was an amazingly clever lightning carl

Therapeutic effects of different kinds
have been attributed to laughter by tho
grayest medical writer's from Hppocra-
ties downward. The father of medicine
laid special stress on the Importance of
merriment at meals. The old physicians
recommended laughter as a powerful
means Of "desopilating" the spleen.
Fonssagriyes said that mirth is the most
powerful lever Of health. Tissot pro-
fesses to have cured scrofulous children
by tickling and making them laugh. Du-
