IMMUNITY FROM DISEASE.
individuals often become Accus-
toned to Poisons and Are Proof
Against Them

That there exists both natural and
an acquired immunity to disease is
we'll known. What constitutes this inn
munity, and how it is brought about,
are still unsettled questions, says the
International Monthly. That indiyid-
uals become accustomed to poisons is
matter OF everyday experience, and
Mithradatism has been known for CEN
turtles.
Immunity here implies resistance
against both bacteria and the products
Of their activity. This immunity may
be acquired: By recovery from all in
fictitious disease which for longer or
shorter period removes the natural
procliyity to this disease; by inocula-
ton with the attenuated virus, as prac-
ticed in ordinary vaccination; by intro
duction of small doses of living and
fully yirulent organisms-a measure
whose danger cannot always be pre-
viously estimated by chemical VAGINA
ton with metabolic products of living
bacteria.

tween an active immunization Great
ment with toxin) and passive i'm
munization (treatment with antitoxin),
although both may be carried ont to
insure immunity. With regard to the
latter method considerable work has
been done. Morrill, determines the
duration of immunity to diphtheria
conferred by single injection of anti
toxin, as follows: Immunity to diph-
liberia in any given instance of no mat
ter how thorough exposure to dipth-
liberia may be conferred for at least
ten days, by the injection of a small
dose of serum provided it is given "a
hours previous to actual infection. A
larger dose will confer safety for 20
days under similar conditions. No harm
will result from the treatment in the
majority of sick children, and probably
in no case of a healthy child, provided
the serum is pure.

Laura j. Smith, of 1917 West $50
Street, this city. The American Anti
Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
az National Organizer. The reason Is
not far to seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life to a battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her in
has been very far reaching.
About two years ago however, II
seemed az II this noble woman would
have to give up her ph~ilanthropic
work. Severe pains In her back and
under her shoulder blades, made life

months treatment however, failed to
give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus-
band was much exercised, and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife to health and
strength. He heard OF the cures eff

vised her to try them, which she did.
She is now a well woman and says:

Chronic Coughs and
Colds Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Sc0urge
of .Christendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city. and nestles treacherously in
every hamlet. 1t flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts a black shadow OF despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
its lingering stay makes 1t a dread to
the physician and a pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh Of child
hood to the wheezy breathing OF
croup, and the song Of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough Of ON
sumption. In its whitening grasp the
rounded form Of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush Of manhood
turns to the sailow, haggard visage Of
the invalid.
Cough takes the place Of conversa-
ton, speech gives way to splitting. the
repalsive odors of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss Of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight. impair hearing and destroy
taste.

London. Dec. 1.-THE Spectator in a

brought to the test of force" 1t says,

mainly due to the attitude of Russia
