carried to cattle. The great amount
of work done by physicians and
boards of health to prevent the sale
of tuberculous beef and milk has
been, according to Prof. Koch's the.
| cries, perfectly useless. If we are to
believe these notions, we must be-
lieve that human tuberculosis and
bovine tuberculosis are entirely diff
ferent diseases caused by entirely diff.
ferent germs. This we have not been
able to demonstrate. It must be re-
membered, before accepting the opin-
ions of the great Koch without ques-
ton, that he is the same man who
gave to the world the "sure cure'' for
tuberculosis in Tuberculin. Tuber-
culin was a product of the tubercle
bacillus, on the same principle as
diphtheria antitoxin and vaccine, and
its use resulted in such general harm
to the sufferers from tubercular con-
ditions that it was discontinued early.
The bulk of the medical thinkers do
not agree with Prof. Koch in his new
views; but he is too great man to
prevent his opinions making pro-
| found impression on both the lay
and professional mind.
The London Lancet tells of an
liberated condition of the tongue
E! (cancerous) which began we'll back
on that organ and progressed until
the tongue was practically amputat-
ed by the disease process.
A French medical journal tells Of
the successful experiments of Roger
who inoculated rabbits with small
pox and found that they developed
typical cases of the disease.
The Island of Barri will now prob.
ably become of interest to the lay
man as well as to the medical man.
It has been selected as the place for
the segregation of lepers from the
Filipinos.
A great deal of attention has been
given by surgeons to the infection of
wounds even after the very best
methods of antisepsis had been en-
ployed. Genevet has recently discov-
cred that even after the most rigid
sterilization, while the surface of
the surgeons hand may be absolute
~ germ free, the perspiration will
bring out the germs from the depths
of the sweat follicles. To overcome
this he has suggested that the hands
of the surgeon be soaked for ten min
utes in a solution of tannin before
the operation begins that sweating
may be avoided.
1t has been discovered by an Amer
lean physician that diphtheria anti
toxin is very valuable in the cure
and prevention of scarlet fever. When
one remembers that the first and one
of the most marked symptoms of
scarlet fever is the angina or sore
throat, and when we find that diph-
liberia antitoxin is valuable remedy
we are not surprised that it has been
suggested that there is close rela-
ton between the two diseases. In
cidentally it may be remarked that
recent investigation points to recur-
ring sore throat and rheumatism be-
ing of the same origin. Additional
evidence to this fact is that salicylate
of soda or salicylic acid is valua BILE in
the cure of both.

tains and peaks that no one has left a
record of climbing before. In this
case, of course, the pleasure will fall
to your lot of erecting a cairn, or pile
of stones, on the summit Of each, thus
leaving a lasting monument which may
one day cause a great disgust to fill
the heart of another explorer when he
finds himself forestalled.
In erecting cairn it is well to build
it as firmly as possible or storm may
dislodge it and in its fall it may set an
avalanche rolling down the mountain
side. Cairns are sometimes designed
with large stones to represent human
figures, in which case the stone that
stands for the head is very liable to
topple from the shoulders unless they
are given a good width.

recites error in two cases in Washing
