laughs at the fads that seize upon
physicians from time to time. He
told me once about the tar-water fad
"a thing that agitated France and
England and Germany in the eight
zenith century.
1T seems that tar-water was sud
denly declared to possess almost mir
aculous virtues. Doctors used it for
everything. 1t was as popular among
them as radium now.
ITO one of the French medical SO.
cieties surgeon, noted usually for
skepticism, wrote that tar-water was
good in surgery.
"A sailor broke his leg and applied
to me for help the surgeons letter
ran. bound together the broken por
tons, and washed them with t. cele-
brated tar-water. Almost Immediately
the sailor felt the beneficial effects OF
this remedy, and it was not long be
fore the leg was completely healed.
This letter was highly applauded
by the society, and resolutions were
passed advocating tar-water for frac
lures. But the organization was pretty
well disguised at its next meeting
when the surgeon, in another letter
said:

which referred was a wooden one.''
