FACTS ABOUT RollS.
The Pus Discharged from Thorn Is Full
of Dangerous Germs.

VI dangerous Germs.
Boils arc caused by germs, but it is
not fully determined just how the germs
find access, but they are probably re-
ceivcd through some slight abrasion or
other injury TO the skin. The pus which
is discharged is full of germs. A slight
injury in the vicinity of any of the
glands of the body through which
germs are given opportunity for en-
trance, is often followed by enlarge
ment of the glands. An injury to the
face for instance, will cause the glands
of the neck and jaw to swell. Some
times from inilamcd tonsils germs find
access and are carried by the lymphatics
along to some point where they OBJ
struct the bloodvcsscls and form tiny
clot which gives the germs chance to
feed and grow upon dead blood and
in this way develop II boil. Germs of
consumption are similarly taken to the
lungs sometimes. Enlarged Emphatic
glands about the neck or elsewhere
should receive attention because they
may lead to something else. They
often take on tuberculosis degeneration
and after awhile reach the lungs. 1t
is best to have the glands removed by
surgery while the enlargement is still
slight. Otherwise gland below gland
may be found affected and the opera
ton come to be quite serious one. 1t
is very rare that they can be cured by
any remedy. A simple enlargement of
the glands can sometimes be driven
away by arsenic, but the arsenic may
develop disorder worse than the en-
largcd glands.-Dr j. II. Kellogg.

An Improved Ink.

This is for an ink which is permanent
and unaffected by the application of
acids, alialies, etc, and which renders
forgcries and crasurcs, additions or al
tcrations easy OF detection and difficult
to accomplish. TO carbon black (pref-
crably prepared by the action of con-
centrated sulphuric or other acid on
sugar) are added solution of gum
arabic or other mucilagc, caustic, soda,
oXalic acid and Indian ink. Vanadium
in any form, Alcppo gals, nut gals
and a small quantity of an anilinc dye
are then added along with sufficient
water to make the ink flow readily
The following proportions yield good
results: Nut gals, 90 per cent; Aleppo
gals, 3 per cent; carbon black, 10 per
cent: ''vanadium, per cent" Indian
ink, 10 per cent; oxalic acid, per
cent; anilinc dye. 1 per cent; rain
water, 80 per cent. "Thc whole is
