NEW CONSUMPTION CURE
BERMUDA ONION WILL DO IT, SAYS
1111011. COUNSEL
Contains Marvellous Curative Proper-

Dread Disease.
And now conies a, man from Cuba
18110 SflYS 113 can cure consumption,
even In the third stage, with Bermuda
01110I18, Professor Golinski i libo name.
For twenty-five years the professor eas
practised on the consumptive puliouts
of the west halles and South America.
"I am fully satisfied," says ten pro -
Asset', "after long experience that eon-
sumplion is neither a. contagious, infer -
flees nor bilieelted disease. Children

but not the disease itself, which is de-

There is no sixanagy about 11; nothing
that the pawed man, woman 0111111
may not avail himself of and recover

"The Bermuda onion, by reason of its
culture and ingrediouts, contains mar-
vellous curative properties of a mild,
oily taste anti a specific for the dread
disease. The onion is grown in a speci-
ally prepneed bed, chiefly of the meal
of the castor bean ground up. The on -
Ion growing in this soil becomes medi-
cated and a great blood tonic, restor-
ing the weekest stomach, building up
the rterves throughout the human sys-
tem.
"This Is the process. After one eats
the onion the gases arising duringsleop
are inhaled into the sacs of Um lungs
destroying 1110 consumptive's microbes
In no other way cian these deadly para-
sites be killed without injury to the de-
11cate lining of the stomach., the Intes-
tines, tissues, etc. One in the fled
stages of consuinption eating two cf
these Bermuda onions a clay with a lit-
tle salt will immediately begin to rally.
Slices of the onion, placed between two
pieces of buttered breed and eaten as
a sandwich will effect a positive cure
in from throe to four weeks.
"In the second stage of consumptIon
it veil] require about three months to
e-ffect a cure. All wastes and drains of
the system must be avoided—no brandy
wbiskey or other intoxicating liquors
allowed.
In. the third stage of the terrible dis-
ease the onions should be eaten faith-
fully
FOR FOUR MONTHS,
observing the same abstinence from li-
quors of all kinds.
"During the third stage tonics for 1110
stomach, liver, heart and bladder should
be taken. After careful investigation,
eetending throught a series of 70111501181
visiting patients in all pates of the
Southern country, I am convinced 1110,
Itis present treatment of consumptives
15 weong—esecpially the use of cold air,
which in ninoty-nine cases out of every
hundred reduces the natural heat at
the lungs and produces death through
congestion, pneumonia and pleurisy,
which I/0001110 now diseases and destroy
life in a few days.
"The lungs require a normal tem-
perature of 08,4 Fahrenheit of tempera-
ture to sustain life in consumptive pa-
tients. The cold open [dr treatment,
which is insisted on, without gauge or
regard to the Intensity of cold upon the
superheated lungs of from 102 to 103
temperature, is sure tocause conges-
tion and pneumonia, if the teinperature
falls two degrees below maenad. It is
nothing short of manslaughter to ex-
pose a weak, emaciated, consumptive
patient to such a rigor of temperature.
"Another outrage is the use of creo-
sote, expeoting it when administered in-
to the stomach to destroy the bacilli in-
festing the lungs and its tissues. My
investigation proves that creosote, as
usually proscribed, de.etroys 1110 benefici-
al mucus coating the lungs and the sto-
mach, leaving the orgens in such a
condition that 0111011 the patlent par-

it could easily be understood how such

MAKE FAKE IRISH BUTTER
MANIPULATED "SIBERIAN" IS EASILY
PALMED OFF.
Bow Imitation Buller is Made a Diffi-
cult Questiolibfor the
Purchaser.
The Irish members of Parliament
Lave for several years been desirous of
passing a bill to secure the purity of
bulter, a matter in which Irish farmer's
and dealers axe specially interested.
NOW comes the medical health offi-
cer for In city of London with a sug-
gestion that a manipulated "Siberian
butter" Is easily palmed off as Irish
butter. Ile quotes the following state-
nient by a North of England cf
peoduce merchants showing how neock
Irish firkin butter is made from tho
&buten product.
If the manipulator buys his Siberian
butter at the right time, that Is to
say, 111 the summer months, he can
produce mock Irish iirkM butler in the
winter at surname' prices. The cost of
Siberian butler is estimated on this bas-
is—plus the expenses of cold storage.
The treated milk is taken cold and
piped in a chamber whom peat is burn-
ing, 51.1011 SS 'LS used by provision mer-
chants to smoke bacon, It Is only al-
lowed to remein here sufficiently long
to inland a, slightly
PEATY ' AND SMOKY FLAVOR,
such as one often finds in Irish butter.
Note.—The milk must be much cold-
seno'than the chamber' or it will 1101 ab-
rbThe amalgamation is then corded out
as follows: Equal weights 01 1110 solidi-
fied milk and butler are kneaded well
together ln a kneading machine, after
this the remaining quantity of build' is
added, mid then, whilst the machine is
going, the treated milk, peeviously and
ouickly 11001081 10 a temperature of about
37 degrees Cent. or 100 degrees Fame
is slowly added.
The higher the temperature 01 1110 but-
ler when going into 1110 machlne the
more glossy or vaseline-like will be the
product. Should more salt be required
this may be added; but the sett from
the prepoention of the solidifled milk
Is usually sufficient. Several days are
required before the butler again assumes
111, texture. Then It. should be poked
inlo firkins. The cost of these are tram

CHARITY RUNNING DRY.
Decreased Donations to London Hospi-
tals are Serious.
Owing to a debt of 4100,000, towards
which nearly 4E7,000 has been sent or
promised, Lord Kilmorey, chairman of
the Charing Cl'OSS Hospital, writes to
the London Daily Mail to say 11 1105 had
lo close fifty-four beds, •and unless fee-
bler Lunde aro forthcoming will have to
close thirty-seven more, reducing it to
the limit for a claim on the King's
Fund.
Tho next step, he says, will be the
closing of the hospital, "a metropolitan
disaster." In appealing for large dona-
tions, he says that the Interest on the
debt and the falling off in subscriptions
cause a yearly deficit of 86,000. The
council is using the strictest economy in
management.
Charing Cross is by no means the
only hospital In this financial plight.
Mr. Melhado, secrotary.superintendent
of the Middlesex Hospital, said, "The
Hospttals ef the United Kingdom have
to rely entirely on the 'Charitable Ten
Thousand.' This is the name given to
those who support 01101111es, and who
do not number more than that in the
whole of the United Kingdom.
"We have just had an example of how
useless it is to appeal to &anyone outside
the 10,000. Some 25,000 appeals were
sent out to the well-to-do quarters near
the hospital. Tho postage alone came to

£200, did not cover lite cost 01 10811111(1
