10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 18%6. WONDERS OF A LEPER REMEDY, The Japanese Medicine Has Worked Strange Cures. WILL BE TESTED HERE. An Unknown Quantity to Medi- cal Science, but Very Effective. DISCUSSED BY DR, G. L. FITCH. In the Interests of Suffering Human- ity It Should Be Studied and Used. It now seems reasonably certain that the Japanese remedy jfor leprosy is about to be applied to lepers in the Twenty- sixth street hospital in this City. There may of course be some delay consequent upon securing the full amount needed for purchasing the medicine and getting it from Japan, but Supervisor Benjamin,who bas undertaken to collect the money, re- asserts his conviction that he will be able to provide at least enough of the remedy within a few months to try it here. Physiclans who have been consulted about it declared they would like to see it tested, although strictly speaking it is un- Known to science in its true character, and for that reason recommendation by the medical men might be taken as unprofes- sional. In a general way the remedy is known as a mixture of Japanese herbs, but ‘hey are not distinguished by botanical names, nor ‘bave they been classified or studied by western botanists. So the remedy is understood more in its effects than in its own character. And yet the doctors say its application can do no harm to the lepers, while it may do much good. If nothing more, it alleviates the intense sufferings of the lepers, and thus he attention and support of physi- as s palliative worthy of trial in the ests of humanit Some more light cast upon this rem- edy, now familiariy known as the Goto cure, by Dr. George L. Fitch yesterds Dr. Fitch was Government physician un- der King Kalakana in Honolulu and had servision of the leper receiving hospital here, and also 6f the leper settlement at Molokai. He saw the Goto remedy admin- istered in Honoluluand watched its effects for years. 1 it work so much good,’” he cheerfully recommend it. I »n’t know the Latin terms for the herbs, I bave the formula in Japanese terms, | t would be an easy matter to study | the herbs and classify them at any time. I ere is some arsenic in it. 1se it is not known to science some will say its use is unprofessional, a physician should not use a remedy knows mnothing about. But, as I've said, I have the formula in Japanese, and the medicine is well worth studying. ~Itis called ‘Goto remedy’ from Dr. Goto, who was born in a leper hospital in Japan, of which his father had charge, and his father's father. Indeed, the family has been devoted to the treatment of leprosy for many generations. Young Dr. Goto came here to San Francisco some years agoand took a courseat the Cooper Col- lege of Medicine. He went to Honolulu | and treated lepers there, and later re- turned to his own country, where he is now practicing among the lepers. “I know that Dr. Goto’s patients have proved that his remedy was quite success- ful, and while the people of Hawaii know | be bas not made any brilliant cures he has at least alleviated the sufferings of the afflicted and so he has abated the ravages of the disease. And, by the way, people imagine there is no suffering with leprosy, no real pain. Thatis an awful mistake, for at times the suffering is frightful. For illustration, lepers commonly have a sen- sation that some part of them is burning up, literally peing consumed as by fire, and they have all the sensation of burning by fire.” One woman I saw felt that her right arm was burning up, and she held it in a bucket of water for three weeks, and she would cry out against the horrible burning pain. A man afflicted with the disease laid for three months exposed to the trade winds of the islands to cool him- self, and those winds are fearfully cold to the natives. His only relief was in opium. I have seen several cases where leprosy disappeared and toall appearances the sufferers got well under the Goto treat~ ment.” “Then you would favor trying it here on the City lepers?” I should certainly advise it. Get it by bscription if not any other way. would do anything and everything pos- sible to help those poor creatures. Surely a few hundred dollars is not much to expend in the cause of suffering human- ity. About $500 would be enough to buy the remedy to treat all the patients out there in the Pesthouse. An apparatus for boiling the herbs and applying the rem- edy would have to be constructed. The herbs are boiled into a strong tea, will I call it? or a decoction, and then the pa- tient is put into the decoction, which is almost boiled, along with him, and he is | steeped in it fora considerable time. In addition to this he is given pills, and that is practically all there is to it.” Supervisor Benjamin hopes to be out again_in a few days and then he proposes to make a collection with which to buy the Goto medicin LECTURED ON THE Y, Professor Slate’s Discourse at the State University Last Night. The Field That Is Open to Science and the Possibilities in Store. BERKELEY, CaAL., March 4.— Professor Frederick Slate, head of the department of physics at the University of California, | lectured Jast night before the Science Asso- ciation on ‘““The Line of Investigation Which has Resulted in Professor Roent- gen’s Discovery.” The lecture was for the most partofa very technical nature and was illustrated by the use of various electrical instru- ments, which were intended to show the several stages through which experiments passed prior to the discovery by Professor Roentgen of the cathode-ray photography. Professor Slate began his lecture by mak- ing a few general statements with regard to the popular interest in the X-ray ex- | periments and the interest manifested by physicists and scientists in general. He pointed out the enormous field open aleng the line of the new discovery and the many possibilities which are in store. He showed by a series of experiments the stages through which the expecrimenter passes in arriving at different stages of fluorescence and intensity of vacuum. A tube was shown in which a vacuum was formed by a Geissler pump. In this the gas was greatly rarified. The phe- nomenon of beautifully colored lights, as the electricity passed through the rarified gas, was shown. In 1878 Crooke perfected a tube, in which there wasaimost a per- fect vacunm. A Geissler tube was exhib- ited, which showed u different character of light from that cast through the Crookes tube. Professor Slate stated that almost all of the vitally important results of Roentgen have been in print for the past two vears. About two years ago Professor T.eonard wrote an article for scientific publication, in which he traced the catbode rays from their origin in the Crookes tube out into space. The startling discovery of Roentgen was not anticipated, however. % ‘While these shadow photographs are in- teresting and novel and have a certain surgical importance, their interest to the scientist is not with the photography, but with the things which work up toit. The X rays are not cathode rays. The X rays do not do what they are reasonably ex- pected todo. The name cathode ray isap- plied to a ray ina tube. Professor Slate said that catbode rays had four distinctive peculiarities: : 2 First—Radiation when passing from air to water does not measurably change its speed. & Second—When these new rays strike upon a surface they are not noticeably re- flected—they are neither reflected nor re- fracted. Third—All ordinary light can be polar- ized. New kinds of rays have resisted all attempts to polarize them by any of the previously used methods. Consideration was made of the absorp- tion of these rays. In X rays specific gravity seems to be all that is cared for. These are the things which interest phys- icists rather than the shadow photo- graphs. It is possible to take shadowgraphs,” said Professor Slate, “through hard rub- ber, such as we bave demonstrated at our laboratories in Berkeley.” The objects which interest students of physics are to see what X rays have nega- tive properties and to study the light after it has gone out of the Crookes tube. It is probable that X rays will throw some light on the proolem of light and the connection between ordinary matter and ether. We have had some knowledge of fluorescence for a long time. After the conclusion of the lecture by Professor Slate Instructor Drew of the physics department threw a number of stereopticon views of objects photographed by the cathode process on the wall. FUN FOR BIKERS TO-NIGHT The Big Indoor Cycling Tourna- ment to Open at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. Professionals Terrill and Osen, An- nouncer Knapp and the Great Sextuplet Are Here. The indoor bicycle racing tournament and show opens to-night at the Mechanics’ Pavilion, and from all indications will be a great success. When the eight-lap track was finished last Sunday afternoon, it was pronounced | by all the riders who tried it as being tne finest indoor track they had ever ridden upon. It is well banked, fast and in all re- spects safe, the only drawbacks being two heavy posts at the east and west ends, which some thought might be a trifle too close for comfort for the rider who had the inside position in a race. Tkat the racers might have no complaint whatever, and to insure their absolute safety and to have a perfect track, Manager Wikidel attended a meeting of the di- rectors of the Mechanics’ Institute Tues- day evening and offered to pay the entire cost of removing the posts and placing in their stead two arches to support that por- tion of the gallery. Aiter considerable dis- cussion it was decided to permit him to do this, and last night a large force of carpen- ters were at work making the necessary changes. The experienced riders say the track is the fastest indoor course they have ever raced upon, aud it will be no great sur- prise if many of the existing records are lowered during the tournament. The training quarters for the racers are at the Polk-street end of the building, where each club has commodious quarters and the men can rest in comfort between heats of races. The ten-mile club cup race, the first heat of which will be run off to-night, is exciting the greatest interest and rivalry among the clubmen, and two fast riders §roq: each club are being specially trained or it. A large number of regulars from the Presidio were at the track last night, as they are greatly interested in the military relay race to be run next Monday night between infantrymen and cavalrymen, ten men on each side, for a valuable prize. One of the most interesting features of the cycle show will be the celebrated Fow- ler sextuplet, which arrived here yesterday from the East and will be used on the track and shown in one of the exhibits. The wheel which Champion Zimmerman rode in Australia and France last year will also besnown. The management will give away a bicycle every night as a gate prize, and there is such a large and varied number of them, the fortunate winner can have his or her pick as to make and style. Oscar Osen of the Olympic cyclers, the fast professional, arrived from Santa Mor- ica yesterday, and tried the Pavilion track last night. He exhibited remarkable speed and passed lots of the men as though they were standing still. He said that J. M. Campbell, the champion of Oregon, who was also at Santa Monica, will reach here to-morrow for the tournament. Probably the most interest in the new arrivals centered in W. A. Terrill of the Bay City Wheelmen, who came in on a late train from Coronado, where he has been all winter trying for records. Terrill marked the last day of his stay there by lowering the world’s half-mile tandem record to 52 3-5 seconds in conjunction with W, A. Taylor. Terrill, Campbell and Osen are all crack professional riders, and tbe management of the tournament will arrange special events for them and other “pro’s.”’ to give the public a chance to see them compete. Terrili weighs 190 pounds and is in perfect condition. Charles 8. Wells, the Bay City’s 200- pound champion, has made the best time on_ the track thus far, riding a lap at a gait which would have meant a mile in 1:45 had he kept it up. This will give some idea of how fast the track really is. W. Fred Knapp, the “‘only’”’ announcer, without whom no coast race meeting is complete, returned yesterday from Port- land especially for the tournament. Knapp has officiated as announcer since when the mind of man remembers not—certainly ever since bicycle races were held in Cali- fornia. Before that he was the profes- sional world’s champion when the mile record stood at 2:34.and he even now claims to hold records which *‘stand still.” Be this as it m:ly. Knlrp is a feature of all cycle meets, and his jolly ways and catchy m{lngs have made him friends everywhere. Members of the League of American Wheelmen will be admitted to the races at haif price upon presentation of their mem- bership cards. The one-mile race to be run to-night will be a great event, as the entries repre- sent the fastest men of the coast. The other races are also well chosen, and as all the prizes are valuable and the track is safe the men will have every incentive to ride their best. From the advance sale of seats an immense crowa is assured. EXCELLED IN THE MUD, Greyhurst Easily Outfooted His Field in the Flying Stakes. CANDELARIA WAS SECOND. Cicero Won the Steeplechase—Little Cripp'e and George Miller Were Both Returned Winners. The flying stakes for two-year-olds was the feature of the racing the last day of the California Jockey Club's two weeks’ meeting. Considering the uncertain state of the weather the attendance was good. Nine youngsters contested for the prize, which was worth $700 to the winner. Rey del Tierra, the brother of Rey Alfonso, went to the post a slight favorite over the Burns & Waterhouse duo Candelaria and Rowena B, who receded in the betting from 6 to 5 to 2to L The winner turned np in the Martenhurst gelding Greyhurst, who gradually forged ahead of Candelaria, Alma Dale and Lindendale and won com- paratively easy at the end by three lengths, with Candelaria in the place about the same distance in front of the favorite. The winner, wno went to the post at 414 to 1 in the betting, covered the four and a half furlongs in :57 flat, a very good Earformnnce. When the barrier was raised owena B, who sported silk for the first time, jumped backward, dislodging her rider, Donnelly, from his seat, and ran the reverse way of the track. There were no striking features about the racing. Favorites were successful in three out of six essays. The Lone stable’s Circe was made a warm 6 to 5 favorite for the opening six- furlong dash, but was unable to head the field at any stage of the journey. Hy Dy, the 23¢ to 1 second choice, won by a scant head in a arive from Sleeping Child, who slumbered not at 12 to 1. Louis Ezell’s Kamsin wasa 1to4 shot for the mile selling event for three-year- olds and won by himself, with Pearson in tge place and Senator Hoffman a distant third. The steeplechase was run over the me- B e “THE CALL” R ACING CHART. Tlllrty-Sllfll Day of the California Jockey Cli trict Track, Wednesday, March 4, 1896. ub. Weather Fine. Track Sticky.

Cicero ruled a 7to5 favorite, with Talbot Clifton’s gelding, The Lark, a warm second choice at 8to 5. *‘Mi Lud’s 'prse” should haye made a closer thing of it, but when racing into the stretch on nearly equal terms with Cicero, T. Murphy turned wide, giving the rail to the favorite and was beaten out quite handily. Mestor, who galloped all the way, was third. That H. Martin mistook his vocations when hedecided to become a jockey is an unmistakable fact. Nature endowed him with a vast quantity of patience, and he should have been a fisherman. He had the mount on the 8 to 5 favorite Oakland in the mile and a sixteenth run over the inside course, 2nd in pursuance of his dili- gent waiting tactics finished second. Two Cheers led to the stretch, when wittle Cripple assumed the lead and in a drive won gy a length from the favorite, who was ridden only the last sixteenth of the ourney. Possibly Oakland is not unlike izzie H, and can be placed with a silken thread. The six-furlong handicap was a gift for George Miller. The “Kansas City Hin- doo’” went to the post a9 to 20 favorite, and won under wraps from Benham. There were but four starters. Track and Paddock Items. A number of thoroughbreds, the proper- ty of different owners, were sold by Killip & Co. at the Bay District track yesterday. Addie M went for $100 and Gussie for $480. Both were formerly raced by Wil- liams & Morehouse and were purchased by J. W. Clark. J. P. Woolman disposed of Emma D and Miss Gentry. The former was knocked down to C. W. Richard for $1000, and the flying Miss Gentry went to W. L. Stanfield for $600. “‘Butch” Fisher got Leon L, at one time a promising colt, for $150 and Mt. Roy was secured by J. Kruse for $140. Rico, Happy Day and Corinne Buckingham went for a song. LADIES' DAY AT INGLESIDE, Seven Well-Filled Events for the Opening Day at the Popular Course. Ingleside track will reopen to-day with an excellent card of seven well-filled events. As on former occa- sions, it will also be ‘“ladies’ day,” and extra cars will be run by the railroad company for the accommodation of the fair sex. The track, considered the finest in the country for winter racing, will be in good cendition, and with the fine class of horses entered no doubt a big throng will be in attendance at the popular course. THE THISTLE GAMES. They Will Take Place at Shell Mound Park, July 4. The games committee of the San Kran- cisco Scottish Thistle Club met for the first time last evening at the clubrooms, 32 O’Farrell street. The meeting was called to order at 8 p. M. by Royal Chief J. D. Coulie, and the committee immediately proceeded to effect a permanent organiza- tion. J. D. Coulie was selected as chair- man, George W. Paterson as secretary, and John Ross as treasurer. Shell Mound Park, Berkeley, was fixed as the place for holding the next grand annual gathering and games, and Saturday, July 4, 1896, as the date. Resolutions pertaining to the manner of conducting the annual gather- ing were proposed and adopted. It was the sense of the meeting that many new features be introduced in the programme of events, and an effort be made to secure the presence at the gathering of represen- tatives of every organization in the City and neighboring towns. Much other routine business was transacted. Before aajourning the royal chief announced the following as his appointments on the various sub-committees: ¥ Adyertising committee—John Ross (chair- man), P. Keith, George W. Paterson. Invitation committee—J. D. Coulie (chair- man), J. Gillies, Wililam Dick. Printing committee—George W. Paterson (chairman), Alex Rh';r, John Ross. Music committee—Hugh Steele (chairman), Alex Young, J. D. Coulfe. Prize committee—Alex Sharp (chairman), J. Gillies, J. D. Coulie. Finance committee—P. Keith (chairman), Alex Young, H. Steele. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the royal chief. —_——————— To provide troops for Cuba,.Spain is stated to be making raids on the Canary Islands, seizing all the men that can be found.

Olympic Club Grounds Are Being Improved—Waiting for a Dry Cinder Path. According to the present outlook there will be a boom in outdoor athletic sports this summer. Leonard Gill, captain of the Olympic Club, said yesterday that considerable in- terest will be manifested by athletes and the lovers of athletic sports in field and track this year. Men are already at work repairing and fixing up the running paths at the Olympic outdoor grounds under the watchful eye of Superintendent McIntyre, an old athlete, who thoroughly under- stands the kind of work that is deemed necessary to complete a groper sprinting track. A large fence will be erected on the south side of the grounds so as to prevent sand or refuse matter from the hills sweep- ing over the cinder paths. It isthonught that the grounds will be ready for the ath- letes who are anxious to commence train- ing by the latter part of this month. éapmln Gill says that impromptu games will be held just as soon as the cinder paths are in condition to receive spikes, and that practice for the championship ames will commence immediately follow- ing the opening day. There are quite a number of athletes among the members of the club, who are patiently waiting for an opportunity to limber up after a rest of many months. Captain Gill is of the opinion that he can pick from among the new members who joined within the past tweive months some excellent material. He is confident that if the directors will give him a hclfl- ing hand he will have ready a team of all- round athletes which will make an ex- cellent stand against the university teams in the championship contests. “T understand,” said Captain Gill, “that the University of California do not pro- Eou to send a team to the East this year; ut there may be, nevertheless, a team selected from the different clubs of the Pacific Athletic Association to represent California in the Eastern championships. The officers of the association believe that if a team composed of twenty-six first-class all round athletes journeyed East and con- tested at some of the prominent meetings which will be held in the large Eastern Athletic Union, the result would be very material to this coast, as the patrons of stirring interest in outdoor athletics. ““As captein of the Olymvic Club I will certainly do all in my power to revive the fading interest in what should be a very popular pastime on this Coast and thatis outdoor athletics. “Immediately following the champion- ship games a team will be selected from the clubs of the association to visit Port- land, Seattie, Butte City, and other large cities of the Northwest. If the trip shall prove successful financially, the athletes will journey East over the North- ern route and then the people of California will be in a position to_judge what our athletes are capable of doing when pitted against the cracks of the Eastern cities. “The team that represented the university of Berkeley !ast year in Eastern games was composed entirely of students from Berkeley, and, as will be remembered by all lovers of sport, it worr many victories and added much toward increasing an interest in college sports on this coast. T think that a team selected from the Pacific Association should make a grand showing against the best material the Eastern clubs of note gan produce in field and track competitions.” I hope that the scheme now contemplated will prove suc- | cessful and that California will be repre- sented this year at the Eastern champion- ships.” NEW _TO-DAY.
