CONQUER A DISEASE
Decay of the Spine Has Been
Overcome at Last.

NEW YORK, Sept POTTS dis
ease, or decay of the spine, which
makes its victims hunchbacked, has
been conquered at last, il is confident
ly believed. Within the next few days
five patients, three boys and two girls,
ranging from 6 to years, will be TAX
en- back TO their homes from the Sea
Breeze hospital. Coney Island, we'll on
the way to recovery, if not completely
cured.
The children have been patients in
the hospital for about fourteen months
and for the last few months have been
playing in the sand and bathing in
the salt water just like other younf-
sters
The patients were treated for tuber-
culosis of the spine in a way different
from that in use before. The opera
tons were performed by DR.. Freder-
lex H. Albee of 125 West Fifty Eighth
street, Manhattan, who is on the staff
of the Roosevelt, POSTGRADUATE and
Bellevue hospitals.
DR.. Albee has done away with the
use of the plaster of paris cast. In
stead of inserting a piece of metal in
the place from which broken pieces of
vertebrae are removed he gratis there
bit of the patients shin-bone. After
the operation the patient is confined
TO bed for five or six weeks. during
which time the splinter knits firmly

The Snake Stone.


In most accounts of snake charming
I'm India the snake stone plays an inn
portant part When the charmer is bit
ten the stone is applied to the bite and
is supposed TO aid in his recovery.
Writing in the London Field, Lieuten-
ant L. Mackenzie gives some notes on
two OF these stones. which he had the
opportunity OF seeing. They were tri-
angular in shape, fat and rounded.
with smooth polished black surfaces
They are said TO come from the hills of
Tibet and to be the solidified saliva Of
the markhor. This animal Is spoken
of in Lieutenant Mackenzie's note as
the Persian snake eater" Its saliva
is thought to contain an antidote to
snake poison. The markhor is spe-
cies of wild goat found in India, Tibet
and Kashmir.

In most umbrella factories the task
OF turning out ribs and stems is left
to other factories making a speciality
of those parts These are sent to the
manufacturer. and the man whose
work it is to assemble the parts inserts
a bit OF wire into the small holes at

the ferrule.
