NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW IS FOUND IN BALTIMORE BALTIMORE. July 17. — The survival of Bernard Myerly. nine years old. a victim of lockjaw resulting from a stonebrufse, has increased interest in the method .of treatment used in the case by Dr Pearce Ktntzing. This is the ninth of a series of lockjaw cases in which Dr Kintzing and his assistants at the Franklin Square hos pital have used a new plan of treatment with success. The remedy is a solution of phenol of 10 per cent strength, diluted to suit the cases and administered by hypodermic injections deep into the muscles The In jections are made at intervals of about three hours at the start, with longer in tervals as the patients rallied. The full adult dose used is equivalent to about one grain of pure crystalline phenol, ten drops of the 10 per cent solution To avoid soreness, in some cases one-half of the solution diluted is injected and then the other half injected In another place.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Jul} 17 - The map shows further rains in the western states overnight, particularly in the southern half of Texas, and prospects are for more 1 extensive precipitation in Texas and Ok lahoma during tlie next forty eight hours. I Showery weather continues in the ea-stern | half of Hie heli, and there were a good man} unfavorable beav> rains in the At lantic states. The north central belli [has favorable weather Liverpool con tlnues strong in spite of large straddles and again refused the decline in our mai'- kets. our market fluctuated nervously '.his morning between public buying on rain} weather east of the Mississippi river and professional selling on the price Ixtvel and prospects for rain in the Wusnern states. There was a report here that wee vils had appeared in seven counties in Alabama, which increased the existing uneasiness in regard to probable damage! by excessive moisture. A further back ground for bullish operations is the opin ion that the bureau report to appear in the first few days of August will be very bullish, probably giving a decline in con dition up to 5 points, owing to the exist ing pessimism in those states bavinffi continued bad weather.
