Forgive me for arousing such pain

we must know where we stand"
Old Andy signified that he heard
and appreciated The strain of this
long recital had come mighty near to
parting his mortal coil then and there,
and he lay as one indeed very near to
death. Mr.. Carboy waited few min
utes--he was not yet done with his

MUSIC AND HEALTH

Every generation marvels at the
progress it is making and looks back
on the immediate past with pity min
gled with contempt, and yet a little
antiquarian research sometimes proves
humiliating to the man who believes
everything worth while was first
thought of in his lifetime.
For instance, we have heard much
recently of the healing power of mu-
sic, how certain harmones will slim
ulate healing processes and all that
sort of thing, and all the world is in
clined to pat surgery on the back and
heap praise upon the age of scientific
maryels.
An official of the Bath corporation in
England recently discovered a record
dated 1904 stating that the physicians
of the town had requested that the
band be allowed to perform in the
pump room for the following reasons:
THAT the least stroke imaginable
upon any musical instrument has such
an effect on the human body as to
move its component machinulae in all
their parts, giving the fibers of the
whole body more or less, according to
their degrees Of tension, correspondent
conclusions; and consequently, the
spirits are not only raised, or made
fine, but the other animal fluids are
also briskly agitated, and their prefer
| natural cohesions and viscidities de-
stroyed."
The physiology Of the two-century-
+ old record, brought to light within the
last week or SO, may not be compat-
ibe with modern theories, but it goes
| to show that the general principle OF
the value Of music in medicine was ap-
preciated in an age which our sur
| geons, struggling with the same prob
lens, would say was absurdly benight-
| ed and crude.

THE USE OF GLASSES

There seems to prevail among peo-
pie, spectacle-wearing people in par
ticular, the notion that when once
glasses are put on they will have to
be used always. This idea is generally
accepted as a fact for the reason that
among our acquaintances we all know
many who since they began wearing
glasses are never seen without them.
1t is easy to see why people have
come to this conclusion, yet as a stu
dent and observer along this line 1
must say in this case public opinion
is wrong.
We all believe in mot putting off
till tomorrow what we can do today"
but we except any eye trouble. 1t is
not only put off till tomorrow, but
many a day thereafter Finally
glasses are secured, but the eye de-
fectS have become greater, the mus
cles and recuperative powers have
weakened and then the glasses must
always be worn, becoming almost a
part of ones self. Had the proper
lenses been placed before those eyes
at the first appearance of trouble and
given nature q chance to rebuild, the
use of glasses would not have been
permanent.
The average human eye is not
adapted to work hour after hour, day
after day, at close range. The strain
on the delicate focusing and converg-
ing muscles is too great and either in
jury to the eyes or impaired bodily
health, as a reflex disturbance, will
result. Often in school children this
strain causes the eyeball to become
mis-shapen and near-sight results.
The use of glasses. whether by
young or old, when there is an excess
of near work to be done, not only pre-
serves the eyes but prevents nerve ex-
haustion.
Few eyes are perfect. Most imper-
feet eyes are benefited and made to
do a normal amount of work comfort
ably by wearing glasses. When needed
if one delays their use. through fear
of having to wear them permanently,
the faster is he nearing and creating
the condition he wishes to avoid.

SCIENCE NOW PURIFIESI
WATER BY ELECTRICITY

The ozonization of water by means OF
electricity in order to obtain a pure
supply is advocated by the Medical
Record in an article, which says:
Certainly one of the chief aims OF
sanitary science is to procure pure
water supply. 1t must be remembered
that water is largely responsible Tor
epidemics OF typhoid fever and of
cholera, to mention the two most seri-
Gus water-borne diseases. Sand FL
tration, and especially slow sand filtra-
tion, has done much to check the
spread of typhoid fever, but, after all,
filtration of every kind has it's limits;
it is filtration, and not sterilization.
Recently n method of purifying
water has come to the front which, per-
haps, up to the present time, has not
been used on a sufficiently large scale,
nor for long enough period of time
to justify any very decided assertions
as to its merits. The ozonization of
water by means of electricity as a ster-
ilizing agent Is the method to which
reference is made.
AT the suburb of st. Maur, Paris,
where from the River Marine is drawn
a goodly portion of the Paris water
supply, an ozonizatlon plant has been
working for some little time. The
Marine is highly polluted with sewage,
and a preliminary clar1ncat1on or the
water through beds of sand and gravel
is necessary before the ozoning process
is commenced. So we'll satisfied are
the Partisan engineers with the re-
suit of the ozonization method of
purifying water that 1t is stated that
an ozone publication plant is to be in
stalled at Paris to treat 24,000,000 gall
Ions a day.
Some of the advantages of ozoniza-
tion are obvious. The method sterilizes
effectively and frees water from objec-
tionable colors. That it does this is
sufficient to recommend its use in all
large cities. 1t is an open question, as
Rideal said recently in reference to the
ineffectiveness of filter systems in pre-
venting typhoid fever, whether it is not
advisable that these methods should be
supplemented by a process Of steri iza-
ton. There is no doubt that filtration
has been tried and has been found
wanting in many respects.
"Ozonization of water by electricity
may not be the best method, but 1t
would seem that 1t is at least one which
in the future will have to be consid-

BATTLE OF BACTERIA

One of the most interesting and In
structive cinematograph shows ever
witnessed, in the shape Of a fierce bat
tie between an army of phagocytes and
several million spirochaeta, was given
in London the other evening by DR.. c.
Ievaditi of the Pasteur institute, Paris,
before the Royal Institute of Public
Health.
The phagocytes, which are the de-
tenders of the human body, were seen
In the moving pictures, fighting against
the spirochaeta, which are the bacteria
of a malignant disease. These cine
lnatograph films, which are said to be
among the most marvellous ever shown,
illustrated the bacterial warfare which
takes place inside the human body and
excitement was added to the contest
owing to the fact that the audience
knew that victory for the spirochaeta
meant death to the human victim.
PRESS PHAGOCYTES HARD
In the first few pictures the phago-
cytes had rather a bad time of it In
their battle with the invaders, and,
like q general commanding his
forces, DR.. Levaditi cried: "See! They
weaken!"
Following with his pointer the COM
weird creatures cenjured up in a night
mare. Again. still more tragically as a
phagocyte fell, outnumbered before
force of horrid shaped bacteria, he
cried: "See! 1t is dead!"
The defenders, however, puc up a
great fight. Dead spirochaeta lay all
around them but still the phagocytes
were being gradually outnumbered
and crushed till there were signs of
reinforcements. The doctor had come
to their aid.
SPIROCHAETA ARE BEATEN
In the moment of victory the spir-
ochatea received check. With their
vast numbers and the variety Of their
attack-such as sharp, fang-like teeth,
pincers and pointed, dagger-shaped
tongues-they We're too much for the
phagocytes alone, but with the arrival
of medical air to stimulate the guard
ians of the patients body, they were
demolished. Slowly at first the wrig-
Cling things wriggled less. They grew
tired, they weakened, they strove in
vain to release themselves from the
grip of the reviving phagocytes, they
died.
This is the sort of fight which is
going on daily" explained DR.. Leva-
diti, "in the bodies of human beings,
the fierceness of the fight depending on
the malignity of the opposing bacteria.
From a cold in the head upward the
various human ailments entail a fight
by the phagocytes in defense of their
home, and the problem of the doctor is
to discover the best food for the health
of the soldier, according to the nature
of the battle it has to wage"
