Let us cite a typical case-that Of Nj
R. F. Nitscke, of 1916 Spaight street
Madison, Wis. There had been eight
physicians on this case and it got so eN-
IRENE that he finally had one of the last
symptoms; namely, failing eyesight. In
January 1907, the doctors admitted that
nothing further could be done, and they
sent him to Eureka Springs, Arkansas
He continued to get worse, the dropS[
flnally reaching the stomach, heart and
lungs. He stated that at one time the
tests showed albumen as high as rs per
cent.
He learned of Fulton's Renal Com

NEW YORK, Sept 9.-The
v worlds series of 1912 is one
likely to be remembered as
long as the game endures. Not
only will it bring together, in the
respective major league champions.
an unusually well matched pair of
contestants. but it will also fur
nish a stake of such gigantic pro-
portions as to bring out the very
last ounce of fight.
A month is left Of the major
league schedule. Much may hap
pen in that time In neither league,
so far, has the pennant been won
to an absolute certainty. Yet the
New York Giants and the Boston
Red SoX appear to have such stran-
gle holds on the laurels that, for
the sake of argument, We'll elimi-
nate the rest Of the fields Unless
some miracle happens, the big an
nual poW-wow Of the clans will be
staged jointly in this city and in
. the City of Culture.
For every one at all concerned
in the national pastime, a better
pOSt-scason attraction could not
be arranged. In the matter of pure
ability. II is doubtful if two better
matched rivals ever faced each 9TH
er. These prospective chalIengers
for a worlds title represent the
two greatest baseball cities of the
country. New York will undoubt-
eddy be the popular favorite over

go back to anything like the game
under the rules before they practi-
cally changed, as there are too
many other hirdrances in the way
of rules to make the 1904 game
practicable, but we have taken a
step backward and are not in quite
as good a position to make show
ing against Harvard as we were
before the downs were increased
from three TO four.
81 do not know how to comment
on the Harvard game. We have
made our good showing against
teams outside Of the South largely
on account of the diversified and
rapid fire attack and also on ac-
count of the most splendid deter
mined spirit when on the defense.
In other words, we have never
failed to gain ground rapidly dur
ing certain periods OF the game
and have then been able to hold
our own upon the defense"
VANDERBILT enthusiasts need
not be particularly worried
over the prospects. 1t is quite
probable that the Commodores will
not be quite as strong this year as
they were last. But they will un-
doubtedly be strong enough to up
hold the honors Of the South in
that Harvard game. And they will
be certain to show Atlanta some
real football when they tackle the
Red and Black at Ponce DeLeon
park October 10.
They will do it because Wander
bilt naturally draws a lot of the
best sort of football material But
more particularly they will do it
because Of McGugin,
Dan Is the Wizard of the Pigskin
game. He has yet TO score his first
failure-and he's been with us in
the South since 1904. Just how he
does it nobody really knows. But
he does do it, year after year. And
he has put the South on the foot
ball map.
