Idiots With Perfect Success. A
Mans Bad Temper Cured.
A great many alienists and Grim
inologists are now of the firm opin-
ion that incorrigibility and crime are
diseases caused either by restricted
brain development or physical cere-
bral disturbances. Malformations of
the skull mark the degenerate, the
idiot, the imbecile and the average
lunatic. Blows on the head, as has
been we'll established, have frequent
ly caused radical changes in temper
ament, Transforming the orderly and
peaceable person into a maniac of
homicidal or suicidal tendencies.
Where the brain may not develop
normally, or where it has been inn
pinged upon by bone or blood clot
from heavy impact on the skull, it
is pretty certain that more or less
violent mental disturbances will fol-
low. With perfect freedom for the
brain to grow, or to perform its func-
lions after full growth, the individ-
ual as a rule remains normal and
good citizen.
During several years past scient-
lists have given considerable atten-
ton to the relief OF mental crochets

ertheless marvellous reclamations
have been made by means of the
scalpel and the terpine of persons
who a quarter of a century ago
would have been regarded as hope
lessly crazy or hopelessly criminal.
In Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland
and Toledo within the past few
months brain surgery for the relief
of mental disorders and criminal in
clinatiOns has been resorted to with
the most satisfactory results. Only
week or so ago a man of the name
of Eichler was operated on in Cleve-
land, at his own request Two years
ago he sustained heavy blow on
the head. Later he developed an
ungovernable temper and the desire
to kill Realizing his condition he
placed himself in the hands of sur
geons. They found his brain de-
pressed by a blood clot and piece
of bone, which they removed. Upon
his recovery the man was even-tem-

NAL.
DR.. Donnelly of Toledo, who has
performed a number of operations
on incorrigible and idiotic children
with good results, is leading a move
ment to induce the state of Ohio to
adopt, at least temporarily, the prac-
tice of surgery on criminals. He be-
lieves that it will be for the bene-
fit of the state as we'll as the sub
jects of the operations since, if in
corrigibles and criminals can be
cured, the cost to the taxpayers will
be reduced, society will be safe
guarded and valuable citizens will be
restored to their communities The
idea is one considerably in advance
of the times, but the day may be at
hand when the criminally inclined
and the insane will be sent to the
surgeon instead of the Jail and the
asylum.

tablish this very important fact.
Thousands of people have been con-
demned to undergo surgical operations.
Their physicians have told them that
they must either submit to such opera
tons or lose their lives.
After this they have resorted to
Peruna and found relief.
Other good remedies have accom-
plished the same result, but it is safe to
assume that no other remedy has
equaled Peruna in its beneficent work.
Many of the alleged incurable de-
rangements of the pelvis are dependent
upon catarrh.
There is no cure for these except the
removal of the catarrh.
Peruna seemingly works miracles in
some of these cases. The explanation,
however, is very simple. Peruna re-
moves the catarrh and Nature does the
rest.

It requires a government label as a passport for all meat products which enter interstate commerce and in addl- tion to this label, certificate of puri- ty to the carrier and to the secretary of agriculture for all such products which enter foreign commerce. To se- cure this label the product must be handled in accordance with sanitary regulations to these prescribed by the secretary of agriculture, which is au- thorized to employ, without regard to the civil service law, for the first year, an adequate corps of efficient dnspec- tors to supervise the enforcement ot his regulations.
 It prohibits the use of preservatives br chemicals in the preparation oi meat foods which are deleterious tt health and leaves the matter of deter. mining this question to the secretary oi agriculture The label on the produc is to indicate the ingredients, but tn, date of manufacture Is not required t be stated.
 The sanitary requirements which tn secretary is to prescribe and enforce must insure complete sanitation as tt all buildings used as slaughter house. pr canning establishments.
 There are many penalty clauses at tached to violations of all these pro visions.

 He believed he would be well within the mark in saying that 100000 lives are sacrificed yearly through neglect carelessness and ignorance.
 Drinking among women, MT. Burns further declared, was one of the most serious tragedies which confronted Great Britain. This was daily increas- ing the mortality of infants under five years of age and constituted nationa, reproach demanding immediate atten tion.
