Lime and tuberculosis

DR.. Roberts Dartholow, former pro-
fesSor In Jefferson Medical College.
Philadelphia, and widely famed as q
medical writer, says In the eighth
edition of his authoritative Materfa
Medics (1s9o) on pages 215 and 218i
"Clinical experience has shown that
1t (referrtnE to a calcium salt) pos
sesses the ill-dehned property known
as Alternative, removes certain toxic
or morbihc materials, and secures
their secretion BY the organ. Of elm
which has lately been published In
respect to its curative powers In con-
sumption IL certainly very striking"
OF course, he does not refer to tes-
tinony published regarding results OBJ
tanned throughout the use Of Eckman's
Alternative, since the medical profession
makes II a rule never publicly to recon-
mend proprietary remedies. However,
there Is q large accumulation of such
testimony, covering many cases of con-
sumption and allied throat and bron-
chial affections, which seem to have
yielded completely to this remedy.
Doubtless this success Is due largely
to the fact that in Eckman's Alternative
calcium (lime) salt Is so combined
with other valuable ingredients as to
be easily assimilated by the average
person.

Pope Not Silent on War,
Says British Cardinal

LONDON, June 2.-Cardinal Bourne,
preaching at the Westminster Cathed-
raj, condemned as unmerited the critic
isms on what Is alleged to be the
silence Of Pope Benedict on the war.
Cardinal Bourne cited the November
oncyclical and the address to the coll
lege Of cardinals In January. showing
that the head Of the church has not
been silent. Moreover. the cardinal
declared. the Pope is excluded from
the deliberations Of the nations at The
Hague by politicians. and 10 thus de-
prived of all action In the matter.
He added that anything in the nature
of judicial process In the present
case Is entirely out of the question.
The principal person to be concerned
in such a process Is recognized as
German Lutheran, who does not recog-
nize the authority of the Holy See and
who even had tried to use Its power
for its own political purposes and who
privately had not concealed his hatred
of the Roman Catholic Church.
THE Pope" the cardinal added, ~as
shepherd and teacher of the whole
flock has to consider every nation
alike. He does not doubt that terrible
things are done, especially in Belgium,
and similar things of hardly less
gravity have been done against Russia
If the Pope had to speak publicly in
condemnation Of all these questions
they must come before him and then
he is certain not to fail in duty, in
Justice, and impartiality."
