Human slsnlIs rs Medicine.

Medicinal properties are attributed TO
an infinite variety Of substances, animal
as well as mineral and vegetable. One
of the most curious of the many queer
remedies formerly believed to lie eztraor.
dinarily efficacious was human skull
This remedy was used for great vari.
ETY. of ailments ami could be rubbed,
on" or taken inwardly. As an internal
remedy it was used in the shape of a
powder, either being ground up in lis
raw state or after having been charred
by fire. According to the quaint writ
ings of the learned 90 DR.. Brunori, all
skulls were not considered as being Of
equal value when used in medicinal
preparations Indeed he declares that
the skulls of persons who have died nat
ural deaths are of little or no value
whatever because of the fact that the
disease of which they died consumes or
dissipates the essential spirits of the
bone The skulls of murderers and ban
dits-or, in fact, any person who had led
a life of violence or who had died vio-
lent death-were believed to contain
properties particularly efficacious in GER
tain diseases. On this account, it is said,
there was at one time lively rivalry

Adyersity gives the lie to eve

Adversely gives the lie to every
assertion OF the schools that man
can become just what he is in
clined to. A man only can become
what nature and his surroundings
permit. The nature he cannot
change, but he can modify it. The
circumstances he can modify and
frequently change. He can no
more take a straight course with
these diverging influences blowing
their winds of contrariness upon
his sails than can the ship blown
upon by gales adverse to the course
OF the pilot. The true sailor does
not attempt to sail straight
course under such circumstances,
but he tacks. This Is the only
course left for the man whose bust
ness sails are swelled by adverse
winds. He must tack.
