-The British Medical Journal thinks a

The British Medical Journal thinks a
certain coroner at Gateshead must have
been mistaken when he said that there
had been quite an epidemic of cases OF
death from excessive smoking. Though
there can be no doubt that excessive Gig
arctic smoking, especially in youths, acts
injuriously on the digestive and nervous
system, and through the cardiac gangila
affects the heart. 1t would be interesting
to learn what were the symptoms which
in the case quoted preceded death, and
how it was Inferred that they were due to
cigarette smoking. While the doctors are
settling this point, observes London ex-
change, we may, we presume, sun go on
enjoying our cigarette.

Incident Tint Is worthy of the Pen

The story of a whole company of sol
diers enlisting to be grated for duty
in bits to save the life of a suffering lit
tie girl is worthy of Kipling. tits, how
ever, a true story from Illinois. a
young girl named Florence Connell in
attempting to fill a gasoline stove was
horribly burned. Usually a person
whose skin is so much burned as hers
dies, but she survived, yet after six
months perfect care and treatment was
still unhealed. The physician in charge
proposed skin-grafting. Two healthy
brothers of the girl offered first. Take
as much as you want, doctor, to save
Florence" they said. Twenty patches
were taken from one. "A from the other,
and adjusted to the suffering sisters
need. Then third brother, who is cap
tain of militia, company a, submitted
to the surgeons knife and contributed
80 patches for his sisters healing. And
then his whole company volunteered
for the service and offered themselves
when needed.
The doctor accepted, picked out sew
eral members, and warned the others
that he might have to call on some OF
them. To their honor and credit not
one finched, but all reported for duty,
and from among them 125 more CRAFTS
were made. This has about finished the
work. but il more patches are needed
qualified subjects are ready. The girl
is getting well, slowly but surely, and
has gained 20 pounds during the last
month. The doctor thinks she viii be
in condition to leave the hospital and
go to her home before snow flies" and
the soldier boys win give a serenade
when she is well enough 10 the little
sister of the regiment.-Boston Trans
