KISSING AS MEDICINE.
An Eminent scientist prescribes Oscula-
tion For Dyspepsia.

An Eminent Scientist Prescribes OscuIa-
tion For Dyspepsia.
Ehen certain English psychologists
announced that kissing was a dangerous
pastime by which tho bacteria of certain
diseases might be communicated, the en-
inent Professor Bridger of London pointed
out that health microbes as well as other
bacilli may Turk in the osculatory ap-
paratus, and it is believed that a failure
to absorb a sufficient quantity Of these
hygiolog;c germs into the system is the
cause OF old maids looking jaundiced and
bachelors dying sooner than benedicts.
"kisses, when selected with due care
and taken on the installment plan, says
an eminent authority, twill not only re-
store a misplaced appetite, but theESanisn
that tired feeling, tone up the liver and
inyigorate the heart.
81 found by patient experiment that the
health microbe becomes active at Is,
reaches maturity at 90, begins to lose Wig
or at 40 and afterward becomes practically
useless as a tonic.
Thin blush lips produce very few
health germs, and those scarce worth the
harvesting, but a full red mouth with
Cupid's curves at the corners will yield
enormously If the crop is carefully culti-
waited.
81 have not yet discovered whether the
blond or brunette variety is entitled to
preference in medical science, but ! in
Giro to the opinion that a judicious and
admixture is most advisable from a thera-
peuticai standpoint. Great care should be
takcn when collecting the germs not to
crush them by violent collision or blow
them away with q loud explosion which
sounds like a COW pulling her hind foot
out of a mudhole and jars the putty off
the window panos.
"Tho best results can be obtained about
the midnight hour, when the dew is on
the garden rose and the mocking bird is
trilling a last good night to his drowsy
mate.
"Be patient. When she wants you to
kiss her, she will find means to make it
manifest, and a maid worth kissing de-
spises a forward man. She looks very
beautiful with her face upturned, and as
she withdraws her eyes from the stars,
slowly turning them dreamily upon yours,
you notice that they are filled with astral
fire. They roam idly over the horizon,
then close as beneath a weight of weari-
ness.
There is not a human i'll, unless it be
hypocrisy, for which nature does not pro-
vide a remedy, and / recommend the health
germ which builds its nest on lovely wom-
ans lips as worth more than the whole
materia medical"

LIFE and DEATH IN LONDON.
During the Year Nearly $4,000 Lon

dOnerS D1ed-Ctty'a Ds1tn hAte
The annual report of the Medical Officer
of Health of the Administrative County
of London has been issued to the pubic.
In the statistics, which are dealt with
first, the population of London is esti-
mated at 4,440, 81 to the middle of 1886, the
sanitary districts having the largest pop
ulation being Islington, with S337 ,6Ss; Lam
beth, with 296, OS6; Camberwell, with 253,-
975, and st. Pancras, with 241,066. The
population of the city is put down at 3D.
400. while the smallest district is st.
Olaves, Southwark, with a population of
II, 67S.
Marriages in the Registration County of
London in the ffty-three weeks of 1895
numbered 80, 1863, giving an annual rate OF
persons married of 1870 per 1000 living. In
1895 the rate was 17.2, while in 1872 it was
1873: the lowest rate since 1871 was 1863,
in 1887 and 1858. In 1886 4.S9 per cent. of
males married when they were under Il,
and 1877 of the females. The total number
of minor marriages in London was l,95l
males and 6,406 females.
The number of births in London was
1876. 223, this giving an annual birth rate OF
30.2 per LOCO. This shows a decided fall,
which began in 1887, with 1928, and con-
tinued downward to 1855. The cores
SHOW a very similar d~iminution. The
eastern group of London districts had
the highest birth rate (35.0), and the west
ern had the lowest GAS. Deaths during
the year numbered 81 1858. an annual death
rate of 1871 per 1000. This is also cores
pondingly low. The diminution became
first apparent in 1871. and it fell much
| lower during the next year, dropping to
1874 in 1883. In 1896 London had a lower
average death rate than Manchester,
Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Shefiield,
HrII and Stafford. TIL rate for Paris in
! the same year is scheduled at 1910; Brus-
| sells, 1872; St. Petersburg, 800; Berlin. 17.9;

Japane.s OpIum Snaoker.s

One would think that when China and
Japan are so near to each other. the
virtues and the vices of the one nation
would to a great extent to be reflected in
the other nation. but this is not the case
between the Chinese an dthe Japanese in
regard to opium smoking, at least. While
with the Chinese opium smoking is a pas
sion, the Japanese, as a rule, heartily de-
test it. Nevertheless, there are also a
few in Japan here and there who are adj
dicted to this vice. although every opium
moker, when caught, Is imprisoned and
subject to heavy penalties. The persons
furnishing the opium are treated sim
iiariy, and the opium ard pipes found are
confscated. Only in the foreign coll
onies, where japanese authority is some
what restricted, the law is more often
transgressed. But In more recent times
this is less the case. inasmuch a the
opium can be obtained only from physic-
lans and pharmacists. who are required to
have special licenses, which can be OBJ
tanned only on the payment of exorbftant
fees. Opium for medicinal purposes is
rot. or course, subject to such restrictions
any more than It IS in other countries.
