physicians have discovered sue
cessful method OF curing the nerv-
Gus affliction so frequent among dis
abled soldiers. which causes con-
slant trembling OF the whole or part
OF the body.
DR.. Ernst Bayer. head OF the nerve
hospital at Roderbirken. has outiin-
ed method of electrical i treat
ment, which. it is claimed. often eff
fects a complete cure in few days.
and is almost invariably effective
within a period OF three weeks. The
newspapers describe his method as
follows:
by the application OF gentle ell
ectric current which causes no pain
whatever. good results have been
obtained In a few minutes or at the
longest two and half hours. a
course of treatment is required af-
ter this. which does not last more
than two or three weeks. and in
light cases is finished in few days
New attacks may occur due to ex.
citement or nerve strain, but are

GERMANS SUPPLIED
WITH MACHINE GUNS

French Front, October 7.-(Cor-
respOndence of the Associated
Press)--German appreciation OF the
value Of the machine gun in modern
battles was apparent at the very be-
ginning of hostilities in 1914 and
the most recent Developments in
their infantry formations give testi-
mony of ever-extending reliance on
this weapon for the defense of the
front line.
Each German infantry regiment
will be provided with no fewer than
"a Of these weapons, whose manipu-
lators are formed into a separate
company, and besides these each
company is to be furnished with six
light rapid fire guns, altogether
making a formidable equipment.
This is an enormous increase over
the number provided at the begin
ming of the war, when each regi-
ment of infantry of the active army
and its reserve possessed only six Of
these guns.
