"The abrogation of the power to
propogate his kind as the proper
treatment of the habitual and con
tinued criminal as well as the vic
iously Insane, was the remedy for
race betterment as advocated by Dr.
Banks McNary, or Kiuston. at the
3eaboard Medical convention here
this week and which was endorsed
by the convention.
Dr. McNary, who is superinten
dent of the foeble-mlnded school in
Kinslon. said In part:
"The editor of a New York Jour
nal in commenting on a Connecticut j
taw, said, 'Could such laws be en- 1
' orced in the whole United States,
less than four generations would
eliminate nine-tenth of the crime,
n&antly, and sickness of the present
?.eneratlon In our land.'
"First1, confirmed criminals and
?r.eDtal defectives should be consid
ered subjects for medical and surgi
cal treatment; Second, experience or
xperts convince us that neither pun-J
Ichment. education, nor envlroment
.tre effective In restoring normal con
ditions; Third, heredity 1b considered
be the important factor in the
perpetuation of crime and dcgencr
?ry1. therefore, the power of procrea
tion should be abrogated; Fourth,
he state In exerclcing Ita duty to Iti
'itlxens has the right to enact laws,
is the guardian of the privileges and
rights of Its citizens, which will pre
vent the procreation of the criminals
and defectives, and thereby offer
protection against conditions which
are harmful to its social integrity.
Fifth, history shows that the eunuch
'a not deficient in intellect, vigor or
courage, and he has been prised for

IT TO HER FRIENDS.

Haa Proven a Godsend to Her.
It Is always Interesting to listen to
the statements of our friends, and
especially when you know they are
sincere and honest in what they say.
Added interest Is created In a state
ment coming from one who has spent
a lifetime in Boston, where she Is
well known socially.
Such a person Is Annie Stewart,
who resides In Boston, and Is pos- ,
sessed of the respect and confidence
of her associates, and Is willing for
nnyone to csll on her to verify the
following signed testimonial.
"I have suffered with stomach
trouble for the past seven years. It
took the form of Indigestion and
dyanepsla. I had dlsxy spells and
headaches and after I ate a little food
it would ferment ana cause gas to
form In my stomach. I had pains all
over my body, and was chronically
constipated. My liver was torpid,
md I felt generally miserable. I had
doctored and had been In the boe
oltsl, but received no permanent ro
ll"/. I was so nervous and restless
that at night I eould scarcely sleep.
The ru pressing under toy heart
-a used pslpltatlon, and when I srose
in the morning I was Jnst as tired as
when I retired. About two weeka
ago I began to take tonollne, and I
can truthfully state that It has done
wonders In my esse. I am feeling
like a new woman and can eat any
kind of fdod. I sleep the night
throogh snd hsve no more aches or
TMlns; fa fact, Ik bu cured me. and
I am recommending It t* an of my
frlendfi. as It has been a godeend to
me." Worthy * Etheridge sell and

There are nnmerons symptoms of
this trouble that tonollne e.en re
lieve In fact, any of the following
may denote affections of tbe stom
ach; Indigestion, dyspepsia, belch
ing of wind, bad breath, sick throb

"May I not appeal to the members
Of our most noble profession who
are not only the conservators of
public health, but who. are and al
ways will be the jromoters of public
good In every sense of the word:
equipp*?d through years of Btudy and
effective service of their professional
duties, with courageous convictions
and cultured mentality to do the
right, we who stand at the very gate
way of civilized conditions, ready
ever to lend a ready hand in promot
ing any movement that is for the
public weal. Again I say to you of
the medical profession, may I not
ask that ih? study and Investigation
of this subject be approached with
open mind, with the Judgement un
warped by an emotional sentimen
tality, and that we may have the sat
isfaction that when we pass to the
beyond, that the life of posterity
may b"S ?v?n!er, happier and hotter
J by us having lived. Feeling that
i when so studied there can be but one
verdict: that of enlightened approv
al."
