out drugs. Except in surgical cases, the
instruments he uses are such things as
spring-clothespins, rubber bands, and
aluminium combs. With such simple para
phernalia this physician and hundreds of
doctors who have studied his method are
producing remarkable cures; and thou
sands of patients are, in their own homes,
relieving conditions that formerly kept
them under more or less constant treat
ment.
This remarkable system of healing, dis
covered by DIR. William H. FitzGerald of
Hartford is termed by him zone therapy.
| believe it will come to be looked upon
as one of the great medical discoveries of
our day
1t is true that we do not yet fully un-
derstand how zone therapy works" We
have no adequate theory in explanation
of its effects. But neither have we for
gravitation, molecular attraction and re-
pulsion, or electricity
The results produced by zone therapy
sound impossible. But the impossible is
merely the thing that we have never seen
done.
Impossible" has been favorite word
in the medical profession from Neander-
thai days down to 1916. Medical men
shouted it at Hippocrates and Galen.
They chanted the chorus at Harvey when
he announced the function of the heart
and the blood-vessels. They dubbed Sem
melweis into the grave with it, though
they subsequently built him a monument.
Three years ago, when DR.. William H.
FitzGerald assured me that he was re-
lieving hundreds of patients of practically
everything except surgical conditions in
his speciality (the ear, nose, and throaD
by pressures eXerted on various definite
areas, / listened-although skeptically.
For DIR. FitzGerald's position is one
that commands respect. He is a graduate
of the University of Vermont (studying
also at Dartmouth and Yale), and spent
two and half years in the Boston City
Hospital. He served two years in the
Central London Nose and Throat Hos
pital. For like period he was in Vienna,
where he was assistant to Professor
Politzer and Professor Otto CHAR, who
are known wherever medical textbooks
are read.
For several years DR.. FITZGERALD has
been the head of the nose and throat de-
partment of the st. Francis Hospital in
Hartford. He is an active member of
most of the American medical societies,
and is recognized as one of the great
throat and nose surgeons in this country.

And right here it may be pertinent to
incorporate little explanation of the
zones and their location and distribution.
A look at the figure below will make clear
the explanation.
The Body Divided into Zones
IN zone therapy we divide the body into
ten zones, five on either side of line
drawn up the center of the body. The
first, second, third fourth and fifth zones
begin in the toes and end in the thumbs
and fingers, or begin in the thumbs and
fingers and end in the toes.
For instance, the first zone extends
from the great toe, along the line in the
body mapped in the chart up the entire
height of the body, including the chest and
back and down the arm into the thumb.
The other toes and fingers are related
to their particular zones in like manner.
The tongue, the hard and soft palate
Corning the roof of the MOUTH, and the
posterior walls of the pharynX the back
of the throaD and the epi-pharynx (where
the back of the nose and throat john are
divided in the same way.
Firm pressure over the joints of the big
toe or the thumb, or upon the proper
areas in the mouth and throat, will tend
to overcome pain or any condition re-
lievable by zone therapy, in the entire
first zone; and similar results follow
squeezing the fingers and toes, or upon
making pressure over the areas CORE
spending to the other zones.
But it is necessary to press the proper
zone in the proper way and for the
proper length of time in order to secure
results.
And no matter how much faith suf-
ferer, for instance, from right-headed
earache might have, it would be useless
to squeeze the tirst-zone thumb when the
trouble is in the ring finger and little
finger area; and equally useless to squeeze
the left-head fourth and fifth zones for.
this right-headed trouble.
Similarly, we could not relieve fourth
and fifth-zone sciatica by putting spring.
clothespins on the big toe and its i'm
mediately adjacent neighbor, nor relieve
eyestrain by understanding the little
finger instead of the index finger.
These points will all be ampIifed and
made clear in succeeding articles of this

ment of specific conditions in ample detail.

Side by Side the
American and Mex
Men Fight Bandits

San Antonio, Tex. July 3l.-Car-
ranzista and United States troops
fought side by side in the engagement
with Mexican bandits south of Fort
Hancock, Tex, today, according to
the official report from Brigadier
General Bell, jr., at El Paso to Major
General Funston tonight
A Carranza captain and eight SOL
diers responded to an appeal for aid
from the American side of the Rio
Grande, the report says. The bandits
fled and rctreated over the river, leav-
ing behind four dead.
The American dead numbered two;
Private John Twoney, F troop,
Eighth United States cavalry.
Robert Woods, customs guard.
The report to General Funston does
not make clear the manner in which
the fight which took place about | 80
a. m, began, nor does it indicate the
object of the bandits in crossing to
the American side. General Funston
said it was possible, however, that the
bandits when surprised by the Amer
leans were attempting to escape from
the Carrinzistas, who later engaged
them in the battle. The latter had
been in pursuit of the marauders for
several days,
The Carranzistas followed the es-
Gaping bandits across the Rio Grande.
General Funston said no American
troops would join the chase.

TO COAL WORLDS NAvIES
World Powers Keep Jealous Eyes on
All Strategic Ports for
Coal piles

Every world power casts covetous
eyes on available sites for coaling
ports for its naval and mercantile
fleets. On the confined shores of the
Yellow Sea three great powers estab-
lished coaling bases-at Port Arthur,
at Weihaiwei and at kiaochau.
Our own government, with an ear
open to faint sounds, keeps an eye
peeled on St. Thomas and the coast
of Mexico, ever watching for mysteri-
GUS doings or slightest suspicion of
transfer of domain to another power.
To guard the trade routes and ap-
proaches to the Gulf of Mexico the
Navy department at Washington has
established most important coaling
base at Guantanamo, Cuba. Thus all
three routes to the gulf-through the
Florida Straits between Key West and
Cuba, through the Windward Passage
between Guantanamo and Haiti and
the passages either side of Porto
Rico-are now controlled by Ameri-
can bases.
In the Pacific the coaling station,
Honolulu, with storage capacity of
100000 tons, provides ample supplies
for the needs of warships guarding
the approaches across the Pacific. In
contrast to the Gulf OF Mexico and
the Pacific routes and those to South
American ports, the trade routes OF
the world are practically dominated in
time of war by English coaling ports
