CHANGING MEDICAL METHODS.
Our Advance in Disease Prevention
Has Been Sure but Slow.

Our Advance in Disease Prevention
Has Been Sure but Slow.
From the London Post.
DR.. D. 8. Davies, medical officer Of health
for Bristol, lecturer on hygiene at Bristol
University, and now president of the So
ciety of Medical Ofiicers Of Health, said,
in his presidential address to the members
of the society the other evening, that the
conception of disease prevention as gen.
eral formula had undergone much modffi-
cation under the teachings Of incomplete
success. but the disappointment which
awaited each generalization In turn had
made for progress in directing attention to
the variations in the life history of the dis
eases classed together as communicable. It
was now realized that only by close study
of these varia lions could measures suitable
for the effective checking Of each disease
be devised The conception which early fol-
lowed the discovery Of the specific patho-
genie bacteria that they entered, permeated
and then passed out of the body. like an
orderly army without straggfers, was found
in many instances to be far from the truth.
Had it been generally true the emcacy
of isolation hospitals would have been COM
piete and the control OF infectious fevers
would have proved an almost crudely SIM
pie matter. Diphtheria was more or less
prevalent in all large towns. but the Pc
RODS Of fatal prevalence required. not after
the manner Of measles. In tidal waves, at
fairly constant and. somewhat short inter-
walls. but at long and uncertain intervals.
after prolonged periods Of comparative. and
often remarkable. quiescence. During the
first months Of an - outbreak hospitals
might prove Of far greater service In pre-
venting than later, in conjunction. Of course
with meteorological means to combat the
insidious diffusion of Understandable infec-
lions which were all the time being set up
far and wide. There was no antagonism
between scarlet fever. measles and diph-
iberia; il anything. one -predisposed to the
other. The largest number of mixed in
fections were of diphtheria and scarlet
fever. School examinations Of contacts in
infected classes was q more rational pro-
cedure in urban communities than mere
school exclusion without such examination.
and IL there was q sufficient staff available
to carry this out promptly and thoroughly
there was little continuance of risk to the
scholars. but 1t must never be forgotten
that there might be home contacts to be
fought for and dealt with also.

A True Bore.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler. the president OF
the University of California. talked CT Il
dinner In San Francisco about bores.
Your true bore" he said. must always
preface his remarks with some lengthy dis
sertation. preferably of an historical ma
ture.
Thus there was once a bore who pre-
sided at banquet When he rose to be-

thought hazily that he would say some
thing appropriate and wise about food So

Liquor Men to Pay Piper.
1t looks like the liquor interests will have

license was showed up from $3.50 to $500
year and now the program is to shove 1t

Needless to say that every sheriff, county
clerk and other officer who expects to sue

Judge Evans surprised his constituents

BITE OF A a1LA MONSTER.
Instances to Prove That This Lizard
is Venomous


From the Scientific American.
In recent issue of the Scientific Amer.
lean an article appeared written by D. AL.
len Wiley describing and illustrating the
ella monster. The statement was made In
the article that scientists had questioned
whether its bite was fatally poisonous, as
has been supposed. Mr. W. C. Barnes OF
Las Vegas, N. NJ. claims to know of two
cases, in one of which death resulted Mr..
Barnes writes as follows:
1.-THE first man was in Tombstone, Ariz
The ella was tied by the leg in saloon as
curio, and a drunken gambler named
Brown was teasing 1t. He carelessiy stuck
his first two fingers into its mouth, which
Immediately closed down ON them and could
not be released until the reptiles head was
cut off and the jaws cut apart. Brown suf-
fered horrible agony for almost two days,
and in spite of all efforts he died.
"The second case was in the fall of 1880.
Walter Vail started from the Empire
ranch. near Benson. Ariz. to ride into town
on horseback, some fifteen miles. A short
distance from the ranch monster was
sluggishly dragging its way across the
road. Thinking to take 1t in for q friend,
he got down and killed it-or at least he
thought he killed it. To carry 1t easily he
tied 1t on his saddle behind him, using his
saddle strings for the purpose. AS he loped

hadn't dropped of by reaching around be-
hind him with his right hand and feeling
for the monster.
1T was there. and not nearly as dead as
he thought His first finger went into the
reptiles mouth clear to the knuckle, and
instantly those jaws with the long, sharp
dagger-like teeth closed on Walls finger.
With his left hand he managed to get his
knife out and cut the saddle strings, and
then had to dissect the head and Jaws to
get his finger from their grip.
Vail then spurred his horse into Benson
and found an engine In the yards. A hasty
exchange of kilograms with the division SUI
perintendent and Tucson took place and in
a few moments he was on the engine and
racing over the read for Tucson, where an
eminent surgeon resided at that time. Vail
lay at deaths door for two months, and
that finger today Is useless and shriveled
up from the effect Of the bite"

Longing for Country Life.

A strange thing is the universal longing
of professional men and others who have
come to the city and have prospcred as
they advance In life to get back to the
country. 1t is seldom that they do return.
and when they do there Is often disap-
pointment and things do not appear as
they did long ago. The change is I'm the
man himself, but he thinks II Is In the
country. Nevertheless, the desire to get
back to the old country place to end ones
