weather came was as bad off as ever, so
finally decided to let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing

good as anything had tried.

st. Petersburg, Dec. S.-Foreign tel
egrams received here stating that the
Japanese have succeeded in mounting
heavy guns on 203-Metre Hill are re-
garded as seriously significant and
have created a deep depression at the
war Office. If the reports of the sink
ing of the Russian warships in the
harbor of Port Arthur are confirmed 1t
destroys the last hope of sortie, and
when the end comes nothing remains
but to sink those that remain in deep
water to prevent them falling into the
hands of the enemy.
The war Office is unable to identify

The Importance of 2O3-Metre Hill to

Writing to the London Lancet, DR.. R.
O. Lucas adds a new count to the in
dictment against the corset-namely,
that under certain circumstances it
may be responsible for cancer. Three
cases have come under the doctors no.
tee in which cancer in women started
at a point where the edge Of the corset
crosses the edge of the big muscle of
the chest, says the New York Herald
In describing two Of them he says:
1T occurred on the right side in each
case and in women whose occupations
led them to undue use of the right arm
and in consequence to the excessive
friction Of the upper edge of the corset.
The friction Of tho corset at this spot Is
therefore the cause of a cancerous
process developing In this situation,
and to express this fact l have given it
the name of corset cancer"
