In presenting this book to the
public, we fully appreciate the vast
amount of service and real benefit
a practical collection of formulas
will be to any family. The sole
object, therefore, is to make the
book practical and useful, and to
have il contain only such remedies
as will be constantly needed in ev-
cry home.
Notwithstanding the great NUM-
ber of medical books that cover the
country and the vast expense OF
producing some of them, we fail to
find single one that is practical
for unprofessionable people to use
They attempt to supplant the
physician by devoting their many
pages to complicated diseases which
no family should think OF treating
and give but little attention 20 REM
edies for simple troubles that are
continually needed, and which
could be intelligently used by the
public.
In consideration of the above,
great care has been used TO place
no formula in this collection but
what may be of practical value to
the ordinary or unprofessional per-
son, and each formula has been
worked on so diligently and care
fully that they are sent forth on
their own merits, with the belief
they will receive that high nppre-
ciation from the public which their
real value and usefulness so richly
deserve.
We have made arrangements for
a number of these books, which en-
ables us TO present, free OF charge
TO our friends, one of the most use.
full collections of formulas we have
ever seen.
In this book nothing Is given for
any serious troubles, because the
unprofessional person is not capa-
BILE of diagnosing or treating any
thing complicated, and such trou-
bles should in all cases be referred
to a physician. No formula, there
fore, contained herein is for a per-
son to Use internally, and not a.
dose Of medicine Is given for you to
take. They are such as may he
used with benefit and will be need
ed, perhaps, fifty times to where
you require a prescription for Sc
rious troubles once.
We keep one OF these books COM
plete on our prescription case, and
when You desire a formula filled,
bring its number only.
The book described above con-
tains one hundred aud sixty.eight
formulas, aud our scheme is TO give
them away, but the giving away
cannot be done indiscTiminately as
our purpose is to place one in each
home in ST. Johns, and at the same
time TO get you started in using the
the recipes; so we will require You
to get a recipe filed at the time You
receive the book. Each week we
will publish two sample formulas,
any one of which you may bring to-
us at any time and have filled and
receive book free.

Do You Wear One?

There is nothing more likely to make
person feel like freak than to live in
this day and age and wear an appendix.
Nobody that is anybody has one now
adays and infants are hardly allowed
to pass the teething age before they are
cut over according TO the latest finite
theory with regard to the construction
of the human body. IL someone is
discovered TO cling still to such USE
less organ acquaintance exclaim in
surprise. "Why haven't you had that
out yetW in much the same tone they
might ask if one thought hoop skirts
and Shaker bonnets were still in the
height of fashion.
Though tremendously the rage, TO be
sure, appendicitis is not so new fad
after all, for the Journal of the Medical
Association states that the ancient
Egyptians had it, as fibroid adhesions
around the appendix in mummies
abundantly testify.

Baltimore, Md.-An apparatus IL

on the paper In the same measure as
the current went out from the heart,
as shown In the accompanying Illus
tration.
II is known that an imaginary line
through the body has on one side all
the currents generated by one side of
the heart, and on the other side the
currents generated by the opposite
side. so that by connecting an cleo
trode to each side of the body, obliter.
ating all other currents of the body by
placing them as nearly as possible at
rest, the physician has the current of
the heart where he can measure and
examine It.
The patient is put at rest, one cleo.
trode is fastened TO his arm, and one

to the opposite leg and the current
generated by the movement OF the
heart of the patient is conducted to
a quartz wire suspended in a magnetic
field, which is DETECTED according to
the amount of current flowing through
It.
An arc light is thrown through a
condensing microscope upon the NOV
ing wire. the shadow from which Is
thrown through another microscope,
which magnifes II 600 times and
throws the shadow through slit at
right angles to the position of the
wire upon a screen. Back OF the
screen is camera with rotating
Aim, which takes record picture of
the movement on the point made by
the intersection of the slit with the
shadow of the wire.
This picture is compared with pic
lures of perfectly normal heart cur
rents, and by this method the physi-
clans are often able to determine the
nature Of the patients affiiction.
