THE MORNING OREOONIAN. SATURDAY. AUGUST 2, 1902.
STILL MORE QUAKES
Shocks at Los Alamos, Ca!.,
Continue.
DISTURBANCES LESS SEVERE
Reports "of Damage Greatly -'Exaggerated
Many People Have Xnr
xoyr Escapes JtromrIeatli -Cause
of 'the Shocks.
IX3 ALAMOS, Cal., Aug, I. The re
ports telegraphed from this place and
other 6ectlons of Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo Counties, telling of the
enormous damage .done here by the se
ries of earthquakes which have visited
this county and this vicinity in particular,
at frequent intervals since July 27, have
been greatly exaggerated. It is an un
deniable fact that the number at earth
quakes has been -unprecedented, and some
of them more or less severe, but as to the
reports of great fissures in the earth,
upheavals of the earth and similar stores
of havoc -wrought, it is only charitable to
say that they are untrue. Within the
limits of Los Alamos the property damage
will not exceed ?4000.
Several slight shocks -were experienced
today, but no damage beyond further dis
maying the inhabitants of this little town
resulted. Shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning there were two. Several
"buildings not already destroyed -were bad
ly cracked,, one immense structure belong
ing to Juan Careaga, a short distance from
los Alamos, being turned partly around
on its foundation. A few minutes past U
o'clock today two more shocks occurred.
The grammar school building was badly
damaged, Plastering was knocked from
the walls and the interior filled with de
bris, desks, chairs, blackboards, the
furniture being thrown to the center of
the room in a great heap.
Newspaper correspondents from all sec
tions of the state have flocked to Los
Alamos, and the town has about as many
newspaper and scientific people as resi
dent Inhabitants.
People from Lompoc and outlying dis
tricts have reached Los Alamos with
stories of havoc in the hills. A great
landslide, carrying down hundreds of
tons of earth, occurred near the Hoover
ranchb. The road from Lompoc was
hurled for 50 feet. As far as the eye can
reach from this grade there are white
spots on the mountain sides, indicating
where huge boulders were sent thunder
ing down to the valleys.
John R. Drum, a mountain farmer, re
ports a road-destroying landslide In Drum
Canyon. The faces of the hills are
charged with noises which Drum de
scribes as the most terrifying sounds he
ever heard.
The oil wells around the town of Los
Alamos seem not to have suffered. The
Careaga wells, owned by Los Angeles
capitalists, are located five miles from
here, and fears for them filled the minds
of all as the seismic disturbances In
creased. v The casing of the wells, 10 In
number, are almost 2000 feet into the
earth, yet not a well has yet been in
jured. Since tho beginning 'of the earthquake
shocks the temperature here has been
most oppressive, as much heaf appar
ently coming from the earth as from
the sun, which, for the most part of the
time, has been shining brightly.
Miss Mamie Leslie, in charge of the.
telephone office here, has remained at her
post, although her family has sought a
place of greater safety. She is the
daughter of a prominent attorney.
Professor Larkln, of Mount Low Ob
servatory, arrived at Los Alamos this
evening. Over the telephono he stated
the disturbances are of a nature known
as oscillatory earthquakes, and are of
a common nature. He says it is
quite probable they are due to the sud
den displacement of immense beds of
gases, seven or eight miles beneath tho
surface of the earth. While the country
about Los Alamos gives evidence of once
having been the spene of great volcanic
action, he observes nothing to indicate
that another calamity of that nature ia
likely to occur.
Professor HJlgard, of the agricultural
department of the University of Cali
fornia, who telephoned Attorney Leslie
advising him and the people of Los
Alamos to desort their homes for places
of safety, and whose statements have
been attributed to President Benjamin
2de Wheeler, under a misapprehension.
Las- written Leslie stating the advice was
given as a precautionary measure and
not in anticipation of other earthquakes.
3 ARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Experiences of People In Buildings
Which Went Down.
LOS ALAMOS. Cal., Aug. L Several
narrow escapes from death are reported
as a result of the seirnlc disturbances In
this section. Arthur Foxen, a young man,
was asleep in a room at the rear of
Wickenden's store when the terrify
ing shock came last night. The. fall
of the big safe blocked his exit through
the door. He turned to the window, but
could not for a moment raise It. That
delay saved his life, for an instant after
ward the top of the rear wall crashed
down past the window, freeing Its fasten
ing, and giving him exit.
Dr-,H. C Bagby, of Santa Maria, was
sleeping in the home of Mrs. D. P. Whit
ney, an aged woman, when the earth
quake and the crash from the Wickenden
wall aroused him. His eyes saw an un
usual light, and with quick wit he de
cided that Mrs. Whitney had been read
ing by a lamp and that the lamp liad
been overturned. Without a thought for
his own safety he rushed upstairs and
found Mrs. Whitney vainly fighting the
flames and seemingly surrounded "by
them. Drawing her from her place of
peril he beat out the fire with the bed
clothes and thus saved a life and a large
part of the business section.
In the destruction of the adobe home
of Gasper Orena, a boy lay sleeping just
where a great V-shaped section of the
heavy adobe wall was twisted out and
cast aside, but he escaped unscathed.
All the family of Dr. Graham was away
when their house crumbled down. They
had gone north to bury one of their lit
tle ones, and so escaped death.
Small Active Volcano in Region.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1. For many
years there has been a small, active vol
cano on the Los Alamos side of the moun
tains, which lies between that place and
Santa Barbara. Smoke and steam con
stantly Isime from various fissures along
the summit of a plateau or shed near the
northern slope of the mountain. Viewed
from the distance of the old stage road,
these manifestations appear like emali
campflres. They have never developed
any alarming tendencies, and have at
tracted very little direct investigation.
MAY MEAX LARGE LIGHT PLAXT.
Flats and Xotes of Molulla River Im
provement Filed.
OREGON CITY. Aug. 1. (Special.) The
plats and notes of an Improvement that
may develop into a large electric light
plant were filed this afternoon In the of
fice of the County Recorder by Fred P.
Hurst, who represents the Aurora Water
way & Power Company, articles of in
corporation of which wore filed In Mar
lon County early last Spring.
The immense quantity t)f "fine timber
near tho head waters of the Molalla. and
the mineral deposits farther up in tho
mountains, attracted the attention of
Portland and Eastern capitalists, and ai
their request Mr. Hurst made an exami
nation and filed a plat of the stream.
Three months later a corporation was
formed, with a capital stock of 5100.0M,
to build and operate ditches, flumes, dams
and waterways for general power purr
poses and to Improve streams and rivers
for the purpose of floating timber, to
construct and operate electrical plants,
to erect poles and stretch wires thereon
and to conduct general improvement en
terprises. One of the heaviest stockholders of the
company was in the city this afternoon
and said the main object of the company
was to put In a big sawmill at the forks
of the Molalla, where the plant is to be
built. Its primary object was to run logs
down the stream, but this was finally
abandoned on account of the low water in
Summer.. It te now determined to put in
an electric light plant. The real object of
the company Is to run an electric line
from the plant, following closely the
course of the Molalla, to the railroad. If
constructed, this line will 'bo used for
commercial purposes alone.
The forks of the Molalla are about
eight miles from Wllholt Springs and 16
miles from Molalla Corners. The mines
In that vicinity are reported to be val
uable. Gold and silver together are found
in tho prospects. There Js no water In
the mountains where the mines are sit
uated, consequently electric power must
be utilized In their development. A "meet
ing of the stockholders of the company
will be held early next week to deter
mine how the water shall be .carried to
the proposed electric plant.

INSANE FROM ROBBERS' ATTACK.
Alaskan Prospector Is Denlt n.
Severe Blow on the Head.
SEATTLE. Aug. L Advices from
Alaska today state that Fred Cook, a
prospector, is insane as a result of an
attempt to murder him. Ho was at

PROTEST ON THE MERGER
SALEM WOULD DISSOLVE THE EU
GENE ALLIANCE.
Un-American to Associate Church
and State Capital Journal Slakes
Caustic Comment on Relation.
SALEM, Aug. 1. (Special.) Great Inter
est has been taken In the discussion
which has been going on through the
press regarding the questionable rela
tionship which has been shown to exist
between the Eugene Divinity School and
the State University. Many arc sur
prised to learn that the two schools are
so closely associated. Practically all are
agreed that the free discussion of the
matter will rcsulMn general good by In
forming the people of the conditions that
actually exist, yet the .large mijorlty of
those who take an Interest in tho discus
sion prefer not to express their views
through the press on one side or the
other.
There are those who believe that decis
lvo action should be taken at once to
sever the relations which now exist be
tween the two institutions. The Capital
Journal in a vigorous editorial this even
ing takes this view, saying that the ob
jections which have been raised are well
founded and that tho practice condemned
Is in direct violation of tho laws. In
speaking of the managers of the Divinity
School, the Journil editorially says:
What Is a still more remarkable admission
of their un-American attitude Is tho excitement
that prevails when tho matter Is even referred
to In tho public press. . . , The regents
should flro tho processors who permit thflr
names to be used to boom any particular brand
of theology. Tho Governor should nre the re
gents who sanction It.
There are others who beljeve that It Is
proper for divinity students tQ- he enrolled
as students In the university, but they
question the policy of allowing the morger
of courses of study which now exists.
Even those who believe the Divinity
School should be permitted to require
part of its studies to be taken In tho uni
versity are of the opinion that In other"
respects the state has gone too far In
aiding the Divinity School. The practice
of allowing university professors to de
liver courses of lectures In the Divinity
School is quite generally criticised and
few. If nny, defend It.
Attention has also been called through
this discussion to an act of the Legis
lature which makes the surprising declar
ation that it will be for the public good
for the Eugene Divinity School to confer
biblical jtnd theological degrees. Al
though the' Eugene Divinity School could,
without special authority of law, cqnfer
Its theological degrees, the Legislature of
1SS9 passed an act which reads, as follows;
Bo It enacted by the Legislative Assembly of
tho State of Oregon:
That hereafter It shall be lawful for the
Eugene Divinity School, a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Oregon, and located at Eugene In said
state, to confer upon the students of said insti
tution 6uch biblical and theological degrees
and diplomas as tho trustees of said corpora
tion may from time to time think fit and prop
er. In carrying Into effect and operation the
objects of Its charter.
The degrees and diplomas which may be con
ferred upon Its students shall b determined by
the trustees thereof, and shall bo conferred at
the tlmo Buch students shall have completed,
Ina manner satisfactory to the teachers or
faculty of said school the course of study pre
scribed therein ro entitle one to such degree or
diploma.
Inasmuch as said Institution has entered upon
the work specified In Its articles of incorpora
tion, and now has a large number of students
pursuing the course of study prescribed In said
school, and wishes to confer upon such stu
dents as may be entitled, under the provisions
of this act. certain biblical and theological de
grees and diplomas, to be determined In the
manner provided In section 2 ot this act. and
Inasmuch as the conferring of such degrees and
diplomas will be for the public good, and will
greatly aid and facilitate the benefits of said
school to the state at large, this act shall be
In force and effect from and after Its approval
by tho Governor.
It therefore appears that tho Eugene
Divinity School has a course of study,
part of which must be taken In tho State
University; that part of the divinity lec
ture courses are given by university pro
fessors and that the biblical degrees- arc
conferred by special authority of tho
State of Oregon.
The objection most generally heard
against the close relationship of the Df
vlnlty School and the university is not on
account of any particular injury or bur
den that arises therefrom, but on account
of tho un-Aroerlcan attitude and tendency
of such relationship and tho great danger
that the church school will gradually
secure closer connection with the state
school. It has been remarked by many
prominent men that public discussion of
the matter will check any such tendency
and keep the authorities on their guard
against Intrusion. Probably no one ad
vantage the Divinity School people have
secured would cause adverse comment,
but, as one man said today, the Divinity
School has received such varied recogni
tion and assistance by the state that it is
time a halt should be called and all ques
tionable relationship broken.
NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
William Benttle Upholds the Pres
ent Situation.
MOUNT VIEW, Or., July ZL (To tho
Editor.) In this morning's Oregonlan
there appears another editorial with refer
once to the so-called "relationship" be
tween the University of Oregon and the
Eugene Divinity School. It seems that
your worthy paper Is even surpassing the
ancient saying of "making a mountain
out of a molehill." There appears to be
not even a "molehill" or a shadow of one
regarding the uniting of "church and state
at Eugene." Indeed, It seems to" have
been a sort of mirage which appeared
upon the horizon, for the "opinion" of
Judge Bellinger, one of the regents of
the University of Oregon, who knows, or
ought to know, whether there is or Is not
any relationship existing between the uni
versity and any other school, tells us
plainly that "there Is absolutely no rela
tionship existing between the university
and the Divinity School" at Eugene.
Suppose that 15 or 20 students In Port
land Academy, which la practically a de
nominational school, should desire to take
and should tike one or more studies In
the Portland High School, which lives at
the public expense would that be estab
lishing any relationship between the tw.o
schools? There 1b no more relationship
between the two schools at. Eugene than
thero would be In this case, which
amounts to no relationship at aU.
It is also looked upon as dangerous that
the unlversjtyglveq credit for work done
In the Divinity School Wherein lies the
danger? The university gives credit for
work done in McMinnvillo College, a Bap
tist school: Willamette University, a
Methodist school; Pacific University, a
Congregational school; Mount Angel Col
lege, a Catholic School, or Albany College,
a Presbyterian school or, indeed, from
any other school that does the required
work. Why, then, discriminate against a
Christian Church school? Merely because
It Is located only 10 yards from the uni
versity, while the others may be 50 miles
away?
It Is also stated as a fact that the Di
vinity School Is receiving financial sup
port from tho state. To sustain this point
It Is said that members of the faculty of
the university are catalogued to give lec
tures, or courses of lectures, n the Di
vinity School.
8o long as these members of the faculty
perform the work given them by the state,
Is their work outsjdc not a matter of pri
vate concern? During almost any college
year members of the faculty of the uni
versity may be found teaching Bible
classes In the various churches of Eu
gene. Now, arc we to presume that those
churches are receiving financial aid from
the state? It miy be said that these are
not parallel to the case In question. Yet
the principle involved Is much the same.
The faculty member Is elmply using his
rights as an Individual after he has per
formed his duties to the stater
The fear that "denominational Influences
will gain In power through the student
body," etc.. Is like fearing that a brood
of peaceable young ducka will Influence
a flock of chickens to take to the water.
We have heard that when there were up
wards of 300 students In the University
of Oregon there were fully 20 students
enrolled In the Eugene Divinity School,
and probably more than half of tlfese were
also students In the university. We are
also Informed that none of these 10fcor
more students held any office in the stu
dent body.
The writer believes that the students of
Oregon colleges are themselves opposed
at nny and all times to any tendency
toward uniting church and state. In this
case, however, they will certainly retire
from reading of a union of "church and
state at Eugene" very much, as a group
of firemen return to their quarters after
responding to a false alarm of fire.

was looking for in the editorial of July 29
Is probably found In tho word "relation

SLANG CANDY.
What Has Supplanted the Old Senti
mental Inscription.
Detroit Free Press.
"It takes a vigilant and determined
person to steer clear of slang these diys,"
remarked a man who likes to study the
signs of tho time. "We have slang nov
els, slang essays, slang poetry, slang
songs, slang plays, and slang art of vari
ous kinds.
"The latest slang manifestation, how
ever. Is slang candy. Haven't you seen
it? It is on sale at many candy stands.
Do you remember the old-fashioned, flat,
scalloped, diamond or heart-shaped can
dy lozenge, ornamented with sentimental
words, such as 'Sweetheart,' 'My Own
True Love.' 'Faithful to Thee,' 'Ever
Thine,' nnd so on? We used to pass these
complimentary lozenges around at little
gatherings when I was young, and much
harmless but deeply fervent lovemaklng
was carried on by means of such simple
tokens.
"The pink and white candy lozenge of
the presont day, however. Is a degenerate.
It Is much smaller in size, although still
scalloped, and the phrases stamped on Its
surface are below the dignity of genteel
member of the lozenge family. The words
you read now on the candy lozenge are as
follows: That's What,' 'My Best Girl,
'Rubberneck.' 'Move On,' 'Sure,' 'Bat
Them Out 'My Size,' 'Do You 3lke7'
'Gee Whiz,' My Baby Lou,' 'Guess Not,'
Just So,' 'Come Again,' 'That Face,' and
so on."
"How curious," commented the man
who was listening. "We live in a slang
age, don't we?"
"Sure," answered the man who was
down on slang; and then, with a sud
denly reddened face, he began to talk
about 17-year locusts.

KEEPER OF FISH-RECEIVING SCOW
- . RELIEVED OF $400.
ATrakened fcy Two Masked Men ea
the Ruse That They Wanted
to Sell Salmon.
ASTORIA. Aug. 1. (Speclal.)-One of J.
Lendenbergcr's flsh-fereivlng scows was
robbed some time last night, and $400 se
cured. The scow was anchored near
Chinook, and was In charge of J. W.
Leonard. About 2:15 this morning Leon
ard was awakened by some one rapping
on the door of the scow, and getting up
he found two men outside In a fishing
boat. One of the men asked If he want
ed to buy some fish, and Leonard replied
"Yes," and turned to go to his room
after a lamp. As he did so one of the
men grabbed him from behind, while the
other thrust a revolver against I1I3 face
and told him not to struggle or he would
be killed. The two men, who were
masked, then tied Leonard's hands be
hind his back, tied his feet together and
threw him on his face In a corner. They
then opened a trunk where Leonard kept
his cash and took from It about $420, the
exact amount of which within a' few dol
lars Is not known, and getting Into their
boat rowed away. The robbers did very
little talking while at the scow and Leon
ard can give but a meager description
of them on account of the darkness. Af
ter the departure of the men Leonard
tried to free himself but was unablo to
loosen the cords. He however rolled him
self to the open door, and although his
head was covered with a blanket, his
cries were heard by some fishermen who
were passing In a boat, and they released
him. A reward of 5100 has been offtred
by the owner of tho scow for the capture
of the robbers, but there Is little chance
of the reward being earned, Only a few
weeks ago another of Llndenberger's
scows, stationed at Point Ellis, was
robbed, much In the same manner, and
over ?2C0 was taken.
THEIR HEADS NEARLY BLOWN OFF
Two Men Badly Injured While Play
Ing With Powder.
ASTORIA, Aug. 1. (Special.) Two men,
Al Abel and Jess Cheshire, nearly had
their heads blown off here this afternoon
In an attempt to burn some powder. One
of the men had been given about a pound
of powder to throw overboard, but he and
his companion decided to burn It if pos
sible. It having been damaged. They
spread the powder out on the street and
ignited a fuse that had been attached to
It. As it did not burn immediately they
approached, and while their faces were
over the powder It exploded. Cheshire
had his face, ears and hair badly burned,
while Abel had his mouth open and In
haled some of the burning powder. The
latter's condition Is critical and he is
not expected to recover from the shock.
Abel's home Is in Eugene and he was in
the Philippines with the Second Oregon.

GOUTY YOUNG MEN.
Effects of HIrIi Living: In New York
j City Plainly Shown.
New York Sun,
"There's another new gout factory gq
ing up." said a man strolling up Fifth
avenue as he called his companion's at
tention to a new clubhouse nearing com
pletion. "There Is more gout In this town
every year, and the Increase Is largely
right on the avenue.
"And the Increase Is not at all In pro
portion to the increase In population. It's
away ahead of that. Ifo In proportion,
rather, to the Increase in club member
ship and to the Increase In the receipts
of the fashionable restaurants and cafes."
By this time the pair had reached an
other clubhouse In front of which was a
long line of cabs.
"There's a contributing cause," con
tinued the man as he pointed to the cabs.
"The cab habit knocks out what little
chance the average club man has for
exercise. If he would only walk home
once In a while, after all his dinner and
all his wine, the exercise would do a lit
tle to help along digestion and gout might
leave him alone a year or two longer.
"But he won't. He tak,es a cab If he
has only two blocks to go. Just from
force of. habit.
"Of course, all this talk about the in
crease In gout appljes only to the city
and only to a limited part of the city's
population. It's different In other parts
of the country. In New England, for in
stance, where wine drinking ae a regular
habit ls..practlcally unknown, where they
drink water with their meals, and where
they take all of their alcohol In rum or
whisky." -
An uptown physician was told about
this statement to the effect that gout is
on the Increase in this city, and was
asked If It was true.
"It certainly Js," he said. "Gout and
its allied disease are increasing In the
higher walks of life. That Is bt--cause
there are more clubs and more excesses,
and because men go In for these excesses
earlier In life than was formerly the cus
tom. "There Is a general prevalence of alco
holism due to the constant taking of
wines and other artificial beverages in
non-lnebrlating quantities. The system is
kept salurated.
"Digestion Is Interfered with so that
Instead of fine 'ashes' and emoke, easily
and comfortably eliminated as a final
product of digestion we hnve only by
products of clinkers deposited in the tis
sues And circulating In the fluids of the
body, causing pain and Inflammatory
phenomena, which we classify In a hroad
sense as gout.
"This Is due largely, of course, to the
drinking of wine, especially champagne
and the heavy red wines, ale and beer.
Wine contains extractives, certain unde
fined Ingredients of the grape, which in
terfere very materially wth the digestion.
"AH wines are ncld, the acidity being
due, practically, to the acid salt, bl-tar-trato
of potash. If the acidity Is due to
potash salt It 1(3 difficult to understand,
under our, present theory of gout, how

"There Is not enough sugar in even the
so-palled sweet champagne to do any
harm. Tho truth is that sweet cham
pagnes are fortified champagnes, and It Is
probably the added alchohol. which the
added sugar is Intended to mask, that
does the narm. Natural wines are dry.
"So far as gout Is concerned, rum and
whisky drinking Is nowhere near so dan
gerous, as wlne-drlnklng. ,
"Why, eight or nine years ago there
was a regular gout scare among club men
In this city. When champagne was
brought on they turned their glasses up
side down and wouldn't touch It for fear
of tho gout.
"But they got over the scare. They
came to the conclusion that the danger
was in the sugar In champagne, so went'
to drinking dry wine. But, in my opinion,
that Is about as bad.
"Gout today -amonjr men bet-Men 33
and 40 years old is common. Between 43
and 50 it is very common. I have known
a numoer ot men to get gout by. the time
they were 30, and I know of one victim
not over 25.
"Rich foods are more responsible for
gout, than the wine, although practlcally
the two always go together. The -human
stomach Is a long way behind modern
cookery, and it will never catch up.
"There 13 too much variety. Wc can't j

"the farmer, the soldier and the sailor

They barely have gout."
The doctor was asked If this Increase
In gout and other troubles Incidental to
high living was a serious Indication of
general deterioration.
"Oh no, not at all, he replied, hopefully.
"There Is always something to mllltale
against the general physical welfare. If
It Isn't gout It's something else.
"But tho city-born and city-bred man
or woman doesn't amount to much In the
long run. Of course, there are exceptions
to that, but as a. rule we get our able
citizen from the country, where wine Is
never heard of. And generally these coun

THE COLOR OF WATER.
Its Varying Shndcs Are Due to Two
DiHtlnct Causes.
Success.
Recnt Investigations of natural color In
water show that It Is due to two distinct
causes vegetable stain and suspended
matter. When the latter Is present in ap
preciable quantity it causes turbidity and
L Is not a real pigment. The true color or
dlsh brown, and Is due to decayed plant
growth; the suspended matter Is generally
mineral and often contains Iron. The color
acquired by water at the bottom of a deep
pond Is largely due to this cause.
Experts have adopted a method of stat
ing the depth of color in water by com
parison with a mixture of platinum and
cobalt, the color produced by one part of
platinum to l.OCO.OOO parts of water being
taken as the unit.
Thus It has been shown that the color of
surface water depends both on the char
acter of the neighboring vegetation and
on the time that the water remains In
contact with it. Water near steep rocks,
wherf. there are few trees, will generally
be below 20 units In color: steep wooded
or cultivated slopes give 20 to 50 units;
similar but gentler slopes, from 5 to 100,
and swamp areas, 100 to 500, or even
higher. Highly colored waters are mora
common In the Northern States' than In
the South. Colored water Is gradually
bleached by sunlight, the action taking
place chiefly within one foot of the sur
face. The study of color In water 13 ot
commercial Importance, because most peo
ple object to drinking brownish water.
Hence, In a town water supply the color
must either be removed or Its formation
must be prevented. The latter Is often
the most economical thing to do, and It
may be accomplished by Intercepting the
water from the uplands and leading it
Into the streams without letting it pass
through the swamps.
Filtering through sand will not remove
the color irem water, and even clay will
take It out but partially. Generally the
water must be altered chemically, as by
mixing with sulphate of aluminum, which
coagulates the coloring matter. The color
may also be removed by oxidation, as with
permanganate of potash, or by ozone, but
this method is not much In use at pres
ent. The question Is largely one of es
thetics, as natural coloring matter In
water Is rarely harmful.

There Is a certain cure for these dis
eases without resorting to those unpleas
ant and painful methods still used by
many, which aggravate, rather than give
relief. With the same certainty as that
of a perfect diagnosis, I adapt my special
French treatment to the radical cure of
Stricture, Prostatls,
Inflommntion of the Bladder,
Private Disorders, Varicocele,
And nil Gcnlto-L'nlnry Diseases
It affords Instant relief. I remove every
vestige of disease wltohut resorting to
those painful processes usually employed
and which do not give satisfaction. It Is
not reasonable to suppose that a man can
exercise the essential functions while the
urinary channel Is blocked by stricture
or other disease, which destroys the vital
power and which becomes more aggravated
under improper treatment. These diseases,
while they last, always detract from the
sexual and bladder functions, and an early
cure Is always advisable.
