In an article printed in the Toledo
Medical Compend physician has this
to say:
Smallpox pitting can be prevented
BY applying to the face antiseptic REM
dies. and / think the most suitable
is one that is made Of ozone and giy-
cerine. The glycerine has the body to
hold the ozone. and also being such a
very heavy liquid enables y to be
worked into the pores Of the skin and
to check Preventative processes that
make up large part OF the ulcera-
ton. If this fermentation, which is q
part OF the ulcerative process. can be
stopped, then pitting can be prevented.
The less the liberation, the less the
pitting. If the liberation can be en-
tirely prevented there viii be only an
exterior scab, which leaves no pit.
..The troubles with grease or oint-
ments, which are sometimes applied
to the face. is that they are not true
antlseptics. and have no chemical in
fiuence to stop the liberation. While
they lessen the friction and, therefore,
are soothing. they do not check the
fermentation process of the ulcer.
what IS wanted is a true antiseptie
that win control and stop the chemi-
cal ferment.
"The treatment have indicated
should be repeated daily. II that Is
done there viii be no pitting. This
hitting is the worst feature Of small
pox. The deaths from the disease
have never been so numerous as Is
popularly supposed, but the evil or
pitting can hardly be overestimated-
II is not only an embarrassment it is a
great injury"

Indian Engineering complains BIT

ideas are prevailing IN Calcutta in

cause Of disapprobation is the intro

known as Fort Huge, and the area

ugly. In quite the same category is
placed the skyscraper at the Apolla

caravanserai. which is designed to be
the finest equipped hotel ID Asia. and

The modern society ball in America

but in a Russian ballroom the guests
actually dance: they do not merely
shamble to and fro in a crowd. crump-

They have ample space for the swesp-
ing movements and complicated hg-
ures of al the orth0do- bah dances.
and are generally gifted with sufficient
grace to carry them out ia style.
They carefully cultivate dances calling
for a kind Of grace which Is almost
