Edible Earth.

Much has been written about the
earth-eating tribes of various countries.
but it is not generally known that the
inhabitants OF Penacova. Il village in
Portugal have for generations eaten a
variety Of earth found in the neigh bor-
hood. 1t is said that any of them
leaving home is afflicted with q singu-
lar malaiy with gastric symptoms UNI
less provided with supply of the
earth. The reason of this is probably
the presence of arsenic in the earth
which is known to produce these sim
gular effects upon its habituul con-
sumers. The fact that DR.. Nogel has
found none in it by cursory examina-
ton. but on the contrary, has de-
tected that it contains about double the
quantity of nitrogen found in similar
soils from the adjacent fields. lends
plausioility to the view that the active
substance may be an alkaloid. The
whole question could be easily settled
by competent chemist. anu it is to be
hoped that some one will undertake
its investigation.

How Ii WQA Named.

The origin of the name America
has recently been discussed by the
geographical society of Berlin. Some
held that it came from a range Of
mountains in Central America called
by the natives Amerique. and that
Vespucci was not called Amerigo, as it
is not u name in the saint calendar OF
Italy. They asserted that he changed
his name from Alberigo to Amerigo,
after the latter was coming into use us
n name for the western world. Signor
Cow, however, has proved that Albert
co, in the Florentine language, is iden-
teal with Amerigo and II letter OF
Eespucci. dated 1900, found recently
in the archives of the duke OF Gonzag;L
at Muntua shows that he sometimes
subscribed himself as Amerigo. More
over, the natives call the mountaine
Amerisque, not Amerique. SO that the
question may be considered settled in
favor OF the personal name.

In treating ordinary cuts, cleanli-
ness and care are generally more
requisite than skill. II the cut be en-
tensive, or an artery, vein or any other
important part be injured, it be-
comes q more urgent matter. Acct
dental cuts from knives, cutting tools,
scythes. &C.. are moro likely to occur
ON the face and limbs than on the
body. All that is requisite in general.
is to bring the parts together US &C.
curately as possible and to bind them
up; this is usually done by adhesive
plaster when the cut ceases to bleed.
Nothing is SO good for this purpose as
paper previously washed over on one
side with thick gum-water. and then
dried; when used it is only to be
slightly wetted with the tongue. When
the cut bleeds but little. it is we'll to
soak the part in warm water for few
minutes. or to keep q wet cloth on it.
This removes inflammation and pain,
and also a tendency to fainting, which
a cut gives some persons. II the
bleeding be too copious. Dab the part
with o rag wetted with creosote. II
the wound be large, it should be sewed
up. II the blood that issues be very
scarlet it may be concluded that an
artery has been touched, and then.
whenever the bleeding cannot be
stopped. medical aid must be pro-
cured; the best method to pursue. II
to bind up the wound tightly or tt
hold q finger strongly against the par
that bleeds.

It's sometimes said patent
medicines are for the igno-
rant. The doctors foster this
idea.
1.-The people," we're told,
"are mostly ignorant when it
comes to medical science"
Suppose they are! What
a sick man needs is not knowl-
edge, but a cure, and the medi-
cine that cures is the medicine
for the sick.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery cures the "do
believes and the "don't be-
lieves." There's no hesitance
about it, no eff" nor "possi-
bly,"
1t says" can cure you,
only do as l direct"
Perhaps it fails occasionally.
The makers hear of it when it
does, because they never keep
the money when the medicine
fails to do good.
Suppose the doctors went
on that principle. eve beg
the doctors pardon. It
wouldn't dol!
