Of land just east of what is locally
known as THE Point of Rocks on
the Woodford road and on which, he
announced, he proposed to build a
sanitorlum and school for the study
Of the science of diaduction.
On a portion Of the land DR..
Sanche constructed a cluster of little
buildings and a structure resembling
pavilion and named the locality
Camp Aragon." While here Or.
Sanche became involved in a pro
tracted law suit over the title TO
lands he had bought in Woodford.
Eventually he abandoned Camp Ara

has since purchased large tract OF
land for similar purpose in Duchess
county. New York

he purchased an oxydonor and that
the apparatus was given a thorough
examination in the institute of indus
trial research at Washington under
his personal supervision. In brief,
the examination disclosed that the
oxydonor consisted of a plated brass
tube filled with plaster of paris 70
which is fastened a covered wire
cord On the other end of the wi-e
cord is a garter clasp to 80 around
the ankle. The method of treatment
prescribed is to immerse the metal
tube in Il receptacle containing water
and fasten the garter clasp to the
ankle.

Dr. Wiley also superintendent an
analysis OF the "Hydrotonic" which
was on sale here in Bennington du

Dr. Wiley estimates that the contents
Of each bottle cost the manufactu -er

realize a profit OF 50 cents on each
sale. a fairly good margin.
