. EHRLICH's SEARCH FOR cURE-ALL

The panacea, or drug that will cure
all diseases, was the dream OF the
ancient student of medicine. It has
not yet been found, nor Is it likely to
be; yet there Is at least one great
medical authority who expects to dis
cover 1t for one particular class Of
diseases-namely. those caused by
bacterial infection. There Is nothing
illogical in the idea Of substance
that is fatal to all bacterial organ
isms. Indeed, such substances are al:
ready known, but unfortunately those,
with which most people are familiar
will kill the patient as well. In an
address before the recent information

Prof. Paul Ehrlich, famous as the dis,

hope Of obtaining what he calls 2
complete radical cure Of all infec-

We also have three from the north.
the same trains that now arrive here at
l.l9 p. m. and 8 % y. m. and an addi-
tionaI train which leaves Harrington,
Del. at sol a. m, and arrives at Snow
Hill at 1876 a. m. This train will be
Of great convenience to the people Of
our county seat. enabling them to have
from 1885 to = 3 in Snow Hill to trans
act their business and return home the
same day. The train which leaves Har-
rington at sol a. m. and arrives in Snow
Hill at 10 81 is strictly local train and
has no northern connections. Now the
only thing that is apparently needed is TO
connect this train with train leaving
Philadelphia. and we have no doubt this
will come in time.

that for perishable freight This train

represented by Messrs. George NJ. Up

jurisdiction in this case. for il is up TO
the Senate Of Maryland. The Senate
is made BY the State Constitution the
Judge of elections when its members
are contested. The statute must be
strictly construed. A writ of man
damus must be issued as prayed if at
all. and it will never be ordered when il
would be nugatory when issued. Man

is an adequate remedy at law In this
case the remedy of the petitioner is be-
fore the Senate of Maryland. The duty
