Garlic for tuberculosis

ZION the lsOHOOl Lancet.
Ireland, which has the honor of orig
ina ting the outdoor cure for consumption
and ali tubercuar affections, now comes
forward with a direct specific for the dis
ease, a thing which physicians have de-
SPARED of finding.
Dr. Minchin of Dublin has discovered
that garlic is OF great value in treating
the dreaded white plague
He declares that garlic Is not only OF
value after other treatments have failed,
but that ii is highly efficacious in all
cases where the feet, hands and joints
have been affected, and that amputation
has, in a number of such cases, been
avoided by the simple use of garlic. Il is
also recommended that the patient eat
Garlic raw at least once a day.
As Is perhaps natural, the medical pro-
ession has question DR.. Mnchin's discov-
cry, but further Investigations seem IL
fully confirm his findings. The scientinc
1ame for the active principle of garlic Is
allyl sulpb.de, which is a powerful germi-
cide. For this reason people who are ir'
the custom of eating garlic are far less
subject to any form of tuberculosis than
those who refrain from the odorous veg
etable The garlic treatment is not de-
signed to suppant the outdoor treatment,
for the two complement each other. Gar.
tic is the specific for the disease and Nv
ing out of doors is the treatment.

DANGER THREATENS
IRRIGATED LANDS

Of irrigated lands in the west has resulted

DR.. Gauoways testimony was given

danger lies not only in the alkall in the

T|LLMAN REPLIES
TO RESOLUTION
Supports Charges of Cor
ruption in South Caro-
lima Legislature

Washington, January 25.-In a pre-
pared statement today Senator Tillman
replied to the resolution recently
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives of the South Carolina legislature
calling upon him to produce evidence
in support of his charges of corrup-
ton in the body.
He also made reference to the as
sertion he had insulted the legisla-
ture."
The senator declared he had done
nothing except write letter last Au-
gust just before the state primaries in
answer to Governor Blease in which
he charged that the general assembly
had been influenced by the railroad at
torneys.
This, he asserts, vas nero warn
ing and could not be construed as a
reflection on any one but the hold
over state senator's.
"This is not the first time l have
criticised the Legislature about rail-
road AFFAIRS said he, nor is it the
first time the state senators have crit
icised me for my utterances. 1t is not
the first time that senator Tillman has
insulted the legislature nor will it
be the last time. if he lives long
enough and it keeps on doing as it has
done. The people of South Carolina
Will retire any man they have select
ed for office when they become to be-
lieve that he is corrupt or corruptible.
At least that is my belief.
II have boosted in my lectures in
the north that there is not enough
money in Wall street 10 buy South
Carolina, and | believed it to be true.
81 still believe T. to be true, but
public morals in the state have grown
rapidly bad in the last 10 years, and
am coming to doubt whether my
boast could now be made and sus-
tanned. We Will see the temper of the
general assembly by its action in pur-
flying and protecting the primary. 1t
has the opportunity TO lift the state
out of the slough of despondescy and
disgrace in which IL now wallows."
Senator Tillman said that he would
not make official reply to the resolu-
ton unless 1t were adopted by the state
senate.
