profitableness of which probably exceeds
that of any considerable property
known to this age of profitable ventures.
as soon as ine pr&ciicsmwy una
usefulness of the telephone had been
established there was a great rush in
all directions to secure territory and
form sab-companies. These subcompanies
have since been largely
consolidated, and in May, 188o, there
were thirty-six in existence in the
United States. The one holding
sway over the city of New York is
known as the Metropolitan Telephone
and Telegraph Company, which itself
has four snb-companies or sub licenses
T>! - rr..l ....,1 Tola
AliC iA^UIC>UC JL ClC^i <ii?vi a^jcphone
Company, of New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company, the
WeetchesleY Telephone Companv and
the Staten IslandTelephone Company,
In the thirty-six sab-companies referred
to above no account is taken of
the sub-licenses. In New York the
Metropolitan stands for ail, and the
dealings of the parent company are
with it solely.
The parent company has an interest
in all the thirty-six sub-companies of
the United States. The aggregate
capital ot these sab-companies amounted
to $53,000,000 on the 31st day of
March, 18-S5. If we adil "to that the
$10,000,000 authorized capital of the
parent company it tuttKts tt jjmiiu
total of $60,000,000. It' lli'; parent
company were to be granted the additional
820,000,000 of authorized capital
stock they have asked for, the
grand total would foot up $83,000,'XK),
which is S3,000,000 more than the
capital stock c.f the YYe-tei n Union
Telegraph Company. "Without a
check ot some Sort it will coon reach
that and even still greater proportions
THE GEASP OF THE PARENT COMIWXV.
The interest of the parent company
in the various sub-companies is very
large ranging-all the way from 33 to
51 per cent. On the 31?t of Match,
1885, its holdings in the various companies
amounted in round numbers to
240,000 shares, the Yalow ot which
Wfc,* estimated at $23,000,000, so that,
of the agjrroiratc S&5$,0UU,<m0 of stock
held by all the mid-companies coinbined,
the parent company held a!nm>t

franchise, the latter term meaning
simply a gift for the r.jr;ii to exist,
while the purchases made atv no more

upon which there may be piaerd a ti->

speculation purposes.
WKALTH OF THE SC3C03IF.VXIES.
The combined wealth ot the subcompanies
may be ascertained, ?t least
approximately, by calculation* ba<e<l
011 the la.-t reiK>rt of the p:irei.t company,
issued to its stockholders March
32st, 1885. It is there stated iii.it the
average number of exchange c>?nnections
in the United States iva> (?;>7,0G6
per day, or 251,267,760 per > car. An
exchange connection i> what commonly
designated a call. El??-where
the report stales that the sub-cribers
pay from three cents to five cents per
connection. Snppo-e we ti.\ the average
cnarge at four cents per c ?n:u ciii?n.
Multiulv the number of c ?iine?-tions a
year, 351,297,795 by . four cr?it*, we
obtain a grand total of $10,000,710.40,
which is a fair estimate of i;?? gro<s
iiiitdmc. This is G i er een'. of :if> >ut
?175,000,000- Making ;? ! <-?<
reduction for exp-nso, ii i< not probable
that the sub-cutnpauies *>f" the
country receive a net income of
? than 6 per cent, on a combined valnaW?
tion of ?1.50,000,000 The B-!i 'IVlephone
upio-iett>" of?hr- United States
may l*e fafei> placed at that high
figure. The actual cs?pitali7.aiion, ?-xclnding
the parent company, is $.53,000,000,
as shown by c.tfifial rep -rf,
and it is very certain tiia: the average
real value of tlie Mock i? pi-r

party waiting who would pay over the i

Atlanta, Ga., Januery 12, 1S85. j
Emerging fn>ni a severe and long sp?*!l |
of typhoid fever, I di*coveml that the j
fever had settled in my riyht leg; which j
caused it to swell to an enormous si*.e, J
rfiiiaininir so unite three veal's, resisting |
n'l treatment. A small ulcer finally made j
its appearance a little above the ankle j
which refused to heal to any and all exter- j
nal application and the use of the most j
noted hi od poison remedies.
'ihc ulcer continued to enlarge, fre-!
quently discharging, perhaps, as much as :
a cupful of pus or matter per day The :
size of ihe ulcer was about two inches in j
diameter, extending to a <.'epth near the !
bone. At oiir* time it appeared tliat the
flesh in ;ill <* ntiguoi;* purls, wonid surely !
