made of working with acknowledged prin-
ciples of procedure and with careful accu-
mutation and. test of data.
The German spiritualists even go so far
as to show a representative prudence in
communion with their fellows in other lands.
OF all groups of human beings it might have
been imagined that spiritualists, by grace
of their cosmic perspectives, might have
been spared the entanglements of jingoism
But no. the German spiritualists accuse
especially the Americans and the French OF
what in their ethics ranks with atrocities.
In America mediums were used by spirit
ualists, Il seems to wage war on Germany.
II was the same also in France. though In
smaller measure. Mass prayers were
prayed by American spiritualists at given
hours throughout the country to send great
currents OF destructive thought-energy to
the enemy across the ocean. And French
mediums even sought to bring spiritual
pressure to bear on prominent German gen.
erals. For this reason the foreigner Is not
welcome at German seance. War. the
spiritualists here believe, must ~ fought
with weapons and not thought-energy.
But while the Germans stand somewhat
in arrears OF America and England in re-
search they are taking the lead In utilizing
psychic phenomena in at least pae practical
way. And that is the service Of clairvoy
ance to the criminal police. At present the
records OF the best experin' ents in this line
still are kept secret. But more than one
police force In Germany Berlin included is
making serious use of mediums in trying to
ferret out the solution of crime mysteries.
when Erzberger was assassinated the re-
port was published that useful clews actu-
ally had been furnished by clairvoyants.
The reports were not true. but the expert
ments with occultism nevertheless. are
ieing made and may one day amplify the
methods OF crime tracing Throughout the
world.
The discovery Of the bodies OF the three
murdered Mayors near Heidelberg this year
was not actually inspired by clairvoyant,
as It happens, but the find might have been
made several days before It was had the

Berlin, Dec. "a, 1891.
~ ERMANY, like other nations with war
casualties, is going through a time
- of stormy experimentation with
occultism. Never before has the interest
in the "abode beyond" been so intense or
shared by so many individuals. And not
alone the spirit universe. but every nuance
of the psychic: hypnotism, suggestion, clair
voyance, paInistry, is a far more exciting
theme of the hour than is to be recognized
from surface indications. Some one lectures
in Berlin on some topic in this category
every evening: and every day experiments
arc made with mediums. part OF this
activity is serious, in Germany as elsewhere;
a part even scientific with investigation
along the lines of the Psychical Research
Society in England A part Is plain baldeT-
dash, and Berlin has its share of the worlds
haunts OF palmists. clairvoyants. crystal
gazers and similar parasites OF popular
superstitions.

Many Sporadic Cases Here,
General Practitioners Say


\ leading fact gained by talks with ply
scians in New York is that nearly all of the
general practitioners have had some expert
ence in their own practice of cases which.
for lack of better nomenclature they have
diagnosed as sleeping sickness. The cases
are sporadic. however, and therefore the
study of the mysterious malady could not
be profound.
Nevertheless here as in other parts of the
world where the need Of cure is more def
mite, efforts have been expended to euci
date the prevention and cure of the sleeping
sickness Continued disappointment has ac-
companied the use OF drug after drug that
have been suggested and used in combating
the terror. Most of these had been given
with reference to the blood Some of them
seemed for time to kill off the organisms
but only for time.
Physicians then began to study the fluid
surrounding the brain and spinal cord IL
was suggested that here might be a kind OF
reservoir from which new organisms would
be drawn. Sir David Bruce supplied the evi-
dence linking up the evil. called by doctors
trUpdnosontd with the famous tsetse fly dis
ease. which is so fatal to cattle and horses
Later the trUpdnosoUtd was found in the
brain fluid, and finally it was discovered that
n species of the tsetse fly carried the organ
ism and infected patients.
DIR. Marshall of Uganda lately appeared
before the Society of Tropical Medicine and
Hygiene I'm London and described method
of treatment by which he had been able to
save fifty lives. He showed 20 the society
patient whom he had cureI Of sleeping
sickness after he had been pronounced in
durable by other physicians familiar with the
disease in their patients These doctors had
found the organism causing the fatal disease
in this show patient and they had pro
rounced his cure improbable.
DR.. Marshall's method at first was 10 in
ject salvarsan by mixing it with a little OF
the patients blood into the cerebro-spinal
fluid. The treatment took place on board
ship on the way to England from Egypt
At Cairo HypdnoSOmeS We're found in the

varsan In the usual way, and half an hour
later drew off a small quantity of the
patients blood This blood. containing the
salvarsan was then injected into the fluid
surrounding the brain and spinal cord a
subsequent investigation for the dreaded
trypdnosoB,eS showed none In this way the
hidden nest of the disease was destroyed and
the patient saved He Us shown as a
robust man.
A suggestion has been made by New York
specialists that the use OF salvarsan may be
unnecessary and that the neal curative agent
may be the patients own blood. there being
reason to think that the blood may develop
an antdote TO the disease while the spinal
fluid does not Thus in injecting blood into
the cerebro-spinal fluid the physician MAY
be conveying the patients own antidote to

CURE FOR SLEEPING SICKNESS
Germans Discover New Drug
Which Proves Success.
CHESTER, England, Dec.

CHESIEN, England, DEC. 80
A cure for sleeping sickness has
been discovered In Germany, accord
ing to Prof. Newstsad Of the Liver
pool University, who related how a
man who had spent some years in
Africa went to Liverpool University,
whsse he was found to be suit ering
from sleeping sickness.
The man, along with q young med
Ieal student, was sent to Germany
and, said the professor, with more
credit to the Germans, he came home
within month completely cured"
The Germans, he said, had discovered
a new drug which had proved invalu-
able in the cure of sleeping sickness.
