Nothing poina but Talk.

The following is told of federal
Official, formerly a senator OF the
United States from Kentucky:
In the days of his youth the Ken

at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now II was this Kentuckian's duty
10 say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But. although he
faithfully performed this duty. the
duel never took place.
A murmur OF why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story is
told. whereupon the answer is as fol.

SCIENCE OF HEALTH

iieved. for example, that farmers, and
other laborers, who are constantly ex-
posed TO the germ OF tetanus Clock
jaw through cuts or other slight
wounds on the hands, develop a nat
ural anti-toxin which protects them
from the activities of this fell organ
ism. Immunity such as this may come.
In time, for all men. and In this slow
way man may emerge from his death

But this is somewhat utopian view.
The prospects. so far as present knowl-
edge goes, while not utopian. are at
least not discouraging. We cannot
abolish germs by law. We cannot es-
cape contact with germs by public
health measures. We breathe them
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). | would as

job as well as million A few million

the other. We cannot enforce the laws
proposed by some well-meaning II un-
informed sociologists who would pro-
hibit marriage TO all persons not i'm
mune to disease. There Is no imagina-
BILE way by which we can prevent non
immune persons from propagating
their kind; and decent human nature
revolts from the suggestion made by a
teacher OF sociology that all weak in-
fants should be murdered! Scientific
research does not trouble itself with
visionary and impossible schemes such
as these.

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

he had forgotten it on two former oc-
casions. and both days of omission
were Fridays. Why was It? He put
il down TO what he registered in his
mind as Friday Fag-that is, the ac-

In congratulating ourselves on the
wonderful achievements of modern
science it would be well 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 one resplendent example. Let us
take a f1ashlight of the work of Paw
ow-it is pronounced Pavlov, or Paff-
liff-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 di-
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 marvellng at Pawlow,
we begin to marvel at the monstrous
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-I 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 physician
of the good old school-good old Beau
mont, who made observations of the
stomach of one Alexis st. Martin. a
veteran of the War of 1912. by means
OF an unhealed fistula. or hole. in the
wall of the stomach. left by the pass
ing OF bullet. From that time until
Pawlow-wlth 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.
tions, the old beliefs, were wrong. He
did 1t 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 book.
Here are 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

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. Of Postum and
Opened the Eyes Of the Family.

A lady writes from Brooklne, Mass:
"A package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.

that there was no coffee for breakfast

carefully.
1T was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too--for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink 1t freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think 1t
delicious, and / would have a mutiny
on my hands should l omit the be-
loved beverage.
MY husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-

coffee topper. and after much persua-
sion got her TO try Postum.
She was prejudiced against Il at
first. but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use OF coffee have
grown healthy again. and today she is
a new woman, thanks TO Postum"
