SERUM FOR BLINDNESS
Brooklyn Scientist Claims to Have
Discovered Sure Cure.

Brooklyn Scientist Claim. to Have
Discovered Sure Cure.
New York, July 26.-A serum
which DR.. Erasmus Arlington Pond,
Brooklyn eye specialist, claims has
cured nine cases of blindness caused
by atrophy, will soon be demonstrat,
ed before the Academy of Medicine
and the American Medical associa.
ton, it was reported today.
DIR. Pond, who discovered the Sc.
rum, said the method of cure was to
inject the fluid which nourished the
optic nerve. Blindness caused by &C.
cident, he said, could not be cured
by the serum, nor would it be sue
cessful unless there was a slight Wis.
ion left to the patient. The physician
said as soon as he had demonstrated
his discovery before the medical
profession he would make public the
formula that it might be used gen.
orally.

SWALLOWED TACK TO
SHOW OFF TO PLAYMATES

Philadelphia, Aug. GA race with
death which began five days ago at
his home in Monticello, Arkansas,
and ended here, was won by nine
year old Morris Keizer.
Morris swallowed a brass tack to
win the admiration of his playmates.
The tack lodged deep in his lung,
threatening to puncture it. The boy
was rushed across the country to a
hospital here on the slim chance his
life might be saved. A bronchoscope
was inserted and forceps applied to
remove the tack. No anaesthetic was
administered and today the boy was
declared perfectly well.

MARKETING LIVESTOCK
Best Methods Suggested by Extension

Clemson College, Aug.-For the
advantageous marketing of our sur,
plus livestock the marketing special.
lists suggest three methods; namely
local marketing 'For Sale" days and
cooperative shipping. Any or all OF
these may be used as conditions jus.
tify.
In local marketing of butcher cat
tie it is suggested that lists of farm
ers having livestock for sale be sup
piled local and nearby butchers,
abattoirs and packers, and that the
classes of stock for sale be frankly
stated. In the sale of breeding
stock, farmers with surplus animals
and their neighbors who need such
animals should be brought together.
"For Sale" days offer all classes
of local and foreign buyers oppor-
tunity to get choice of their needs,
and they offer farmers opportunity
to study classes of stock and to sell
at market prices the. class or classes
they have for sale.
Cooperative shipping gives the
small farmer with one or two ami
mails, as we'll as the large farmer
with a hundred, the opportunity to
sell at proportional cost and the same
profit on the best markets, and it
leads to better knowledge Of market
requirements and eventually to the
organization of livestock shipping as.
