The Tyramy of Tiusts.

(From the Daily News )

At the presecfc time, tin American elt!~ zen who >a or sells oil must either join or buy from the Trust. If he refuse* he has to fight an enemy which will spar* mr-ither pains nor money to wreck him* He will be undersold in every direction at prices which* although a dead loss to (ha Standard Company, make bob fche faintest impression upon the debit Bide of its huge balance sheet. * He cannot hope to transport his oil against the company, the enormous oapi* tal of which has enabled It to lay down the necessary tubes for pumping its oil diregt to taoh far distant places as Chicago Philadelphia, Richmond, and New York. No small capitalist can stand flitch * combination, and he has either to sell hli wells to the Truat and become the salaried manager of his own business or go under. In this way is destroyed that! treasured independence which is the 1 sad ing oharae* teristic of the Anglo Saxon «oa, and the email masters of a generation back art fast becoming the salaried and often sweated employees of the soulless Trust). By reducing competition, says the Trait the cost cf production is lessened, and the consumer gets a cheaper article. As a matter cf fact, the American Trust usually seises the first opportunity of increasing its prices.

Consumption and its Cure.

*Wrt»lH.

Professor Clifford Allbntt recently delivered an interesting addresses ring which he said :—

As to the possibility of banishing tuberculosis from the world, he might allude to what had been done In regard to the plague to which our country wu subject 300 years ago: Like the plague, tuberculosis might be eradicat ed and yet come back occasionally. Typhoid, too, would be practically eradicated through sanitary methods.

At present, however, we did not know enough of tuberculosis to say it could be eradicated altogether. What we were trying to do now was not merely to afford solace tod comfort to the individual, though that was an im portant matter, hat to discover the habitat of the germs of the disease and to destroy them in their Beat. This was a long and a slow process, and for that reason our efforts must, not ba slackened. We know that tuberculosis was propagated by tuberculous man kind—be spoke now specially of pul monary consumption, which was on the Increase—and this occurred entirely through expectoration from the lungs. It was necessary that such expectora tion should not be carried abroad and inhaled by healthy people, Then glancing at the open air method of cure, he traced the course of auccesbful expfriments on the 'high lands of Peru, the steppea of Tartary, Dr Bennett's life at Mentone, and the Swias arrangements But everyone could not go to the high Alps, and, as Dr Dettweiller had shown, a high alti tude was not absolutely necessary, so long as patients could camp out in pure air. And fresh air, he inciden tally remarked, was not only a cure for consumption, but a* cure for other diseases, aa his .colleagues!- had found at Cambridge.

A& to the rate of euro, he raretrtiooccl that if patients were treated in tlm early stages of ooßiitraplion some 80 per cent could be cured, In caeei where ths complaint was more manifest the perceotage of re«;overiei wan 60 or 60. If the lungs were nfFeoted pretty ooDßiderably,2s per cent could be cured. • If, however, you catch your eas?i early, ' eaid he, in conclusion, • t'uere it no reason why all Bhould not be cured. 1 These words practically sum up the whole position with regard to the open air treatment of consumption:; and they should be borne in mind by all those interested in the luatter..'

* All that glitterß is nob gold,' A proverb old and true. Neither is a cough or cold, What iti appears to yon. Do cob treat it lightly, for *1 is better to be sure, 4? That you suffer never more, - tied Woods' Gbeat Pkppebmint Curb.
