TOO NUMEROUS INDIA.

India is probably the only country
in the word which IS ruled too we'll for
its own welfare. There the means Of
support and the need Of support by the
inhabitants are separated by a dan
gerously small margin. The new CEN
sus in India outruns all estimates. 1t
shows a population more than three
times as great as that of tho United
States. And where we have increased
about 100000. india has increased
100000, although our population has
been largely added to by immigration.
while the Indian increase is almost
entirely Of the rabbit type. Before

POISON OF RATTLESNAKE
TO CURE TUBERCULOSIS.
Pr. Joseph 4. Thompson of HyhttsNil!c
Dangerously Ill from Experiments.

Upon the recovery of DR.. Joseph y.
Thompson of Hyattsvllle Md, from Il
dangerous attack of crotalas poisoning
as a result OF medical experiments de-
ponds largely the success of his expert
ments to prove that tuberculosis bacillus
can be cured by the rattlesnake venom
treatment.
In order to make the tests it is nee
cessary that he take frequent quantities
of the rattlesnake venom, which placed
him in great danger. Or. Thompson, de-
string to dip still further into his investi-
cations, began to take larger doses of
the poison and almost Immediately to
feel the i'll effects of the poison in his
system. In course of other experiments
his system became so saturated with
the venom that he was stricken with
crotalas poisoning.
For a while his condition was regarded
as very serious, the saturated condition
of his system leading up to series OF
III effects, including lock jaw, paralysis,
agonizng muscular contractions inciden-
tal to the absorption of rattlesnake vir-
us.
Scientists all over the country have
been deeply interested in the experiments
Of DR. Thompson, and are watching
eagerly for his recovery, that he may re-
sumo them Should he be able to prove
that the deadly disease can be cured by
his modified treatment it would mean a
great step forward in the medical world
