"You want to know what eats phore
sis is?" aaid Dr. E, C Chase, the dentist,
to a reporter of the St Louis Bepnblio,
in search of an explanation for the new
treatment dentists are discussing on
paper and verbally.
"Cats phoresis means the medication
of a tooth by an electric current. First
of all, the new treatment is only ap
plied in the filling of teeth; not in the
extraction. The idea is the medication
of the sensitive cavity of a tooth by
driving, cocaine up into it by means of
a weak electrlo current. The patient,
as a rule, is unconscious of the current

(Removes AU Pain In Filling- Teeth.)
passing through his tooth. In extract
ing a nerve tho new treatment is inval
uable, although I have no doubt that
in a few years it will be supplanted by
something else. It is very difficult to
airect the hard substanoe of a tooth
with cocaine without this electric cur
rent. With it the toxic effects of co
caine ore much more readily obtained.
"The cataphorla apparatus consists
of a little dry cell battery, with 21 cells,
a volt selector, a current controller and
a inillluniperetuetcr, with a set of elec
trodes. One of the poles Is connected
with the cavity of the tooth, the other
with tho outside of the face, by means
of a sponge.
"The cataphorla battery is usually In
closed in a nicely polished case, and can
stand at some distance from the pa
tient, so that he need not be made nerv
ous by seeing it before his eyes. Local
anaesthesia by means of cntaphoresis
is quickly obtained, and the most pain
ful nerve can be extracted in a short
time after the treutment has been ap
plied. "The application of electricity in the
dental chair in its present form is buf
a revival of what we used to do 25 years
ago. Electricity was in Its Infancy
then, and we didn't know bow to handle
it as well, although we obtained some
pretty good results even in those day.
"You may quote .me as saying that
the new fad of cataphoresls, for fad it
Is, will in a few years hence give way
to something else, better and less dan
gerous, in the hands of quacks, for the
utmost caution is necessary to handle
the cataphoric apparatus properly and
without injury to the patient."
CANTILEVER WHARF.
Fine Piece of Engineering- Work
Jast Completed In Spain.
The Spanish province of Santander
has no seaport. The rocks rise boldly
out of the sea and leave no openings for
the landing of vessels. But the country
is rich in ore, which must be shipped by
water. Modern science provides the
way by means of a cantilever wharf.
The illustration given is a wharf nt
the Setares mines in Salta-Cabelle. The
wharf of steel reaches out like a finger
over the sea for GS feet. Including tbe
land connections, it is 325 feet long and

weighs 800,000 pounds. It is 35 feet
above the water at high tide. The ore
is run in cars along the two tracks upon
the structure to the very extremity of
the wharf and there quickly unloaded
upon the waiting vessels. More than
3,000 tons of ore can be loaded in this
way in 12 hours.
Tbe Lancnige of Criminals.
In spite of all that may be said to
the contrary, there is a language pe
culiar to criminals in each country. It
is an adaptation of certain words in
common use, a destructive process, the
attempt to reduce a matured language
to an elementary stage. They cannot
use it for protection as it is always well
known to the police, ami if overheard
by an ordinary citizen would render
the speaker an object of suspicion. It
seems to be a sort of trade language
that changes every two or three years.
It Is rich in expressions which denote
common actions. There are nearly 100
words which signify theft. All the
pockets in men's and women's clothing
have separate names. It has not an ex
pression for abstract emotion.

OVEB TWO MILLIONS

La Eloquent Picture of the Deso
lation Caused by Wil
son Free Trade.
from the Jersey City Journal.
The Dlngley tariff has given employ
ment to 4,500 workmen In the potteries
of this tute. The Wilson tar lit made
these same 4,500 men Idle for the past
three years. During these three years
these men, who had formerly been eara
lng from fZO to 140 a week under the
McKlnlcy tariff, have been on the canal
towpath working for "$10 a month and
board," driving horse cars, swerplng
streets and thanking God for a Job that
would lay them a day.
In these same three years seven
eighths of the capital invented In pot
terles In thla state has not yielded 1
per cent, interest. Five of the greatest
concerns, with almost one-luilf of the
money represented In the business be
hind them, have gone to the wall, and
are still In the hands of receivers, or
have liquidated and gone to new own
ers. The potteries of Trenton, accord
ing to a carefully prepared estimate In
The Tribune, had when the Wilson bill
went Into effect a payroll of $.10,000 a
week, and when the Dlngley tariff came
to the rescue of the potteries after three
years of the Wilson tariff, this payroll
had (tone down to $8,000 a week. This
means that the Wilson tariff cost the
pottery workers of the city of Trenton
alone $2,185,000 a year! The Dlngley
tariff means the return of 12,185,000 a
year to tho workmen of Trenton In this
single Industry, and that is only a
starter, for the Dlngley tariff has fea
tures even more favorable to the pot
terles than the McKlnley tariff had.
If anything could eloquently picture
the desolation and destruction of the
Wilson tariff It is this statement re
gardlng the scattering of the workmen
under its operation. The writer In The
Tribune says:
"During the last three years the opera
tives have voluntarily agreed to a re
ductlon of about 33 1-3 per cent, in their
wages In the hope of keeping the shops
running and holding the home market
against the foreigners, but the manu
facturers could not then compete and
the doors were closed.
"The decorating shopB of Trenton that
have been operated at all have pur
chased the ware they decorated In
England, France and Germany. It fre
quently happened that the decorating
shop was located next door to a big
pottery, whose warehouse was groaning
under the load of the same kind of
stock the decorator had shipped from
England, France and Germany, the for
eign ware having been brought to the
very doors of the pottery here at a cost
to the decorator of 16 per cent. less than
the actual cost to manufacture In this
city.
"Fully 100 families have g"no from
Trenton to England, In which country
the potteries have flourished under the
Wilson tariff rates, and there made the
ware that supplied the American mar
ket, while the shops here were closed,
and the grass was growing over the
heretofore busy driveways."
In Trenton there are 34 potteries.
There are three of four score shops and
other establishments employing labor,
whose very existence is dependent upon
the potteries. There are In the city of
Trenton no less than 35.008 people, male
and femal", In the families whose com
fort Is derived wholly from the pros
perous condition of this system of In
terdependent Industry. Within six days
after the Wilson law was enacted, de
privation, want, and, In Increasing de
grees, the artuul pains of poverty took
possession of these helpless workers.
For three years they have been blindly
waiting for seeeor and at last It hns
come, for the most reliable reports from
that city already show that there
thousnnds are finding steady employ
ment, and within 15 months all will ht
employed and at wages nearly 25 per
cent, higher than were paid even to the
few fortunate laborers who held places
during the three years of Democratic
destitution.
While this Is the history of the city of
Trenton, It must be remembered that
Trenton Is but one city out of all those
which are similarly affected by the
Dlngley tariff. East Liverpool, O.,
Wheeling, Tiffin, Baltimore and the rest
are equally beneficiaries In the return
of prosperity under a Republican tariff.
The people are to be congratulated
upon the fact that the new revenue
producing and business reviving tariff
Is now In force. That business hence
forth will revive under the new tariff,
there need be no doubt. Of course one
cannot get well as quickly as he be
comes 111, and the country's Industries
must not be expected to assume the
most prosperous conditions at once, for
it has taken four years and over to
reach the bottom of hard times. We
may expect, however, to see business
Improve now, and by another spring
labor ought to be fully employed.
Schenectady (N. T.) Union.
Notwithstanding the large stocks of
manufactured goods Imported in antici
pation of the enactment of a protective
tariff the Dlngley bill should bring an
early Improvement in all lines of trade.
From the signing of the bill by Presi
dent McKlnley should date a new era of
prosperity. Everybody, irrespective of
political affiliation, should now put his
shoulder to the wheel with a determina

How to
Cure Catarrh,
Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala
tions, etc., which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any enre for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis
directed, and has not touched their
tronble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be a good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of tbe trouble and forces it
out. S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable way to treat Catarrh.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburi',
Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes:
"I could see no improvement what
ever, though I was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling remedies in fact, I could feel
that each winter I was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it was brought to my notice
that Catarrh was a blood disease, and
after thinking over tbe matter, I saw it
was unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which only reached the
surface. I then decided toiry S. S. S.,
and the results were gratifying, for
after a few bottles were used, I noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu
ing to take the remedy, the disease was
forced out of my system, and a com
plete and permanent cure was the
result. I advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which has never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe
cific), a remedy which can reach the
disease and cure it."
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's
Specific never fails to cure even
the most aggravated cases. It is a
real blood remedy, and cures Catarrh,
Rheumatism, Contagious Blood rolson,
Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, and all other
blood diseases. S. S. S. is guaranteed
