The PREMIER has the greatest amount of effective Ibraking-surface of any car in America, 526 inches. This pears that it can be absolutely relied upon to respond most promptly and most cflectively at all times. It is also an joften-demonstrated fact that the PREMIER braking sys- tem remains in perfect working-condition for the longest posible period of time. ‘The same extraordinary care is carried out in every feature— sales, [rames, steering-gears, bearings—to the minutest detail In short, while the general motor-car_practice-is to build] for normal service requirements, baring the responsibility lof emergencies up to the owner—the PREMIER practice is to anticipate all service requirements and to provide the most effective safeguards against every emergency a motor car may meet. ‘Asa result, in the important reliability contests in which it Ins been entered, the PREMIER has made a record abso- lately unequalled by ary other car. Added to this, the PREMIER reputation for dependability and all-round efficiency in private ure, is one which has established it as the first American car, regardless of any question of price. “When the PREMIER COMPANY took out a license under the Selden Patent, they entered into an arrangement which not only protected the future customers, but everyone Irho had ever bought « PREMIER, since they paid ties. covering every PREMIER which had been Arrange for a demonstration at your Premier ‘Agency.

HADWEN, M.D. According to one of our daily new papers, a leading medical official of large London hospital has been un- bosoming himself to a ubiquitous re- porter, and in the course of his mar- velous narration he informed him that drugs were becoming a thing of the past; an entirely new and scientific process was now adopted by the up- to-date physician. It runs as follows: A patient is taken ill, the doctor pricks his skin and draws a drop of blood, puts it under the microscope and sees what germs he can find; having found the germ which he has probably made up his mind beforehand is the germ he ought to find, he drops as many as he can get together into a test tube of some cultivating medium, where the germs are permitted to thrive in lux- uriant millions. They are then pe- riodically injected into a horse; the horse’s blood is drawn off when it has coagulated, the clear fluid which rises to the surface is pumped into the patient, and he is left to take his chance whether he gets better or worse. “It is all so wonderfully simpl this medical official remarked, “and, of course, absolutely scienti If the patient gets well, the injection gets the credit; if the patient gets worse, it is the cussedness of the individual that hinders the recovery; everything has been done that science can prescribe, and there is nothing more to be said upon the subject FURTHER DISCOVERIES Then there is the cholera bacillus; a very interesting bacillus is this. It is found just where it ought not to be found, in the bodies of persons who are quite healthy, and who decline to take on cholera simply because the cholera bacillus takes it into its micro- scopic head to choose one of the human workshops for its lodging; and when Professor Koch looks grave as he gingerly handles a test tube full of these deadly germs, Professor Klein smil ignificantly and swallows the contents without being any the worse for it; but for all that, the comma bacillus must be the cause of cholera, because the infallible “expert” has come to the conclusion that only a germ could cause the cholera, and this (Continued on page 702) 701 The Night of the Bath If you want tomake the Children’s Bath Night a time of joy and de- light, and in every wavy a success, see that PEARS’ SOAP is used. There isa special charm about it that you do not find in any other. Pears’ Soap is so soft, soothing and grateful to the children’s delicate skins that they take a real pleasure in having itas their Companion of the Bath. But, more than all, it completely cleanses and purifies the skin, and preserves its youthful bloom unim- paired. This efficacy arises from the fact that PEARS’ is all pure soap of the very highest quality. TABLISHED 1789 comicbooks.com
