A resume of the health officers report
is as follows:
During the year ending September z.
1897, there have been epidemics OF
measles and scarlet fever. The num-
Der of cases of measles reported was rs,
but probably twice as many more cases
were not reported owing to the feeling
among the people against quarantine,
and to this fact is probably due, in a
great measure, the spread of the dis
ease.
No sooner had the epidemic of
measles subsidized than scarlet fever
broke out, forty-two cases being re-
ported. Probably the spread of the fe-
yer was due to the existence OF many
mild cases, not reported, as no physi-
clan was employed. The number of
cases of diphtheria was six. Typhoid
fever has beer prevalent all during the
year. Nineteen cases were reported,
although the actual number of cases
was much larger. Fifty complaints Of
nuisances were made during the past
year, and all were ordered ahated.
The sanitary condition of the schools
and other public buildings is excellent.
The water supply is all that can be
desired. The ice supply from Simpsons
pond was condemned for domestic pur-
poses, owing to a contamination by
sewage.

MAZARlN BIBLES COME HIGH.

What They Are and why They Are So
Called-S20,OoO For One Copy.
A:tie sale of the 4Ashburnham library
in London a copy of the Mazarin Bible
brought the good sized sum Of S20,O 900.
The Mazarin Bible is so called because
a copy of it was first discovered by De
Bure in the library Of Cardinal Nazarin,
in Paris, about 1850. Its value for book
collectors lies in the fact that it is the
s.-t heck ef any magnitude printed
fl.Ll Movable {lIes. II was issued by
Gutenberg at Nain2, III 1900, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls it the
Gutenberg Bible. 1t is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 324 and
the second 317 pages, each page consist
ing of two columns. The characters,
which are Gothic. arc large aud hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before the discovery Of this BIZ
be the so called Ba;nbers Bible Of PTS
ter was generally regarded as the first
printed book, but that honor is now
universally accorded to the former work.
According to DR.. Austin Allibone,
there are six known copies Of the Maza-
rim Bible on vellum, enc OF which is the
volume found in the Mazarin library.
The copies on vellum, however, are later
than the copies. on paper, II qf which
are known to be in existence. There is
a yellum copy of the Bible in the Brit
ish museum and a paper copy in the
Lenox library of this city. The present
value of a perfect copy Of the Mazarin
Bible on paper is about $4,000, and
those on vellum are valued at about
100000. Practically, however, their
value is a variable quantity, depending
on what the book collectors are willing
to give for them. 1t has long been a
matter of dispute whether the types EN-
ployed in printing this Bible were me-
tallic or wooden, but the question is
still undecided. As a specimen of early
printing the work is magnificent, con

Different Diseases Produce Characteristic
Movements of the Limbs.

Different Diseases Produce Characteristic
Movements of the Limbs.
A medical paper in a recent tissue has
described the characteristic movements
Of the limbs made by persons suffering
from different diseases. The gestures of
the patient when asked to locate his
pain not only indicate its seat, but de-
scribe its character. Thus, if the pain
be in the chest and distributed over a
large area the sufferer sweeps the palm
Of his hand over his chest with a cir
cular motion, but should the pain be
local he first draws his hand away from
the body and then, with the index fin
ger outstretched and the others curved
cautiously, approaches the spot where
the trouble ie. In appendicitis he holds
the palm of the hand over the diseased
area without touching the skin. When
suffering from violent noninf1ammatory
pains, the patient slaps the abdomen.
A child who complains of continuous
pain in the stomach, when there is no
tenderness on pressure is probably
afflicted with disease of the spine. In
"Ap JOAAo NASS0oO AZ pau W4AA OO AC-
ferred to at a point inside the knee. With
violent diffused noninlammatory pain
in the leg the patient grasps the limb
affected. If 1t be a shooting pain. he
will point at the place with one finger.
The pain Of hepatic neuralgia or
shingles is indicated with the thumb
or foretnger. In joint pains the patient
approaches the seat of trouble cautiously
with the hand fat.
A curious case is quoted Of a patient
complaining of q severe headache. Be-
ing asking in what part Of the head it
was, he answered, 1.-THE top" and
when further questioned as to the exact
spot pressed his finger on the side above
the cheek bone. This he did three times,
though declaring that the seat of the
pain was exactly on the top of the head.
The cause of the trouble was found to
be a bad tooth.
