tell instantly whether a number is a
perfect square, cube, fourth or fifty
power, and has one method by which
by one operation he can tell if a
number is Invisible by Z. IL, Is, and a
similar method by which he can de
termine IL number is divisible by
lO1. All of these and many other
methods are explained by Mr.. Griffith.
but in many of them the process is so
complicated that a mind unframed
along that line would scarcely ap-
preciate the work and few could
master even one of the methods and
use ii without pencil as does the
mind which originated it.
The question of accuracy is always
raised by those who see Griffith work
ing. He is a remarkably developed
human being, but at the same time it
should be remembered that he is
human. He almost never makes mis-
takes. and in those cases the errcr
can usually be traced to confusion
of figures rather than a mistake in his
Use of them. Many people in trying
follow Griffith have labored long aud
earnestly to solve his problems by the
old methods. The processes take
hours and quantities of paper and
patiencs. In many cases a different
answer has been obtained. In these
cases when the work has been sub
mitted to Griffith, he has glanced over
the work and pointed where the first
error was committed, and the cor
rected work has proved that Griffiths
work, which was done in a few
seconds, was correct. One example
which illustrates this was that of an
Indiana school teacher who worke d
hard for eight hours over a problem
which Griffith had solved in 20
seconds, and found that he had OBJ
tanned a different result. Griffith
looked over the work and almost in
stantly found an error in the profes.
sor's work.
While engaged in working series
of tests Griffith multiplied 142,S57 ,143
by 465,S91 ,433 and obtained the pro.
duct, $685., 800, 495, 127.349, in 10 Sec
onds. He multiplied 999. $685. 99 b.
1927, S41,227, and had completed the
writing of the product, 327,S41, 276.672.-
1SS.723, in 91s seconds. Other num-
bers required a longer time, but in no
case was the time needed to complete
the multiplication more than 80 Sec
onds. Factors of numbers were
called out as quickly as the number
was submitted. The fifth power OF
| 996, which equals 9S0159. 1861, 27S, 976,
was obtained in 81 seconds. Cubes of
large numbers were given without
hesitation, and in case the number
was not perfect cube the number
which is the nearest perfect cube was
given at once.
Arthur Griffith was born in 1880 and
has lived in or near Milford, Ind, all
his life, except during the times he
has been under observation at col
| leges. His education along lines
other than mathematics is as good as
might be expected when it is re,
membered that his training has been
limited to seven years in village
school.

decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism, which had
crippled him so that at times he could
not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. He
had suffered for years. but was grad
ually getting worse till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
derful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of Rheumatism left.
