THE DOOR OF DISEASE.
ImeIIs That Are Valuable TO Phy-
sicians as Means OF
Diagnosis.

Berard says that, apart from the
excretions, an abnormal odor OF the
skin tends to draw flies, and that, how
ever little noticeable il may be, il de-
notes death is near; and Boerhaave
held that a cadaveric odor always
presages death. Althaus tells us that
Skoda was hardly ever led into error
BY this indication, and Compton also
laid great stress upon this as clinical
symptom; but the smell given of dur

A musky odor obtains TO several
maladies, notably peritonitis, jaundiee

a sweet, nauseating breath, with per-

BRITISH SUFFER
 A DOZEN DEFEATS
POWER OF THE BoERs IS IN CREASlNG DAILY OVER CAPE COLONY AND THE REBELLION IS SPREADING RAPIDLY.

London, January 25.-The Daily News has published from it's correspondent at The Hague, who it claims, is very ac- curate, the following dispatch from pri- vate advices: i
 News from South Africa has reached military circles Were that the power of the Boers over Cape Colony is increasing daily that the rebellion is constantly spreading and that the Colonists are join ing the Boers in steadily increasing num- bers The executions of Commandant Lotter October Il, 19O1) and Commandant Scheepers (January IS, 1902 have had the result of deciding the loyalists to join the Boers, whose position is consistently reported to be more favorable than ever.''
 The same private advices assert that the British suffered dozen defeats from September to November 1901. of which no mention is made in Lord l<itchener's reports.
 The Daily News commenting upon thls dispatch, confesses that it's statements are probably exaggerated. but is of the opinion that the denials of MT. Balfour, the government leader in the House of Commons, that lhere had been any. Boer overtures for peace, points to the fact that the Boers believe their position to be less desperate than is generally sup posed s3
