WHAT EMPEROR WAS THIS {?

ever ruled in Europe. He was always at

supped twice; first early in the evening and
again about one o'clock-the latter the most
solid meal of the four. After meat he ate a
great quantity of pastry and sweets, wash

hosts of US travel the same road. We are
not usually gluttons as this royal gentls-
man was, but people who eat sparinglY often
have the same malady. Commonly they
inherit a tendency to it. On the level of
this dreadful disease the rich and the poor,
the great and the small, meet together.
Speaking of an experience of her own, a
woman says: "My hands became stiff and
numb. There seemed to be no feeling in
them. 1 was SO crippled that could not
even cut round of bread. A little later it
attacked my legs and feet, the soles of the
