IN MEDICAL PRACTICE.

BY means of the leprolin serum, a

number of cases under the care of the
mission of lepers in India, and the
patients are kept in special observa-

Inasmuch as soldier wounded in
battle sometimes lacks the strength
to call out for help, Dr. Matignon,
French doctor in the Japanese Red
Cross service, has invented a whistle

The publication of the water sup
ply of Chicago and the Improvement Of
the drainage system of that city have
cut the mortality from typhoid fever
down to about one-third of the death
list from that disease when the popu-
lation was little more than half as
great as it is now.
According to DR.. T. L. Macdonald,
the prosperous and strenuous mental
life, combined with gorging, explains
the frequency of Bright's disease in
ugh official circles at Washington He
says that overeating is the germ Of
nephritis. Mental activity and physi-
cal quiescence aid in its production and
carking care and Worry are also causa-
tive factors. Bright's disease is
prone to attack the intellectual and
the anxious. Alcohol, he thinks, is
not as potent cause as is generally
believed.
A rubber film glove has been de-
vised for surgeons. The gloves are
put on" by immersing the hands in
weak solution of gutta percha in ben
zine or acetone. The purpose of the
film is to seal the surfaces of the hands
with an insoluble, impervious and
practically imperceptible pellicle, which
will not admit blood, pps or secretions.
Such protective measure for sur
geons is said to be preferable to work
ing with rubber gloves, inasmuch as
the sense of touch or pliability of the
skin is not impaired in any way

According to a writer, the American
Rhodes scholars at Oxford present an
interesting contrast to their English
students. AS to their relative
scholarship, he found the Englishmen
to be the much better informed of the
two, though on fewer subjects. The!
were much more thorough classicists,
much better read in all literatures and
in the newspapers. The American
students had pursued more subjects,
science especially, but, as rule, had
not gone deep enough into anything to
get a firm hold on it.

HAS A PIN
CAUGHT IN THROAT.
Little Girl in Newark Swallowed
1t Several Days
Ago.

NEWARK, Aug. 30:-With an
open safety pin lodged in her throat
Christina Fisher, eleven months old
of No. 54 William street, is a patien
at the City Hospital. The doctors
have been trying to find the pin by
g of the X-rays, but thus far in
vain.
On last Thursday morning, while
her mother was dressing her, tho
baby reached out and grabbed {
safety pin from q nearby table. True
to the instinct of babyhood, she put
it in her mouth and attempted tC
swallow it. She made no complaint
and her mother did not know she had
swallowed the pin until she noticed
it was missing from the table. Then
Mrs. Fisher resorted to home meth
DDS to dislodge it from the little ones
throat. Her efforts were unavailing
When her husband came home she
told him what had happened and he
took the child to a physician, who
made an attempt to dislodge the pin,
Failing in the attempt he advised
the parents to await developments
for several days. This they did, and
then, by his advice, took the child
to the Babies Hospital. Strange to
say, the little one appears to suffer
no pain. A hard lump in the throat
denotes the presence of the pin.

GERM DISEASES OF SUMNER.

1t is the person with a weak stom-

People with strong stomachs and

A great many people imagine that
their headaches, dizziness, heart
Durn' or general dependency and

when the whole trouble is the direct
result of a weak stomach and i'm

Mi-o-na tablets will show by the
great gain in health that the stomach
is the aus of the poor health, and
that Mi-o-na is the only remedy that
will drive out all weakness, debility.

Mi-o-na is so nearly infallable in
curing the diseases resulting from a
weakened stomach, excepting cancer
of the stomach, that @. A. Sexton
guarantees to refund the money
should the remedy not give perfect
