WINS FIGHT FOR

MERCURY
Doctor, on Brink of Death a Week,
Describes Battle With
Poison.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-After q week 9
nattle to overcome the effects of a
.5ose of bichloride of mercury which
he took in sufficient quantity to kill
rem men, DR.. Emanuel Kargau, a den
tist. has recovered sufficiently to go ia
his office. DR.. Kargau wrote the fol-
owing vivid account Of the impress
siors he received while the question
Of 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
aot knowing what the next day
might bring.
A horrible death by degrees,
paralysis of the nerve centers
eontrolling the vital organs of the
body, the nerves and the muscles:
o feel it creeping on slowly, grad
ually crushing out every vital
junction, the brain alone remain
ing clear to the end, perceiving
and feeling it all.

value of the breath Of God which
makes human life divine. Every

The lesson of my miraculous
escape is one which | would like
to preach to the whole world, to
make men pause moment in
their wild scramble for wealth

what it all means.
A little thinking such as | have

awful questions:
Will these things exist again

Or are they to be shut off from

There is an old adage which
