MYSTERIOUS DISADVANTAGES.


They Are Accounted For by the Explosive
Medicines Now In USE
New York Times
Explosive as nitro-glycerine is known to
be, 1t IS far inferior in power to many other
explosives. Among the new additions to
the materia medica are several which, though
harmless when uumixed with anything else,
may form lrightfully explosive compounds
when mixed with some other remedy. For
example, chlorate OF potash and glycerine
form an explosive in comparison with which
nitro-gl yeerine is tame and harmless. Now,
it often happens that person, after gargling
his throat with glycerine, swallows q chlor-
ate of potash lozenge. 1t is then only neces-
sary for him to experience slight concus-
sion, such as is produced when a man acct
dentally stumbles and strikes larap-post
for an explosion to follow Tincture of
iodine is also frequently applied to the in
terror of the throat of a patient who soon
afterward garsles his throat with So
luton of ammonia. This forms
compound even more explosive than that
formed by chlorate of potash and gycerine,
so explosive in fact, that the mere vibration
of the throat caused by an effort to speak
will result in an explosion. As to hypophos-
phite OF lime and oxide of silver, either of
those will occasionally explode spontane-
ousy and when unmixed with anything else.
And yet it is probable that hundreds of peo-
pie swallow these explosives every day in the
year.
Any one of the explosives just mentioned
explodes with such violence as to reduce the
receptacle in which it is exploded to an i'm
palpabe powder. Curiously enough, such
explosions are rarely accompanied with any
great noise, unles the explosives are placed
in contact with some substance as rigid as
iron or granite A single scruple of oxide of
silver placed in the waistcoat of a fat man,
and exploded by percussion, makes report
no louder than that caused by clapping the
hands, but it destroys the fat man so COM
pletely that not the slightest particle OF him
can ever be discovered except by a chemical
analysis of the atmosphere. This simple ex-
pertinent, which can be tried by any person
who has fat friend will be more conclusive
as to the effect of oxide of silver when ex-
be- o0'' '''''' GU '''O''' . % P''' '''Ol 'O'''O
We now see what becomes of the men who
mysteriously disappear, They are men who
have taken some explosive medicine. A
slight shock, such as a collision with a small
boy, or an umbrella carried under the arm of
some needless pedestrian causes the medi-
cine to explode, and the report is so slight
and the disappearance of the victim so in
Simultaneous and complete that the whole
affair passes unnoticed,
Let the doctors look into this matter 1t
is one which closely concerns their prosper
ity. If they are to have the goodwill and
assistance of undertakers and the confidence
of the public generally, they must prescribe
no more explosive medicines.

she was bound out to service until she should

circumstances which lead to the composition
of a favorite bit of verse or prose- This
hymn was originally entitled IAN Apology

Lady" and it was sent, when first
written, to the lady who had unkindly criti-

herself daily for little twilight walk, &C.
cusing her of ''neglecting her family by
doing so.
In 1924 the verses were published, with
the authors permission by DR.. Nettletou in
his volume OF Village Hymns, and since that
time it has been Familiarity known and sung

a Call for the strong Hand.


LONDON. Jan 1o.-The Marquis of Harting
tor. Secretary OF State for War, in a speech
last, evening, referring to the condition of
Ireland. said that through miserable hatred
and hidsous conspiracy he had lost rela
tive beloved by all his brothers, Lord Fred
e-ick CavendiSh He had, lac said, the
greatest confidence in Earl Spencer, the
Lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and Trevelyan,
the Chief Secretary who went there at
time of great risk. An irresponsible
society existed there, side by side
with very threatening agitation and wide
spread sympathy with crime. Secret So
cieties, the Marquis said, no doubt existed in
Russia, Germany, France and America, and
where they existed extreme measures were
al ways necessary. The evil must be grappled
with. The Irish problem could only be met
by firm determination. The Marquis said
he did not think the matter was hopeless.
The law must be strengthened to meet
the exceptional condition of the country.
The government must show that murder
would meet its just reward. Home rule, he
said, could never be permitted in Ireland.
1t had been suggested that the government
should find funds to establish peasant pro-
prietarv in Ireland, but he strongly con
demned the idea of paving out the hard
earned funds in the English exchequer
for such purpose, unless it could
be shown that the people we've
capable and willing to work Although he
could not say crime had been eradicated,
there we're clearly good results from tire ex-
ceptional legislation in regard to Ireland.
He had every reason TO believe the distress
in Ireland could be met from local sources of
relief without an appeal for help from the
imperial funds. He believed a little rest
was necessary for Ireland
