his body red spot and treated Sama
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to get

doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse ii became. Dur,

be cracked, inhamed, and badly swol..

When think of his suffering, 1t nearly
breaks my heart. His screams could
be heard downstairs. The suffering
of my son made me full of misery. L
had no ambition to work. to eat. nor

my sons eczema was incurabIe, and
gave it up for a bad job. One evening;

MEMORIES PLAY TRICKS.
How the Oriental Priests Drill Theil
Students.

How the oriental Priests DTIl 1helI
Students.
Most persons have rctcntivc memories
for faces and far less for the names that
designate the faces. Probably this is
due to the artifciality Of names; their
total lack Of relation TO the face: their
mere unrelated arbitrarinpss. No two
Smiths look alike, and there are millions
Of Smiths. We readily remember and
identify Smiths features, but his name
has slipped off the memory. Anyhow,
whatever the psychologist cause, the fact
remains, often to the annoyance, some
times to the modification, Of the forget
ful one and the chagrin of the forgotten
one 1T is very embarrassing to have
forgotten Il name at a moment when an
introduction is essential to good man
ncrs, and there is a sense of humiliation
in being obliged to ask the name and
apologize for forgetting it.
While some fortunate persons are en-
dowcd with Il memory that retains faces
and names and the relation OF one to
the other, any memory can be trained by
a simple process into retcntivcneSs and
Identification. 1t involves nothing more
than an application of the method by
which Oriental priests drill their pupils
~ mcm0rIZIng those parts of their ritz
ais which are not committed to Wrtlf :
The first word OF a sentence is re
pcatcd four times hy the class: then the

tcncc One with that defect of memory,
thrust suddenly into political work, NOR
tilted by his inability to recall names,
sensible of the detrimpnt in his work
caused by il, bethought himself of the
Buddhistic method. and, when intro
duced mentally repeated several times
during the talk the visitors name, asso-
ciating III with his face and residence
His experience justified the method. The
process fastened the name, face and resi-
dcnce so firmly in memory that after an
interval of years he found no difficulty
in saluting his chance caller by name, a
recognition that carried with it, as the
secretary says, mild but effective fiat
terry. We pass this along to other young
men who are troubled with memories TO
which names do not stick readily.

Never Operated for Appendicitis.
DR.. Mayham was probably one of the
few physicians who would never operate
upon Il patient suffering with appendI-
citis. He was probably the only doctor
who ever declared that tho vermltorm
process is necessary TO the lntcStlneS
and that the appendix has it's uses as
we'll as any other organ.
1t has been generally believed that all
doctors had agreed upon the uSelesSneSS
of the appendix. DR.. Mayham, however,
differed with the rest. although he never
made public his opinion. He cOnhd@d to
many OF his patients that he would
never perform an operation to relieve
severe case of appendicitis.
"On Can" of the System.
The appendix" he declared, is the
little oil can Of the human system. 1t
has it's own work to do, the same as any
other organ. The moment the appendix
is severed from the inteStincS, the syS-
TEN will be weakened"
DIR. Mayham would close his tip
with the statement that the majority of
those who have undergone operations for
appendicitis will not live more than If
teen years. During the last few years OF
his life DIR. Mayham did not devote any
of his time to surgery. He was one of
the best known physicians in the state,
and cured many appendicitis patients
without rpSOrting to surgery.
