The case first was tried in the sec

February, and after working over
verdict two days the jury reported
that it was hopelessly hung, and was
discharged. At that time the jury is
said to have stood, for the defense

amount of damages. The present case

With the present verdict answers to
70 special questions were returned,

Zunt SdIIy'S ADVICE
to Beauty Seekers

Red Nose. The nose is a more deli
cate organ than most people imagine
1t should be touched as little as pos
sible. For undue redness the treat
ment recommended in following par
agraph will be found effective. Apply
without rubbing.
Muddy Skin. The sanest, safest and
surest method of giving a clear.
healthy, transparent appearance to the
complexion is to apply ordinary mer-
colized wax every night for from one
to two weeks. This wax, obtainable
at any drug store Gone ounce is sufh-
cient), actually takes off a bad com
plexion by gently and gradually alb
sorbing the thin veil of surface skin.
The new skin then in evidence is as
fresh and velvety as a young girls
The wax is applied like cold cream

DR.. Charles 0 Probst. formerly state
health officer of Ohio. Columbus, Ohio.
He said, in part: The eradication Of
tuberculosis means systematized meth
DDS. long continued and intelligently
directed. Effective work, therefore, in
the prevention of this disease requires
the active support of national, state
and municipal governments. 1t would
seem wise that there should be official
control of tuberculosis in the sense of
directing, systematizing and co-ordin-
ating the work done in its prevention.
Its eradication should be considered a
governmental problem Generous ap-
preparations should be made to this
lend by the nation. and by every state
and large municipality.
Naturally the control of such funds
would be by officials of hese respective
divisions of government and, logically.
this would mean the health officials.
Observation compels me. however, to
say this this would mean at present,
in many cases, placing money and au-
thortty In incompetent hands. It is
just here that perhaps the greatest
good will come from having intelligent
laymen enlisted in the battle against
tuberculosis. Their association with
health officials in this work will show
them the weak spots in our present Of
fetal health system. and may lead, up
on their demand. to the placing of all
health protective measures in the
hands of specially trained funds, so
that we shall receive the greatest pos
sible protection from tuberculosis as
we'll as from all other preventable dis
cases.
The interested lay worker in tuber-
culosis is one of our most powerful
forces in tine prevention of disease.
Many of the necessary reforms in pub
lie health work can be reached only by
legislation and governmental control.
The active lay workers in tuberculosis
have been taught to see clearly the ne
cessity for radical changes in living
conditions and. when united, they can
force legislative measures that health
officials alone could not obtain. The
layman's fight against tuberculosis

fcials to control unnecessary disease
in all its forms. and to work along
much higher planes in health protec-
ton.
The subject. THE Physician in the
Campaign" was dis
cussed in a paper read by DR.. James
Alexander Miller. medical director Of
the tuberculosis division of Bellevue
hospital. New York. DR.. Miller said,
in part:
The practice of medicine is at the
present time in stage of transition.
An enlightened laity now knows that
medicine is not an exact science, and
that human ignorance and human
failings are quite as general among
physicians as they are among other
mon. Modern scientific medicine has
discarded many cherished theories and
IS developing new practice of medi-
cine which consists largely of efforts
for the prevention of disease and in
addition modern system of thera-
peutics founded as far as possible up
on a basis Of scientific investigation.
The physician is assuming the role Of
guide and Interpreter of certain natur-
al phenomena Of vital interest to every
individual and works with his patient
no longer by dictation. but through CO.
operation and mutual understanding.
lations between physicians and the
community as a whole, so that no
longer the health of each individual
can be considered simply a matter Of
personal concern. but is quite as much
one OF public interest and responsible
ty.
In all of this change the campaign
against tuberculosis has led the way,
and in the necessary readjustments it
must continue to do SO. Physicians in
the various phases of their work,
whether in private or in hospital prac-
tice. in the research laboratories, as
public health officers or as members of
voluntary civic orga ganizations. have re-
marka BILE opportunities to mould pub
lie opinion in matters Of health, along
sound and scientific lines.
An appreciation of the changed con-
ditions confronting physicians in these
various activities. especially, as they
are considered in relation to a great
like that against tubercu-
losis. cannot fail but indicate the
splendid opportunity for efficient citi-
zenship which today lies pen before
the medical profession. In the past
we have been very busy each with his
own work. which. to be sure. Is most
exacting and engrossing. but the me-
morable traditions of our profession
broaden our horizon and meet these
new and brilliant opportunities to
serve the commonwealth. Thus may
we hope to fulfil our full responsibility
both as physicians and as citizens.
