there is a nickel in this for Cohen. It's

Dr. Cohen. who conducts the New
York Veterinary Hospital at COS East
Twenty-third street, gave yesterday n
demonstration of a secret mixture which
he has just perfected and which he be-
lieves is potent to nullify all those forms
Of gas attack which the Germans have
brought to warfare to seek the cootie
in his lair and leave him lifeless; to
confound vermin and render the scav-
enRer fly innocuous. 1t will evict fever
from the trenches. he says. and sprayed
in the hulls of transports will remove
from life on the deep nll peril except
that of the submarines 1t seems to be,
in short, that general panacea and anti
dote for which the United States and
its Allies have long been seeking. From
it its inventor seeks neither money nor
fame.
Everybody who Is anybody in art.
science. bellies lettres and war was pres
ent yesterday when DR.. Cohen demon
strated his discovery in the laboratory
OF his establishment i'm East Twenty
third street The blue bottle ny had not
been invited. hence the unconcern with
which, DR.. Cohen turned the atomiz'-
nozzle on him at the point where he
buZzed out of his turn
"If this doesn't croak him don't wait
till the morning. Take tnsI meat axe
and Croak me now"
The Late Mr.. Fly.
And so saying the learned veterinarian
turned the nozzle full at the blue fly.
which at once curled up and died with
out a cry.
Dr. Cohen had previously introduced
from somewhere IN the institution over
which he presides a ph!al OF some liquid
which from its entrance dominated the
room. The blue fy had paid little heed
to IL. but the savants present from time
to time looked at Il and then appeal
ingly at DIR. Cohen.
And now. gents said DIR. Cohen the
career of the fly being ended and done
with, "in the interests OF pure science
want every man in the room to give
his undivided attention to this phial for
the space Of three seconds. II when !
have sprayed the neck OF this phial with
a whiff from the atomizer there is any
gentleman in the room who still thinks
he is in hurry to leave II will hand
him the price OF a suit of clothes
And 10. II was as though magic made
its presence felt then and there. A
Whit from the atomiZer spray and the
deadly mixture in the glass phial be-
came new mown hay.
Wonderful" said the men present
not voice dissenting.
II had a dog in here Sunday" ran on
the veterinarian and patriot. and Just
before l introduced him into the room
| filled It with Illuminating gas. The
dog keeled right over the minute he got
snout full of II. but l was right behind
him with the life saver. and my men
followed the dog in with the stomizer
advancing in a column. and as soon as
we cleared the air the dog picked HIM
self UP off the floor and barked for his
breakfast. Gentlemen. it's winner
And. gentlemen. /. there's a nickel in il
for Cohen III give each and every man
present a hobby suit OF clothes before
YOU take me to the foot OF the street and
throw me into the Fast River
Dr. Cohen has submitted his formula
to Or. Parks OF the Willard Parker
Hospital and expects to hear the best
accounts OF It after II has been sub
iccted TO all the tests OF science. n DR.
Parks reports according to expectations
its inventor will offer It to the Govern
ment; he to receive no benefit until the
world is again at peace. Then II there
is any place for 1t on the market he
wants the reversionary rights.
