ages under certain deep-seated dis

occurred to Prof. Paul Enrich, q lead

certain aniline dyes have a special at

might be possible to combine the prop

trouble, combining its yirulent action
to that area He began with white
mice, tracing the progress Of the in

this fact, he worked on, trying all

THE NEW HEART CURE.

There IL a toad of great size In
South America, the 'bufo aqua" long
known to carry a most deadly, viru-
lent poison In It's head. The poison
gland Is situated just behind the ear,
and the South American Indians for
ages have used the venom OF this
toad to tip the points OF their arrows.
Surely there never was such an age
for medical research and investiga.
ton, heaven and earth and distant
lands being ransacked perpetually
for new remedies. with which to fight
the Ills that flesh Is heir to. From
time out of mind the Chinese have
ground up toads and fed them to the
sick. But Johns Hopkins university
at Baltimore. appears to be the first
OF able schools TO Investigate the cur
alive properties found In the loath-
some toad. II Drs. Abel and Macht
Of that university, are not mistaken
the humble creature carries some
thing In It's head far more precious
than the tabled jewel or gem. They
have just announced to the medical
world their discovery OF q new anu
powerful heart stimulant derived
from the South American ''bufo
aqua" which acts like the familiar
vegetable poison digitalIs. They have
named the new drug ''bufogin," and
report that the satisfactory results
of it, use on animals leads to the be
lief that II will prove Invaluable "a

The encouragement gave an ex-
haustive analysis Of all the anti

Summing up ne said, 1T will be
