THE SALT CURE.

There are premonitory symptoms OF the
beginning OF a new fad which may become
known as the salt cure. Mankind seems TO
be ever on the search and lookout for some
elixir Of life or some agent of wonderful
power hat will cure disease, alleviate pain
or prolong life. The history of medicine
and of alchemy Is full OF counts of such
discoveries or supposed discoveries, and
they have figured in history and fiction,
in prose and verge. Ponce de Leon is not
the only voyager who expected to discover
the fountain of youth. Every century has
its list of health fads and panaceas. In
recent years, not to speak of numberless
waters, salts and cure-all medicines. we
have had the sun-bath cure, the blue-glass
cure, the Swedish movement cure. the
massage cure, the Father Kneipp cure and
ably run it's course, die out and be forgot
ten except for a saving memory of partial
benefit in some cases. When such a man
as ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, of New
York. now in his seventy-ninth year, says
he has been materially benefited by the
VI a SAT- VI oOdA0ius ald llC lis
physician corroborates the statement the
average man who is hunting after a
panacea need not be blamed for trying the
salt cure. A more remarkable case than
Mr.. Hewitt's is that of a man in Philadel-
phia who when at the point Of death was
restored to health and vigor by the injec-
ton into his veins of four quarts of salt
water. The man had been shot in an af-
fray. When interviewed a few days ago he
said: 81 would have died If the salt hadn't
been used. My heart was just stopping
when the doctors began pumping. Now my
pulse is as steady as any other mans. The
salt water must nave changed into blood,
for 1 feel so good that the doctors are go
ing to remove the bullet in my lungs next
week"
All this is interesting but not very sur
prising. Everybody knows, laymen as we'll
as scientists, that salt possesses peculiar
preservative and sanitary virtues, and 1t
is not surprising to learn that a solution
of it has a specific effect on the blood and
heart action, though. like many other good
things, too much of it may be hurtful.
Some Of the waters largely ~impregnated
with salt, as settlers water, commonly but
incorrectly written seltzer water. are popu-
lar the world over and are considered very
healthfui. But salt, like all other medici-
nal agents, is only useful in the hands of
trained physicians. People who prescribe
for themselves and take medicines indis-
~criminately are apt to suffer thereby.
Chloride of sodium, or common salt, is so
cheap and accessible that if the salt cure
cnce gets started more people will be hurt
than helped by it. No doubt the safe rule
for the average man would be to use salt
only as a condiment and leave its use as an
elixir of life to the doctors.

The circulation and success of a book
depends now very largely upon the way It
is advertised. literature having become as
much an article of as dry goods,
and the methods of the publishers in bring
ing 1t to the notice of the people as In
genious as those of dealers in any other
line of merchandise. The latest and most
novel undertaking of this sort is that de-
vised by the publishers of a book called
IAN English Woman's Love Letters" for
attracting attention to the volume. This is
to arouse a discussion as to whether or not
the letters are genuine-that is, were really
originally addressed by a woman to her
lover with the expectation that they would
be seen by no other person. The claim is
made in the preface that they were really
so written by a woman now dead. This
acceptance as genuine gives greater interest
to the series of ~epistles, of course, but the
reader is not compelled to accept them on
this basis and has a right TO draw his own
conclusions. 1t Is at this point that a GER
tain psychological interest comes in, and
on which the publishers shrewdly build.
There are nearly a hundred letters. more
than half seeming TO nave been written
during the height of the woman's happi-
ness, the others after a separation-to her
an unexplained m-ystery-from her lover.
She continued to write to him, but the let
tiers were not delivered into his hands
This leaves the confding reader to assume
that the lover, after she was gone, and
! realizing the literary quality of the produc-
tions, gave them over to the publishers-a
theory hardly to be entertained, even with
Mrs. wharton's Tombstone" as a prece-
lent. A Brooklyn paper, discussing the
| subject editorially. rejects this theory. but
| accepts the letters as genuine and the story
of the writer's death as fiction used TO
disguise personalities. and then goes so far
as to announce its belief that the author
is a certain ~well-known American literary
woman (not unknown in I~ndianapolis),
Who's unfortunate love affair with a titled
Englishman was a matter of gossip some
| years ago. To charge a woman openly
with making merchandise of her own love
letters is a most insulting accusation. and
enc the lady in question has done nothing to
| deserve.
The fact of the matter is. undoubtedly,
! that the so-called Letters are pure fic-
| ton. Internal evidence shows this. The
story. for instance. is too well carried along
through the series to have been done un-
consciously; the thoughts are. many OF
them. not those of twenty-five years, which
is the supposed age of the writer. but of
greater maturity and experience. More
over. though they are beautiful letters and
express with utter unreserve an ardent
affection, and are a revealment Of a fine
feminine nature. they do not carry the in
describable impress OF hfe- They are too
remote from the actual. everyday. common
place affairs of which young lovers with
the normal active interest in many things
are sure to talk In a literary and a spir-
ttual sense they are admirable. but for

fined and sent to jail IL they apply their
remedies to those who desire them and are

When woman takes up the cause of man
in her club discussions look out for re-
forms. Member of the Chicago Woman's
Club nave noted the fact that men are
losing the talent for conversation, having
no chance to cultivate ii because women
coming constantly more skilled as CONVEX
sat~ionalists, but are monopolizing the art.
In discussing the subject the ladies ar
rived at no definite conclusion as to the
best way to restore the conversational bal
ance, but the drift of the talk was in favor
of greater feminine reticence in order to
give the now silent and suppressed man
a chance Doubtless at the next meeting
a practical, systematic plan will be- ar
rived at and the conversational regenera-
ton of the Chicago man be begun in
earnest. Once the movement is under
way it will extend until it reaches the
Federation and becomes national in its
scope. Then, indeed. may something be
accomplished. for man can hardly be re-
garded as a sectional issue, andthe Fedora
ton will not quarrel ever him.
Meanwhile, it viii be interesting to note
the steps taken to loosen the tongue of
the Chicago man when in feminine So
ciety. No one has ever accused him of
lacking In conversational powers when
he has men alone for an audience. 1t is
not that he has no command Of language.
