Physicians in France and England
are discussing with keen interest. the
report that Douglas L. v. Browne,
formerly an American mining engineer
now. q resident, Of Paris. has invented
and constructed. with the sid Of lum.
mum. an electric cell which, Immersed
in liquid, becomes possessed: OF won.
derful powers. Here are some Of the
| things claimed for Mi. Brownies In
vention: ::
It reduces the acidfty in milk, 50.
that it is possible for this liquid. to. be
sterilized and the infant mortality Of
a nation lessened. -.
1t cleanses acrid wine, leaving 1t 1T
for drinking purposes, and renders i'm
pure grape juice sweet, and preserves

It softens the hard = water which

When wool is placed under the cleo
trio treatment the grease is practically
removed.
In sterilising milk. water. liquors
and other liquids. the bacteria are
killed off.
It destroys typhoid bacteria and tu-
berculosis bacilli.
It will purify water 80 tina fish may
live in 1t. thus opening the way to
systematic cleansing Of rivers and har-
bors.
It has a medicinal effect Of wonder.
diseases Of the intestinal organs are
treated.
Ernest Runts. an architect Of high
standing in London, writes Of MI.
Brownies electric process Of sterilizs-
ton and publication.
THE possibilities Of this invention I
felt were SO enormous" he wrote.
Leo Taylor to investigate the matter.
and although the whole Of the inves-
l'tigations arc not yet complete, those
that are confirm the claims that have
already been reported by M. Roussel
doctor Of the Paris %university and
expert to the Paris courts.)"
Upon receiving this letter the Lon.
don newspaper dispatched a corre-
s%pondent to Paris. This correspond
ent spent many hours in MT. Brownies
laboratory watching the, experiments.
He was accompanied by Mr.. Runtz,
the architect, and DR.. Leo Taylor, re-
ferred to in MI. Runtz's letter. Fol-
respondent wrote, in part, to the Elk
press:

and obvious what to the lay mind Il
b~ewildering and miraculous.

THE experiments with milk havl
