Sugar in the Human System.

from the Catholic World-1
Sugar is a substance that dtssolves
easily and in considerable quantity IN
water When in solution it easily pass
IS through an animal membrance by Os-
rrosfs and so the question OF its absorb
ton seemed simple enough The disease
diabetes showed. however. that sugar
might exist very plentifully In the
blood and yet the nutrition Of an tndi-
vidual suffer very much for the lack OF
it Something else beside its mere pres
ence in the system was necessary TO Sc
cure its consumption by the tissues Ber-
hard thought that the liver was active
in the consumption of sugar, and that
disease Of this organ caused diabetes
He therefore secured some of the blood
going to the liver of a living animal and
some of the blood that was just leaving
it, To his surprise, the blood leaving
the liver contained more sugar than
that entering IT. After assuring himself
that his observations were correct, he
tried his experiments in different ways.
He found that even in the blood leaving
the liver OF an animal that had been
fed only on substances containing no
sugar, sugar could be demonstrated
Even in a fasting animal the liver Itself
and the blood leaving IL showed the
presence of a form of sugar. The only
possible conclusion from this was that
the liver was capable Of manufacturing
this form of sugar out Of non-sugar-
containing material. or even from the
blood of a fasting animal
This was the first time in physiology

was advanced Glands within the body

THE SKIPPING ROPE CURE.

from the New York Times.1
Skippfng-rope exercise for middle
aged gentlemen affected with liver or
indigestion is the latest alleged medical
fad, to which the humorists of the press
have directed their attention. The Lon
don correspondent of the Birmingham
Gazette asserts that this novel form of
adult exercise is being used on rainy
mornings as a substitute for the mile
and a half run before breakfast, which
has been prescribed by a West End
physician as a remedy for that condi-
ton of liver which in London is due to
want of outdoor exercise and late hours,
hard work and bad air. There are pro-
fessional men and others who take their
run in the park before breakfast every
fine morning, and who bless the physi-
clan who discovered this simple way of
restoring health. Its effects in some
cases have been marvellous. By run"
is not meant a sharp walk, but actual
