There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

AN AFRICAN POISON STORY.

Strange Phenomenon Witnessed In the
 Northeast of the Dark Continent.
 Charles M Stern of Chicago, who re- turned to this city after Q journey through northeast Africa, told of curi- 6us meteorological phenomenon which he observed in 6 district called Gwallah. The vegetation in that region is very luxuriant," said he, "and the plant life must give off an unusually large quan- tity of earbonic acid gas At least that was the conclusion I reached after see- ing three natives die and four or five dogs.
 The moment the a.sisaals put their noses close to the ground tLey would fall over and gasp and die in about five minutes. The natives who died slept on the ground instead of in hammocks, as others did I saw hundreds of dead birds. My theory is that stratum of the deadly gas covered the ground for a depth of three or four inches, and any living thing breathing in that area would be asphyxiated.
 T could not understand, however, how the gas was not distributed in 8 thinner layer and what kept it in one place for whole day Nothing like it had ever been known there before. The deaths of the men and tho dogs all oc- cured within 24 hours Then the gas, If it was really gas, seemed to dissipate. It was a very strange occurrence, and I might have been induced to mako 8 more exhaustive investigation if my presence had not excited distrust Igot away as quickly as possible rather than be accused of being the cause of the sudden deaths The natives are super stitious and attribute most of their mis- fortunes to witchoraft, SC I thought it the part of wisdom to get away.

CRYING AS A SAFETY VALVE.
Scientific Declaration That as Good Cry''
 Is Renafscial.


 scientifc Declaration That as Good Cryn
 Is Beneficial.
 The Hospital declares that the popu- lar helief shat a good cry gives at times a salutary relief has a good scien- tiflo foundation. writer on that suD- ject says:
 Crying is so commonly associated with distress that mans natural in- stinct is to put stop to 1t as soon as possible We should not forget, how ever, that it has its uses Dr. Harry Campbell has recently shown how com pleX are the phenomena involved in n good cry. This does not consist merely in the shedding of tears, but includes so general and widespread an action of the muscles that the whole body may be con- vulsed In children also great change takes place during crying in the manner ill which the respiration is carried on. Aspirations are prolonged sometimes for as much as half minute and are in- terrupted by short inspirations. During expiration the glottis is contracted so that the intrapulmonary pressure rises considerably, and there can be but little | doubt that it is the equal distribution of l this increased air pressure throughout the whole of the chest, leading to the dilatation of portions of the lungs that have become more or less collapsed, that is tho explanation of the great benefit which often results from crying i'll cases of infantile bronchitis and of the large ri often follows. Children may become very blue during the paroxysm, but the deep respirations which succeed quickly restore the circulation to better con- dition than before in eonsequenoe.of the larger lung space rendered available. In women the beneficial effect of a good cry is proverbial In them also thls is partly due 10 the increased depth of respiration and the improvement in the often languid circulation thereby in- dueed, but to q large ex4qnt it is the re- suit of the muscular exercise involved, by which the general vascular tension, and especially tho blood pressure in the | brain, are much reduced. The profuse flow of tears no doubt also acts strongly on the cerebral circulation in still fur ther reducing tension. Tine sobbing movements, again, have 8 good influence upon the venous circulation in the ab- dominal and pelvic viscera, while the exhaustion produced tends to produce sleep and thus to give the nervous sys- tenn its best chance of recuperation. We should not, then, too hastily intervene to stop Q woman from having out her cry. If we can remove her trouble, by all means let us do so. but if the trouble is to remain, lot her cry herself to sleep. This is far better than soothing drafts
