Curing Warts BY Suggestion.

Among the curiosities of disease
which Psychologists must somehow
explain and put in line with their
dogmatize is as to the permanence of
warts, often apparently under nervous
influences of the character of sugges-
ton. AS is we'll known. the stories
about warts and their cure by strange
devices are infinite, and in many cases
are so strange that it is only on the
hypothesis of suggestion that they
can be explained or even believed.
Needless to say, however. the theory
that such solid and obvious over
growths as warty masses can be made
to shrivel and die off under the in
fiuence of such a mental process as
suggestion has bearings which reach
far and can hardly be limited to warts
alone. A case is related by Dr. Dlbble
Staple of girl Is years old who had
a large number of warts on both her
hands. She had counted as many as
"a on the right hand. Having read
in one of the medical journals that a
number of warts had been cured by
vaccination, the doctor determined,
with the consent of her relatives. to
give the plan trial. He therefore
revaccinated the patient on June /.
The vaccination was successful, but
no effect was produced on the warts
until seven weeks after, when they
gradually disappeared. leaving tenn
porary white spots, and when she was
seen on August 80 she had no trace
of them.-The Hospital.

A Great Collection Of Mosquitoes.

Sir Joseph Chamberlain sent out a
request to the Governors of British
colonies a few months ago that steps
be taken to secure specimens of
mosquitoes in their respective juris-
dictions and that the same be for
warded to the Natural History
Meseum in London for scrutiny and
classification. The Secretary for
Colonies had already co-operated with
the Royal Society for rigid investiga-
ton into the suspected relations be-
tween mosquitoes and malaria mas
much as malaria fevers are said to be
the cause of more deaths than any
other malady in the tropical posses
sions of the Crown. Thus far over
5000 specimens have been received
and additions are being made to this
total almost every week. The genus
anopholes, which is held responsible
for the dissemination of malaria. is
represented by % species, at least 10
of which were until recently unknown
to science. Great variations both in
size and the markings of the anop-
heles have been detected. and AL
though the genus is practically world
wild liz its distribution, no single
species belonging to it appears to
have very extensive habitat. This
latter popularity is not equally
characteristic of the innocent culex
one species of which has been found
in North and South America, the West
indies, Gibraltar. South and West
Africa, India. the Malay Peninsula.

Senator Money (dem., Miss.) made
a brief speech in general opposition
to the treaty. He thought the United
States would best promote its own in
terests by constructing the canal with
out asking aid of or consent of any

Under the bill finally reported by
the ways and means committee to the
house there is a reduction of $40 ,000,-
09C in round numbers, from the taxa
tion imposed by the war revenue act
of 1898. This is $10,000,000 more than
the president recommended and that
sum is more than made up by the re-
auctions made in beer and cigars.
The result of the measure can be sum-
married. by saying that it repeats all
of the stamp taxes except those upon
transactions in stock exchanges and
boards of trade upon freight bills of
lading, and upon custom-house with
drawals and entries. The special
taxes on commercial brokers, custom
house brokers, theaters, circuses, and
| other public exhibitions are also re-
pealed. The tax on beer is reduced so
as to make it approximately SLIGO per
barrel instead of $1.85, as at present.
The tax on cigars is reduced from
$3.50 to $500 per thousand. All taxes
upon medicines and similar proprie-
tary articles, including perfumery
and chewing gum, are repealed. The
bill is to go into effect 80 days after
| it's passage.

Lodge replied in the negative, saying
it was well known that the Hay Paunce-

plies to the United States, still leaves

The British government appears to
be responsible for the famine in India,
or at least to have made the famine
possible, through the very beneficence
of it's rule. Before the British occu-
patton, incessant wars and terrible cpl
denies kept the country thinly popu-
lated, so that the natural products of
the soil were usually sufficient to feed
the inhabitants. But British rule has
established peace and diminished the
ravages of plague. The consequence
has been such an increase of popula-
ton that India is one of the most
crowded countries in the world. The
productivity Of the soil has nearly
reached it's limit. Nevertheless. the
British government is not to be
blamed, unless we adopt the mons
trous doctrine that wholesale massacre
Is a blessing.
