NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case Cured by

Brought to the very verge of starva-
ton by the rejection of all ~nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery Of Mrs. J. A. Wyatt, of No. 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: chad pain in the

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Fa-
miliar to the Public.

The story Of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather
interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers day and while talk
ing, held up a piece of candy. The
pose of the hand with its perfect con-
tour and faultless shape attracted the
attention of the artist, who proposed
to photograph it. The result was a
beautiful picture kept in the family
until one day, after reading a letter
from someone inauiring as to who
wrote the Postum and Grape-Nuts ad-
vertisements, Mr.. Post said to his
wife: I'VE receive SO many in
quiries Of this kind, that 1t is
evident some people are curious 10
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture of your
hand to print and name 1t "A Helping
Hand" (Mrs. Post has assisted him
in preparation of some of the most fa-
nous advertisements.)
There was a natural shrinking from
the publicity, but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture, Its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Glape-Nuts, SO
the picture appeared on the back COW
ers of many of the January and Feb
ruary magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. of the Postum
Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of the
public, by r%efraining from giving the
name OF the owner when the picture
appeared, but stated that the name
would be given later in one of the news
paper announcements, thus seeking to
induce the readers to look for and read
the forthcoming advertisements to learn
the name Of the owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of the
interest the public takes in the personal
and family life of large manufacturers
whose names become household words
through extensive ana continuous an
nouncements in newspapers and period
lcals.

MEDICAL ~BREVITIES,

Women are to be admitted to be-
doctors Of medicine by the University
of Prague, which, however, refuses to
admit them as doctors of philosophy.
At a recent session of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, NJ. Chauffard
stated that In many patients treated
by X-rays for cancer of the tongue, the
growth had become rapidly dissem-
seminated. The academy adopted his
conclusion that medical men alone
should have the right to use X-rays
for treatment.
One of the most important causes of
disease, according to Prof. Macfaydyen
of London is the inhalation Of parti-
Giles Of dust in the streets of cities. He
holds that the dust not only often con-
tains the germs Of disease, but that
1t has a de~letarious effect upon the
respiratory organs, through mechan-
ical irritation.
DR.. Klein, +. r. s., has communicate
ed to the British government the dis
covery that dried tissues of animals
dead Of plague. in which the bacilt
originally present have been killed by
desiccation, nevertheless retain the
power of communicating the disease
to animals into which they are in
tected, and which die with all tho
symptoms Of plague, but without
themselves containing any bacilli.
