Laughter as a Cure.

At banquet of the National
Wholesale Druggists Association
in Chicago the Rev. Frank Crane
compared the respective remedial
qualities of laughter. Some of his
epigramS were these:
Man is the only animal that
was made to laugh. and as science
teaches that laughter is II sure boon
to health it Is II sin for us to sub
Stitutc excessive drug taking for
laughter.
"Laughtcr increases the blood
circulation
TT cnlargcS the heart.
TT expands the lungs
1t iiggcrs the diaphragm.
TT promotes the dioculation of
the spleen.
II once knew man who laugh
ed so much that when he died they
had to cut his liver out and kill it
with Il club.
Beware of thcOlogians who have
no sense of mirth. They are not
altogether human.
Keep NOur chin up.
Don take your troubles to bed
with YOU. Hang them on Il chair
with your trousers or drop them in
glass of water with your teeth"

Some interesting experiments have
been carried on in the University ot
Genoa that bring 10 llght some new
facts about sugar. II was demon
stratcd that sugar administered to an
animal, where the Temperature" had
fallen through fasting. could cuus' i
rapid rise the first ten or hft"en min
utcs. and that In one or two hours the
temperature would reach maximum
that would be sustained for long or
short time according to the amount
of sugar given The effect WAS most
marked after long fast when the
temperature was very low. The expert
menter states that by using sugar In
this way he has succeeded In restoring
the vitality OF dogs which were in
serious state, while the administration
OF albumen to others In ii similar con-
dtion failed to save their uyes.
