WITH THE ELECTRICIANS- In Belgium the telephone system is opero sted by the government. It is announced that the United States lighthouse board will introduce electric lighting in the lighthouses along the great lakes. The commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia have ordered that all the theatres in Washington must be equipped through- out with electric lights. The proposed underground electric rail- ways for London, if sanctioned, will be 16 feet under the Thames, 68 feet beneath Regent’s Park and 85 feet below Oxford street. It is said that the telephone demonstrat- ed its usefulness in a new and very satis- factory manner during the recent strike at- Buil'alo, by being used to gather soldiers from all over the state. Companies every- where were summoned together and started for the scene of the trouble in very short spaces of time. . The question of an antidote for an elec» tric shock is now being agitated. An ama- teur investigator is reported to have found that the insertion of aromatic spirits of ammonia into the body of a.hird which had received a shock from an electric wire brought the animal back to life after all signs of animation had disappeared. The ostal telegraph system of Great Brit- / _ 7.. THE mini ciss. Further Details of the Sensation at Gravenhurst. A Prominent Physician Interviewedâ€"â€" Science Has its Sayâ€"â€".leost a Resur- recuon. >(Toronto Mail.) (From Our Own Reporter.) Gaavssnrrrsr, Sept. 30.â€"Further inves- tigation discloses the fact that there is hard- _ly anything else spoken of in this town but Sam Murray’s wonderful recovery. His case is considered marvellous, and no cure at the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre ever startled people like his case has this section of the community. In the hotels you hear his name mentioned, and being welLknown along the difierent towns on the Northern railway, Murray's case attracts unusual in- terest. Dr. Cornell is one of the most popular men in Gravenhurst. He runs a large drug store, and has a very extensive practise. He stands high in the medical profession, and is Grand Trunk physician for that sec- tion. His drug business is one of the larg- est in Northern Ontario. He was seen at his oflice. He said: “I have known Mur- ray for a long time. He was employed on the Grand Trunk railway as brakesman for several years. His fingers were crushed, and being one of the Grand Trunk physi- -. ‘ _ . ‘ ‘ ’. _ _â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~..\i. J‘ -Cll‘l‘l‘lk'll. Send for Illustrated Circular of our "New Taller Sys- tem."

The only way to account for it is that they,sell on their merits. Those who use them tell their friends about them and they are ad- ?How are you ” :Nicely, Thank You.” Thank Who?” “Why the inventor of vertised in that way. These pills are a new departure in medicine. The formula has been used successfully by one of the most eminent pecialists in the world for the cure of kidney diseases. But his serv~ ices are only available for the wealthy. and even if the formula were known to all prac- titioners could not be made up by the drug stores, for special facilities have to be ar- ranged for compounding them: Hitherto kidney remedies have been put up in liquid form. A certain percentage of alcohol has to be put in such mixtures to keep the medicine. This alcohol. it has been time and again demonstrated, counteracts the beneficial effects of the drugs contained in the mixture, for there is nothing worse for the kidneys than alcohol, and it defeats the objects for which the remedy is intend- ed. \Ve obviate this difficulty by having the active principles only of the drugs put up in concentrated form in the shape of a pill, which is easily taken. They are neatly put up in boxes with the trade mark ‘ Dodd’s Kidney Pills ’ on each box, and are for sale by all druggists and dealersinmedi- cines at fifty cents per box. \Ve will mail them direct on receipt of price.” From these interviews with and the in “in 9'" Ireland is “owi il’ is “i‘l' the mo“ cians I looked after his case.

It is specially applicable for doors in private and business houses, and oflices where absolute privacy is needed or desired. The lock is operated by simply turning a switch. Thus the occupant of aroom may instantaneously admit a person, and as instantaneously lock the door on his egress without leaving his chair, as the switch can be placed close at hand. According to Electrical Industries, the total number of electric roads in the United States, Sept. 15, 1892, was 469, with a capi- tal stock of $205,870,000. The number of miles was 5446, on which there were oper- ated 7760 motor cars and 3790 trail cars, Taking the census of 1890, it is found that Massachusetts has 5448 inhabitants to a mile of railway. This state leads the country in this respect. Minnesota is close, to Massachusetts, having 5800 people to the mile of electric raliway. California has 7191 : Ohio, 7345 ; Texas, 3373 ; New York, 11,468, and Illinois, 14,604. Armour & Co. have adopted a novel idea of connecting the different houses and de- partments of their establishment at the Chicago stockyards by an electric railroad. Heretoforo pork and other products ofthe packing houses have been moved from place to place by men with wlieelborrows or in barrels. The electric line does away with the vast amount of work required by the old method, and greatly adds to the work- ing facilities of the Armour plant. Every product or other thing to be moved about the yards is put on board the little cars and shipped to any department of the packing houses. The system is simple. It does not interfere with the workmen, and has proved to be one of the most valuable of the modern improvements introduced in the packing business in recent years. I'BRSIANS HAD HORSE RACES. The Modern Sport Known In England Only 275 Years Ago. Horse racing undoubtedly began with the use of the horse, for that animal ap- pears to enjoy racing as much as does his master. The Persians probably conducted the first regular races. The Greeks intro- duced chariot races in their Olympian and other games. These races were very spirited and gave , publiin paragraphs that he was not expect- I ed to live over night. Every week we ex- satisfaction to the crowds of spectators in proportion to the number of chariots which collided. with the result of killing horses, drivars and spectators. As the s ectators stood on the ground and crowds closely about the small circular tracks they fre- quently contributed to the interest of the races by aliowin a few of their number to be run over and 'illcd. The Romans patronized chariot racing and also introduced mounted races. The jockeys rode without saddles, wore colors and received handsome prizes for their skill and daring. Circus tricks were features in these contests. Horse racing in Erauce was common in the 0th century. In one case the winner received for a prize the band of a titled! lady. In the lid) and 13th centuries regu- isr tracks were built and running races held in England. he kept poking about and took three or four other spells. He was then confined to his house, and later on took to his bed. Boils and eruptions broke out on his legs and arms, neck and face. and his blood was in a very bad way. He kept gradually gettingworse, and everybody thought he would die. ' He complained of his back very much. Iattributed his disease largely to overwork. I believed he would never be able to resume his duties again. He was paid his total disability claim by the Grand Trunk at that time.” “How does it come that he is about and working again?” “\Vell, you see as a professional man I hardly like to say. It might look as if I were lending myself to some advertising scheme, and I would rathebnot say any- thing on that subject.” “ But, doctor, that is not fair. Does Sam Murray know what cured him ‘2” “Well, he says, and everybody says, it was some pills he bought here that cured him. ” “What pills, doctor. Do you know the name of them?" i - “ There you go again. Now, I said I did not want to put myself in a false position before the profession.” “ But he bought the pills in your drug store. \Vhat pills were they ‘2” " “Well, I’ll tell you the truth, they were Dodd's Kidney Pills, and remember, I want you to say, if you say anything about me, ‘ this is the truth. Sam got the pills here, and he says they cured him. I have sold a lot of them to others and they all speak highly of them.” " Doctor, would you as a physician pre- scribe these pills in your practice for kidney troubles?” “ Yes, I would. Knowing the active principles of the pills they are such as I would prescribe to patients suflering from kidney troubles, for they are both a tonic and a diuretic.” “ Doctor, is it true that diseased kidneys poison the blood?" “ Yes, the blood gets full of uric acid." “ \Vill the curing of diseased kidneys cleanse the blood of uric acid and im- purities?” “ Well, it is only natural to suppose that if you remove the cause ofa disease you can expect a cure. " ‘ “ Do you consider Sam Murray’s case a remarkable one ‘3" “ Yes, I certainly do." A NEWS PA PE I‘- SI’A N. Fred Harbridge, of the Gravenhurst Ban- ner, was seen. He said: Sam Murray’s case is causing a good deal of talk. We used to ected his death notice. Sam got hold of )odd's Kidney Pills through a little book that was dropped into his house called Kid~ ney Talk, and he took the pills and is as ' well as over. When he was that bad that part of his life insurance was paid by the Grand Trunk you may judge he was pretty low. He recovered so rapidly and miracu- loust that everybody is talking about his case. We had something in the paper about it. There is no denying that he is cured, and that Dodd's Pills did it. Anybody in Gravcnhurst will tell you that. a GRAXD TRUNK OFFICIAL. Mr. J. T. Torrey, Grand Trunk agent at Gravcnhurst, was seen. Mr. Torrey is a middle-aged inan,and a great- favorite in the place. He was asked if he knew Murray, and he said “ Yes.

Smith 3: Co., manufacturers of Dodd’s Kid‘ ney Pills was seen at their place of business in Toronto. He was very busy but was willing to speak of the Murray case. He said in answer to some ouestions. “ Yes, we have heard of Murray‘s wonderful core at Gravenhurst through taking our Dodd's Kidney l‘ills. But his case is only one of many. Here are several others just as start- Banner are true in every particular. Not only does Sam Murray himself speak out, but his evidence is supported by document- ary proofs and also by Dr. Cornell, awell known physician in Gravenhurst, the mayor of the town, the station master, and others, Also that Dodd’s Kidney Pills efl'ectcd his cure after the case had been given up as Dr. Harveys Southern Red Pine for con he and colds is the most reliable and erect cough medicine in the market.
