The new method advocated by Doctor
II. s. Frenkel CT Heiden. Switzerland, is
contrary to the usual procedure of giving
the patient rest, working in exactly the OPP
posite direction. The fault in the sufferer
from locomotor ataxia Is lack Of co-ordina-
ton. failure to properly control the mem
bers of the body from the central organ,
the brain.
Now this being the case. Doctor Frenkel
argues that rest only increases the lack OF
control. which Is not absolute to begin
with, and the proper way to overcome this
gradual loss Of power is to increase the
power artificially.
The physical basis for his argument lies
In the fact that not all Of the cells of the
affected nerves become degenerated at once,
but some Of them still retain sufficient SEN
sibility to respond to proper impulses. The
way, then, to re-establish the activity Of
these nerves, 10 to keep these good cells

thus restoring the power Of the entire nerve

Josiah Quincy IN his own "Histary Of Har-

any native OF Massachusetts, during the

written in the Presidents Chair before Il

rides out to Cambridge on his annual visi-
tation.
The Harvard chair has always been an
object Of interest to those who have seen
It. President Holyoke, during whose ad-
ministration In the Eighteenth Century
from 1871 to 1U9-the chair first appeared
in Cambridge, once told . correspondent
that he had been asked about It more
than fifty times without having been able
to say anything definite regarding its his
tory.
Tho chair seems simply to have appeared
in the college and been dedicated to use
by the president. not at first on SO purely
formal an occasion as Commencement, but
merely as . serviceable piece Of everyday
furniture.
President Holyoke. not being altogether
satisfied with its appearance, added the
round knobs with which 1t il now decorat-

partly the work OF = former president.
About the time that the cid chair ap-
peared IN CambridEe. Horace walpole was
hunting ell over England for similar pieces
Walpole had seen . c1oister at Windsor
furnished with "encient wooden chairs.
most Of them triangular. but all of various
patterns, and carved and turned in the
most uncouth and whimsical forms.''
These chairs had been picked up one by
