SOUND COMMON SENSE.
The Dangers of Experimenting with the
Human Body.

human ktOuN.
In human nature there seems TO be an
innate tendency which causes people to
be eternally mcddling with their bodies
and health. And it is a curious fact that
the more ignorant people are and the
less they know about the structure OF
their bodies and the functions of their
various organs. the more ready are they
TO Dhysic themselves and advise other
people what to do for all the ills that
flesh is heir to. Why this is true no
enc has ever found out: but it is fact.
Sometimes these people ask advice, but
generally OF persons that know but lit
tie, i. ~. more than they do. A per-
SCI meets friend on the street and
asks him what is good for the back
ache He is given an infallible remedy,
tries it AM receises no benefit He re-
peats this with half q dozen friends. and
finally writes 10 know what is good for
backache. Nov. there are about fifty
causes for backache. or pain in the back,
and il order TO cure the pain the cause
must be discovered.
When a man using a steam engine in
properly he doesn't go out on the street
and ask the first man he meets what is
good for a leaky steam valve, or for
some other fault in the working OF the
engine. If the plumbing i'm his house
gets out of order he doesn't ask friend
nor q newspaper what is good for de-
fectiye pipe or tap He goes to a
plumber. If his carriage is broken he
goes 10 a c. SFsa@e-maker; if his watch
doesn't keep -ood time he takes it to a
matchmaker: he doesn't try experiments
on it: Il IS valuable and foolish expert
ment NAV ruin it. And the same way
with the other examples mentioned:
foolish and ignorant experimenting
may. most likely will. only make the
matter worse.
This is equally true of the human
body when it gets out of order. One
frequently hears person say that such
a thing is good for Bright's disease. or
diabetes. or consumption. But these
terms arc about as indefinite as las
large as a piece of chalk" There are
different forms and distinct varietie as of
these and other diseases. and for each
different varlety there must he a differ

When he is sick he should go 10 a

no land, except his island, within one

TURrENTISE, RosIN, AND TAR.
When the war ended and every body here
abouts was fiat on his back financially. the
price of the products OF the long-leaved pine
was at what seems now a fabulous height.
Turrentne, tar, pitch, and rosin were worth
their weight in copper. if not in gold or silver.
Thereupon every landowner here began tap
ping his pines. although the work was called
boxing instead OF tapping. For this an axe
made for the purpose was and still Ia used.

The work of boxing continues right along
through the winter and sometimes into March.
Naturally as spring comes on, the sap be-

cut beeds freely. All the sap drips into the
cut from what may be called the roof OF the
