sNATCHED FROM DEATHS DOOR.
All hopes of the woman's recovery were aban-
doned, as she could not swallow, and it was de-
cided that there was nothing ahead for her but
starvation. The pain from the growth in the
throat was intense and with the idea Of merely
relieving the woman's agony, friend recon-
mended the infusion of violet leaves. Lady Mar
garet had been so pestered with remedies and sug,
gestions of one kind or another, that at first
she declined to test this one, which seemed on
the face of it to move little to recommend
but the friend from whom it came insisted that
it might give her few moments respite from
the awful pain which she was suffering.
The relief experienced by the suffering woman
was noticeable at once and the application was
made repeatedly and regularly, so that at the
end OF two weeks the swelling had almost entirely
disappeared. A little longer and there was no
trace whatever of the recent trouble
Because of the social standing of this patient
and of the distinguished position held by the
physicians who had attended her and whose et-
forts had entirely failed, the case attracted un.

the west, the winter of Quebec is as cold as that
of St. Petersburg, although Quebec lies further
south than London. At the mouth of the Hayes
River in Hudson Bay, ice is found everywhere
on digging four feet down, even in the middle OF
summer. And this spot is in the same latitude
as the south of Scotland
OF course, the main factor on which the tenn

the Equator. How, then, does it happen that
England is so favored by Nature? There are
several reasons. Warm ocean currents now TO-
wards its western shores, coming up from the
southwest If England were on the eastern side
of great continent she would be frozen out by
the icy ocean streams flowing down from the
Polar regions. At the present time the islands
are just situated SO that the Gulf Stream washes
its coasts, bringing the warmth 1t has acquired

and through the Gulf of Mexico.
Then, also, there is the curious geographical
fact that the greater part of the dry land OF
Much OF this land is in temperate and tropical
zones, and, so situated, land has far greater
warming effect on the atmosphere than has water
These are the chief reasons why England is
such pleasant place to live in. But 1T might
easily have been otherwise, and the best proof
of this is the fact that it once otherwise
Not so very long ago, as time is measured by
geologists, Great Britain was sunk under the sea
and covered with vast iceberss Great isolated
boulders and blocks are found, which were
brought long distances in icebergs and deposited
in the British Islands Then, by some movement
in the earth's crust, the Nountry was lifted out
of the sea, and the remain5er of the dry land
was so arranged that quite genial climate pre-
vailed. Forests grew, and ANIMALS of temperate
and warm climates Aourished But once more
the land sank, and was again covered with ice
and snow The geology of the district round
Cromer clearly proves these facts. Near Ipswich,
and at Bridlington in Yorkshire too, shells have
been found of animals which live only in Arctic
temperatures

is difficult for us to imagine this fertile land q
snow-covered wilderness. But the event needs no
miracle. All that is necessary, according to Pro
fessor Dove, is the occurrence of the following
conditions: -:
First the diversion Of the Gulf Stream from its
present course, which could be brought about by
the formation of volcanic island or the linking
up of Cuba with Florida
Secondly, the depression of Northern and West
ern Europe by 500 feet This would let in cold
current from the north which would freeze the
country solid. sa
If these things happened, Professor Dove says,
the perpetual snow line would be only thousand
feet high, even in Western ireland, and glaciers
would reach to the sea. ~
1t seems big order, but it is really nero

The doctor says regarding the new treatment:
THAT the absolute cures yet recorded are few
is serious impeachment of its value, for, as
an experienced doctor remarked to me, patients
are SO afraid of being told that their symptoms
are cancer that they often delay seeking medical
advice until they practically past help.
Further, the violet treatment is mild and slow
in action, and in all recorded cases cure has re-
suited from its unremitting and continued use.
Not only do patients try it in a fitful and half
hearted manner, but they seldom resort to it
to even that extent until every other resource
has failed them, and they are almost in extremis.
Moreover the local symptoms of cancer do
not appear until the morbid causes of which they
are the index have reached such serious stage
that it is difficult to arrest them and bring the
constitution back into healthy orbit
POSSIBILITIES OF THE TREATMENT.
"If then. the violet leaf treatment can effect
so much in the relief and cure of cancer under
the unfavorabe and irregular conditions above
described it is legitimate to infer that under re-
verse conditions such its regular and persist
ent use in the earliest stages of the disease COM
bned with all other collateral means that aid
recovery, the results obtanabe would be such
as to surprise the most skeptical.

ton and experience, those OF mild deobstru-
ent, discutent and resolvent, unloading the glands
and gently relaxing the entire system. II has
also the effect of moistening the skin and promot-
ing flow of saliva. A tendency to sleep some-
times experienced after taking it seems due not
to any directly sedative action which it exerts,
but to be the Indirect result of relief Of the sys-
TEN from functional tension.
"Its action when applied to the skin is highly
