patients are kept in special observa-

Inasmuch as . soldier wounded in
battle sometimes lacks the strength
to call out for help, DR.. Matignon, a
French doctor in the japanese Red
Cross service. has invented a whistle
which. with very slight exertion,
gives q loud sound.
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 a
great as 1t is now.
According to Dr.. T. I. Macdonald.
the prosperous and strenuous mental
life, combined with gorging, explains
the frequency Of Bright's disease in
nigh 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, 10
not as potent . cause a. IL generally

A rubber aim 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, pus or secretions.
Such Q 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.
