THE LYMPH DEFENDED Hichard F. Smith's Ecview of the Re sults of a Year's Trial. MOKE RECOVERIES THAI DEATHS. Interesting Statistics as to the Effects of the Treatment, WHERE THE DOCTORS MOST DISAGREE The story told by Dr. E. T. Painter, the Pittsburg physician who visited Berlin to take the Koch treatment, has revived inter est in the lymph and its results. Eichard P. Smith reviews the matter for the Phila delphia JPufciO Ledger, saying that it is now nearly a vear since Robert Koch announced the discovery of a compound which, intro duced by injection into the circulation, would confer immunity from tubercular dis ease, and even arrest the progress of -such disease when already present. The result of this announcement is still fresh in the memory of all; the widespread excitement among professional and non-professional alike; the rise of unreasonable hope, so soon depressed by unreasonable despair; the final disappearance of the lymph from the arena of popular discussion, and its relegation to that limbo where reside the thou sand and one discarded consumption cures of the past. Headers, however, are aware that this popular dismissal of the lymph was not paralleled by a scien tific rejection. There was, to be sure, a period of distrust and depression, but it served only to prepare the way for anera of more cautious and unprejudiced experiment, which has already witnessed much advance in the knowledge of the proper use and therapeutic value of the famous drug. Gennanv has, of course, been the principal field of experiment, and we must accord ingly look to German scientists for opinions of the most v eight. Their utterances in recent months have been neither few in number nor slight in importance. The Deutsche JUaJtriniiche WocJicnsdiriJl devoted a number of pages in each itsuc to the pub lication of the experience of the many who have liandled the lymph, or "tuberculin," aJ it is now called; and it is intended here to give a resume of the results and opinion;, detailed during the last three months. The Opinions Are Conflicting. It is of course, to be expected that no perfect consensus of opinion concerning the uiuuy different uses of tuberculin has yet been" readied. And yet in some par ticulars there is a decided approach to this, and even where this variety oijudgments is greatest, it is not wholly uncertain in what direction the majority tend. The value of tuberculin in tlie diagnosis of doubtful caes is, perhaps, the subject of least con tention at present. It has been found that some patients, undoubtedly tuberculous, do not show the characteristic general reaction alter injection; while others, in whom no trace of tubercular disease could be found by careful post-mortem examination, have reacted in a marked and unmistakable manner. Accordingly it is concluded that, as a diagnostic, tuberculin is a valuable aid to other means, but can hardly become the tole reliance of the physician. In this re spect, then, Koch's estimate of his dis covery seems to have been exaggerated. Passing to the use of tuberculin in the treatment of tuberculosis, we find some thing like a consensus regarding its value in cases where the skin, joints or throat are the parts affected. Regarding lupus (tuber culosis of the skin), Dr. Kuemniel, of Ham burg, considers that Koch's expectations have been whollv fulfilled. Only one of 15 patients treated by him failed to show marked improvement, and he affected some wonderful cures. One was that of an' 18-vear-old girl, whom lie had at various times for ten years treated by every method known to" him, but without effect: A few weeks of the new treatment accomplished the cure. lumbers of Cure Cepnted. This experience finds many parallels, and in general there seems to be'no dissent from the judgment of Dr. Hcuck, of Heidelberg, that "tuberculin is at present the best and most rapidly aeting palliative remedy for lupus." AV'hcthcr a veritable cure has in any instance been effected is a matter of some dispute, but the question seems to hinge entirely on the definition of "cure." if o one denies that the majority of patients treated hate been constantly progressing toward a condition that even the most ex acting Mould be willing to term a cure, and the expectation of eventually reaching it is considered wholly r aonable. The same may be said in regard to tuberculosis of the bones or joints, the results gained, being about on a par with the foregoing. In tubercular affections of the throat re sults that are undeniably remarkable have been obtained. A striking case is tliat de cribed at length by Dr. Kenvers, of the University Clinic, in Berlin. A woman af flicted with very severe tubercular ulcera tion of the larynx and pharynx had been treated by him four months, in accordance with the "most approved methods, but with out effect. Recourse was then had to tuber culin. The patient was at that time able to swallow nothing but liquids, and that onlv with the greatest pain, while her usual con dition was one of intense suffering. Slight relief followed the new treatment at first, but after the 2Sth injection such a decided increase of the trouble was observed that the treatment was abandoned for a few days. At its renewal a marked improvement was shown, and after 18 more injections the woman was dismissed as entirely cured. More Thau Half Restored. Dr. 3Ioritz Schmidt, of Frankfort, cured 25 cases out of 42 treated, a result consider ably better than any obtained by the use of former method. Equally good results, however, are reported from other quarters. Out of 19 mild ces treated by Dr. Gra brower at the Moabit Hospital in Berlin, 8 were completely cured, D were so much im proved that a cure was confidently pre dicted and oulv 2 remained unchanged. Pacts like these place the value of tuber-' culm in this class oi cases beyond dispute. It is wii"n we turn to pulmonary tuber culosis, or consumption, that we find the real field of controversy concerning the im portance of Koch's discovery. All shades of opinion are here found, lrbni the fullest conlidenee to the deepest distrust. One physician's experience compels him to think that incipient consumption can be cured with certainty by the new method; while another has concluded that its use is little short of criminal in consumption at any stage. Some arc operating on all cases oliered; while others have thrown aniiv their hypodermic needles and renewed their allegiance to alcohol and creosote. Dr. Bosenfeld, of Stuttgart, for example, Miys that, while formerly he lelt obliged to send a consumptive, if his purse was large, to health resorts, such as Palkenstein and Davos, or, if his nurse was somewhat larger, to Italy, Egypt or Madeira, now he can let him stay at home and be treated there. In this way the patient Favcs not only much iiioney, but also much time, since what for 1:1. riy w ould be accomplished only in months and years is now to be attained in from four to six w eeks. On the other hand, Dr. Arendt, ot Konigsberg, holds that, in comparison with the numerous mishaps that have followed the use of tuberculin, the favorable results arc relatively incon siderable, and that in any individual case the eii'eci of an injection cannot be foretold. Where the Doctors Disagree. If there ever was an instance of the dis agreement of doctors calculated to confuse the non-professional, this surely is one. Yet it is plain m what direction the solution is to be sought. For the great discrepancies in the result", obtained by different experi menters inu-t be due to differences in the clas of patients selected, or in the method of applying the treatment, or in both. We must either find an explanation of the many mishaps and poor general results in the im proper selection and treatment of cases, or regard the freedom from accidents and the excellent results only as the exceptional good fortune of a few, and as the usual effects rC n in -AtrnA rt Air Hlft. ttt.. it seems at present as if the former were tne more proDaoie outcome u mo mvcswf," tion. Some of the severest blows that havo been dealt the Koch treatment have come from those who recklessly disregarded the directions of its oririnator. For example, Dr. Detwciler, the director of a sanitarium for consumptives at Falkenstein, who after than anyone to IvmDh used it Vlrcliow has aone more arouse prejudice against me in all of the 128 cases of consumption under his charge, 44 of whom were admittedly quite advanced, and only 15 incipient. Moreover, according to his own confession, the new treatment was carried out accord ing to a definite general scheme, so that the. I11S Ljintlv fully individualize. A more recent opponent' of tuberculin, Dr. jcuck, oi neiaeiDei,- used the remedy in 37 far advanced and 27 moderately advanced cases, out of a total of 7G. Heuck Convinced of Dangers. Of 'these nine died under treatment and, as a consequence, Heuck is firmly convinced of the dangers attending, the use of the tuberoulin, there being, for him, apparently little significance in the fact that of his 12 incipient cases seven were very markedly improved, while only two retrograded. The experience of Dr. Furbringer, of Berlin, is also very suggestive in this connection. During the first few months" using the new remedv 11 patients died. Later he reports that ""for five weeks no death has occurred, apparently because of a more restricted choice of cases and a more careful individu alizing, together with the use of smaller doses." , On the other hand, an attempt to explain away the improvement noted in so many case's seems not at all likety to succeed, whether it be argued that the results are due to other causes, or that equally good have been obtained by other methods. There are abundant instances of patients under treat ment in hospitals and sanitaria who showed no improvement until after the use of tuber culin was begun. For example, Furbringer, in his hospital practice, noted, in 40 per cent of the cases treated during the winter, an improvement such as he had never, or very rarely, seen in previous winters; and the new method, he asserts, caused an un mistakable change in the complexion of the hospital statistics. In his private practice, too, he noted improvements in patients whom residence in high altitudes and southern regions had not benefited. In this connection it is also worthy of note that Dr. Turban, of Davos, and Dr. Wolff, of Gor bersdorf, consider that by supplementing the ordinary climatic treatment, for which these resorts are famous, with the use of tuberculin, they have secured an increase of favorable results. Koch's Kcmedy of Eoal Value. It would seem then that the positive value of Koch's discovery is impossible of denial. It is not so easy, however, to assert that physicians are now able, in the light of past experience, to so select their cases-and con duct the treatment that all danger of mis hap is avoided. It is true that this danger is now reduced to a minimum, as shown by a recent report of Dr. Guttmann, of the iloabit Hospital, in Berlin. His method of usme a very small aose one-ieum oi a millgram at the beginning, and increasing only one-tenth at each succeeding injection, has not been followed by a single mishap, and the 3G cases treated all showed some improvement, especially in the matter of weigut. J.U13 experience, uuwever, uucs not prove that danger can be absolutely pre vented. The suspicion must still remain that, for reasons yet unknown, the injection of tuberculin is liable to cause serious com plications even in cases deemed wholly fit i lor treatment, xne luiure iuusi ueuiue whether any never-failing sign of contra indication of tuberculin can be discovered or the drug be punned oi its aangerous ele ments without eliminating the active prin ciple. In both directions there is good ground for hope; and, in any event, it is inconceiv able that science should wholly give up the advantage of possessing a,substauee that has a specific action on tubercular tissue. In the combination of the use of this specific with the constitutional treatment of the past is found the best way of opposing the ravages of consumption that present knowl edge permits. "In this union," says Dr. Klemperer, "I see the signs by which the modern clinic will conquer." Statlsilcs of the Treatment.

The Baltimore and Ohio road has placed on its line between 3Sew York and Wash ington three new engines that are claimed, to be the fastest in the country. This section of the road lacks for nothing. What is needed is a more liberal policy on the Pitts burg and other Western divisions. The company has placed eight ten-wheel pas senger engines on the mountain division. One of these engines does the work re quired of two ordinary ones. The company is building a number of new freight and passenger engines at Mt. Clare shops. Sev eral new freight engines were recently put on this end of the road. The officials here deny the report that the tracks are to bequadruplod to SlcKeesport.

Some of the Bernard girls-and'thei'Vossar a little -breakfast the other day n tne occasion ot the sailing of Miss Helen Leah Beed, who has gone to England on a vaca tion trip and to niolr mi material w''y- tffo for some literarv work she is engaged in. Miss Beed, it maybe remembered took the Sargent In Greek Attire. prize at the Har vard Annex last yearrfor a translation from Horace, which was published afterward in one of the monthlies. She has been doing literary and journalistic work ever since under the a;gis of Colonel T. W. Higginson. To give her an appropriate send-off the breakfast was made as classic as possible. Every girl wore a Greek gown, and to keep the thing informally jovial the costumes were contrived, chiefly by the help of scissors, from light shades of cheesecloth. The menu was printed in Latin, and Jfom peiian yases held the roses with which tho table was covered. The favors were rib bons painted with roses, and on Miss Beed's was inscribed a legend in Greek, "Fair blows the breeze, the seamen loose the sail," from something by Meleager. This was above the flowers. Below them in let ters of gold stood: Woman, that hast dared all and more than There is not anything nor will be ever, Than woman better, let what will fall on men. This was taking a liberty with Euripides, for he wrote it "worse," though perhaps he has repented by this time. The Marlow shirt is an English shirt waist which is finding special favor with ladies who aflect the British style of dress. It is made of cotton cheviot, in Oxfordor Cambridge mixtures, or of plain white linen. It is made exactly like a gentle man's shirt, with a shield front, high yoke at the back, shirtsleeves and wristbands and Piccadilly collar. Gold, enameled or jew eled shirtstuds, and a four-in-hand or Ascot tie complete the outfit, which is intended, of course, for negligee wear, with dark tweed or serge skirts. For a boating cost ume is worn the new sleeveless jacket, or a reefer coat with such a shirt to match the skirt. TheTe seems to be no difference of opinion among people entitled to have opinions as to the cause of scrawny necks among women. For the last six or eight years we have been engaged in spoiling our necks as industri ously as possible. What does the man do who finds to his regret that his waist -is toning on aidermanic prupumuuni He puts a flannel band about it and takes a walk of a July morning. What does a woman do whose round white throat is her Eride and pleasure? She puts on a cam ric blouse with a high starched shirt collar and goes out and plays tennis until the col lar wilts with perspiration. If she were looking with anxiety for a pipe-stem neck she couldn't go a better road to find one. It will take seasons of open-throated gowns to give back to women the contours which tall tight dresses and jacket collars have robbed them of. The same little sermon applies to arms. A single summer of the tight cuffs now worn from waist to elbow will do more to spoil the lower arm for evening dress than any other instrument of torture that could be contrived. Besides this at least is a point which may command attention the tight cuff is absolutely incompatible with white hands. Many a girl has mourned in secret because her wrists were red as beets and has racked her brain and her cosmetic boxes to find out the cause. It was nothing more nor less than her cuffs, which interfered with the circulation. An easy sleeve from shoulder to wrist is cheaper and more use ful than the services of a manicure. The tight cuff, too, is extremely awkward look ing. There is no doubt of the fact that the pony phaeton and the pair of ponies are becoming a luxurious delight to an energetic woman. The little pony and tho Ballt cart as a ladies' pastime is a familiar figure at Newport in the season, at a thousand coun try places, and at the seaside, in Central Park and all through the West and South. It has been much more the custom for ladies in the West and South to drive them- A. Driving Hat. selves than for those at the North; con sequently they drive better. Only those who know how to drive well ought ever to drive, for they not only endanger their own lives, but a dozen lives 'besides. Whoever has seen a, runaway carriage run into an other carriage, and has beheld tho breaking up. can realize for the first time the tremen dous force of an object in action. The little "Ballicart" can become a battering ram of prodigious force. Ko form of creation is so useful and so becoming as horseback exer cise. No English woman looks so well as when "turned out" for out-of-door exercise. And our American women are getting to have the same "chic." It takes just as much material to make a dress this summer as it did last summer, and yet nobody knows just why this should be so. Skirts are narrower and scantier than they ever were before, and waists are tight fitting and come down closely over the hips in a way that seems to take up no material at all that is, no more than would be actually required to cover the fieure. Last year, you know, the skirts were very j A. July Hat. Inland contained just as much "stuff" as I could be snugly gathered upon the band. '4.ne waists, too; were round ana muoo. blouse-shaped, rather than tight-fitting, and oftentimes an enormous sasn of the same material was tied around the waist. How it is all so different and yet one buys al most the same 'quantity of goods for a dress pattern. Dearly beloved women why are these things thus? Can anyone answer to a nicety and a certainty? Perhaps it is be cause the large, full sleeves which every requires in order to bear the stamp ot fashion requires a great deal of dress goods. if they are full at the shoulder, high puffed and taoerincr to fit the arm and wrist If the sleeves are full and puffed all the way to the wrist, ending there with a narrow band to hold the great sleeve puff in place, it takes almost twice as much goods as the shoulder puff alone would require. And then, if you have taken notice, you will have seen a large, loose, half-flowing sleeve, something like the sleeve which is attached to a wrap, and having also a tight-fitting sleeve underneath; this takes more material yet, and counts up enormously when one goes to compute the number of yards that are required for a gown. The following becoming costume will be found especially suitable for yacht ing and lawn tennis parties. The chemise is of white flannel, with a sailor collar of blue linen edeed with white. opening on a sailor's gilet striped blue and white. The skirt is of heavy blue cloth, encircled near the bottom by a wide white band. How the modern girl does adore the beltl It is a most important item in the fashion able toilet of a school girl this season. And what a variety of these belts do come in, to be sure. There is the gold and silver snake belt, which ladies whoso sensibilities are not superfine, to say the least, adopt; the circlet of mock pearls and the more prac tical ones of soft leather, velvet, canvas, passementerie and solid gold and silver. There are the Bussia leather bands, clasped with the owner's monogram in silver; the blue canvas, drawn by a gold or silver orna ment; the slender, flexible chain belts of gold, and daintier, perhaps, than all .the others, narrow belts accentuating the slen derness of the waist and clasped with old buckles of paste or silver.

Tea gowns of pink, blue or green silk pro fusely trimmed with lace are very becom ing. Loiro ornamental pins nre again seen in millinery, and of silver, gilt, steel or Jet with Jeweled heads. Tea gowns of silk, covered with finest India muslin embroidered in pale colors, are very dainty. A JjOkdok tailor Is tiring to introduce bright aniline mauves and a red that is sim ply a softened magenta. A norsE gown of blue and gold taffeta glace silk is trimmed with black lace and gilt passementerie studded with turquoise. For small children white serge is very dressy 'trimmed with yellow silk braid. The silk braid is as effocttve as gold braid and does not tarnish.

Polka-dotted, figured, and striped black and colored silks may havo sleeves and vest of colored silk trimmed with a Cleopatra cincture or girdle and flaring with a collar of Jet orgllt passametorie.

THE TWIN CITIES WI2T AGAIN. The greatest contest, as far as team matches is concerned, thatwas ever played In America, took place in Pittsburg on July Fourth; 38 of the strongest players of the 8tate sat down to do their best, 19 represent ing Western and Central Pennsylvania, 19 representing Pittsburg and Allegheny cities. Play commenced at 2:30 p. if., and was fin ished at S r. 21., and the following is the list of the players and theirscores as it appeared In the Sunday Dispatch of July S: Wins. Cities. Drawn.

The Al toona best six," we. think, will steer clear ot trying conclusions with Pittsburg best six; Tho Pennsylvania Cheoker Association was formed after play in the team match was finished. H. F. MoAteer was elected President, and the checker editor of Tire Dispatch was elected Secretary and B.- W. Patterson Treasurer. The names of all the players were enrolled as members of the as sociation. All checker playors of the State are eligible to membership, and the dnes for the year are 0 cents for each member, pay able on or before the first Wednesday in October, when the next general meeting is to take place to play for the association championship. The rules to govern the play to be the same as those whioh governed tho English tournament for the champion ship of England, and the winner of said tournament to be the acknowledged cham pion of the State. A suitable emblem will be given to the victor representing the State championship. The runner-up in said tour ney to receive a silver medal, to be com peted for by any desirous of contesting said holder in a match of ten games, and the ono winning tne matcn tnree times Decomes. the holder of the medal, and If he holds it one year, without even being chal lenged, the medal will be the property of the Holder. It will be necessary to become a member of the association to be enabled to compete, and as the fees are less than S cents per month membership is within the reach of all, and all desirous of connecting tnemsolves with the association can send their names to tne checker editor of The Dispatch, when everything will be attended to to the best of our ability. J. P. Beed, the ohampion of America, has been in Pittsburg for one week. His visit has been ono of great interest to the players, and his blindfold exhibitions, to those who have never been privileged to witness them, are simply marvelous. Those competent to Judge say Mr. Beed never played stronger in his life, his wonderful feat of winning eight games straight from the strongest as pirant to the championship of the State, W. U. Brown, of Altoona, showing how little any of us can do with him, though a few have won games, Maize, Ewalt, McAteer and Binhardt. Stuart, of Washington, Pa., and Bitchle, of Tarentum, won the only blind fold games. Mr. Beed will probably visit Cincinnati, Newport, etc., before going back to Chicago. His match with Mr. Barker is now assured and the .match is to be played, commencing September 14, in Chicago. It will be a very exciting contest, as the two aspirants are reputed to be in good form. We can count upon some great checkers be ing played, and the result of the match will Just place the throe great American expo nents of the game. Barker was defeated Dy Freeman by the score: Freeman, 2 wins, Barker 1 and 27 games drawn in a match ot SO games. Barker plays Mr. Beed on the same terms and conditions of restriction as he did Mr.Freeman. We await the result. CHECKEB NOTES. James Wyllie, the world's champion, is playing with his usual success in theLondon clubs, England. After he is through there, he will visit Leeds, where a warm welcome awaits him. His position as to the American players is indorsed by most of the British players, and in our opinion he has adopted a. proper course, though we regret that his course will shut us out of tho pleasure of seeing him. J. W. Lewis made a complete back down in not making an appearance, as agreed to, to play F. Teschcleit for the London cham pionship. The forfeit was handed ovorand the championship still remains with its present holder. Mr. Craig, of Grove City, came 1C0 miles to see the checker team match. There are a few of us left.

ELECTRICITY. Its Wonderful Power as an Agent for the Cure of Disease FROM SCIENTIFIC MEN Of Unquestionable Qualifications, Skill and Exoenence. OPPORTUNITY FOR PITTSBURG PEOPLE To Avail Themselves of the New Therapeutic Agent In the Hands of Thor oughly Skillful Men. S03IE PLAIN STATEMENTS OF FACT In introducing the physicians of THIS ELECTEOPATHIC INSTITUTE to the pub lie of Pittsburg, no wild promises or high sounding words will be used. With an intel ligent and discriminating people, such as wa 'have to deal with, the simple, straightfor ward statement of facts will amply serve to show the benefits which, the stole and dlsea8edof this region are to receive from the location of these gentlemen here. In the first place, the physicians of THE ELECTEOPATHIC INSTITUTE are regu larly trained, regularly educated doctors, graduates of the best medical colleges in the country, who have since their graduation devoted themselves entirely to those new and modern discoveries in medicine and surgery which have developed the wonder ful curative powers of electricity. They are scientific men of scientific train ing and association, recognized in the pro fession as electrical scientists, who have done valuable service in perfecting and dis covering electrical methods and appliances. They propose to do sufficient advertising to demonstrate to the profession and the pub lic of Pittsburg the value and power of these comparatively HEW A2ID W03DEB1TC1 agents in the cure of disease. Electricity as a simple forco has lonjrbeen known to the world, and while its nature and its uses have been largely developed by its varied applications, yet its use as a thera peutical agent is recent, and has been greatly embarassed and obstructed: First, by the ignorance of those using it, as to the relations that electricity sustains to the nor mal forces of the body; and, secondly, by the Imperfection of the instruments con structed, to produce it, failing in adaptation to this special purpose. And finally, by the ignorance of manipulators. Much that is wonderful in the discoveries relating to the application of electricity to the cure of disease has reached the ears of the publlo through the current and secular press. Depending upon this many ignorant and untrained men who are not doctors in the first, and have not the most shadowy claim to being specialists or scientists in the second place have advertised them selves to the public as Electrical Healers, Electrical Physicians and Electrical Insti tutes, seeking by this XETHOD OP IXP03TUKX To make money out of that genuine and wonderful department of Therapeutics, of the real efficacy and applications of which, they are 03 ignorant as a child might be of the mechanism of the Corlis3 engine. For the present we will simply state that through tne physicians of the Electropathlo Institute, the profession and the pnblic are to have the benefits of the scientific appli cation of the new therapeutical agent. These gentlemen recognize its limitations and are not placing it before the public as a cure all. Its wonderful power within the limits in which they have by practical test and experience as well as by scientific de duction established its value, will ba set forth no more. In other words, the physicians of the Electropathic Institute, will give their electrical treatment for just such diseases and to Just such class of patients as they have lound it effective within the past. They confine thoir experiments to their laboratories. They DO NOT EXPEBIMENT In their practice. The diseases that they will treat by electricity in Pittsburg are DISEASXS THAT THEV HATE CUBED by electricity time and again diseases over which the power of electricity, as a curative agent, has been abundantly and unquestion ably established in their own practice and under their own observation. Their theories and methods they hold in common with such men as Wagner, Lum broso and Mattelntwith Corning and Bey nolds, Cogney of London and Gartner, of Vienna, with these and other scientists of the modern school they find electricity potent as an agent in maladies of the skin and mucus membranes, in diseases of the nerves and the blood. It comes in its new power as a revelation to the der matologist, the rhinologist, the laryngolisS nnd the gyneoologist. Its wonderful effects UPON THE NUTBITION IN CASES OF CONSUMPTION and wasted vitality, its marvelous power for STIMULATING NEBVE AND MUSCLE, for reaching the tissues and fluids of the body, BELIEVING PAIN, DESTBOYING GEBMS AND MODI FYING MOEBIX) PBOCESSES. these are not the conclusions of theory, but the demon strations of their own practice aud experi ence. Scientific men. of genuine auallflcatlons and credentials of extended experience and -practice, administering this new and won derful agent in the cure of disease this is the benefit that the people of Pittsburg re ceive from the establishment ot the Electro pathic Institute. The physicians in charge of thU .Institute receive and successfully treat all patients suffering from chronic ailments: KEBVOUS DISEASES, BLOOD DISEASES, BHXraATlSJT, paralysis, neuralgia, scrofula and cataess, also diseases of the Eye and Ear. Operations in electrical surgery performed by the consultingpbysicians of the Institute. Consultation and diagnosis free.
