rhey Once Thought White Men to Bs
Submarine Monsters.
There is a passage In one Of the an
cient Arab histories to the effect that
the white people come from the other
side Of the sea-" This statement has
become so distorted among certain
tribes of natives of the Sudan that
they believe that the white men come
from the bottom Of the sea. A willy
Arab leader in this district once in
formed his followers that they had
nothing to fear from the white men,
as they could not live away from the
water. The fact that a high official
took his bath daily was further con-
sidered confrmatory evidence Of the
submarine origin of the white man.
The Arabs, In order to retain their in
auence over the natives, spread broad
cast the report that the white men
were cannibals. The fact that they did
not eat black men was explained as
due to their devllish cunning. They
wanted to make themselves strong in
the country before beginning their hor-
rid practices, but as they could not al
together do without this kind Of food
they brought human flesh with them in
cans. In west Africa French expedi-
ton had the unfortunate experience Of
finding a portion Of human finger
cut off, no doubt, by some accident-in
a can of meat. Here was fresh and
conclusive confirmation Of the story,
In which the people had almost ceased
to believe, and it was only after con.
siderable lapse of time that the idea
was at length eradicated. - Chicago

A young American who recently completed course of study in an English university brought home as souvenir of his residence in that classic place a decided English ac- cent says the New York Press He stopped the other day at downtown bootblack's stand to get his shoes shined. The boy who attended to the cleansing process smiled upon him familiarly.
 When you first began to come here,' he said, q took you for an Eng lishman. You talked like one, but I know now you ain't"
 How did you find that out?" asked the American, obviously somewha. disappointed.
 Because you get your shoes shined so often," was the startling reply If you were an Englishman you wouldn't do that Nobody takes such good care of their shoes as Americans If it were not for their daily shine a lot of us fellows would have to go out of business and the sale of backing and polish would fall off one-half Next to Americans, Russians get a shine most frequently The English are the worst of all. They get a shine only once week Even when otherwise well dressed their shoes are gray and out of shape. If ever you want to pass yourself off for an Englishman you'll have to cut out all this polish ing. With such spick ad span shoes even an accent that you can cut with a knife won't carry you through"

THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
A Particularly Painful Form of This Disease Yields to pr. Williams
 Pink Pills,

Of the many forms which rheumatism takes, that which is popularly known as sciatic rheumatism probably tortures it's victim more than any other. That Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured this stubborn as well as painful trouble is a fact proven by the following statement, and no sufferer who reads this can af- ford to let prejudice stand ill the way of trying these blood-making pills.
 Rheumatism is now generally re- cognized as a disease of the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make-actually make-pure blood. When the blosd is pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs. Thomas Bresnehan, of 54 Mill street, Watertown, N. Y., says:
 "My trouble began with a severe cold which l took about week before Christmas ill 1904. I began to have rheumatic pains ill my back and limbs and after time I couldn't straighten up. suffered the most awful pain for months and much of the time was un- able to leave the house and had to take hold of chair in order to walk and sometimes I could not sand up at all.
 1.-The disease was pronounced sciatic rheumatism and, although | had a good physician and took his medicine faith fully, did not get any better. After some six weeks of this terrible pain and suffering I tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills and that is the medicine that cured me. After few boxes the pain was less intense and I could see decided im- provement. continued to take the pills until I was entirely cured and I have never had any return of the trouble"

Sight Restored to Child.

Equally remarkable and interesting is the operation by which sight has been restored to the blind eyes of lit tie Margaret Huber aged ten years, of No. 524 East Eighty-fourth street, New York city. She has become the subject of widespread interest among opthalmologists by reason of her pin hole camera" eyes. Eye surgeons who have followed the case at the German Poliklinik declare it to be, so far as their observations have gone, without an exact parallel
 Nobody knows exactly how Mar garet became blind. The liquid mat ter constituting the lens of the eyes became atrophied and was entirely absorbed, leaving the lens a thick apaque, ibrous cap, which shut out every glimmer of light This was three years ago, when the little girl was only seven.
 Several operations were tried. but with no good results. The membranes of the eyes were punctured, but they immediately closed again over the openings like sheet rubber when a hole is made in it.
 Dr. John A. Price, chief surgeon of the ophthalmic department of the German Poliklinik, iook charge of the case, performing three operations in February, March and April, 1894 The third one restored the sight to the left eye The right eye remained stone blind until two weeks ago, when he performed a most unusual and sue cessful operation upon it.

Restored to Nationality.

q
 At Stamford, Conn, unique opera tion on the skull of the two-year-old son of Michael Gunther has given the boy nationality. The child was bora with normal mental and physical en- dowments and began to show, when year old, signs of general deficiency in all his senses. It was finally deter mined by the surgeons interested in the case to explore the child's skull Dr. J. T. Higgins, of New York, as- sisted by Drs. Whitehorn and Hogan, of New York, and Howell and Loeb, of Stamford, performed the operation at Stamford Hospital few months ago. They removed a strip of bone from the skull three inches long and one-half inch wide, to give the brain a chance to grow. Immediately on re- covering from the anaesthesia, look of normal intelligence showed in the child's eyes, proving the theory of the doctors that the skull had been press ing unduly on the brain. With the pressure relieved, the brain was free to exert itself. The doctors believe the boy will soon be able to talk and act as rationally as the brightest of his little playmates.
 Dr. Guthrie and Dr. Carrell, of the University of Chicago, have been mak- ing series of remarkable expert ments in surgery. Hearts of dogs have been successfully moved up into the animals necks and there per formed their functions. The circula- tion of blood in canines has been re- versed without causing the animals any apparent inconvenience.
 What we have learned" said Dr. Carrell a short time ago, gives us hope that some day we may replace wounded and worn-out hearts in hu. man beings with the healthy, youthful and strong hearts of living monkeys" Sewing Up Stabbed Heart. A recent dispatch from Milan de scribed wonderful surgical opera. ton there by Dr. Meda. A workman had been murderously assaulted, 8 knife in the hand of an assassin aetu. ally piercing his heart. He was at tended by surgeons who cut a way through his breast to reach the wounded heart. Three stitches were required to close the wound, which had almost entirely healed five days after the operation

which are of service to the economy, either by supplying a need or oy de- stroying other substances which are needless or positively harmful. This last function is usually prescribed to the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
 Tt is obvious that, in the broadest sense of the expression, all tissues and organs of the body may be said to have an internal secretion-i. C., the blood which leaves by their veins contains different chemical substances from that which enters by their ar. teries.
 The most usually quoted example, however, of a gland which has both an external and an internal secretion is the pancreas. A relation between diseases of the pancreas and diabetes has long been suspected, but Minkow- ski and Mehring first definitely showed that complete removal of the pancreas in the dog, cat and pig is followed by diabetes, having the usual symptoms of that disease in man. That this is caused by the absence of an internal secretion is proved by the fact that it does not occur if the gland be left in situ and the duct tied, nor does it occur if portion of the pan creas be grafted in some situation re- mote from it's normal position. How the internal secretion of the pancreas normally prevents glycosuria is not clear. We can only say that it exerts some influence upon the carbohydrate metabolism, either by favoring the formation of glycogen in the liver from the dextrose taken to it by the portal vein or by furthering the oxida- ton of dextrose in the tissues gener- ally"

Most Recent the Work of Dr. Karl Garre of Berlin in Which Devoted Mother Gave Part oHer Own Throat to Convert
 Her Idiot Daughter Into Bright Little Girl

New Tork.-Medical men here and abroad are awaiting with considera- ble interest a report from Berlin giy- ing complete details of a most daring and unusual surgical operation per formed there a few weeks ago.
 An idiot child, the six-year-old daughter of Mrs. Louis Wolff, a resi- dent of Berlin, has been converted into an intelligent being by the pEoc- ess of grating part of the mother's thyroid gland upon the child's pan: creas. Reduced to plainer language, this means that part of the mothers throat has been transferred by the grating process to a gland. or tissue, lying directly at the back of the .stom- ach. By this operation the dull. in active brain of little Lena Wolff has been awakened so that it is now per

forming the duties for which 1t WAS intended
 This, in the history of medical science, is without parallel, not only because such an operation was never attempted before, but also beca1se of Its seeming vagueness. The idea of grating part of the throat of a mother to the pancreas gland of her child with the expectation of conveft- ing the child from idiocy to a normal, mental condition would seem at first glance unworthy of ser1ouss> consider ation. But Dr. Karl Garre, professor of surgery in the medical faculty of Breslau university, to whom the oper- ation is credited, did exactly what has been described above, and recent de- spatches from Berlin declare that the operation has been pronoureed a com plete success.
 Professor Garre is an eminent Ger man surgeon whose success. ip the transplanting of organs from one ami nal to another and even f+om the lower animals to human. ~4isinga, has attracted the attention and admira- tion of surgical men all over the world. When his report of how he changed Lena Wolff from an idiot into a bright and intelligent little girl is completed it will form a valuable ad- dition to the list of modern miraclss of surgery.
 From the details of the case al ready received from Germany it ap- pears that Lena Wolff was born an idiot six years ago, says the New York World. Reason never dawned for her as in other babies She had come into the world without one ap- parent spark of intelligence and seemed doomed tospass her whole life without knowing the.joas and sorrows of living.
 Her. case was called to the attention of Professor Garre, who was inter- ested from the very beginning, be- cause in it he saw possibility of be- ing able to prove the correctness of a theory on which he had been at work. This involved the probable action or influence that certain substances or secretions found in the ductless glands of the human body have upon the blood.
 It is the blood, as everybody knows, that feeds the brain, keeping it active and clear and in good working order If the blood is thin or sluggish the brain is first to record that fact The great German surgeon knew that the reason Lena Wolff's brain was dull and inactive was because the blood was not feeding it as it should

according to the theory of the Ger man surgeon. In the case of Lena Wolff. he believed the pancreas was minus one very important digestive essential, without which it could not do its work properly That very inn portant essential had to be supplied by grating a portion of a ductless gland from another living person. The child's mother readily offered herself as a sacrifice. She was per pectly willing to undergo the neces- sarily painful and tedious operation of having part of her throat grafted on the body of her little daughter if only it would give Lena her reason.
 The operation took place in one of the large hospitals in Berlin, and by the grating process one end of the mothers thyroid gland was released and stretched over to the exposed pan crease of her idiot daughter.
 For days neither motherr nor child was permitted to move. To insure a successful grating operation they had been tightly bound together, the child's body against her mothers neck and there they remained until the severed end of the thyroid gland had knit firmly to the pancreas, forming a living, pulsating link between mother and daughter Then the link was cut, leaving portion of the thyroid gland grafted successfully to the child's pancreas It is believed now that both mother and child will recover The complete success of the opera ton, cannot, however, be announced yet, as too short a time has elapsed since the operation was performed.
 First Dawn of Reason.
 But it is known that the dawn of reason came to little Lena Wolf al most immediately after the thyroid gland began to knit. For the very first time the idiotic stare gave place to a look of intelligence. She may grow up to be very bright young woman.
 Dr. Swale Vincent, professor of physiology in the University of Mani toba, at Winnipeg, Canada, has pre- pared an extremely interesting article on the duties of the thyroid gland, the pancreas and other ductless glands, which appeared in recent issue of the London Lancet.
 'It is believed" he says, that these ductless glands manufacture and pour directly or indirectly into the blood stream some substance or substances

The task of the surgeon was to cut so delicately and precisely as to divide the obstruction and let the light into the eye again.

 Some Surgical Marvels.
 Philadelphia and Toledo, Ohio, have recently contributed to the list of marvels of surgery through operations on the brains of incorrigible and men, tally defective boys. A still more re- cent case is that of Carl Fredericks, aged nine years, of No. 200 Clinton street, Hoboken. He is under observa- ton at the Railway Reformatory prep aratory to the practical reconstruction of his brain.

 Tests made a few days ago showed that the boy had no sense of right or wrong. This is attributed to an ab- normal brain growth.
