I am with you for success.Nettie Fursdon, 2603 Vestry Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Charcoal As A Remedy. Query: I have always thought that the use of charcoal was beneficial for the stomach, and used it very often, both in powdered and tablet form. Here comes the adviser of the within slip and talks like it was injurious to the system without the use of a purgative. Kindly give me your views regarding same. The clipping reads as follows: "Charcoal is very effective in clearing the complexion. Mix one teaspoonful of powdered charcoal with water and honey, to be taken for three nights in succession. Then use some simple purgative, such as rhubarb or magnesia, to remove it from the system. Taken in this way the result is the same as if calomel were used, with none of the bad effects of the latter. The purgative must not be omitted, otherwise the charcoal, poisoned by absorption, will remain in the system." Answer: My opinion is that the article claims altogether too much for the effect of the charcoal. It is all right to take it with honey, and it is a good remedy. There is no need, however, of taking the physic afterwards. The charcoal is absolutely insoluble. It will pass through the alimentary canal without doing any harm whatever. Of course, too much of it taken, say a pound or so, its presence in the stomach and bowels might create some disturbance, but in any reasonable quantities it cannot do the slightest bit of harm. There is no poison possible by charcoal; it will not be absorbed, but if it is absorbed, it will do no harm. 523 DRUGLESS HEALING By Psychic Methods.

Typhoid Fever. a Each case deserves a single nurse. The best nurse is one with training in her work, and of these the one who knows the method of treatment and its capabilities. A "trained" nurse, a synonym of expense and worry, unfortunately to some of the laity, is not necessity. In the case of a child, the best nurse, if her he 1'h allow, is its mother, a sister or some one of her family. An adult male or female of moderate intelligence, some aptitude and fair perseverance does very well, if the medicul attendant give the proper instructions and is sure to supervise the execution thereof. The home treatment is superior to the hospital treatment in most particulars. The most powerful argument, and the final one, is the greater mortality in institutions. At home the subject has no sense of isolation or neglect. No longing for his family, more constant nursing, ready redress for complaints. No dangers from the transportation of his sick body. He feels security and protection, a greater hope of recovery. He responds more quickly to treatment. In fine, he receives at home the earliest diagnosis and its proper application.-Ex. A Remedy For Felon. By Dr. L. H. Worthington, Montrose, Take the marrow of a beef's backbone; you can get it at any butcher shop. Cut a piece two inches long and split it open with a small knife and apply the inside to the finger or part affected, being careful to press it gently down until the air is excluded as much as possible. The philosophy of the cure is, the finger taints or rots the marrow, and this process of decomposition absorbs all the fever in the finger. Change the application every four or five hours. By the time you have used three or four applications, all fever and pain is gone, and often the first application is sufficient to effect a cure. I learned this from an old hunter, and have cured more than forty felons, and the number of ordinary boils, I could not remember. Nutrient Injections.

Professor Weltmer's Telepathy Class JOIN A REAL TELEPATHY CLASS The Only Practical Course in Telepathy Ever Attempted FREE To All Who Unselfishly Love Their Fellowmen 525 TELEPATHY MEANS-the transmission of thought direct from one mind to another. Is it unreasonable to think that the Mind of Man, which has evolved and, by the use of great blunt fingers, builded the delicate Wireless Telegraph Machine, which transmits thoughts through space, is able to transmit thoughts directly without the use of a machine of any kind? We have been interested in Telepathy many years, and have come to the point in our experimentations where we are ready to undertake to make a world-wide application of it in many ways, and at the same time gather the materials from which to formulate laws for the widest possible application of this wonderful natural force. OUR PLAN Each Thursday evening, Prof. S. A. Weltmer will send out a message by Telepathy to all who become receivers by joining the Telepathy Class. The message will be sent between 9:00 and 9:30 p. m., central time. We furnish all members with the complete instructions, comprising a Course in Telepathy without charge. To safe-guard the experiments from any chance of fraud, intentionally or innocently, each Thursday evening a different committee of three of the subscribers in attendance at the Weltmer Institute will select a message and present it to Prof. S. A. Weltmer at the exact time that he is to begin sending it. Then the Committee make affidavit that no one (including S. A. Weltmer) has seen or been informed of the message until it is handed to S. A. Weltmer, who is to send it. Then the receivers who have been receptive (by following the instructions we furnish free) at the same time Prof. Weltmer is sending the message, make a report of what they receive (on a blank furnished by us for the purpose) and mail this report to us, where they are carefully assorted, numbered and filed. Only reports bearing a post-mark of the Friday following the Thursday evening experiment, are counted, thus guarding against intentional or innocent deception. This makes fraud impossible and gives the resulting conclusions a full scientific value. ADVANTAGES TO RECEIVERS. We furnish all instructions FREE-we admit all members to honorary membership in the "Concentration Course," which now has 8,800 members in all parts of the world, and on receiving the report of the Thursday Evening Trial for the message, we print the four last correct messages and a lesson analyzing the reports of receivers and telling of Health and Success benefits, in each issue of NEW THOUGHT. All receivers are benefited through Concentration and the Mental Exercises, and many are learning of psychic matters, and developing physically to a wonderful degree. Hundreds have reported themselves healed of disease and poverty. We invite you to join us-and will send application blanks for as many of your friends as may wish to join with you, to form a club for home study and experimentation. You can help us formulate the Science of Telepathy and we can help you in Psychic Research and Health and Success. Sign the coupon below and get the first of the lessons for study. In these classes there are now already enrolled more than 2,500 people, new applications are coming in continually, and there are 8,800 in the former classes. many of whom will re-enroll immediately on reading this advertisement, so in view of the fact that this class will be limited to only 5,000 members, you must decide quickly. Membership and the Lessons may be obtained only in one way. They are free to all subscribers of NEW THOUGHT, or any sick friend who needs the Health benefits.

This Calendar includes six months. There are famous Axioms, Health, Success and Harmony thoughts for each day, and a blank for you to fill in your best thoughts for the day, These 180 Aphorisms are the very germs of the seeds sown by the books of the greatest Authors.

Yours truly, And now Ants and Typhoid. one more insect has been added to the list of disease carriers. An investigator by the name of Meyer thinks he has discovered that the common ant carries typhoid fever germs. The reasons he gives are very fantastic. He had some mice in a cage. Some ants had access to the cage, also. The mice got typhoid. He thinks the mice caught it from the ants. He says not only the mice were infected, but he also became affected, as he determined by examination of his own secretions. No doubt all of this was very serious and real to the learned professor, but it reads like a case of hysteria pure and simple. Of course no one wants ants crawling around. or mice either, but the idea that they bring typhoid fever is all fudge. To convert all the crawling things into bugaboos is poor work. in writing to advertisers, please mention A Surgeon's Mistake. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-A pair of surgeon's forceps, accidentally sewed up in her abdomen after an operation eleven years ago, caused the death of Miss Mary G. Donovan, of this city, on Wednesday. The operation in which the unfortunate mistake occurred was performed by a surgeon of high repute, who has since died. The facts were suspected only a few days ago, following an X-ray examination. Miss Donovan was operated on at the University Hospital immediately, but it had been too long delayed and death followed a few hours later. It was stated by the young woman's brother to-day that the operation eleven years ago was at first believed to have been a success. Afterward strange symptoms developed, and since that time Miss Donovan's life has been one long search for the cause of her illness.

By Mrs. Lillie Goodrich, 133 Laurel Avenue, When I was a girl of sixteen or seventeen a lady in our place had consumption, and when she got so low she could not speak out loud any more they employed me to wait on her and sleep on the couch by her bed, so she could touch me if she wanted anything in the night. Now, why is it, if you can tell me, that I did not get a germ and die? Or did they have the consumption different those days than now? Social Hygiene. With the kingdom alive within us we will find "dry rot" nowhere, nor will opposition discourage us. Do not make a plan and then attempt to coerce the people to become subject to that plan. Follow the leadings of the spirit within Make every conversation you. a message, every contact with men true missionary work. The average man looks upon social hygiene as stirring up a subject about which the least said the better. I do not coincide with this opinion, but I know it to be the opinion of the majority of people, especially people who imagine they have religion. Frankness, out In writing to advertisers, please mention spoken candor, speaking the truth without fear of consequences, is unknown to such people, and they will not receive with enthusiasm any attempt to bring such subjects into public discussion. For fifteen years I have been trying to get the city authorities here, with whom I have been acquainted all these years, to introduce some practical plan to check the spread of venereal diseases. It would be the easiest thing in the world. It is absolutely feasible. The damage from venereal diseases can hardly be over-estimated, and yet these men won't act in the matter. It has always been that way, they say, and they have no faith in trying to introduce any revolutionary measures. Yet I have not lost my patience. Nor do I allow it to trouble me. I deliver my message wherever and whenever I can. Having delivered it, I turn the consequences over to Providence, knowing that in his own good time, and in his own way, it will bear fruit. Urticaria. Urticaria is sometimes called hives, also nettle rash. It appears suddenly and looks like bee stings or nettle stings.
