Horns From the Human Body.

Horns growing from the human skin
are very uncommon in their occurrence,
but one of the foreign medical journals
contains an account from a physician Of
a case of this kind treated by him, the
subject being a lahoring man of sixty
five years. The horn projected for an
inch from the lower lip on the right side,
and had blunt extremity, was firmly ad-
hcrcnt, anil the skin around at the base
exhibited superficial liberation. The fact,
rs elected, was that it had first appeared
as Il small warty growth some three years
previously, had slowly increased, and,
after being cut of with 4 razor on two
occasions, seemed to grow again quicker
each time. On the opposite side of the
same lip was what appeared to be another
warty growth in its carly stages, and the
patient was in the habit of holding his
clay pipe this side, and not on that from
which the horn grew. There were no
glands enlarged, and the patient was in
good state of health. The treatment,
which was entirely successful, consisted
in the removal of the horn, together with
the part Of the lip to which it was al
tached; Ly means Of a small Eshaped ill.,
cision under cocaine locally injected. and
bringing the edges together with one or
two suturcs. York Tribune.

"Who buy most of thems"
"Dairymen, gardeners, street car

feet will be subjected to damp, nothing
is better, and there is nothing on earth
that can equal them for making racket

Remarkable Cure for Leprosy.

The Chinese are discussing the prob
lem of leprosy, a disease which abounds
to frightful extent in certain parts of
the Celestial Empire. In the province of
Kuangtong, particularly, the scourge
abounds, even the third-class towns being
compelled to support their leper villages.
Some of the leper settlements are 200
years old, and, strangely enough, most OF
them are located in the very business
centcrs of prosperous towns. This ex-
traordinary feature is tolerated for two
reasons: First, because the people do
not fear the disease; and second, be-
cause, by being near the rich and pros
porous, the lepers can get living by
begging, thus doing away with the ncces-
sity of imposing a general tax for their
sustenancc. The Chinese doctors are
giving much attention to the study of the
disease, and it is claimed that leprosy
can be cured if it be treated soon enough.
Mgr. Chausse, Vicar Apostolic at kuang-
tong, tells of one sufferer "a Chinese mer-
chant of wealth and position) who has re-
covered from the scourgc. The treat.
mcnt was remarkable. A buffalo was
killed; then the lcpcr was thrust into the
carcass of the beast and made to lie there
among the dccaying entrails for some.
what more than week. 1t is question
whether death were not preferable to
this kind of treatment. But the patient
in thi. case submitted to the treatment
and he is now restored to health-at least
so says Mgr. Chaussc, Vicar Apostolic at
Chica0o Ners.
