CONSUMPTION AND NERVES

A New Theory Demonstrating the Close
Connection Between the Two.
Philadelphia Press: Consumption
plays so large n share in the civilized
death rate, and it's restriction would
do so much to prolong human life that
every step in its study is of deep public
interest.
DIR. Thomas j. Mays Of this city has
just published a paper in which no
rencws his past arguments that con
sumption Of the lungs is closely con.
nected, probably as n result. with any
serious weakening Of the nervous sys-
TEN. This is indicat'd by the greater
relative frequency OF consumption
among the insane and fecble-minded,
10y the appearance of insanity and con-
sumption. with the greatest frequency
ut the same age. aid ~ The ciTcam-
stance that consumption comes in the
lower animals, on which experiments
have been made, whenever the nerves
reaching the lungs, tho pncumogastric
nerve III tparticular. are injured. or
when in IA injury 20 those nerves is
produced by disease.
This may indeed be due to the fact
that these nervous injuries and this
nervous weakness are all part OF u
general weakened state which ends In
consumption. lsut the large number
OF facts grouped 10y DIR. Mays 60 far TO
indicate that the reason why consuinp-
ton appears at the opening
OF active life il because this
n period of nervous over-straiu.
This strain affects the great nerve
which reaches thc lungs, the heart and
the stomach. They all weaken; and
the lungs. which receive the largest
and endure the largest and most con
slant contact with the world of outer
decay about ", brealt down and pass
into consumption Under this theory
tho bacillus Of consnmp tion i looked
upon as tho effect aud consequence Of
a weakened condition due originally
to diminished nerve power. which
makes the organ open To attack and
decay. A large number OF facts, like
the ravagcs OF consumption among
savage tribes when first exposed TO
civilization, it's frequency among the
insonc and fccbie-minded. and rs
attack on promising young men
and women who begin life with
unusual ardor and 9ldustry.
are all applicable by this theory. 1t is,
by the way. closely similar TO tho ono
now held by an increasing number of
physicians with reference 20 Iiright's
disease, whose primary cause is n
nervous oyerstrain, which wcakens an
organ whose demands and duties in
crease with age.
For the laynan the moral of all this
Is that the way 10 meet the special
tendencies toward disease Is to pre-
serve the nervous system from over
stress; and this in it's turn can only be
done by the closest attention TO the
general health. No medicine is worth
n rap in dealing with tho nerves con-
pared with the mental and physical
hygiene and care II man eau apply
himself under skilled medical direc-
ton.

Cheese, which has been the fortune
Of R%oguefort, has destroyed its pict-
~uresqncness. 1t has brought specu-
lators there who have raised great,
ugly, square buildings of dazzling
whiteness in harsh contrast with the
character and sombre tone of the old
houses. Although the place is SO
small that it consists of only one street
and q few alleys. the more ancient
dwellings arc remarkable for their
height. 1t Is surprising to see in n viii
lage lost among the sterile hills houses
three stories high. The fact that there
Is only a ledge on which TO build must
be the explanation.
What j. most curious in the place is
the cellars. Before the cheese became
an important article of commerce these
were natural caverns. such as are
everywhere to he found in this calcar-
eous formation; but now they are
really cellars that have been ~excavated
to such Il depth in the rock that they
are to be seen in as many as five
stages, where long rows of cheeses arc
stacked one over the other. The vir-
tue OF these cellars from the cheese
making point Of view is their dryness
and their scarcely varying tcmpera-
ture OF about 8 deg. centigrade sum-
mer and winter.
BGtthe demand for Ro1uefOrt cheese
has become so great that trickery now
plays a part in the %ripcning p 'ess.
The peasants have learned that zine
is money and they have found that
bread crumbs mixed with the curd
cause those green streaks Of mouldi-
ness, which denote that the cheese is
fit for the market, to appear much
more readily than was formerly the
case. when it was left to do the best it
could for itself with the aid Of a sub
.~cr-:cean atmosphere.
This is not exactly cheating; il il
commercial enterprise, the result OF
competition and other circumstances
too strong for poor human nature. In
cheese-making. bread crumbs are found
to be a cheap substitute for time; and
il j. said that those who have taken to
beer brewing in this region have found
that box, which here is the commonest
Of shrubs, is a cheap substitute for
hops. The notion that brass pins are
stuck into ROqucfort cheese to make it
turn green is founded on fiction

The FEMALE "stAMese TWINS.
A Pair OF Pretty Girls wonderfully snd
Fearfuliy Joined.

In the N. Y. Sun a few days agp ref
srence was made to n pair Of Indian
"Siamese twins" who are about TO he
exhibited all over the world, and par
ticularly at the Chicago fair. These
twins are pretty girls, who have been
taught to play several musical jnstru-
mcnts, to sing and even to dance.
They are joined together as were the
Siamese twins. but the junction il Of
bone and not of skin and flesh merely,
as was the case with the Siamese
twins. This junction, too. is four
inches wide, resembling somewhat the
form of n hump, and this keeps their
chests and little stomachs apart. With
this difference they are as well formed
as any other child, even down To their
nails. OF course, they are forced to
stand facing n another, and their
four little hands either rest on the
point Of Junction, or are placed on
each others shoulders. They stand
as il leaning IN one another, and walk
in a peculiar manner the one advanc-
ing pushing the other backward, or
both moving sideways, and, as n mat
ter OF course. locomotion is very slow.
When they sit down their legs are
doubled under them in n way sug-
gestive of pain and discomfort. They
eat separately, but both feel hungry
at the same time, and when they lilo
down both fall asleep together. They
are also apparently moved by the same
ideas, the one concluding q sentolce
the other has begun. Radhika and
Dhudhika, for so they are called, are
so much alike in features that it is
hardly possible to distinguish them.
They were borne in a village called
Noapara in the Angul district, in
Orissa. and their parents had four
children before the twins were born,
and one since. None Of these, how.
ever, is in any way defective.
When it became know in the village
that these children were born so Join
ed together, the villagers declared
that they were an incarnation of the
devil, and no one would 90 heal them
through fear; they refused to sell the
parents. who were very poor, anything,
nor would anyone give any sort Of
help. The Tahsildar. however. in
spite OF what the Brahmins said to
deter him, went to their house and
helped them in time to save their lives,
and suggested TO them that they
might make money by exhibiting the
children. This they did, and at the
time their present manager got hold
Of them they were exhibiting the
phenomena in the far interior.
