There S perhaps no class of remedial
agents more abused than tonies. The
abuse consists both in the excessive
use and the misapplicution of this class
OF agents. which within restricted
field possess an ludisputable and inn-
portant therapeutic value. The misuse
of tonicS Is doubtless the outgroWth
of IL misconception of the real nature OF
this class OF remedial agents aud Its
limitations. Many physicians also seem

Tradition has weird tale To tell
about the casting of the bell which
stands in the center OF Seoul, the capi-
tai of Korea. The mystery OF Its sono-
rous ciang still inspires the inhabitants
with awe and pity. When the bell was
first east Ii was found to be cracked.
1t was thrown into the smelling pot
and east second time, with no better
result. The artificers proceeded 10 re-
east II third time, and while they
were on the point OF completing their
task woman walked up to the fur
mace with a child and cried, Twice
have We failed and thrice will ye fail
II there be no blood IN IT," With these
words she snatched up her child and
threw IL into the molten mass. The
bell when east, was found to be with
out II flaw and 10 this day the people
aver that the tone Of the bell as II
peals forth is the plteOus wall Of the
child, Mother mother, oh, mother!
