How TO suppress Fits.

say that by 4 mere accident he discovered
a method of suppressing an attack when
he felt it coming on, and he thinks that his
discovery and experience will be of service
to his fcllow-nen. Whenever the prcnioni-
tory symptoms of an attack are manifested
Mr. Jackson throws his head backward,
and accompanies the act by tapping his
chest with his fist. He says that there has
never been failure in the experiment since
he discovered its efficacy. Physicians who
have examined him and witnessed the effect
OF the experiment account for the result on
the rational theory that the rush of blood
to the head is arrested by the position into
which the patient places himself.

Peculiar IpSura nee

A curious form Of life insurance Is spring
ing up in French manufacturing towns
founded on the idea that the longer a man
lives the less he needs. 1t bears the peculiar
name of Ia Fourmi, the ant, and provides
for the payment of 81 900 to the heirs of a
man dying before the age OF thirty-eight,
the payment diminishing to S510 at fifty
one. 4 sum OF ST a month insures the
payment. The idea seems to be, and 1t is
not bad one, that If a man dies young his
children are likely to be in want, but that
when he is fifty they will be able TO earn
a living for themselves.
