A curious communication has been
made to the French Academy Of Medi.
cine by DR.. Grimbert, who has fond.
ness for statistics. The doctor has
been making inquiries with view to
finding out whether there Is fashion
in medicine He has discovered that
the old.fashioned medicines, such as
opium. laudanum, iodine and bismuth,
are sold In about the same quantities
as they have always been. The sale
OF leeches has diminished. In 1876 50.-
900 were sold by certain number Of
Chemists shops In Paris. but this year
the same shops sold only 10000. The
and antipyrins sold
80 per cent. less than they used to
and quinine has gone down "a per
cent. As for the newer drugs-pyra.
midon, asperine, etc.-their sale has
increased enormously.

Volcanic Ash Cement,

A recent number OF Nagasaki
(Japan) newspaper describes a ce.
ment made from volcanic ashes. which
is sometimes used alone and some.
times in combination with sand and
portland cement. The ashes are much
cheaper. and are said to be almost
as effective as the cement, while the
two are used together with still great.
er advantage. Dockyards, naval docks,
ETC.. have been constructed from the
ash cement, large quantities have
been exported to Korea, north China,
Shanghai and Formosa and the de-.
mand is rapidly increasing.
