No Danger From Telephones

Nearly two years ago the Postmaster
General at London became interested
in the reports that tuberculosis could
be communicated by the use of the
telephones, particularly those for pub
lie use. In order to confirm or refute
such statement he arranged that a
number of them be selected from var
ious places and that they be de ivered
to well known bacteriologist for ex-
animation Special care was taken to
obtain instruments that were without
the possibility of having been disinfect-
ed or even cleansed, and the same care
was taken to see that they reached the
testing laboratory in the exact condition
in which they were removed from pub
lie use. They were taken from post
offices, railway depots, meat markets
and other places frequented by the
public.
The laboratory used is that of St.
Georges Hospital Medical School, Hyde
Park Corner, S. W., and the work was
done in the Clinical Investigation De-
partment under the supervision of DR..
H. R. D. Spitta, Superintendent.
Washings were made of the mouth
pieces and the whole contents were
then injected in guinea pigs. The ami
mails were kept in separate cages under
supervision and killed few weeks
later. Exhaustive examinations prov
ed that they were absolutely healthy.
From the twenty-one telephones used
in the test no tubericle bacilli were
found.
From a subsequent series of tests
ending February 16 of the present
year, and made with instruments
used wholly by consumptive patients,
the same results were obtained. The
tests were made at the Frimley Sani-
tarium with instruments installed at the
bedside of phthisical patients under
going treatment. They were in use bv
the patients at regular periods for a
number of days just prior to the test.
Tests were also made by the Amerl-
can Government, and like proofs re-
suited.
From all of these impartial and
exhaustive experiments it has been
proved beyond question that not the
slightest danger of communication of
the disease is possible through the med
ium of the telephone.

London.-Two hundred years ago.
to be more exact, In August, 1712-
Jones Hanway was born in PORTSMOUTH,.
England.
In the encyclopedias he Is classed as
a philanthropist and traveller, and he
was both of these. Having been APP
prenticed to a merchant in Lisbon, he
became interested in trade with the
east and journeyed through Persia, en-
during many hardships. after which
he spent five years in st. Petersburg.
In the way of philanthropy he was &C
tive in the help of foundlings, fallen
women, the poor and prisoners. But
the one thing he did that makes his
fame everlasting was to introduce the
use OF the umbrella to England and
Europe generally.
The umbrella for centuries untold
had been used In one form or another
by the people OF the far east, and Han
way in his travels became a warm ad-
vocate of that shelter from the rain
and the sun. After he had retired
from business to London he had made
for himself an umbrella not differing
materially from those of today. Ono
rainy day, when those who were 50
unfortunate as to be compelled to go
out in the streets, were hurrying mis-
erably along bedraggled and dripping,
out stepped Jonas Hanway. opened his
contraption, and strolled leisurely
along Fleet street. dry as a bone and

came out to make fun of Jonas and
his umbrella.
The Britisher was conservative by
nature, then as now, and this especial
innovation did not please him. For
centuries he had got wet when II
rained, and why should he now change
and keep dry? So Jonas retired to
his house somewhat discounted. But
he was persistent, so on the next
rainy day he reappeared with his um-
brella. Once more the jeers and

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Tho @change of life is a most
critical period In a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
In the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds ND
the weakened nervous system.
It has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

one of these excursions. Week after
week, month after month, and year

the streets of London town. AS time
went on the people grew accustomed
to seeing the eccentric Jonas and his
umbrella, but 1t was fully thirty years
before any considerable number of
them could bring themselves to follow
his example.

essential part Of his English educa-

Of today. with silk covering and handle

the latter probably does not shed the

former, and IL Jonas had not been so
persistent we might still be without
,, the blessed umbrella.
SO all honor to the memory of
Jonas Hanway, English traveller and
philanthropist. whose bicentenary has
been forcibly brought to the notice of
the people OF his native land by rains
and floods that have made the sum-
mer the worst on record in the tight
little isle.
