The man who recognizes fully the limita'
tions of medicine is the safest and most prac-
tical adviser. The time is fast approaching
when hygienic and preventive medicine must
supersede in great degree the methods of
the old healing art. Less credit given tC
drugs results in greater reliance on measures
that render them unnecessary And thus a
knowledge of limitation becomes an increase
of power The time has come when vigil
ant, broad minded (but strictly scientific,
eectricism should be the aim of the physician
of any school, who would make the most of
the marvellous growth of the medical sciences
in our day Docility, not dogmatism, is the
spirit of true science, and it is gaining ground
in the medical professionalism Orleans Pic

The Roumanian restaurant, with its band

feature of the concert is the shrill high
notes drawn from his Pans flute by one of
the players, who at times distinctly produces
a sound that initiates the howl of a dog

is one of the best pieces of their unwritten

The brain, heart, stomach, ETC., of this un
fortunate man are intact, as in life The

ligatures being drawn with such force as to
leave deep burrows in the flesh. This done,
he appears to have been covered with a thick
coat of btumen, lime and pounded resin,
and to have been enwound from head to foot
with bandages soaked in some glutinous
preparation which caused them to adhere
with such tenacity that they had to be sawn
off. The agonized expression of the face, the

New Metals.

According to The Chemiker zeitung Zoe
them, at the last sitting of the Russian Min
eralogical society, K D. Chrustschof demon
strated the existence of a new metal which
he has just discovered, and to which he gives
the name russium. 1t approximates closely
to thorium, and is one of the bodies whose
existence was foreseen by Prof. Mendelejef
We learn also that DR.. Kruss has named the
metal which he has detected along with nickel
and cobalt, gnomium.
