Gen. Brooke reports that since the first
of January, when Cuba was transferred
to the United States, there have been but
four cases of yellow fever in the whole

beginning to understand that the health
full condition Is largely due to the sanitary
precautions of the Americans According
20 General Brooke, the failure of the
Uubans TO cooperate heartily with the
American administration OF the island
has been due to their slowness to accept
new ideas and changes, and not to any
spirit of opposition. He says that in such
matters the natives are naturally slow,
having been accustomed to the slo W
methods Of the several hundred years Of
Spanish rule. He expresses the opinion
that time will cure this cause of embar-
rassment, for while the people are tardy
in supporting or arquiescing in new de-
partures, such as those introduced by the
American authorities, they are not stub

DIR. 1sidore Dyar of New Orleans claims
to have cured two cases of leprosy by
means of serum compounded py DIR.
Calmette, French chemist. The serum
was made by the Frenchman from the
venom of serpents and was designed
solely as cure for snake poison, which 1t
did accomplish The serum is in wide
use in India. DIR. Dyar visited DIR. Cal
mette's laboratory in Paris and brought
away some of the serum, having even
then a vague clew to his recent discovery.
1t appears that among the traditions of
the leper colony in Louisiana was one
that several lepers who had been bitten
by venomous snakes we've cured. Dr..
Dyar applied the serum to five cases of
leprosy in New Orleans, ana in two of the
cases absolute cures were effected. In two
other cases there was marked improve
ment. and the cases were lost sight of, so
that the final result was not known. In
the fifth case the mans system proved
repeilent to the Ioison, and the change
was for the worse rather than the better.
DIR: Dyar has been consulted, 1t is
reported. by the United States Govern
ment, as to the establishment on one of
thu Sandwich Islands of national Ieper
hospital, to which oil the lepers of Louis
lana and other States will be sent. Per-
haps DR.. Dyar's cure may turn out a
success, but there have been so many an
tidotes discovered within few years
past which turned out to be no cures at
al, that the public is!likely to be skeptieal.

Catarrhal Troubles of Americans

Catarrhal Troubles of Americans
Lnrgc'y Due to Its Abandonm .nt.
IF the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed
there would not be near so many cases
of catarrhal trouble as there are now"
said Chicago physician. He contin-
ued: ut is well known that as nation
the percentage of catarrhal complaints
is greater among us than in any other
nation in the world. and that there are
more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropor-
ton is the absence of nightcaps and
the habit of smoking In the open air.
Women, If they smoke at all. do not do
SO in the open air, and if they do not
wear nghtcaps they are in Il measure
protected by their heavier heads of
hair. Men, on the contrary, habitually
wear their hair close cut, are careless
about the temperature of the rooms in
which they sleep, and while all the rest
of the body is carefully protected the
head may be exposed all night to Il
zero temperature, and that at the very
time when nature is at its lowest ebb
and can do the least to protect itself.
If we would begin by nightcapping all
our children and induce them to keep
up the habit in later years. within II
generation or two catarrh would be Il
| comparatively rare disease in the
United States
'Englshmen and the people of the
continent know an American 10y two
things lberality with money and
his habit of hawking and splitting.
They cannot understand the latter. AZ
catarrh Is an unusual complaint
abroad. But nightcaps are not. They
are IA recognized part of the night toilet
throughout Europe. and to this is due
the freedom of the people there from n
distressing complaint.
''Whocver sees Il nghtcap in this
country? But in England it is so much
a matter of couise that its great
writer. Dickens, frequently mentioned
it in order to give the proper touch Of
realism to his creations. "-Chicago In
