CiviIizinq the Indian.

The following is from The Soul of
the Indian" a new book by DR.. Charles
Alexander Eastman, himself an Indian,
from the press Of Houghton Mimin
company:
Long before I ever heard of Christ,
or saw a white man, l had learned
from an untutored woman the essence
OF morality. With the help of dear
nature herself she taught me things
simple but of mighty import. I knew
God. perceived what goodness is. I
saw and loved what is really beautiful.
Civilization has not taught me any
thing better.
A a child I understood how to
give; I have forgotten that grace since
l became civilized. I lived the nat
ural life, whereas I now live the ar
tif1cial. Any pretty pebble was valu-
able to me then; every growing thing
an object of reverence. Now I kwor-
ship with the white man before a
painted landscape whose value is paint
ed n dollars! Thus the Indian is re-
constructed, as the natural rocks are
ground to powder and made into artif-
clal blocks which way be built into
the walls of modern society,""

HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

Il think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on it's head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the R%esolyent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very goou for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" tSigned) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. u L, Boston. !.

The prospects, SO far as present knowl-

constantly and become their hosts in
various other ways. We never know
when we will be invaded by frightful
tetanus, or by pyogenes (the germ of
so-called blood-poisoning). l would as

rheumatism. NV arms and legs were af-
flicted so badly hat I could hardly work,
and 1 could not raise my arms to my
head. The pain was most severe in the
back. however. and I was in perfect tor

or even to secure temporary relief, but
nothing seemed to help me until I was
persuaded by a friend to try DR. Mum

marvelously acting remedy I ever saw,
within a week the pain had most gone
and inside, of a month I considered my

that every person who has rheumatism

Why Friday Is Unlucky.

The other day the writer had a
clue to the reason of Fridays ILL
name for~being unlucky. He had a
task to fulfill that he had performed
with praiseworthy monotony every
day for-well, too many years to be
critically noted, and yesterday he for
got it. When he came to think of it
he had forgotten it on two former &C.
casions, and both days Of omission
were Fridays. Why was it? He put
it down to what he registered in his
mind as Friday Fag-that is, the ac-
cumulated tiredness of a weeks in
dusty. Friday is always the day
when you forgot things-if you do
forget things. 1t is often the one
smirch on a blameless week. That's
why it's unlucky.-London Chronicle.

Discoveries of a Russian Savant

In. congratulating ourselves on the
wonderful achievements of modern
science it would be we'll now and then
to pause and figure the immense
waste of life, wealth, comfort and hap
piness occasioned by the stupidity or
the deliberate greed of men, in spite
of the rapid progress of scientific dis
covery itself.
To illustrate this point let us con-
slider n respondent example. Let us
take a fashlight of the work of Paw
low-it is pronounced Pavlov, or Paff-
lif-the celebrated physiliogist of St.
Petersburg, who, in the dozen years
last past, has discovered more useful
and Illuminating facts about the
stomach, and about the process of d.
gestion in general, than were upturned
by all the investigators before him,
from the ancient Greeks down.
When we study the work of Pawlow
we marvel at the ingenuity of this
wonderful Russian, and when we have
stated ourselves marveling at Pawlow,
we begin to marvel at the monstrous
VI VI III oOC40Iy III U0TIulC-
ting the work of Pawlow and common
medical methods of treating the stom-
ach to exist side by side at one and
the same time.
Thousands of medical DOCTORS do
not say in Europe, but most certainly
in America-are treating the stomach
with the same old drugs, on the same
old theories, that were used by their
predecessors of fifty or sixty years
ago.
In those old days they had a mass of
traditions about the stomach that had
been gathered together by a physician
of the good old school-good old Beau
mont, who made observations of the
stomach Of n Alexis st. Martin, q
veteran Of the Wal Of 1872, by means
of an unhealed fistula, or hole, in the
wall Of the stomach, left by the pass
ing Of a bullet. From that time until
Pawlow-with the possible exception
Of the German Heidenhein-the sci
ence of Europe made no progress in
the study Of the stomach.
Pawlow came and shattered the an
cient traditions. He proved beyond the
possibility Of question that the old no.
tons, the old beliefs, were wrong. He
did it openly before the assembled
faculty" of Europe in the University
Of st. Petersburg; and he published
his results in the journals and in the
form Of a book.
Here are a few of the things which
Pawlow proved, and possibly my read
ers, as well as the average medical
man, will be disposed to question the
reliability of the great Russians work:
Broth, beef tea, bouillons and that
sort of stuff, and soup itself, do not
stimulate the flow of the gastric juice
more strongly than will so much cold
water. Cold waite. will prepare the
stomach for It's meal just as efficient
ly as the finest potage ever brewed by
the genius of French art. It is not a
question of the nourishment one gets
from these broths and soups and ex-

tracts-for there is not a single parti-
Gle OF n~ourishment in a barrel of them.
They act like whisky. They stimulate.
But that is all.
The medical tradition that large
quantities of fuid-water or other
taken at meals "dilutes' the gastric
juice, and therefore interferes with d.
gestion, is absolutely wrong. The
stomach compensates the extra LIQUID
by increasing the flow of the Juice in
sufficient quantity to keep it up to
standard digestive power.
When the stomach is more than O
mally acid, the administration of aka
line solutions-such as soda-produces
no effect. The alkalinity is compen-
stated by increased acidity.
When the gastric juice, on the con-
trary, is not as acid as it should be the
administration of alkaline remedies
on the theory that the stomach will
produce acid to compensate the alkalin-
lty-is in vain again. In a deficiency
OF acid in the stomach-called techni-
cally "hypochloridia" alkaline re-
agents do not increase the flow of the
acid. What a mystery there is here!
Since Beaumonts time it has been
held that the presence in the stomach
of any indigestible body-such as a
blackstone or a silver dollar-wiu pro.
duce a free flow of the gastric Juice.
Pawlow has shown repeatedly that this
ancient belief is wholly wrong. You
can batter the walls Of the stomach
with a peck of gunshot and not pro-
duce one drop of gastric juice. Paw
low did it with sand!
The stomach begins to secrete gas.
trio juice before a morsel of food en-
tiers the mouth. The sight, the smell.
or even the thought of food starts nm
the flow Of the juice. The ancient no.
ton is that the stomach does not. and
cannot, secrete It's juice until stimula-
ted by the presence, in it. of food.
This preliminary secretion Pawlow
calls psychic Juice" It's production
discloses how beautifully the incom-
prehens1bly complex mechanism of
the nervous system rises to meet stu.
ations in advance of their actually.
Pawlow, n his almost too poetic way,
calls 1t the prophetic power of the
organs and tissues Of the body.
And Pawlow has made many impor.
tant discoveries about the work Of df.
gestion other than those recited. What
a pity 1t is that the average practi.
toner of medicine still clings to the
old notions! True. were Pawlow's facts
applied to the practice of medicine.
there would, as a consequence, follow
a severe shortage in the number OF
prescriptions given as well as filed.
The doctor and the druggist must live.
and the half-educated professor IN the
average American medical school can.
not be expected to teach what he can.
not understand. In view of which
there seems to be considerable sound
sense In the reforms suggested in med.
ical education in America by Mr.. Flex.
