Cardiac Diseases from Lauphter.

Laughter in itself cannot very well
kill, but it may do harm. Hysterica,
girls and boys with kindred nervous
affections are often given to immod-
crate laughter, which tends to increase
nervous exhaustion. DR.. Feilchenfeld
relates an instructive case in which a
little girl suffered from very definite
cardiac symptoms after immoderate
laughter. The patient was IL years
old and had previously been free from
any sign of heart disease. After
laughing on and off for nearly an hour
with some companions, she suddenly
felt stabbing pains in the chest and
was seized with fits of coughing. H.
lowed by cardiac dypnoae, very won
marked. Feilchenfeld believes that
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughter.

Il have now seen much OF the country

sbDc; hfty miles north OF Manila. In
every town there is a magnificent stone
church and convent or monastery. The
Insurgents have a great antipathy TO the
priesthood or friars. and they have dis
mantled many OF the churches. The value
Of the church and monastery OF town
seems TO be equal In many cases 10 the
value Of all the other buildings in the

more am convinced that the insurgents
are actuated. ia a measure by spirit OF
Communism, and in their talks, their
most serious objection 10 the church
seems 10 be he fact that ecclesiastical or
ganizations own so much Of the property.
and one OF Ag1iaaldo's most earnest de-
maTGs is that the church property be con-

But there are very many good men among

There is a general impression that

people who have property desire the
Americans TO control, so that they can
have protection and feel that their prop
erty Is secured 10 them. but / find that

De true of many. but ii is not true of those

work are to-day very much like they are
described in the Bible at the time of,
and even before. the Christian era
