confidence OF Mr..
Dalrymple and his organization.
Consequently it was not surprising
that confidence and serenity were the
Illuminating features of County Re-
publican Chairman Dalrymple's coun-
tenance today when he said that he
had nothing of Importance to d to his
statement in the Morning Star h a the
organization would carry the primaries
by a wider margin than it did last year.
1--WE are waiting for the vote of the
people tomorrow" he added, land am
quite sure that we will be content to
abide by the result"
People DO Own thinking.
To Mr.. Dalrymple and other Repub-
leans CT tho county committee gen.
orally it had seemed TO be better all
through the preliminary campaign to
let the people do their own thinking,
without urgency o. argument or going
into controversies of any kind. They
knew, Mr.. Dalry1nple thought, the po-
l.ticaI conditions n situation without
either suggestion or advice as to either,
or both. The time had gone by when
the voters needed to be told where their
practical interests lie, or how to vote
to take care of them, and they knew
equally as well what political party or
organization would be the most likely
to conserve those interests. 1t was for
this reason that the members of the
Republican County Committee, himself
included, had decided not to enter into
political discussions of any kind be-
fore the primaries were held, and upon
this decision they were awaiting the
outcome of tomorrow.
With two score or more of people,
male and female, waiting in his office
and about the corridors of the City
Hall for interviews on public business,
Democratic County Chairman Nugent
said that he hadn't a moment to spare
for the discussion of politics. There
wasn't anything to "a anyway from
the Democratic point of view except
that harmony prevailed within the
party throughout the city. county and
State, and that the outlook for Demo-
cratic victory all over New Jersey was
growing more and more encourag ing
day by day. The Republicans were
doing all the scrapping and the eDmo-
Gratis, having no domestic troubles to
discuss or internal discussions to heal,
were the interested spectators of the
~contending factions.

The South Carolina Legislature is
now on the homestretch and but few
more days remain of the 40-day ses'
sion.
An adjournment was taken on Sat
urday until yesterday at noon in order
that the members might be at their
homes on the first Monday.
The members from Lexington have
been in regular attendance upon the
sessions, and have gotten in some
right good work.
Perhaps one Of the most important
matters is the fixing CT the comm dta-
ton road tax ut So. This is very I'M
portant to our people, and in Our opin-
ion, is wise step on the part of our
representatives. The idea is to have
everybody pay the So tax in lieu OF
working the roads.

bill should become law, 1t would
mean saving of hundreds of dollars
