to a group of physicians.

hard work to convince u patients
that we do. If you only knew how
this beastly stun t%astes, doctor, you
wouldn't ask me to take It, is the
complaint they make when dosed with

And they are hard headed people, too,
who say that, people who are by no
means raving in delirlum. No matter
how sincerely l may protest 1t is hard
to persuade them that l do know how
the stun tastes just as well as they
do.

His lordship In relating the story says
that the chaplain eyed the dog for a

TO solve the difficult problems OF life

But Mr.. Layton had planned that his

succeed to great wealth and the entire
control Of an established business.

Their and son led to a stormy inter-

Travellers in Peru and countries
where cocoa grows chew the leaves OF
this plant for tho purpose of allaying
the sense of hunger and the feeling Of
exhaustion that accompanies it. At
first the leaves were thought to possess
food elements, but now 1t Is known
that the cocaine they contain merely
allays the irritabillty Of the nerves that
produce the sense of hunger. Cocaine
is On alkaloId made from the cocoa
leaf, which has the effect Of completely
destroying the s%enslbllity of nerves.
The discovery of this active principle
Of the cocoa leaf explained fully and
satisfactorily the effect produced by
chewing the leaves. An infusion Of the
leaf might be used with good results In
allaying the gnawlng appetite that fol-
lows some forms Of fever or in cases
where the sense of hunger is due to a
diseased condition Of the stomach. Co
caine should never be used except on
the prescription of a trustworthy physl-
clan, because It is dangerous. The co
caine habit Is more readily formed than
either the morphine or the liquor habit
and is far more rapid In its work OF de-
structiOn.
