Inherited

IN tbs realm OF disease the facts OF In
heritance are mos. numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas. they become ter
rible, faseful and overwhelming. No fact OF
nature is more pregnant with avful mean.
ing than the fact Of the inheritance OF
disease. 1t meets the physician on his daily
rounds. psrslyzing his art and nllins him
with disnay. The legend Of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies A. pursuing
families from generation TO generation,
rendering them desolats. The Furies still
ply their wsrk Of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in tho earb Of supersh-
ton, but appear in the mere iatelliEible but

Modern science, which has iluminated 50
many dark cerpou Of nature, has shed q
new light on the ominous words Of the
Scriptures, "The sins Of the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third aAd
fourth generation" Instances Of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. OF cases Of
