How many votes will it take to
VIM is a question frequently asked
by candidates in The Georgian and
American pony contest.
The answer is that it will take as
many as the candidates can rake and
scrape together by July 81. Certainly
il will take a few more than your
nearest competitor has, and your
nearest competitor is going to get
just as many as he possibly can, and
probably he is as active and as ener-
getiC and has as many friends az
you.
Subscriptions secured now are
worth so much more than they will
be in a few days, when the bonus Of

waste no time
Here is a suggestion from con-
testant who is making a splendid
showing:
Don't stop when evening comes

5-YEAR SECRECY

INGREDIENT
"Contratoxin" Is Name of New
Alleged Remedy for Consump-
tion-Discoverer Modest.

LONDON, June 24-Dr. Frederick
Mehnarto, of Heidelberg, who is now
residing in London. announces in the
latest issue Of the Lancet, the par
ticUlars of a new alleged consump-
ton cure discovered by him and call
ed "contratoxin."
Two hundred patients are now ap-
parently cured, he asserts, after hav-
ing been treated with this injection
at the Margaret Street and Mount
Vernon hospitals. All of the patients
were pledged to secrecy before the
experimenting began.
The doctors at the Margaret Street
Hospital who have been applying the
treatment, positively refuse to give
DO not consider that the treatment
has yet had a fair trial.
DR.. Mehnarto writes:
"Contratoxin consists Of the blood
plasma of various animals mixed in
proportions calculated to produce a
lytic action on various micro organ
isms without reducing zysis of the
human red Corpuscles. In the pro-
duCtion of contTatoxin advantage is
taken of the fact that some reptilian
plasmas act as haemoiytic agents,
while others act as coagutant agents.
The practical value Of this fact is
that when horses or Sleeps blood
Is sensitized by a combination of both
types of reptihan plasma the red
corpuscles are no longer capable of
being dissolved by distilled water and
at the same time the blood becomes
powerfully baCteriOlVtic."
