WINS FIGHT FOR
LIFE AGAINST
MERCURY
Doctor. on Brink Of Death a Week,
Describes Battle With
Poison.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-After a week =
hattie to overcome the effects of q
loss OF bichloride of mercury, which
he took in sufficient quantity to kill
en- men, DIR. Emanuel Kargau, a dem
tist. has recovered sufficiently to so to
nj, Office. DR.. Kargau wrote the fol-
owing vivid account Of the impress
mons he received while the question
~ his recovery still was in doubt:
No one can realize what life
means until he has been placed in
the position in which l found my
self. facing imminent death and
not knowing what the next day
might bring.
4 horrible death by degrees,
usralysis of the nerve centers
controlling the vital organs of the
BODY, the nerves and the muscles;
20 feel 1t creeping on slowly, grad
ually crushing out every vital
junction, the brain alone remain
uK clear to the end, percetving
and feeling 1t all.
Could anything be more horri-
ole in prospect?
Every incident Of my life
passed in review and il seemed
as though was living my whole
i've over again in the brief space
Of few hours.
Even the sorrows and disap
continents of the past were
sweet memories which l cherish
I'd like Jewels, one by one.
Life never seemed so dear, 80
rich in possibilities. as when l
stood face to face with Death.
One can then fully realize the
value Of the breath of God which
makes human life divine. Every
thing, even adversely, seems
good; cen the enemies, the evils,
encountered in life.
The lesson OF my miraculous
escape Is one which l would like
TO preach to the whole world, to
make men pause a moment in
their wild scramble for wealth
and honor and ponder deeply
what it all means.
A little thinking such as I have
done IN the past week would make
people truly appreciate the pre-
cious gift of life which our Maker
has given to US.
During the time I was III my
thoughts dwelt constantly on the
beautiful things In life. The
green trees, the beautiful flowers,
the lovely sunshine, the soft
oreezes of summer paraded be-
fore my mental vision over and
over agian-and then came the
awful questions:
viii these things exist again
for me?
Or are they TO be shut off from
me forever?
Shall ! live or dies
There is an old adage which
Avs. Live az though you might
i've to be a hundred years old,
and yete may die tomorrow"
This La now my philosophy.

For years we have been dosing
ourselves to cure cold troubles de-
spite the fact that vapor treatments
are quicker and do not disturb the
stomach. The trouble has been that
the old methods of administering
these vapors such as vapor lamps,
