MEDICAL PROGRESS.
Important Discoveries of Remedies
and Preventives.

At the close of the year the American.
in speaking Of the work accomplished
by the various branches of human en-
deavOr, ventured the opinion that 1903
would be a year of realization in medi-
cine-realizat ion from the researches
and discoveries and the faithful labors
of the preceding and other years. The
world has not advanced far into the
present year vet there are good rea-
sons for believing that the prediction
will be justified. The remarl1a Bile cures
wrought by the use Of formalin have
startled even the medical profession.
There can be no doubt of the cures,
though much is still unknown concern
ing the effects of fOrmalin what are
its limitations and how far it can be
safely applied It has cured some peO-
pie. however. and the discovery of the
class Of cases to which it can be ap-
piled IS only a matter of time.
This is not the only discovery of the
new year. An italian physician has
found the bacillus of pneumonia. and
has made use of it to arrest the prog
ress Of the disease Many physicians
perhaps all-haVe conceded that pneu-
mona was a germ disease but the
opinion on the subject has been vague,
and the fact that pneumonia appeared
to spring from sudden changes of tenn
perature or reckless exposure rather
than from germs has led the Iayman
to accept the bacillus theory with more
or less of incredulity The discovery Of
the italian physician goes far to estab-
lish that every disease is the result of
germs This being ascertained, it ought
not to be difficult, reasoning by analogy,
to find a remedy for every disease.
These are not the only discoveries in
1903. only a month of which has passed.
Prof Baginsky of the Emperor and
Empress Frederick Children's hospital.
in Berlin. announces that a discovery
of serum against scarlet fever has been
made by DR.. Aronson. He believes that
the serum will be a specific for this
disease. There can be few more i'm
portant medical discoveries. There is
no greater scourge of infancy than scar
let fever. In recent years it seems to
have been more benign than formerly
but it is a treacherous and exasperating
disorder and physicians viii joyfully

blunder of putting their principals for

not prepared to believe) to arm the

If the laws need amending it is his duty

In all probability President Roosevelt

NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION.
Character as Well as Numbers Must
Be Taken Into Consideration.

A big circulation is an excellent thing,
but the character of the circulation
should be taken into consideration, and,
in many cases. quality counts more for
effectiveness than quantity. If you are
selling Oriental rugs for example, a pa
per which has a circulation of a hundred
thousand among bricklayers, car drivers
and workingmen generally will not
bring you as many customers as one
which reaches 5000 bankers and ner-
chants. whereas the less aristocratic
sheet with the big circulation would IN
doubtedly be the better medium in
which to advertise Overalls. There is a
good many things beside circulation to
be taken into consideration when LAYING
out an advertising campaign, and no
hard and fast rules can be laid down to
govern the advertiser. Pianos require a
different medium from mouth organs
