SCIENCE OF HEALTH
Curing the Rest Habit

| ence In the body of some substance
that by its reaction on the nervous sys.
tenn produces the sensation in ques-
ton.
Such, in short. is the plain truth.
Fatigue. or the sense of fatigue. is
caused by the poison, or toxin. of
fatigue. aud this toxin OF fatigue is
produced by the using up Of certain
materials in muscle and nerve and
other tissues of the body, just as
smoke and ashes are produced by the
using up Of fuel with the evolution of
heat
But II the sensation of fatigue is
caused by the presence in the body of
the toxin of fatigue, the body tries to
neutralize this toxin-and actually
does neutralize it-by the production
of an anti-toxin for fatigue. When put
to hard work the body grows tired
after a short time, but presently re-
cuperates, while still at work. A man
gets what we call his second wind" /"
and this second wind" this refresh.
ment Of the body. is due to the quick
production of the anti-toxin in ques-
tion. The body begins to fight this poi
son of fatigue, just as It tries to fight
all substances antagonistic to its per-
feet equilibrium. But push the labor
further, drive the body on continuous
ly in its work, and the toxin of fatigue
is produced In such large quantities
that 1t can no longer be conquered by
its anti. Your man is then dead
tired" and must rest" until the Ia
tigue poison can be thoroughly over
come by the accommodating anti-poison,
or anti-body, IS 1t is technically called.
Our German scientist had all these
well known facts in mind when he set
to work on the experiment by which
he hoped to make an anti-toxin for
fatigue which he could administer arti-
ficially, and thus perhaps cure the rest
habit altogether. The experiment end
It's results are interesting.
Taking a rabbit-one of those plia-
BILE aud uncomplaining tools OF the
laboratory--and placing it In a revolv-
ing cage, he made 1t work continuous
ly until it was perfectly exhausted.

There is positively no limit 20 the fool

ly started on fits way.) Thea the ex-
perimenter drew on from this exhaust
ed rabbit quantity of serum which he
injected into two fresh rabbits. These
fresh rabbits he now placed In revolv-
ing cages. and. as check. or control
experiment. he at the same time
placed two fresh uninjected rabbits in
two other cages. and then put on the
power.
Away went the revolving cages.
Trust q rabbit for doing any desired
quantity of purely Improbable labor!
But our experimenter found precisely
what he was expecting. The injected
rabbits were quickly exhausted, where
as the uninjected ones merrily whirled
their cages. both of them as fresh as
daisy and veritable gluttons for
work.
The first point was proved. Inject
into fresh animal the serum of a
fatigued animal, and the fresh animal
is at once. without stroke Of work,
fatigued In degree that varies with
the size of the dose. But the main OBJ
ject Of the experiment was to produce
an anti-toxin for fatigue: a serum that
would make the rabbits immune to
fatigue. The experimenter by repeat
edly treating fresh animal with in
creasing doses of serum from q
fatigued animal, believed 1t possible
that the body of the treated animal
would react against the poison in such
way that new doses would have no
effect. BY taking the serum of this
now immune animal and injecting 1t
into the body Of another and fresh an
imal, the experimenter hoped to make
this last rabbit immune. and able to
work indefinitely without fatigue!
The results of these latter expert
ments do not seem to have been quite
as satisfactory as were those Of the
former.
While the body OF the injected rab-
bit would react to certain degree
against the injected poison. It would
not react more vigorously than 1t
would to the toxin of fatigue produced
In the ordinary way by labor; at least
the results in the second line Of expert
ments were not what might be called
startlingly encouraging.
And yet 1t is not to be expected that
this patient German viii let his idea
so by default. The secret of success
in all scientific research is q patience
and power Of waiting that are almost
godlike. In these desirable qualities
the German mind excels all others;
and the Germans therefore lead the
world in this kind OF unremunerative
and slavish toll. But II he did not
succeed at one coup IN banishing
fatigue from labor. our German has
made good start. No doubt in time
an anti-toxin for fatigue win be dis
covered. No doubt the Edison Of the
future when he desires to work a week
or two without resting win only be re-
quired to apply at necessary intervals
to the nearest doctor for the injection
of the few hundred units" of the anti
toxin needed, and merrily work away.
Nor is 1t to be imagined that he viii

ditional units viii keep them whistling

French inventors.
But this is not saying that men win
never be able to transfer all traffic
