Doctoring the Human Brain

This is an age Of surprises. The 9TH
er day a man who had been cured of n
broken neck was discharged from n
New York hospital. Frederick Barto,
of Somerville, n. j., has not only lived
for five days with a part OF the front
of his skull torn away. but with frac-
ture at its base. Besides, he has been
conscious and able TO converse intelli-
gently the while. These facts are
strange when Il is known that previous
to receiving his injuries he was par
alytic and inclined TO melancholia. His
condition, SO far as these troubles are
concerned. Is remarkably improved.
That mysterious organ, the brain, is
vet imperfectly understood, with all
the progress that has been made in
medical science. Perhaps the investi-
cations OF the near future Will disclose
facts concerning Its dominating infiu-
ence In many bodily Ills that Will ena-
ble the practitioner TO more successful
~ combat disease.
Doctorlng the brain is nowadays n
delicate and Il frequently fatal process.
There may come time when the Sc
crets of the sensitive seat of mind will
be penetrated and when 1t will be dis
covered that the body has often been
treated where the brain itself should
have been the direct recipient of cura-
tives. A thoroughly unbalanced mind
has sometimes been restored 10 nor
NAL condition by an accidental blow.
In this there Is a crude suggestion for
relief which some studious investlga-
ton may yet develop into n scientific
system. When that day comes nervous
diseases may he made to yield as read
ily TO treatment as the measles, and
there may be no such unfortunates as

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, d. C.-"When our boy
was about l6 months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. In few days he had swell
ing on the left side of his neck and it
was decided to be humps. He was
given medical attendance for about three
weeks when the doctor said it was scrofu-
Ia and ordered a salve. He wanted to
lance the sore, but | would not let him
and continued giving him medicine for
about four months when the bunch broke
in two places and became a running
sore, Three doctors said it was scrofula
and each ordered blood medicine. A
neiphbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. | decided to give
il to my boy and in a short while his
health improved and his neck healed so
nicely that | stopped giving him the
medicine. The sore broke out again,
however, whereupon | again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete cure. "

How savaees Get Fire.

! Various sayages have different meth
DDS of kindling fires. In New Holland
a pointed stick is twlrled between the
palms of the hand until the wood on
which 1t stands begins to smoke, and at
last breaks into fame.
, Other savages obtain spark by
sticking one bit of wood upright in the
earth, cutting slit in 1t lengthwise, in
which they rub another bit of wood
with protruding piece until 1t flames.
The most ingenious method Is, how
ever, that followed by the inhabitants
of Western Madagascar. These use a
string of animal hide, by which they
twirl the upright stick rapidly and has
ten the fire lighting.
To us who have merely to strike n
match under the mantelpiece the value
of fire is little appreciated, but suppose
that we were caught in the wilderness
without a match, how would we go
about lighting the fire to warm our
selves or cook our food?-Boston Sun

The earliest records of Egypt depict

They used leather. and they did better
