Cider az . Medicine.
ITO BE coNrINusD.p

With the autumn apple season In
view, 1t may be worth while to note DR..
Mortimer Granyille's communication
tosthe London Times. In which he rec-
ommends cider as useful beverage
for invalids generally and especially
for the equity. Says he:
No inconsiderable part OF the serv-
ice performed by good cider in the cure
of disease and the preservation of
health Is due to the same elements
which combine to form the phiorid-
Yin obtainable from the bark Of the
stem and root Of the apple, the pear,
and certain other trees. This phlorid-
zin--a glucoside-was some fifty years
ago submitted to criticism as a proba-
Bile substitute for quinine. 1t was not
found to answer the purpose assigned
to 1t, but experiment then and subse-
quently proved that 1t possessed two
remarkable propertiesthe one so
acting on the digestive functions that,
after two or three weeks use OF this
phloridzin, persons who could not APP
propriate certain elements Of food nee
essary for their nutrition were able to
do SO; the other in acting in such a
fashion on the glycogen accumulated in
muscular tissue for work, but which,
when over-accumulated, causes at least
one form of the trouble called 'rheuma-
tism,' as to convert it into sugar and
thus get rid of it,
The ordinary cider does not, how
ever, possess the medicinal properties
claimed by DR.. Granville. TO quote
his own words: TT is fundamental
condition Of success in the manufacture
of cider for medical purposes that
only apples OF a single sort should be
used in the production of the must, and
that the fermentation should not be ar
rested, but allowed to proceed until the
whole Of the ferment is exhausted and
the fermentable material broken into
its elements"

How Snakes Move.

The vertebrae Of snake are fitted
together by a kind of ball and socket
articulation, which, however, is capable
of only lateral or side-to-side motions
A snake moves by propelling himself
on the points of his scales, which. to
him, answers the purposes Of ribs. A
snake does not climb a tree or bush
by coiling around it, as most people
who have not investigated the matter
believe, but by balancing himself very
evenly and holding on with the points
and edges of his scales. A snake on a
pane of glass or other polished surface
where the scales cannot take hold is
almost perfectly helpless. s
