THE MOEOTSG OBEGONIAN, 3TJESDAT, JTJBY 10, 1G00. BOERS UNUSUALLYACTIVE LORD ROBERTS REPORTS KUMER Ot7S SKZRSnSHES. The Dutch-Defeated In s Hard Fight la the Mlddelburs: District Consul HoIIIb Recalled. LONDON, July 10. As Lord Roberts' dispatches reveal, the Boers are unusu ally active, both In the Oronge River Colony and the so-called pacified Wei ern Transvaal, but without producing an serious Impression upon the British arms. The Bond leaders at the Cape are ex tending their boycott of British firms, and Dutch companies -with 200.009 capital have been formed. .Passengers arrived at Lourenco Mar ques July S from Mlddelburg say thero has been hard fighting between the latter place and- Machadodorp, in which the Boers were defeated and demoralized. The Lourenco Marques correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says, under date of July 9: "I understand that Mr. Hollls, the American Consul here, has been recalled. He Is a well-known pro-Boer." REPORTED BY ROBERTS. Boer Force Driven Array From the Railway Line. LONDON, July 9. The following dis patch from Lord Roberts has been re ceived at the War office: "Pretoria, July 8. As the enemy had been for some days threatening our line of railway by trying to get round our right flank. I dispatched Sutton, July 5, with mounted Infantry, to reinforce Ma hon, and with orders to drive the Boers to the east of Broenkersprult. These or ders were effectively carried out during Friday and Saturday by Mahon, who was attacked by some S0CO men, with six guns and two maxims. Our casualties were: "Wounded Two officers, including Cap tain Nelles, of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, slightly, and 26 men. "Steyn left Bethlehem on the night of July 4 for Fouriersburg, between Bethle hem and Flcksburg, accompanied by Christian Dewet and other Free State commanders, with tropps reported num bering 2000 men. "Hanbury-Tracy, commanding at Rust enburg, reports that a party of Boers under Limmer. called on him yesterday to surrender the town and garrison. Hanbury-Tracy replied that he held Rust enburg for Her Majesty's Government and Intended to continue to occupy it. The enemy then opened fire with artillery and tried to take the heights commanding the town, but did not succeed, owing to the good arrangements made by Hanbury Tracy and his ofiicers. Eventually they were driven oft, with the assistance of Holdsworth and his hussars, who made a rapid march of 48 miles from the neigh borhood of Zeerust, with the Bushmen under Colonel Aire, on hearing Rusten burg was likely to be threatened. "The enemy suffered heavily, and five men were captured. The casualties were two men killed and one officer and three men wounded." The operations in South Africa against Dewet have an Important bearing upon the China qestion, since the dispersion of commandos which have been raiding th2 lines of communication In the Free State, will enable Lord Roberts to dispense with several divisions, which can be transfer red to Taku and Hong Kong. The War Office closed without reporting the occupation of either Vryde or Beth lehem. The failure of his attack upon the Vrycksburg garrison Is confirmed by press dispatches, and General Brabant Is re ported to have occupied one of his strong holds, Doornberg, between Senekal and Winburg. Reports of recent operations have been bq confused that it Is not posslblotto dec nne with precision tne ijriusa positions and approaches to Bethlehem. Dewet may no longer have any motive for tak ing prisoners, since he will not know what to do with ,them. Probably the commandos will divide and subdivide for guerrilla .warfare, and slowly break up when, driven back to the mountains. SURRENDERED AT HEDLBROX. Transvaal Officials Give Up the Con flict. LONDON, July 9. Lord Roberts tele graphs to the War Office from Prstorla as follows: "The officer commanding at Hellbron reports that State Secretary Bhgnaut. State Attorney Dickson and Members of the Council "Vantader and Kuppervergen came In yesterday and surrendered. "Hutton was attacked yesterday In a position he was hold by a large number of Boers. He beat them off without much difficulty. Our only casualty was Lieu tenant Toung, of the First Canadian Troop, slight scalp wound. The enemy left several wounded on the ground and cent a flag of truce, with a request that they might be received In our hospital. "I regret to say that Captain Currle and Lieutenant Kirk, of the Imperial Light Horse, who were reported wounded in my telegram of yesterday, were both killed. One squadron of this distinguished corps pressed a very strong lorce ot tne enemy In a gallant attempt to carry oft a wounded comrade, to which they at tributed the heavy loss sustained. In addition to the officers, a farrier, ser geant and three troopers were killed, and the Sergeant-Major, three Sergeants and seven troopers were wounded. AFRIKANDER WOSIEPf. Protest Agrolnst the Annexation of the Republics. CAPS TOWN, July 9. At a meeting ot Afrikander women here today, called to protest against the annexation of the republics to the British Empire and the punishment of the rebels, Mrs. Olive Schreiner Cronwright denounced the Brit ish policy. She said she was ashamed of her English descent, and added: "If the republics are annexed, if the Afrikanders are opposed, peace is Impos sible. Every trench of Boer dead is a grave of England's honor. Every bullet making a wound also finds a bullet In the heart of the empire." It is reported here that President Krugers retention of large amounts of gold at Machadodorp has created the ut most discontent among the mercenaries, omccrs and men. They expected sub stantial rewards for championing the Boer interests, but have received noth ing. It Js added that visiting foreigners who have subsequently advocated Inter vention are believed to have received substantial sums. .Proofs, it Is further asserted, have been discovered in Pre toria," which promise startling develop ments. ROBERTS' DELAY. London Becoming: Restless Over HI Inactivity. NEW YORK, July 9. A dispatch from London to the Herald says: London Is becoming unmistakably rest less for news of decisive action in South Africa. Lord Roberts delay in cornering the elusive Dewet has begun to call forth criticism, although It Is by no means forgotten that a lull has preceded the ac companiment of every Field Marshal's vital operations. It Is believed that General Buller's ar rival at Pretoria, completing the barrier between the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, Is all that Lords Roberts has been waiting for before striking his long planned blow. Sister Isabel Wilson, a volunteer nurse, who has Just returned from South Afri ca, in an interview relative to the Royal Army Medical Service, said: "There is unquestionably foundation for the charge that the British Hospital Service throughout the entire South Afri can campaign has been and Is now mis erably deficient. The Insufficient number of nurses has been the chief cause of complaint. At the Pietermaritxburg Hos pital, following the battle of Spionkop, five doctors and five nurses were com pelled to care for 140 wounded men, In addition to being beset by the most dis tracting Bystem of red tape. "Lack of foresight was wholly respon sible for this under-staffing. Hundreds of volunteers, for the number seeing service, were relieved early in the war on the ground that the regular supply was more than ample. Many nurses have suc cumbed to enteric fever and dysentery, and the capacity of those who have not been taken sick Is sorely tried by over work. "The volunteer nurses object to the nig gardly treatment they have received at the hands of the government. Our pay Is six shillings (Jl 60) a day, out of which we are obliged to provide our mess, laundry and 'clothes. As a result, I have earned less than a charwoman's wages." EFFECtf OF WAR ON COMMERCE 'Would Injur General Trade But Stimulate Some Lines. NEW YORK. July!. A special to the Herald from Washington says: "War with China would certainly be detrimental to American trade with that Empire." This statement was made by Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson. He contin ued: "For the time being American trade would be destroyed, because the mer chant would not be able to reach the In terior of the Celestial Empire with his goods. Of course there would be a special demand for wheat, oats, breadstuff's, horses and mules, and the United States would have to meet the demand of the allied armies, consequently the exporta tion of cereals and animals would be In creased many fold. On the other hand, there would be a marked falling off In general trade, especially in such exports as cotton manufactures, kerosene oil, iron and steel manufactures, tobacco, lumber, manufactures of wood, parts of .clocks, books, maps, etc "The total value of these articles of export In 1898 was $9,236,621. The value of -wheat exported to China has averaged barely $100,000 a year for several years. On the other hand, the value of wheat flour exported In 1S9S to Hong Kong, much of which undoubtedly went Into China, amounted to $3,833,727. The total value of our agricultural exports direct to Chinese ports In 1893 amounted to $595,749, the principal articles being cot ton, flour, ginseng, malt liquors, canned beef, milk, canned fruits and leaf to bacco. "To show how remarkable has been the growth of our trade with China, It Is only necessary to give a few statistics as to the commercial relation for 10 years. From 1SS9 to 1899 there was a gain of J13.2S3.16S. The increase was al most entirely in exports, which advanced in value from $2,791,123 In 18S9 to $14, 493,440 in 1S99. Our imports for 1899, amounting to $18,S19.26S, were only slight ly larger than In 1889, when a value of $17,02S.412 was reported. "Taking these figures as a basis, It is easy to see that the war would, for the time being, Increase agricultural exports beyond the average of 5 per cent for the past 10 years, but would practically stop the exportation to China of other Ameri can products that in 10 years have averaged 95 per cent. War would also Interfere materially with our Import trade from China, which, for the years from 1894 to 189S, inclusive, averaged only $20,0$6.S32. The principal commodities were tea, $7,0C2,725; raw silk, $5,032,825, and raw wool, $1,460,855. "Meats for the allied army In China would probably have to be obtained from Australia. The difficulty In warm cli mates is to keep the carcasses of ani mals cool. Our soldiers In Manila, are fed on fresh meat, but it is owing to the recent erection of a fine refrigerator at that point" NEW YORK CHINESE. Satlsf jd.Their Countrymen Do JCot if "Want Religion. NEW YORK. July 9. The Chinese merchants of this city are said to be considering the advisability of calling a meeting of the prominent Chinese to out line their feelings toward the uprising of Boxers in China, and the consequent endangering of American lives and prop erty. Chinatown was anything but quiet Sun day. Mott and Pell streets were Impass able. Some Chinamen who work In other parts of the city flocked to this quarter to hear the latest news. A Chinese mis sion preacher, who held forth at the Junction of Mott and Pell streets, spent some time In explaining the week's de velopments In China. At the gospel tabernacle. Dr. Wang, a convert of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, who has Just arrived from Tien Tsln, China, preiched in the afternoon and evening. At the beginning of his ser mon, he outlined his Idea of the situation in China. He said In part: "When I left Tien Tsln, on May 17, we expected this trouble to come, but did not look for It so soon. The fate of the missionaries in the danger district Is still unknown, but I do not believe they can escape, at least, not many of them. The thousands of native Christians in North ern China have evep fewer chances. The rioters hate them worse than they do the missionaries. Some of them will be forced to give up their new religion and may escape by that means. I believe, however, that roost of them will die for the faith, like martyrs of old. China will doubtless learn a valuable lesson from this trouble. The Chinese will see what civilization can do with them. It will not mike them any easier to convert. They don't want religion, and no amount of war will make them change their minds." Rev. F. Bell, of the Christian and Mis sionary Alliance, cabled the station of the alliance at Wu Hu, In Central China, asking for Information about the mission aries in the Pekln district. He his re ceived news which leads him to believe that there are at least two missionaries visiting at Pekln besides the five regu larly stationed there. The regular Pekln force includes Miss D. M. Doan, of Al bany; Miss Amy Brown, of Meadville, Pa.: Miss Anna Gowans, of Scotland; Miss H. Rutherford and Rev. M. C. York. The Alliance has 30 stations beyond Pe kln at which there are 22 European mis sionaries, most of whom are from Swe den. They have 17 children with them. All of these stations are in the greatest danger if, indeed, they have not already been destroyed. Children Die From Heat. NEW YORK, July 9. To the continua tion of the hot weather Is attributed the high death rate among children. For the first six days of July the deaths reported of children of 5 years old or under aver aged 53 in Manhattan and the Bronx, and 41 In Brooklyn. Saturday's report showed 51 deaths of children under 5 years In Manhattan and the Bronx, and 5S in Brooklyn. Sunday's list Includes 45 such deaths in Manhattan and the Bronx.

THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL FEAT OF A CHICAGO DAJCE XX NI AGARA RAPIDS. ICr. Bovrser, in Hi Beet, FoolltlUer, Slado the Trip "Without Mishap. NIAGARA FALLS, July 8. Peter Nles Bon, of Chicago, or "Mr. Bowser," as he styles himself, went through the whirl pool rapids of Niagara today. In the pres ence of about 10,000 persons. In his craft. The boat was towed to a rock about a mile above the rapids, and secured. The point "was difficult to reach by officials from either the American or Canadian side, who might have been disposed to Interfere with the adventurer. Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Bowser was seen In his boat. A little later James Labland pulled up in a rowboat and towed the Foolklller, with Bowser aboard, Into the current, At S:57 the start down stream was actually commenced, but tho fickle eddies kept the Foolklller drifting about until she got Into the whirlpool current and started for the final plunge. He passed under the cantilever bridge, and the boat was going at tho speed of a train. He waved his cap, and the crowd Baw the boat on the crest of a smooth wave, and at times dive Into the leaping spray and disappear. The strange craft turned over and over like a hoop, rolling and plunging until It passed a bend In the river, and the most perilous part of the Journey had been passed. The craft kept on a crest of the waves until sub merged again on the verge of the whirl pool. Shooting Into the whirlpool the Fool killer swung around and went down like a fishing-bob, but rose again quickly. For the next 57 minutes Bowser and his boat circled around the whirlpool. Shortly before 6 o'clock the Foolklller was car ried out to the edge of the rapids, and a line was thrown by Bowser to the mn on shore, who hauled him in. Hla first question was: "How is that for Bowser?" Bowser warmed himself at a fire built on the shore and put on dry cloth'ng, and appears to be little the worse for his mad ride. "Had I known how bad the whirlpool rapids are, I would never have made the trip," he said. The Foolklller Is 20 feet long and 4 feet deep, and Is made of 2-Inch plpi. with four air-tight compartments. The keel weighs 1250 pounds. Where Bowser Comes Front. CHICAGO, July . F. M.

Empress of China Resumes Control and Will Protect Foreigners. SHANGHAI, July 10. News from of ficial sources was received at 10 o'clock last night to the effect that the Empress had June 20 resumed the reins of govern ment, and appointed Tung Lu Prime Min ister. It is said that she sent a dispatch to Nankin by courier at the rate of ICO miles per day, thanking the "Viceroys of the Yangtse Klang provinces for their loyalty, and recommending that they pro tect foreigners at any cost. LETTER FROM A MISSIONARY Doric Days Before the Uprising. Boxer NEW YORK. July 9. Miss Jennie Evans, for 25 years a missionary for the Presbyterian Church In China, writes to her sister, Mrs. R. S. P. Webster, of Brooklyn, from Tung Chow, May 29, 0 and 31, in part as follows: "May 29 Matters grow darker and dark er all around us. Word comos today that one of the railroad depots Just out of Pekln (the Pekln terminus for the roads are not allowed Inside the city), was burned yesterday by the Boxers, and the other Is to be burned today. Cars not running "from Tien Tsln to Pekln or from Pao Ting Fu to Pekln, and so no malls. One of the Methodist outstntlons had three houses destroyed and nine persons killed. We hear the London missions suffered at one of their outstatlons. At the railroad station we heard of no for eigners being killed. A Frenchman got Into Pekln with a knife cut In the back of the neck. Foreign soldiers are being sent for, but what can they do when this thing spreads all over the north nearly? We do not know when our turn may come. We con hardly expect our col lege will escape; certainly not If wo leave, and even if we wished to go, where could we go? The old way by boat would bo very dangerous. No, we must stay and pray God to keep us. Some of the gentle, men have gone Into the city to get our highest officials to send a guard of sol diers for both our places inside and out side the city. "May 30 Such an anxious day as this has been, and yet nothing has come. The promised soldiers do not come a few, who did not look like soldiers, came, but without guns. Now we find the Taotal has none here, we rely alone on God. Just after breakfast a number of us thought to walk Into the city to attend a prayer meeting, when tho report came that the cly was full of Boxers, and that they were coming out to loot our premises. "One of the worst anti-foreign com manders has his troops stationed out at the railroad station. The soldiers say (hey are not going to fight Boxers, but prevent any foreign soldiers from enter ing the city. I guess It Is pretty evident that the Empress Dowager is at the bot tom of this. "May 21 All quiet during the night, and today wo hear fewer rumors than we did yesterday. A letter from our Min ister this noon comforts us ir neces sary, when the 50 marines get to Pekln, ho will try to send us a few does not cortalnly promise but he says he will send down to the gunboat and see If he can get us some guns says he has not so much as a pistol at the legation, not be ing as well oft as we are here. One things the Boxers wish to do is to do away with everything foreign, and so they have gone back to their old arms, a gun carried by two men. "There are no new startling reports from Pekln today. Mr. Conger has ad vised us to press our Taotal, and if he does not send help, send word and ho will report at the high court in Pekln he wants to help us all he can." JESTER MURDER TRIAL. Famous Case Called Up in a 'Mis souri Court. MEXICO Mo., July 9. Tho case of Alexander Jester, charged with the mur der of Gilbert Gates 23 years ago, was called today In the Ralls County Circuit Court in special term. This is tho sec ond timo the case has been called. Gilbert Gates and Alexander Jester were neighbors near here In the early '70s, when, one morning in 1872, It was discov ered that Gates had been brutally mur dered with a club and then robbed. At the same time Jester disappeared. Sub sequent developments showed that Jester went to a little town in Illinois, pros pcred, lived a model life, and not only gained the respect of the community, but was several times requested to accept po litical positions. These latter he always refused. His frugal habits resulted in his accumulating a sufficient fortune with which to retire. About a year ago Jester bad some trouble with hlB sister pertaining to finan cial affairs, it appearing that she discov ered his whereabouts and promptly levied blackmail to maintain silence. Her de mands were so heavy that the aged man was unable to meet them, and for revenge she caused the authorities to arrest him, charged with the crime. During the great lapse of time the murder had been for gotten by the citizens and the circum stantial evidence disappeared, so that now there is scarcely any evidence against Jester except the, statement of the sister. Jester denies his guilt. Since Jester's arrest the authorities have spent much time and money In an effort to establish his guilt or Innocence. SHORT GOLD SUPPLY. London Financiers Are Not Pleased Wit the Outlook. NEW YORK, July 9The Times' Lon don financial correspondent cables: The English market has fallen Into a state of uncomfortable cheapness, which may have an unpleasant ending. Thanks to tho necessities of the government, bank ers have been deluged with credits, origi nating in its -borrowings at the Bank of England. These the week before last amounted to 5,500,000, part of which was disbursed before dividend day. Dividends, British and Indian, came out on Thurs day, and Immediately the balances of the borrowings at the bank were paid off, while at the same time short credits In the open market fell to 15S1 per cent. Generally speaking, cheap floating cred it brings low discount rate3, but it has not been so now. Such is the nervousness of the city that bill brokers have actually raised their commissions since money be came overabundant, and on Friday and Saturday remitted 90-day paper at 2H23i per cent. There are reasons In plenty for this nervousness, not the least cogent of which is the persistent export demand for gold. Not only Is the gold that comes Into the open market snapped up by the foreigners, but small parcels dally leave the bank for Paris. The result Is that we enter ,the second and trying half of the year with only 560,000 more visible gold In stock than we had at the begin ning of January last. Something must be done to stop the export and attract the metal. If the storm Is to be staved off in the Autumn, and therefore discount houses have begun to struggle against the delirious infringe ment of cheap credit brought Into bear ing by the profuse war expenditures of tho government. We might hope some thing would be done by the payment ol "Khaki" loan Installment next Tuesday to stiffen the short-loan market, and so help the brokers, but unfortunately the expenditures of the war have caused this money to be anticipated, and what we are much afraid of now i3 the issue of yet. another loan. Provision for a campaign in China may be given as an excuse for fresh demands, but South Africa will take a heavy share in what may be go ing. No sooner, therefore. Is the open market denuded of the credits poured Into It by the treasury than fresh pay ments flood It again, and all the time It Is being forced toward a crisis. Abroad the tension Is less, especially In Germany, thanks merely to liberal report to overissue of paper money, ana experienced bankers are apprehensive that the German Emperor's ambitious Chinese war programme may place an unbearable strain on tho Berlin market Even Paris Is not altogether comfortable, but the very universality of apprehen slveness may avrt anything more Injuri ous than a convulsive spasm of string ency. Already the beginning of such a spasm has darkened the trade outlook, and I am unable to report anyihing cheerfu. about British commerce. Lancashire has been suffering for" some time through the Indian famine and plague, and now th- Chinese imbroglio is sending depression into the woolen and metal trades. With all this, coal keeps extremely dear, to the curtailments of profits, and our rail way stocks have been falling because speculators oxpect reduced dividends In spite of Improved gross receipts. On the stock exchange one hears noth ing but growling, so that members wel come a holiday such as they had yester day with shouts of delight. Even the Investment business cannot make both ends meet. The best opinion here leans to the view that the scare about a short age In the wheat supplies has been over done, and prices on our markets tend downward. t GOEBEL MURDER CASE. Trial of Suspects Opens at George town, Ky. GEORGETOWN, Ky., July 9. The casc3 of the Commonwealth against Youtsey, Powers, Davis, Whltaker and Combs, charged with complicity in the murder of William Goebel, at Frankfort, January 4, were called by Judge Cantrlll today.

Four bodies were DVASTAGES OF What Summer Means in the Cure of Catarrh There are contracted during the periods of Fall, "Winter and Spring those ca tarrhal conditions of the head and throat and other parts that are engaged In carrying air to the lungs. The changeable weather, the cold spells followed by warm poriods with thaws and dampness, to gether with a necessity during the cold weather of living Indoors with the house shut up and often overheated, the Impure air of closed buildings, all tend to the development of disease of those parts which carry the air to the lungs and to the ears. Not only does the Inclemency of Spring, Fall and Winter produce such diseases, but the same causes that pro duce the diseases also Interfere with the efforts of the doctor to cure them. Dur ing the Summer months things are dif ferent. The climate Is warmer, the high winds loaded with dusty particles that Irritate the diseased parts that carry the air are absent; there is plenty of fresh air, as the house Is kept open, and this, together with outdoor life, so Improves the general health that Nature is able to Improve all those diseases that attack the breathing tracts and ears. Thus, in the treatment of all catarrhal diseases, that which has been frequently urged Is true, namely, that one month of treat ment during the Summer, when the lia bility to catching cold is reduced to the minimum and Nature lends her aid to tho physician. Is worth two months of the most skillful and conscientious treatment during Winter. If yon cannot come to the oflioe, rrrite for Home Treatment Symptom Blanlc and Boole, and be cored at home. THE TREATMENT THAT CURES Dr. Copeland's Ifevr Treatment, that has lifted the darkness and blight of the word "Incurable" from hundreds of thousands of these canes in the Throat, Bronchial Tabes and Langs, works Its curative action for two reasons: (1) It reaches every sore spot, from the orifice of the nose to tho deepest part of the lungs, to the innermost recesses of the middle car. (2) Instead of irritating, inflaming, and feeding the fires of the disease, it soothes, quiets, heals and cures. What Is the treatment that cures these conditions, once regarded incurable? By what process does It restore the diseased membrane, remove the poison and relieve the soreness of disease? Let the experi ence of persons cured and being cured tell. How It Cures Catarrh. Here Is a patient taking treatment for Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the soothing medication through his nostrils and the nasal channels open up, the stuffed-up feeling In the head leaves and he can breathe naturally through the nose again. The dull pains across the front of the head fado -away, and the nasal membrane Is soothed until the In flammation and soreness are all gone. The bad odor of the breath passes away, and the lost sense of smell returns. The dropping In the throat is checked, the nose does not stop up toward night any more, the sneezing and snuffing have ceased, the discharge from the nose grows less and less and Anally stops al together. The disease has been checked and eradicated from the system before It ever reaches the throat. It has not been driven down Into his throat or Into his lungs or Into his ears, as Is so often done by other treatments. Consultation free. THECOPELAIND MEDICAL IISSTITUT The Dekum.

The intention of tho Pacific Navigation Company to run a steamer direct from Portland to Tillamook Is a move In the right direction, and the remarks by Mr. Wilcox make very pleasant reading and look exceedingly nice on paper. All that we hope Is that the Intentions of the Pacific Navigation Company will be car ried out, for a regular steamboat service will be a great advantage. People are somewhat Inquisitive to know why an agent of the O. B. & N. has been in quiring into the freight situation in thl3 county .the past two weeks. Perhaps TH lamookers may see something develop in the transportation business which will surprise them yet. Kentucky Special Elections. FRANKFORT, Ky.. July 3.

Arms for Force in the Orient. BETHLEHEM, Pa., July 9. A special El TREATMENT CATARRHAL AFFECTIONS What Summer Means in the Cure of Lung Troubles If Dr. Copeland were asked what medi cal training would accomplish the great est good, he would unhesitatingly say: "The lesson to those with enfeebled constitutions, weak lungs, or a tendency to Bronchial Troubles or Consumption, of the vital opportunities that Summer of fers them." The best teaching Is the teaching that will save the most lives. And this lesson to those with the slight est predisposition to Consumption will save more lives than any that could be taught In the Summer, bronchial diseases may be more speedily cured; with Nature help ing the work, the result Is more certain; after the cure the constitution resumes Its normal condition more quickly; those so feeble that they should not even ex pose themselves to the weather during the Winter may visit the offices, and are helped In the progress of treatment, rath er than Injured by the exposure to out door air. With many of the more serious cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis ease, invaded the bronchial tubes which convey the air to the lungs, has taken Its advance Into the tissues of the lungs themselves, has reached the end of the road lined with the mucous membrane upon which It lives and feeds, and, find ing no new tissue, settles down to feed upon the lung cells with many of thesa serious cases, treatment during tho Sum mer months la the only hope. Little If any help can be promised them during the Winter. It is then during the Summer that th danger of catarrhal extension Into the deeper part of the bronchial tubes or lungs may be averted. It is then only during the Summer months that those more desperate cases involving the lungs themselves may bo treated with any hope. How It Cures Deafness. Here Is another patient who for years had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold seamed to stay longer than former colds, and he noticed that his ears got stopped up and his hearing became duller and duller, and there were ringing and buzz ing noises in his ears. The Catarrh had passed upward and backward from the throat along the Eustachian tubes leading from the throat Into the ear. He had visited throat doctors, and ear doctora and catarrh doctors, without relief. In this condition we find him inhaling tho never-failing medication and soon he no tices a change. The noises In the ear stop, there la no other discharge, the hearing gets better and finally the tubes of the ears open up and something seems to give way in the head. His hearing had completely returned. No wonder ha considers the result a marvel. How It Cures Lung Diseases. Here Is another pitiful case. He had all the history of colds and catarrh ex tending downward from the nose to the throat, to glottis, to windpipe, to the bronchial tubes, and then Into the small tubes of the lungs. His cough always troubled him. He raised large quantities of vile-looking material, he had fever every afternoon and could not sleep at night. He had no appetite and his strength and ambition failed. He had night sweats every once in awhile, and feared that his end was near. See him after a course of treatment. A new man. The healing and soothing medication has time after time sought out every nook of the disease, oven to the extreme depth of the lung cells, and bathed and cooled and healed the mem brane. There are no more of the foul discharges, no more cough, no more fe ver, no moro pain, no more night sweats. The appetite returns, and with it comes back strength and ambition. The cheeks fill out and regain their color. The step becomes buoyant. He has been saved from lingering but absolutely sure death. Dr. Copeland1 j BooK Fret to AIL and Washington h.
