The Royal Month and the IL Oy a
Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptiye. The progress of scrofula dur
ing anormal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily without thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world
There is probable not city or town
where Hood Sarsaparilla has not PROV
ed It's merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely Graduating
scrofula, which is almost serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

THE SKIN OF THE FROG.

A remarkable thing about Il fro. is
that it does the most Of Its breathing
through It's skin. 1t las tDO, for it
cannot take in enough air In the reg.
ular way to support life.
Another queer thing about its skin
is its power to absorb water. The skin
is full OF small pores through which
the water is taken up, and IL Is said
that frog will soak up one.lIalf Of its
own weight 10 an hour Most Of this
absorption is done through the under
part Of the body, which is nearly al.
ways In contact with moisture, such
ss mud, dewey grass, wet ground and
leaves.
The moisture Of the skin is what
makes frog feel cold and clamy. It
may seem almost incredible, but II
you should touch frog lightly witha
red hot poker, it would not move, for
the moisture on its skin would turn
at once into vaper between it and
the poker, and thus prevent the heat
from affecting II. or course, the poker
will burn IL you hold II there long
enough for the vapor to be dissipated.
Hot water, however, will make the
frog jump Immediately, for it's beat
strikes ut one into the skin.
The frog is like the camel 10 having
an interior sack In which u. supply 0f
water Is stored up for future use. This
enables IL to 60 over many dry place
when it would otherwise lose all It's
moisture and die. This stored up
water is as pure as that from q spring.

PEOPLE WHO EAT ARSENIC.
HUNTERS AND WOOD CARvERs USE
THE DRUG TO OVERCOME FATIGUE.


Chicago Chronicle.
The extent Of the arseni:.eating
habit, especially in Europe, would sur.
prise the majority OF those who regard
the drug simply as deadly and dan.
gerous poison. The practice is espe.
cially, prevalent In the Tyrols and
among the Styrians. Prof. Shcllegreu-
Der, OF Gaetz, was the flrst to call at
tentiDn to this practice ia a report
which he made in 1922 To the Austrian
government on the cause Of numerous
deaths from arsenic poisoning in
these districts. He found that arse.
mic was kept 10 most OF the houses in
upper Styria under the name OF "hy.
drach," evidently a corruption Of
''huttenrauch. " or furnace smoke. His
statements made we're subsequently
confirmed from personal observation
by Dr.. Michigan, OF Edinburgh, but
for many years after the arsenic eaters
were generally disbelicved In, and II
was not until 1850 that q. Hcise pub.
lished convincing evidence.
Arsenic is eaten principally by hunt.
ers, with the object Of warding on ia.
tiguc and improving their staying
powers. Owing to the fact that the
sale Of arsenic Is Illegal In Austria
without dOct0r's certificate, II is dif.
flcult to obtain definite inform ation
Of habit which is kept as secret as
possible. According t0a doctor LO-
renzo, In that district, the arsenic Is
taken fasting, usually In cup of cof.
fee, the first dose being minute, In.
creased day hy day until 1t sometimes
amounts TO the enormous sum OF
twelve or fifteen grains. He found
that the arsenic. eaters were usually
l0ng.lived, though liable to sudden
death. They have very fresh, youth
ful appearance, and are seldom ut
tackled by infectious diseases.
After the first dose the usual symp.
toms of slight arsenic poisoning are
evident, but these soon disappear 90
continuing the treatment.
In the arsenic factories at Salzburg
1t Is stated that wOrkmen who are not
arsenic eaters soon succumb to the
fumes. The manager OF one OF these
works informed Mr.. Heise that he had
been medically advised to eat arsenic
before taking up his position. He con.
sidcred that no one should heRin the
practice before twelve years old, nor
after thirty, and that In any case al.
ter flfty years the daily dose should
be gradually reduced, since other wise
sudden death would ensue. II q con.
firmed arsenic eater suddenly attempts
to do altogether without the drug he
Immediately succumbs to the arsenic
poisoning. The only way TO obviate
this is to acclimatize the system by
reducing the dose from day to day.
AS another evidence OF the cumula.
tive properties Of arsenic, it interest.
ing to note that when the graveyards
in upper Syria are opened the bodies
OF the arsenic eaters can be distin-
guishcd by their almost perfect state
Of preservation due to gradually accu'
mulated arsenic.

HYPNOTIST'S POWER,
DR.. Quackenbcs Gives His Theories
Formed After Experience.
Says We Have Within u an Imme.
dial Principle Entirely Indepen-
dent OF Sense OrEans-Has
Treated 1000 People.

BY his declarations that he had ex-
erted a hypnotic influence upon an
ambitious young actress, with the
result that she attained a high rank
in her profession, DR.. John Duncan
Quackenbos, professor emeritus at
Columbia university, has brought
upon himself a deluge Of criticism,
much Of it Favorable, and some OF it
Of an unpleasant nature. ~ this
DR.. QuackeHbos says hat he has be-
come accustomed as a result OF Da*t
experiences. He asserts that in most
instances criticism IS passed without
a full understanding OF the case.
DR.. Quackenbos was discussing the
nature Of the communications re-
ceived by Prof. James H. Hysiop, of
Columbia university, from Mrs. Leon
ora "A. Piper when he related his ex-
perience with the actress who SUBJ
mitted herself to his hypnotic infu-
ence. In statement Mrs. Piper con-
fessed her ignorance of the inf1u-
ences that were at work upon her
when she entered what appeared to
be trance state, but she expressed
the opinion that spirits were in no
manner connected with the phenom-
enon. DR.. Quackenbos said that he
spoke from experience derived from
1000 hypnotic patients.
"These Subjects" said DR.. Ouack-
enbos, explaining his methods,
sought my aid for almost every
conceivable malady, mental and
moral, some for philosophical,
many for literary or dramatic in
SEPARATION. I have thus been brought
into c!o:c:t touch with the human
soul, practically liberated in the hyp-
motto slumber from it's ENHANCEMENT
with a perishable body. No injury
has come to my mental or physical
health as result of unremittipg
work as suggestionist, because I
get something back from my pa
tients, otherwise I would be q nerv-
Gus bankrupt.
1.-THE time has come when souls
may know of each other without the
intermediary of senses. I do not hes
itate to say that we have within us
an immedial principle entirely indie
pendent of sense organs. This fact
casts light upon the principles of tel
epathic communication. Minds
brought into hypnotic contact can
exchange thoughts, ideas, convic-
tons and feelings, which suggest the
possibility that such minds may COM
municate without reference to space
limitations. Absolute experiments
have demonstrated that insects are
capable of thought transference so
far reaching as to impress their fell
lows miles away"
