CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
MY husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results,
Il thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin.
ming, his digestion improved; he suf.
fered much less from his nervousness
and when he added Grape.Nuts food
to his diet he vas soon entirely cured.
My friend, Mrs. -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her, On my last visit
home, some months ago, l persuaded
her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was
in despair, and consented. She stuck
to it until it restored her health so
completely that she is now the most
enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that
| W. knew. She eats it with cream
or dry, just as it comes from the pack.

ous and afforded but very little nour

IN MEDICAL PRACTICE.

BY means of the leprolin serum, a
temporary cure has been effected in a
number of cases under the care of the
mission OF lepers in India, and the
patients are kept in special observa-
ton wards.
lnasmuch as a 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 a very slight exertion,
gives a 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 as
great as 1t is now.
According to DIR. 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 o~yereating is the germ Of
nephritis. Mental activity and physi-
cal quiescence aid in its production and
earking 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 a 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 a
weak solution of gutta percha in benz
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 a protective measure for sur
geons is said to be preferable to work
ing with rubber gloves, inasmuch az
the sense Of touch or pliability of the
Skin is not impaired in any way.
