DISEASES AND THEIR ODORS.
Curious Facts In Regard to the Nose
in Diagnosis.

The acuteness of the sense CT
smell is far greater in many CT the
lower animals-dogs, for example
than in man, and they employ IT in
guiding them to their food in warn
ing them of approaching danger and
for other purposes. The sphere OF
the susceptibility to various odors is
more uniform and extended in man,
and the sense of smell is capable of
great cultivation. Like the other
special senses, it may be cultivated
by attention and practice. Experts
can discriminate qualities of wines,
liquors, drugs, etc. Diseases have
their characteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many
different asylums for the insane rec
ognize the same familiar odor of the
insane. 1t is not insane asylums
alone, but prisons, jails, warehouses;.
armies in camp, churches, schools
and nearly every household, that
have characteristic odors. 1t is when
diers are aggregated in large groups
or battalions that their Characters
tic odor is recognized. Most diseases
have their characteristic odors, and
by the exercise of the sense of smell
they could be utilized in different
diagnoses.
For example, favus has a mousy
odor, rheumatism has a copious sour
smelling, acid sweat. A person af-
flicted with pyaemia has sweet,
nauseating breath. The rank, un-
bearable odor of pus from the middle
ear tells the tale of the decay of os-
seous tissue. In scurvy the odor Is
putrid, in chronic peritonitis musky,
in scrofula like stale beer, in inter
mittent fever like fresh-baked brown
bread, in fever ammoniacal, In hys-
terra like violets or pineapple. Meas
les, diphtheria, typhoid fever, epilep-
sy. phthisis, etc, have characteristic
odors.

THE COLUMBIAN.

What splendid type of tireless ac-
tivity is the sun as the psalmist de-
scrlbes it issuing like "a bridegroom
from his chamber and rejoicing like a
strong man torun a race" Every man
ought to rise in the morning refreshed
by slumber and renewed 10y rest, eager
for Il e struggle of the day. But how
rarely this Is so. Most people rise still
unrefreshed. and dreading the strain of
the days labors. The cause of this is
deficient vitality and behind this lies
deficient supply of pure rich blood, and
an inadequate nourishment of the
body. There is nothing that will give
man strength and energy, as will DIR.

does this by increasing the quantity
and the quality Of the blood supply.
This nourishes the nerves, feeds the
brain, builds up enfeebled organs, and
gives that sense of strength and power
which makes the struggle of life a joy.

Pa1uan Medicine Mems Methods.

Paquan medicine men are regard
ed with great respect by the natives.
Those | have met certainly seemed
energetic and hard working. They
sit close to the patient, massaging
the seat of painwith much vigor, and
while they are thus rubbing make a
noise with their lips rather like that
which a groom makes when rubbing
down horse.
The process is tiring one, and the
medicine man stops at intervals to
drink hot water in which taro has
been boiled. His object is to extract
some mysterious foreign substance
from the sick mans body, and if he
succeeds in this he receives a fee,
otherwise he gets nothing. mo
cure, no pay" is apparently the Pa
quan's motto.

An attempt is being made to
modify the foul strike rule in the
major leagues. Ever since the rule
has been in existence it has caused
more discussion than probably any
new rule introduced in years. George
l.. Moreland of Pittsburg worked
out a plan which has many COM
mendable features.
The plan suggested by Mr.. More
land is to run two white lines paral-
lei with the foul lines, starting from
first and third bases, respectively.

Hardly Encouraging.

John ID. Rockefeller, conversing
amiably with reporter, drove home
q reIarA on inefficiency with a golf
story.
Ihere was man." he said, "who
had no success at golf at all. The
more he played, it seemed, the poorer
he became. One day his work was
particularly bad.
Dear, dear he said to his caddy
as he looked ruefully at a deep hole
In the turf that he had just made with
MS iron, dear, dear. there can't be
worse players tnan myself
WELL said the caddy, reflective
iy' maybe theirs worse players, bu,
they don't play"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-04-29

He suggests that any ball that is hit
on line in the space between the
old foul line and the proposed new
one be called a dead ball, neither a
strike nor foul be called. The
suggestion is intended to assist the
heavy hitters. The umpire is eX-
pected to detect whether a player at
tempts to bunt or not, and should
an attempt be made to bunt and the
ball go foul at any place the batter
should be charged with strike, but
should hard drive go within the
lines the batter should be exempt
from being charged with a strike.
The proposed plan is expected to give
all hard baJters an even chance, pre-
vent disputes, and do away with all
kicking over the foul strike rule be-
ing handicap on the batter.

Patrolman Becker was the etiquette
expert and he said that when a wom-

The Court agreed with Becker that

The patrolman added that he had

that was one reason why he thought

Mrs. SCOTS election was a victory
for the administration faction. A.
number of delegates refused to make

especially for the Office of president
general. Mrs. Mclean remained awake
in her apartments at the New Willard,
where the ballots were being recorded,
until after 4 o'clock this morning.
The delay, it is said resulted chiefly
from the fact that after the two Of
fetal ballots, the administration and
"insurgent" tickets had been declared
a miscount was revealed and the tellers
-thirty-two In all--were up against a
tangle which a faulty system of count
ing found hard to straighten out.
