new TWILIGHT SLEEP.
Formula Invented by American More
Effective Than German Method.

New York, Aug. 9.-Extensive ex-
periments in painless child birth,
which is said to incorporate all the
good qualities of the Freiburg Twi-
light Sleep without the ill-effects, have
just been completed by DR.. H. c. AL
len, obstetrician of the Cumberland
Street Hospital. Brooklyn.
The new treatment was begun over
u year ago, following its discovery by
D1. Allen. 1t consists of administra-
ton of nicrous oxide of oxygen in
stead of scopolamin and narcophin
used in the German formula. One
physician alone, DR.. Robert Powell
Wood, assistant to DIR. Allen, has used
the new treatment with success in
more than a hundred cases. DR.. Wood
states:
THAT the American Twilight Sleep
absolutely relieves the mother of all
pain without robbing her of con-
seriousness.
That gas oxygen does not produce
the blue babies so often born under
scopolamin.
Chat cases are 100 per cent free
from fatalities, with no possibility of
danger Gus reaction upon mother or
child
Dr. Wood said further:
Save for her inability to feel pain,
the mother remains almost in a nor
NAL condition while her baby is BORN

month? AS we look at the river as

The heaviest rain of the season
was on May 26th when 2 n inches
are recorded The total number OF
inches of rainfall beginning Nay 1S
and ending on July 1S, two months
to day, was 1917 inches. This tre-
mendous rainfall amounts to 1889
tons to the acre ii we accept the
theory that an inch of rain to the
acre makes 1O1 tons.
This is the greatest rainfall in re-
