WASP STIKGS
People Who Have Died From The Effects
Of Them

In an article on the stings Of wasps
a British medical journal cites the two
following cases which have come un-
der its notice: A strong, healthy girl Of
p was stung on the neck by a wasp
and tainted. On regaining conscious
ness she complained Of n general feel
ing OF numbness and partial blindness.
and yomited. She suffered severe alb
dominal pain. She recovered In the
course Of few hours. Two months
later she was stung again, this time on
the hand. Her face became flushed,
she again complained of numbness- and
blindness, suddenly became very pale,
tainted and died % minutes after she
was stung.
Another case was that of a girl Of %
years, who was stung by q wasp be-
hind the angle of the jaw. The sting
was at once extracted and ammonia
applied. In a few minutes she COM
planned of faIntness and would have
fallen II she had not been supported.
Her face assumed an expression Of
great anxiety, and few minutes later
she was tossing on the bed complain
ing Of a horrible feeling Of choking
and of agonizing pain in the chest and
abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There
was nausea. but no vomiting. She
rapidly became insensible and died IS
minutes after receiving the sting. The
most probable explanation of such
cases seems to lie in what is known as
idiosyncrasy-that is, abnormal sensi-
tiveness In particular individuals to
certain toxic agents. 1t is well known
that drugs vary much in action on diff
ferent people. What Is a safe dose for
one Is dangerously large for another.
The inability Of some people to eat
strawberries or shellfsh is another In
stance Of the same phenomenon. The
active agent OF bee stings Is generally
believed to be formic acid. 1t therefore
seems very desirable that we should
have more accurate information re-
garding the action of this drug on DIFF
ferent species OF the lower animals
and through them on man himself

A chIropodI.t,n Adrioe.

A chiropodlst advises that foot COM
fort is much enhanced If all callous
places on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily and
the feet kept In excellent condition by
using a fine pumice stone every morn
ing after the bath. The pumice stone
should, Of course. be wet, and If rubbed
daily over the points on the feet that
have hardened or shown tendency to
harden the places can be made and
kept smooth. After a corn has been
removed. too, a light rubbing daily
Of the place where it has been will
often prevent it's return.

There is a youngster in Girard col

with a keen sense OF humor. He is
not a close student-in fact. he regards
books as instruments of torture. One
Of the professors picked up a textbook
belonging to him the other day and
found on the fly leaf this bit of verse,
