THE BAMBERG HERALD. 1 V \3sj I ' Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1905 One Dollar a Year $ ^ MONKEY HEART FOR MAN. Chicago Professor Thinks Substitution May b< Made. A Chicago dispatch to the New York r , Herald says: Experiments which may result in knowledge permitting grafting of the heart of one animal upon another have been made by Dr. Gutherie and Dr, Carrell, of the University of Chicago, Hearts of dogs have been successfully moved up into the animal's necks and there performed their functions. Circulation of the blood in dogs has v been reversed without killing the animal, and many new things about heart action have been learned, according to Dr. Car rell, who will begin new experiments earv ' ly in October. "What we have learned," said Dr. Carrell, "gives us hope that some day we may replace a wounded or worn out heart in a human being with healthy, youthful and strong one from a living monkey." In his laboratory Dr. Carrell has switched the circulation of his dogs some arteries leaving them dry for a time, thus opening possibilities for new methods of surgery in cases of violent injuries. One of the dogs selected for experimenting was lacking in the usual amount of hair. Bis circulation was switched to cure a goitre with success, and, according to Dr. Carrell, hair began to grow in places apparently bald. In another experiment the surgeon sawed off a dog's leg and then grafted it on again without doing the animal permanent injury. Dr. Carrell was formerly a surgeon in the French army and is at the University of Chicago only to conduct his experiments. "This work is only in its infancy," he said. "I expect it will be carried on by others, until finally it will be of great and lasting benefit to mankind." LIKE FINDING MONEY. Finding health is like finding money? so think those who are sick.

A medical man hnmoronsly relates the following little experience, admitting that he "didn't think it particularly funny at t the time." fr The driver of a 'bus on which he had p: jumped happened to mention the name of i one of his patients. "It's a bad job about poor Bill X., aint |p, it air?" "Yes," returned the doctor. "Very se?fl rious case. You know him then?" "Know him," echoed the driver. "We went to school together. Poor Bill! I Bfei miss him!" M "Oh, well, while there's life, there's hope p- y' know," said the doctor. "Your friend V isn't dead yet." ?

Thus placed it blocked the whole runaway and policemen made him place it diagonally so they could pass backward and forward in front of the ? bench. Mrs. Damm told her story. It was all mm- on account of the dog, she said. Herman, in the kindness/of his heart, brought the dachshund home Saturday night, although there is barely room at the Damm flat at 61 East One Hundred and Tenth street for thb Damm family. "But he didn't take up much room," protested her man, Damm. "Judge," replied Mrs. Damm, "when I made trouble about the dog he hit me in the face." In answer to this Damm pulled up the sleeve of his shirt and displayed upon his left arm a vivid black and blue spot. He said his wife did it with a tea kettle. v ' ' One of the Damm children began to cry and the others joined in. The Damm dog began to howl.

They have been very deliberate about the matter, considering the names of many good men but the many flattering reports about Mr. Holly finally led them to invite him to make them a visit and preach for them. The gentleman from Bamberg came to the city last Sunday and delivered two able and eloquent sermons. So favorable was the impression created on the congregation by him and his wife, who is pronounced a most charming woman, that at the conference called last night especially for that purpose, he was unanimously and enthusiastically named as pastor of the church. It was practically certain beforehand that Mr. Hollv would accept the nomination which would be tendered him and he will come to this city as soon as he can arrange his affairs at Bamberg, although so great is his popularity with his present ohanre that thev have steadfastly declared they will not give him up. Mr. Holly is still a young man,although he is married and has a family. Already he is known as one of the strongest and most consecrated young ministers of the Baptist church in. South Carolina. He has been connected with a number of religious periodicals,having formerly edited a Baptist paper in Jacksonville, Fla. He is a college graduate and a man of wide information, as well as an able pulpit orator. The people of the Second Baptist church are congratulating themselves on having secured his services.?-Augusta Chronicle, Monday, September 18. G.
