in saving the woman's life. He
wanted her removed to the hospital,
but she refused to go. The doctor
demonstrated and said that he did
not care to spend the night there
as his time was too valuable. The
woman's lover asked the doctor how
much his time was worth and when
the physician said $50 an hour,
thinking thereby to force the woman
to go to the hospital, the lover said,
Very well, here is six hours of your
time" and with that a roll OF bills
amounting to $50 was handed over.
The doctor remained until 6 o'clock
this morning by which time the wo-
man was well out of danger. The
affair was not reported to the po-
lice, neither would the physician di-
vulge the woman's name.

GROCER is HIT BY
TRAIN AND KILLED
p. A. Carlson Run Down by q
Burlington Passenger in
Moline.
DIES AT THE HOSPITAL
Supposition Is That the Victim Was
Confused by Two Passing
Rock Island Freights.

p. A. Carlson, who conducted a
grocery store at lit Third avenue,
Moline, while on his way to deliver
an order of goods, was run down
by a Burlington passenger train at
Second street at 1890 this morning
and died Of his Injuries shortly af-
ter reaching the city hospital, where
he was hurried in the police depart
ment ambulance.
The train was the Beardstown To-
cal and was coming into Rock Is
land. Conductor James B. Stanton
was in charge Gus Brown was the
only witness. He stated that just
before Carlson, who was on foot, was
hit that two Rock Island freight
trains passed the crossing going in
opposite directions. The supposition
is that Carlson was confused by the
Rock Island freights and did not no
tice the Burlington passenger until
it was upon him. Carlson's body was
badly crushed.
LEAVES WIDOW AND SON.
Carlson was 62 years old. He is
survived by his widow and a son. A
few months ago the family removed
to Moline from Davenport. Coroner

to be held tomorrow morning at 8
O'Clock. The members of the Bur
lington train crew have been sum-
moned as witnesses.

HEART STIMULANT Is
FOUND IN TOAD'S HEAD.
Experimenters Of Johns Hopkins Lab
oratery Call II Bufasin.

Chinese physicians are upheld in
their contention for centuries that
there is a medicinal property In the
skin of toads. Elaborate experiments
made at Johns Hopkins university
have resulted In the introduction Of a
new heart stimulant, bufagin, which Is
derived from the poisonous secretion
from the creatures parotid glands, just
below the ears.
BY this token it is also shown that
the legend thaS the envenomed toad
may carry a precious jewel in his head
is figuratiyely true, for the agent is
said to be more efficacious than digi
tails in It's action.
Details of the development Of the
new remedy are set forth in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton by Drs. John ]. Abel and David L
Macht Of Baltimore.
The studies on which the announce
ment is based began in the autumn of
1910, and the discovery might be term
ed accidental, for at that time the
physicians were looking into the eff
fects of certain dyestuffs derived from
coal tar by administering small guam
titles of the substances to a tropical
toad obtained in Jamaica, known as
Bufo aqua. The species is spoken Of
as as bullfrog by the natives Of ia
maica, but this popular designation is
incorrect The administration Of the
chemicals angered the toads, and the
handling they received enraged them
all the more. 1t was observed that in
their rage a milk secretion exuded
from the parotid glands. Some Of IL
was scraped OF with a knife, and i'm
mediately the blade was covered with
a blush green discOloration.
A few tests soon convinced the ex-
perimenters that they were dealing
with a powerful agent. The tradition
of the Chinese, which was followed by
the apethecaries and leeches of the
middle ages, was called to mind, and
the experiments have now definitely
established that there was good
ground for the belief OF the orientals
that the skin Of the toad had medic
inal properties.
Drs. Abel and Macht extracted the
contents Of the glands from sixty
toads, catching the secretions az they
spurted in q large bowl. q process
which they call milking"
THE marked action OF bufagin on
the heart" continue the authors of the
paper, 'its vaso-constrictor acton and
its powerfully stimulating action on
the cardio-inhibitery center compel us
to classify this drug with the most
effective members OF the digitalis Sc
