Modern and Cotemporary.
THE PEOPLE'S PALACE IN LONDON.
The Flower of the Literary Undertakings
of Editor Stead.
, PERIODICALS AKD TEEIfi COSTLNTS
Henry Charles Lea. of Philadelphia,
begins his paper in the January Atlantic, on
''The Lesson of the Pennsylvania Election,"
with this interesting analysis of the position
of the "boss" in American politics:
Among the various agencies of onr political
demoralization, not the least threatening is the
development of that perfection of organization
known as "the machine," of which the exponent
is the "boss." The boss is a product of natural
selection a man who by nature and training
rises above bis fellows in all the baser arts of
management: -who unites shrewdness and au
dacity with executive ability, and whose oro
f ouudest conviction Is the one so cynically ex
pressed by Senator Ingalls, that the Decalogue
and the Golden Rule have no place in politics.
Tho power ol tbebossis based largely on the
prostitution of public patronage the ability to
reward bis followers and punish his rivals by
distributing or withholding tbe spoils
of office, with tne single object ot
maintaining bis own ascendancy over
the henchmen who do his dirty work in
managing primary elections aud controlling
nominating conventions. In a community
where the machine Is highly developed, there
Is small chance for the expression of healthy
public sentiment. The avenues to public life
are closed to all aspirants wbo will not pledge
obedience to the bo-s; bonorablo ambition is
stifled; politics becomes a game of thimblerig,
and tbe interest of ibe people at large is the
last thing to be considered.
The compacting of the Pennsylvania ma
chine by Simon Cameron, and the bequeath
ing ot it as a precious heirloom to his son,
the Senator, and tbe stealing of it out of the
Senatorial bands by Matthew Stanley Quay,
and finally the very vigorous way in which
the independent voters proceeded to smash
the machine into small pieces a few months
ago, are all set down clearly, serenelv (for
was not Mr. Lea on the winning side?) and
with the same careful fairness which de
lights the reader of his history of the Inqui
sition Torquemada or Matthew Stanley
Quav here are the lads. Thus the men
who had the power behaved themselves, and
thus 2nd thus it tared with them in the end.
One of the shrewdest bosses that ever
lived was Talleyrand, whose Memoirs are
being now made ready for publication. The
Century Company has obtained the right to
publish one article of extracts Irotu each of
Jhe five volumes in advauceof their publi
cation in France,. The January Century
contains the first of these articles. Talley
rand himself wrote the story of his own life,
knowing, perhaps, from a long experience
that nobodr else would write it with any
kind of justice. He was accustomed to
abuse, and was as silent in the presence of it
as Matthew Stanley Quay. 2sapoleon once
denounced hint as a traitor and a bribe-taker.
As he retired from the royal presence, and
went composedly down the staircase, be
said: "What a pity that so great a man
should have been so badly brought up."
And nothing more!
Hut was he not a bribetaker and a treach
erous friend? Well, yes; there is probably
nodenjing t'lese uupleasanf accusations.
He did take bribes, unrilushingly. It was
only j ter payment ot $250,000, bluntly de
manded, tliut he would listen to the Ameri
can commissioners. And as for treachery,
what shall we say of this extraordinary
Vic.tr or Bray, who. under the Directory,
plotted for the coup d'etat of Napoleon, and
under Napoleon, plotted for the return ol
the Bourbons; and under Louis XVIII,
schemed for the accession of Louis Philippe?
And somehow was always on the winning
side.
Whiteiaw Eeid, who prefaces the extracts
from the Memoirs with an excellent, clear
summary ot Talleyrand's lire and character,
maintains that, traitor as he was to master
after master, he was never false to Prance.
He was Irom the beginning faithful to Tal
leyrand and to Prance! And lie did good
to France, France has reason to be grate ui
to 1)1 111-
lint we are to hear his own version of it
all. Written half a century ago, sealed up
by the writer's command for30years a gen
eration and kept still sealed by theprudence
or his executors until now, these remarkable
journals, supposed to contain most interest
ing secrets, are at last to be read hv all tl e
W.orld. Tnis month's installment does not
contain anything startling. Talleyrand
tells the story of his neglected childhood, of
liis unwilling entrance into holy orders, 01
bis beginnings ot social success in the draw-lnc-rooius
ot Pans, of his partin the French
Revolution, and 01 his prudent retirement
Irom the shock of that great storm, first to
England and then to America.
Talleyrand visited Philadelphia, and
made a perilous journey of explor
ation in the direction of these re
gions which we happily inhabit. "I
wis struck with astonishment," he says.
"Less th in 139 miles distance from the Cap
ital, all trace of men's presence disappeared;
wild nature in all its pristine vigor con
fronted us; lorests old as the world itself; de
cayed plants and trees covering the verv
ground where they once grew in wildness;
others shooting firth from under tbe debris
or the former, and like them destined to de
cay and rot; tnick and intricate bushes that
o ten barred ur progress; green and lux
uriant grass decking the banks of rivers;
some large natural meadows; some strange
and delicate flower quite new to me; and
here and there the traces of former tornadoes
that had carried everything before them;
enormous trees all mowed down in the same
direction, extending for some considerable
distance, bear witness to tne wonderful
character of those terrible phenomena."
'J h w.s -'darkest" Pennsylvania a century
ago I
After "darkest" one naturally writes
"Atrica." or "England." We must not
forget, in thinking about "darkest Eng
land," that some other people beside Gen
ral Booth are bringing light into
that black neighborhood. There are
churches vigorously at work there,
uplifting men and women. It was at
St. PcterV, London Docks, that Father
Louder did his brave, Christian service.
Aud others like him are lollowing along
that path. In a different way Toynbce Hall
and Ox'ord House are lending helping
hands. And fcualir, there is the People's
Palace, a most significant phenomenon,
which nobody who wants to know the truth
about East London can afford to overlook.
Iu the January Cosmopolitan, Miss Eliza
beth Bislahd has an admirable description
of this endeavor to arouse people into
righteousness. London, she sas, in a most
happy bird's-eye view of that metropolis, is
divided into three parts. In the center is
"tne city," on one side is the East End, on
the other the West End. As it the city
were the great throne of the Day of Judg
ment, and the people were set some on tbe
right hand and some on the left; here are the
rich, there are the poor. But the poor have
a "palace." Thants to Mr. Walter Besant
and his cheery, delight ul, inspiring novel,
"All Sorts and Conditions of Men," the
poor have a Palace of Delight.
Here itis, pictured out great hall.librarr,
reading room, and swimming room and
dancing room, and work shops. Every day
1,000 people ore at the tables of the reading
room, and on Sundays twice that number.
Every day classes are taugbt in a long list of
subjects by competent instructors at possible
prices. There are organ recitals, and lect
urer, and orchestras, and magic lanterns,
and calico balls, and flower shows, and don
key shows. This is the vt ise design of it all,
bs described in the plan of its Sounders.
The People's Palace, by lis library. Its music,
its pictures, its literature classes, and its techni
cal schools, will, it 19 hoped, offer to all tbe
means of thought aud knowledge, which feed
aspiration. Those wbo have not the knowledge
ot bitory easily become tho blind servants of
demagogues, and thns arc taught to seek rights
and not duties, and to become enemies to social
unit). Those who are ignorant of literature
and the great thoughts that are tbe common
property of all ages find life dull, and are
tempted to take their pleasure to their own in
jury, or by the sacrifice ot the best
in others. Those whose eyes or
eats are untanght to accept tbe best in
art or mu'lc are apt to seek beauty in sensa
tionalism or joy in excitement, and thus they
become incapable or the gentler pleasures
which create ana foster home life; and it is
those who are Ignorant of science and its im
mutable laws whose lives sutler, whose health
becomes enfeebled, and whose children are
sacrificed to the great loss of the nation. All
alike want the knowledge which in any form
transmutes existence Into life.
Good words; trne for the East End of Lon
don and for all the ends of tbe earth. Add
now the spiritual upliiting which religion
brings, and you have it all. Booth and
Besantl What sloughs of despond may they
not drain and pave (like Booth and Elinn)
into solid highways!
There is a good deal about "Darkest En
gland in the Review of Reviews for De
cember. Indeed, there is a good deal about
everything under the shining sun in this
extraordinary magazine, in every number of
it. Here is an account of the progress of
tbe Salvation Army scheme, with the sub
scription list to date. And a full
account of Prof. Koch's discovery, in
cuding the discoverer's own account,
with pictures of the doctor, and his cotem-
poraries whose names are associated with
his, and even of the bacillus agtinst which
these physicians are fighting. The Parnell
trouble, the Baring Brothers money mat
ters, the year's caricatures in reduced fae
simile, and reviews and comments upon the
leading articles of all the magazines of
Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Austra
lia. Mr. Stead, who edits this review, and who
appears to write the whole of it, is the most
wide-awake man who breathes this nine
teenth century air. He is "up" to every
thing. Everybody knows how he exposed
the rascalities of English "aristocracy" in
the Pall Mall Gazette. Presently he went
to .Russia, and came back to write the clear
est statement that has been made about
the medievalisms of that backward region
"The Truth About Eussia." Then he
went down to Italy to interview the Pope,
and wrote "The Pope and the New Era."
Last summer, he visited Oberammergan, and
finding that there was no good up-to-date
libretto ot tbe play, he
prepared one, the very best there is. And
here is the Review of Reviews, which has an
account of everything that happen on the
planet New thinking, new books, new in
ventions and discoveries, new movements in
the life of the race here is the graphic,
condensed, impartial chronicle of them.
Mr. Stead is the friend to whom General
Booth referred in tbe preface to "Darkest
England," when he says:
I have also to acknowledge valuable literary
nelp irom a mend of the poor wbo, though not
in any way connected with the Salvation Army,
has the deeDest sympathies with its aims, and
is to a large extent in harmony with its prin
ciples. Without such assistance, I should
probably have found it overwhelmed as 1 al
ready am with the affairs ot a world-wide en
terprise extremely difficult, if not impossible,
to have presented these proposals for which I
am alone responsible. In so complete a form, at
any rate at this time.
The Rcvieio of Reviews is published in
this country by tbe Critic Company.
In the Popular Science Monthly for Jan
uary, Dr. Andrew D. White batters down
the Tower of Babel; M. de Quatrefages
writes of the peopling of America; W. H.
Larrabee considers the "Intelligence of
Cats."
Far and 2Tear is a capital paper, pub
lished monthly, meant lor Working Girls'
Clubs, admirably edited, lull ot suggestions.
Augustus Hoppin writes on "The Art ot
Cultivated Observation;" LucyLarcon has
a poem, and Grace Denio Litchfield a
story; besides the practical working matter
of the number.
In the January St. Nicholas, under the
title, "A Great Industrial School," an ac
count is given of the methods and accom
plishments of the Pr-.tt Institute of Brook
lyn, the largest industrial school in tbe
world; Charles Dndlev Warner has a good,
sensible, helpful "Talk About Beading;"
and of course there are pictures and pict
ures, and a host of other delightful enter
tainments for young readers.
1'inallv, in Ltppmcott s for January, ap
pears "The Light That Failed." A picture
of Kudyard Kipling serves for introduction
well done; a strong face, eyes looking out
keenly from behind classes; good work
promised in every line; as attractive as the
stories. One charm of Kipling's work is its
fresh background. Tbe action of this story
in Egypt for some chapters, with the ex
pedition which is marching to the relief of
Gordon. And the descriptions are marvel
ously done strong, with self-reliant hand;
lew lines, but these firm, telling, and in the
right places, like Carlyle. A capital story,
even in the estimation of The Critic.
LILLIAN SPENCER alinostknocked down
the King of Italy tho other day. In THE
DISPATCH to-morrow she will tell all about
an exciting episode in Naples.
A COMPANY OF THEIB OWN
To Be Formed by tbe Natural Gas Con
sumers of Coraopolis.
It seems, after all, that Coraopolis may
have a natural gas company of its own, pro
vided too much is not wasted in talking up
the organization. At a meeting held by
residents it was decided that a company with
25,000 capital should be formed, and the
idea is to purchase the Wilon gas well. It
is said it can be had for 810,000.
It is thought that the buying of this
roarer will secure beyond controversy the
location of a plate glass worCs and an iron
works.
OFF FOE BERMUDA.
Henry George Seeks a Change of Climate
for Needed Rest.
New Yoke, Jan. 9. Henry George, who
has partially recovered from his severe ill
ness, is about to take his departure for Ber
muda, where be expects to spend the re
mainder of the winter. His doctor says it
is necessary he should have a season of rest
in a mild climate and in some retreat "far
irom the madding crowd," and it is believed
tbat this can be found in the Bermudas.
Mr. George is not now connected in anv
way with the weekly paper which he for
merly owned.
ALEX STEVENSON DEAD.
One of the Early Manchester 'Squires Dies
From Consumption.
Alex. M. Stevenson died Thursday night
of consumption at his late residence, 226
Beaver avenue, Allegheny. He was 71
years old.
For a number of years Mr. Stevenson has
conducted a stationery store on Beaver
avenue. Between the years 1860 and 1870
he served two terms as 'Squire in Manches
ter, and has always been a prominent figure
in the politics of Lower Allegheny. He
leaves a wife and twd children.
TWO CENTS PEE 100 POUNDS.
An Advance in Bate That TVI11 Affect
Youngstown Shippers.
The Youngstown committee of freight
agents will meet in Cleveland on Monday to
advance rates to Dulutb, Sault Ste. Marie,
Minneapolis and common points. Eecently
the.Grand Bapids and Indiana road put up
rates 2 cents per 100 pounds, and refused to
take freight from its connections unless the
advance was paid.
It will not affect the rates from this terri
tory, but shippers from Youngstown will
have to pay the increase.
A New DIseaso Among Horses.
Oswego, Kan., Jan. 9. J. M. Grant,
of this city, former owner of Grant's Ab
dallah, has lost three fine brood mares in
the last few days, worth from 51,000 to 51,200
each, from a disease similar to blind stag
gers. Veterinary Surgeon Dr. J. M. Phil
lips, of Wichita, is here investigating this
new disease. His opinion is that it is caused
by germs in the corn, which causes inflam
mation of the brain. Others think it Is
caused from smut in the corn fields iu which
the horses have been running.

A CRANK'S ANTICS.
Ho Wraps His Overcoat About the Statue to
Keep It Worm.
New Yoke", Jan. 9. For half an hour
yesterday an eccentric visitor amused Wall
street He was a well-dressed man, full of
patriotic ardor and commiseration for the
brokers who are having such dnll times.
The patriotism found vent in a demonstra
tion in front of the sub-Treasury, and the
pity was exploited from a gallery of 'the
Stock: Exchange. The stranger first attract
ed attention by climbing up the sub-Treasury
steps and mounting the pedestal of the
statue of George Washington. Then he
carefully brushed away the snow from the
feet of the figure and piously kissed the
shoes. It struck him next tbat the costume
of the Father of his Country was not for
wintry weather, and to warm up the old
gentleman who has so long looked down
Broad street he wrapped his overcoat about
tbe legs of the statue.
By this time the usual crewd had gath
ered to watch the performance, and the
stranger gathered ud the garment which he
bad just devoted to such praiseworthy use
and started for the Stock Exchange. He
got into one of the galleries and there
made merry. "Five-dollar bills for
the poor brokers," said he, as he tossed
down a lot of pieces of paper. There
may have been some bills in the lot
but the visitonhad little time'to go on with
his antics. His doings tended to create
trouble, and in short order a special officer
escorted him to the outer air. The police
man took him to the Tombs Police Court,
where he gave his name as Eobert Dunlap.
He said he came from Australia. He came
to this city from Troy four days ago, stop
ping at the Gilsey House. He was com
mitted to Bellevue Hospital for examination
as to his sanity.
INVESTORS will find bargains in to-morrow's
DISPATCH. It gives all the news, too.
DESTITUTION IN KANSAS.
Settlers in the Western Part of the State
Suffering for Lack of Fuel.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 9. The State Board
of Railroad Commissioners is in charge of
the work of furnishing relief to destitute
settlers in Western Kansas and has invited
the co-operation of the various Kansas rail
roads, most of which agree to transport relief
supplies free. The State Board announces
tbat Eawlins county seems to be the center
of interest at present, owing to the immi
nent peril of hundreds of lives and the re
fusal of the only railroad in the county to
give free transportation to supplies., On
Saturday the Aid Commissioner at Atwood
wired the Eailroad Commissioners that the
Burlington and Missouri Elver demanded
full tariff rates on corn and coal.
As several cars were then en route for
which the people were suffering, the Com
missioners telegraphed the railroad com
pany an urgent appeal to desist from its de
mands. This was declined, and noticegiven
that hereafter no supplies would be trans
ported free. The board is now ordering sup
plies for this locality to be shipped to3oIby
by the Union Pacific or Bock Island
Railroad, and state that there is
great need of food, fuel and cloth
ing on account of the present cold
weather. The mine owners in Osage county
who have heretofore been quite liberal,
have resolved not to donate coal to the suf
ferers, on the ground that it may be stolen
or misappropriated, and further that the
State has a coal mine of its own from which
it should supply those unable to purchase
fuel. In view of this fact, the Legislature
is to be called upon next week to provide
tbe destitute with coal from the State mines
at Leavenworth.
THE DISPATCH has a Special Corre
spondent at the seat of the Indian War. It
will give you all the news at ail times.

Great Increase in the Enrollment nt the
Pittsburg High School.
The regular meeting of the High School
Committee of tbe Central Board of Educa
tion was held last night The report of the
principal of the High School was received
and filed. It showed the attendance last
month to have been 530 in the academical
department, 215 in the commercial depart
ment and C9 in the normal department
Over 600, it was stated, passed the prelim
inary examination for admission, about 60
more than last year. This indicates an in
crease in attendance, and as the building
is now filled to its utmost, it was recom
mended that the question of providing ad
ditional room be considered.
The only other business transacted was
the receiving ot requests for supplies and
the approving of bills.
A WIDE RANGE OP MUSIC

a waltz by Pettee, the always popular "Tres
Jolie" waltzes of Waldteufel, and numerous
other favorites and novelties. The vocal

one of these recitals, and some very excel
lent vocal music will be provided in the
future.

Truly, a great master's move! Black, by giv
ing up the knight for three pawns, acquires tbe
attack, and takes tbe right of castling from tbe
adverse king, besides puttiog him in an embar
rassed position.

Of great finesse and knowledge is this move,
which, to the majority of those who play chess
and think they know tbe game, would perhaps
appear worthless. It has three ends in view,
firstly, it tempts white to play Kt to Kt 5,
Initiating an attack apparently correct; In tbe
second place, it threatens tbe dangerous check
at B 4: and. thirdly, prepares to follow with P
B 3 and P Q, 4.

Here white roust have made something like
the following reflection: "Now, my opponent
will notbero foolish as to Cattle. leaving bis
Queen aproytomy Knight; therefore,bewill,for
Ins best, take, luy Kuignt with his King.
Thereunon mV Queen will capture his Kniirht
"Checking, and winning the King's Bishop,
gaining two pieces lor one; ana tnougn my
King is somewhat displaced, I shall not have
much to fear on tbat account." So far cor
rect, but be did not go far enough. The argus
eyed black, having examined tbe position for at
least ten moves ahead, saw tbat Castling was
not foolish, but justifiable, even though it sac
rificed tbe Queen.

demned alike by both old and modern authori
ties. Champion Smith made this move in no
reckless manner, bu- evidently to bring out
original play, claimingtbat by a new more It
corrects and breaks down all published play on
the game.
(b) The new move. It looks innocent.
(c) Right here as seen In game 2160, 15-10 was
played seennng only a draw. Possibly Gau

proof backed by the necessary figures before
wiping the 5-9 variation from their slates.

Black to move and draw.
Soma time since when Mr. Reed paid me a
visit, one evening, I referred to Mr. Smith's in
novation on tbe old Fourteenth, and be said
Mr. Smith called attention to tbe move when
in Spennvmoor, and he did not think very much
of it. I then showed him the Turf, with Mr.
Pierce's game and three variation', all showing
wbite wins. The champion ran over the truck
rapidly until he came to 1216 at d; tbat move
ought to loose, he said: It cramps tbe blacks;
wby not throw the man, thus 18, 101, then
run tbe man on 2 over to tbe side and steal tbe
piece on 27, drawing easily? This corrects the
trunk of Mr. Pierce's analysis, and the ap
pended variations on this account are not given.

And vaunt her charms tbrongh endless days:
Her beauties may be ne'er so rare.
But thine are all beyond compare.
Nor time, norrpace, can e'er efface

But each will serve as xunbearos bright.
And bring new beauties Into sight.

The Tarentnm Championship
Is to bo derided by a tournament. W. S.
Nisbet, attorney, is at preset tbe champion,
having won it last spring from D. B. McCon
ville in a match of 20 game3 with this score:
Nisbet 8 wins, McConville 4 wins, drawn 8.
Mr. Nisbet is doing all in his power to make
tho tournament a success. The following gen
tlemen are expected to take part, being the
cream of Dameth's devotees of tbat town:
Messrs. Homer Smith, D. li. McConville.James
Ritchie, Tnomas P. Fleesin, Burt Hnmmell,
Thomas Pratt, A. J. Malarkoy. William G.
Kuiton, Mr. Leslie and tbe present champion,
W. 8. Nisbet. As tbe above gentlemen are
among the cream of Tarentum both in Intelli
gence and business capacity, and all very good
checker players, and, as this test of skill will
settle tbe disputed point wbo is tbeir cham
pion, quite an exciting time is expected. We
will be able shortly t give full particulars of
the progress of our esteemed neighbors. Suc
cess to their eiforts.
CHECKER GOSSIP.
In the East End a short time ago a yonnglady
defeated a young and promising lawyer five
games out of six. Tbe young gentleman was so
taken back at bis sweeping defeat tbat be
studied moro checkers than law for over two
weeks, and In tbe next encounter he came out
by a scratch, as the score stood three wins for
tho lawyer and two for the lady.
Allegheny is not behind Pittsburg with lady
devotees. We know of a young lady, wbo has
just left High School, wbo is an ardent lover of
onr game and is studying publisbed play, and is
determined to be a player. Her board is num
bered, aud Tub Dispatch games are carefully
looked over. Success to all such devotees.
Mr. H.F. McAteer and Mr. Ewaltbad a very
interesting sitting at 9S Seventh avenue. Tbe
four games were very stubbornly contested,
each playe. doing bis very best to win. Tbe
score shows that neither bad any advantage, as
all were drawn. We will be able next week to
eive some of tbe games to our readers, which
will bo very interesting.
L B. Head does well to be modest as to his
score with Champion Reed. If be followed tbe
advice of L. M. Stearns, "Why not lot her
wblzl snapll banslit" Tbe next time be met
tbe champion lie would perhaps have to record
a scoro like L P. Ketcluvtii, when be tested tbe
little man in Chicago. Keed IS wins. Ketcbum,
0; drawn, L He can do it again, and do not
forget it.
Tbe parties wbo posted the checker editor of
tbe Life, as to tbe whereabouts and doings of
tbe editor of this column on Christmas even
ing was entirely wrung. He was sot at 90
Seventh avenue, so tbat the whole paragraph
was an untruth. Such reckless assertions can
hurt no one but their author. We refer tbe
editor and bis informant to Mr. Seeds, 96
Seventh avenue, as to the truth of the above.
Tbe Turf gives doe credit to Pittsburg's lead
In tbe checker world as iu everything else.
Three checker columns weekly, one in THE
Dispatch daily, an evening cotemporary and
a local weekly. Great is Pittsburg!

Bnt I am still a firm believer in the pneumatic
cabinet treatment, and use it daily In my prac
tice. The diseases in which it seems most
available are bronchitis. laryngitK asthma,
consumption in its first and second stages and
remain of chronic colds and all pneumonias.

tact with tbe lung tissur. penetrating into tbe
abscesses and pores, billing the germs, and
cleansing and applying medicine immediately
to the diseased parts. Ibis treatment causes a
greater respiratory power, give greater oxy

clubs, dumbbells and weights. This, aided by
my system of medication, alimentation and
regimen.wbich Includes the rational we ot food,
exercise and everything essential to tbe build

my claim tbat "I cure consumption." when the
disease bas not progressed too far, a perfectly
tenable one.

Dr. Sidney Fox, of Brooklyn. N. Y., after aa
experience of four yean with tbe cabinet, dur
ing which time he treated In it two hundred
patients for lung trouble, says:
"I am familiar with other modes of treat
ment, having been an interne of two of New
York's large hospitals; have seen about all tba
medicines of the pbarmicopceia tbat aro used
in lung tronbles prescribed; and am also fa
miliar with tbe injection of cavities with tbe
tincture of Iodine and other drugs, and in pri
vate practice with Borjeau's apparatus, in
halers, the oxygen treatment and other
methods; but 1 have discarded all and clung to
tbe cabinet, regarding it as tbe only instrument
ever devised that meets all tbe requirements
for which it was intended."
Dr. J. T. Wblttalter. of Cincinnati, says: "I
regard it as of inestimable value, and would
rather part with any instrument in my office
than with my Pneumatic Cabinet."
Dr. Bowditcb, Boston. Mass.: "1 believe it to
he a step forward in tbe treatment of one of
tbe most formidable diseases with which wo
have to contend."
Prof. A. L. Loomls. New York: "Instead of
sending patients to high altitudes it maybe,
possible to accomplish, by properly arranged
apparatns, what can be obtained by change of
climate."
