DR. BMn REFUTES
MANY FALLACIES
Local Physician Makes Nota
ble Contribution to Med
ical Knowledge.
HIS WORK ON OXALURIA
In Address Before International
Congress Shows That Dietary
Treatment for Nervous Dis
eases Should Be Modified.
Of signal scientific importance in the
field of medical re&oarcb. Is the Inter
eating announcement of one of Portland's
leading physicians, that vegetables and
frulte which abound with such riotous
profusion In this state need not be ex
cluded from the diet of patients suffering
from nervous ailments. On the other
hand such palatable articles of diet may
be prescribed with full assurance of their
salutary effects.
The disclosures are made by Dr. Gus
tav Baar, of this city, who was one of
the three American specialists who at
tended the recent International Medical
Congress at Vienna. At that momentous
conference, Dr. Baar gave the assembled
delegates the benefit of his exhaustive
and Independent researones into the mys
teries ot "Oxalurla," over the nature of
which there has been much-to-do since
his arrival In New York.
Dr. Baar, who has been abroad for the
past four months, returned home yester
day, accompanied by his sister. Miss
Beatrice Baar, of Vienna, who contem
plates an extended visit to Portland. The
work of Dr. Baar at the Congress and
his pains-taking preliminary investiga
tions were commented upon by the noted
savants present both for their profundity
and their exceptional value as original
contributions to medical scientific knowl
edge. HIb discoveries and disclosures
were strongly indorsed by the Congress,
with the result that there will probably
be a general revision of text-book trea
tises on the subject.
New York Interview.
Upon Dr. Baar's arrival in New
York last week, he was quoted as an
nouncing that at the recent medical
congress a new disease had been dis
covered known as "oxalurla." Since the
receipt of this dispatch in Portland, a
considerable tempest has been arousetf
among the local practitioners because
of Dr. Baar's remarks concerning the
new malady, thereby causing him no
little annoyance. In discussing the
subject yesterday, Dr. Baar said:
Too Much Notoriety.
"Not being a very assiduous reader
of daily papers, I was more than sur
prised to find myself, on my return
from Europe, the center of an unde
slred notoriety. While I am opposed,
on general principles as well as on
principles of medical ethics, to seeing
any doctor publish his scientific efforts
In a layman's dally paper, I am com-'
pelled this time, for more reasons
than one. to set things right which
have been distorted by a reporter.
"The excretion of oxalic acid in an
amount exceeding one-third of one
grain to one quart of water Is abnor
mal and Is called oxalurla, If it con
tinues for a long time. It is a well
defined disease. It was first diagnosed
by Professor Cantnl, of Italy, In 1872.
Of course, the medical profession knew
before that date that oxalic acid ap
peared In the secretions of the kidneys
occasionally. This latter condition Is,
however, of no importance in the
health of the Individual, and Is but a
symptom of various diseases. It needs
no further treatment. If, however, ox
alic acid continues to be excreted in
abnormal amounts. It must be put on
the same level of a metbollc disease?
as, for Instance, diabetes Is; with the
one difference only, that oxalurla "par
excellence" Is a disease which can be
easily and promptly cured. The wise
questioner on the editorial page of The
Oregonlan of July IS was much luckier
than I was in finding so many men
who knew all about It.
Bibliography Is Extensive.
"The literature on this subject is very
extensive, as is shown by the 35 pages
of my book on oxalurla, which are de
voted to merely mentioning the names
of the authors of the treatises on this par
ticular subject. The paper I read be
fore the Medical Congress In Vienna was
devoted mainly to tearing down many
fallacies copied from one standard text
book into another and causing so many
erroneous views on the subject among
the medical fraternity. Therein lies the
merit of the work which I have based
upon over 3000 examinations made for
this purpose. While heretofore, for in
stance, oxalurla was thought but a
symptom of neurasthenia. I found that
these two are entirely different diseases,
which, however, have many symptoms
In common. Many cases coming to me
with a diagnosis of nervous exhaustion,
'nervous prostration' or 'nervous break
down' proved to be oxaluria, which, if
vigorous muscular exercise were tried,
would recover rapidly, while the "Test
cure' applied before has proved a failure.
This is only one practical point of my
work done In that line. Another fact
I may mention is that while heretofore
most of the standard text-books pre
scribed a certain diet for oxaluria. for
bidding the patient to eat peaches, rasp
berries, cranberries, rhubarb, tomatoes
and many other things containing oxalic
acid. I proved that people of Oregon who
certainly consume a vast amount of
these food products, do not show more
than half the. percentage of oxaluria
cases reported from European hospitals
on people who live on the hospital food
there, which is certainly not very lux
urious. This point alone proves beyond
any doubt that we doctors have no right
whatever to deprive our oxalurla patients
of such food as mentioned above.
Many Fallacies Exploded.
"I could mention many other statements
of the standard medical books which were
proved by my work to be fallacious, like
the supposed interdependence of diabetes
and oxaluria, of Intestinal troubles and
oxalurla. etc.. but I do not wish to arouse
In the anxious reader's mind the same
feeling my chauffeur arouses In me when
ever he attempts to use big technical
terms In connection with my machine, to
wit. disgust. Suffice it to console every
body who suffers from oxaluria to state
that the cure is a most simple one and
can most positively be obtained within a
very short time. Any of my worthy
medlcai brethren who chooses to attack
me on tne basis of some distorted med
ical statement, produced by some Ignorant
penman, I must refer them to the trans
actions of the Medical Congress at Vienna,
appearing at Bergmann's, Welsbaden,
Germany, or to my book on oxaluria.
appearing at Vienna and Berlin, at Urban
and Schwartzenberg."
. Speaking of his trip abroad. Dr. Baar
said:
AVhere America Leads.
"I am ready to believe that America
leads the world. While I was at
Frankfort-on-the-Main the man who
sold me Frankfurter sausages, when I
asked him if they were genuine, replied
with a wink, 'Tney are made from Chi
cago meat.' I went to a shoe dealer
there to get a pair of good shoes. The
first I was offered were of American
make. I visited a tailor shop vto pur
chase a new suit of clothes and the
proprietor showed me the latest styles,
explaining that they were "the Ameri
can cut.' When I went to a concert
to listen to some muBlc one cool even
ing I felt quite at home, fdr I heard
one of the popular American airs there.
When I was asked what caused the re
cent panic. I replied that I knew of
none. When my questioner pointed out
the fact that so many laborers are re
turning to Europe, I promptly said to
him "We Americans are not going to
support the beggars of Europe. We
don't want them to send their money
home to their poor relatives for them
to pay the taxes to support European
governments. Keep your poor at home;
send us Tarmers only."
"America is bound to excel Europe
In everything, as she has at the pres
ent time obtained the lead in most
every line, except perhaps in the ap
plied arts and music. These two de
partments are bound to come within
the next decade.
"At the recent congress in Vienna
there were but three Americans present
Osier of Oxford, Pratt of Boston, and
myself. At the conclusion of the con
gress I visited the , hospitals of Mu
nich, Halle and Berlin for the purpose
of taking up special clinics."
y OFFERS DEFENSE
MOXTAVILIiA POLICEMAN DE
NIES CHARGES.
Committee Refuses to Hear Attack
on Reputation of Two Young
Women Accusers.
Policeman Matt P. Murphy, against
whom several men, women and children
living at Montavilla made a general
complaint of drunkenness and conduct
unbecoming an officer, put In his de
fense last night during a two-hour ses
sion of the police committee of the
Executive Board. At the conclusion of
the hearing the accused officer at
tempted to put in testimony tending
to show improper conduct on the part
of two young women who made seri
ous sworn statements against Murphy,
but the committeemen refused to lis
ten to the evidence, on the ground
that, if anything was wrong at the
home of the witnesses, it should have
been reported to headquarters previ
ously by the patrolmen on the beat.
The case was taken under advisement
after Lawyer Isaac Swett, for the de
fendant, made his argument. It is
probable a report on the matter will
be made to the Executive Board, which
meets next Friday afternoon.
Several witnesses, all of Montavilla,
swore that they had known Policeman
Murphy since he was detailed on the
Montavilla district on the first relief,
and that they had never seen him un
der the influence of liquor. Among
these were William Deveny, who said
that the accused officer had been asked
by the Board of Trade to curb speed
maniacs on the Baseline Road, and said
that the officer's activity in this re
spect may have had something to do
with the charges. J. s. Sloane, C. T.
Evans, H. S. Chessman, W. E. Marshall,
E. B. Morelock and Policeman M. F.
Sloan, swore that Murphy had been
efficient and sober while on duty in the
district.
Mrs. A. Oilman, called by the prose
cution, swore that on the night of July
7. during a social session of the Arti
Bans. Policeman Murphy called and that
he had been drinking. A. D. Hill testi
fied that he had seen Murphy go to the
home of C. T. Evans on several occa
sions and remain probably an hour at
a time. Mr. Evans took the stand long
enough to explain that the officer was
there on official business and was wait
ing for Mr. Evans, and that the officer
never had a drink of liquor at the
home of the witness.
When the defense sought to secure
from Policeman Robson, who patrols
the Montavilla district on the shift
following Murphy, a statement tending
to involve the reputation of the two
young women 'who made a portion of
the charges, the committeemen Thom
as G. Greene and R. L. Sabln refused
to admit it as evidence, and the case
closed with the argument by Mr. Swett.

Schmidt, of the Dominican Church, gave
an eloquent address In German.
The orator of the day was W. A. Mun

he took up the theme of the church, its
work and the benefits derived by organi

received by the large audience. Remarks
on fraternal society work were made on

REPORT FAIR CROP
Cereal News From the Interior
Is Reassuring.
HURT BY HOT WEATHER
Wheat Yield In Counties Along Co
lumbia River Will Not Be as
Large as Last Year Other
Sections Heard From.
Crop news from the interior received
by the railroads yesterday were some
what reassuring, although they show
that the wheat yield of the Oregon
counties lying along the Columbia
River will be unusually short. How
ever, reports from the Walla Walla
country and the Palouse district as a
whole show an average crop.
Continued hot and dry weather In
Wasco County has shriveled the grain,
according to the railroad reports, and
the grade will be reduced on this account-
The harvest has been begun
and no further damage to Fall grain is
reported.
Extreme hot weather which began in
Sherman County last Saturday has
caused considerable damage to late
grain. The indications now are that
the crop will be about 60 per cent of
last year's yield.
Fall grain is ready to harvest In
Gilliam County, and will grade No. 1.
Spring wheat, which was given up for
lost last week, will make good hay,
and in some cases, fair grain.
Walla Walla wheat is in fair condi
tion. A crop estimated at 15 per cent
less than last year's Is expected.
Crops of all kinds are in good condi
tion in the Powder River Valley dis
trict of Eastern Oregon. Throughout
the Palouse country the cool weather
of the past week has increased the
yield of grain approximately 10 per
cent. The whole Palouse crop is now
placed at approximately 75 per cent of
list year.
RAILROAD TO AID STATE
Trackwalkers and Section Hands to
Guard Minnesota Forests.
CHICAGO, July 20. (Special.) The
operating department of the North
western Railroad will try to assist the
State of Wisconsin in the creation and
preservation of a great forest reserve
in the northern part of that state. Of
ficials of the company have consented
to hold two conferences with the State
Forestry officials early in August at
Antigo and Ironwood.
E. M. Griffith, Chief Forester of the
State, started the movement, and the
railroad officials are In hearty sympa
thy with the Idea. In brief, the pur
pose Is to create an auxiliary force of
forest guards, from the track-walkers
of the Northwestern. The Forestry
Chief hopes to have the track-walkers
and section foremen made special po
lice, with authority to assist In the
preservation of timber from Ares and
other dangers. Tho plan may be adopt
ed In other states, especially in the
Pacific Northwest, where millions of
dollars worth of timber are destroyed
by Are every year.
CUT RATES ON THE SOUND
Fare From Seattle to Vancouver Re
duced to 25 Cents.
SEATTLE, Wash.,' July 20. (Spe
cial.) The Canadian Pacific today an
nounced a 25-eent fare from Seattle to
Vancouver, the latest move in the bit
ter rate war which has been in prog
ress between that concern and the
Puget Sound Navigation Company.
The Canadian Pacific has for some
time had a big sign on its wharf,
reading: "Victoria, 25 cents; Vancou
ver ." The blank space haa aroused
considerable curiosity, which was ap
peased today when it was filled in
with the figures. "25 cents."
The rate to Victoria has been 25
cents for some little time. The rival
company will not meet the cut, but
will maintain its rate at $1. It Is pre
dicted that the rate fight will last
through the Winter, as there is no dis
position on either side to give in.
HARVEST ON IN PALOUSE
Winter Wheat Near Garfield Will Go
4 5 Bushels to Acre.
GARFIELD, Wash., July 2a (Special. 1
Sanford Manlng. one of Garfield's In
dependent grain buyers, has made a drive
over the wheat fields of this district and
tonight said:
'The harvest la upon us. and in a few
days the hum of the binder will be heard
all over, the Palouse. Winter wheat is
looking good and will make an average
yield of 35 bushels an acre. Many fields
will make 45 bushels an acre. On account
of the continued dry weather. Spring
wheat win not average more than 20 bush
els, although many fields will make 25
and even 30 an acre. The yield of oats
will be cut down not more than 25 per
cent."
