MO less parsonage than Emperor Will
M lam of Germany has condemned the
ase of the ordinary cheap enamel ware
in the household, especially for cooking, and
the versatile ruler OF the Teutons apparently
has excellent grounds for this because sclen-
lists have discovered that particles of the
enamel chip off get into the food then into
the intestmes and cause gangrene, appended
It's and other troubles that frequently prove
fatal.
The Italian Government health department
was probably first to recognize this danger
but kaiser William also promptly saw the
danger. and he supports these Italian scien-
lists and health officials and has made public
in his country the declaration that such enam-
eled ware is dangerous.
And the Emperor makes this announcement
in spite Of the fact that nearly ALL or at least
a great portion, Of our enameled ware is made
in Germany IL has oug been known that
euaneled ware was more or less undesirable.
and some few have believed il dangerous,
but not until scientists discovered the exact
dangers was it known just how dangerous il
was Enamel ware, even the very best viii

In the old days leather tanned by the natural

footwear Most of us believe these shoes to be made

about the passage of this remarkable and most aud-
able law in Louisiana claims that between so and 80
per cent of the shoes we buy made up of chem

How the DOCTORS of
BIBLE TIMES Worked

-HE first mention of physicians in the
Bible is when Joseph commands His
- servants the physicians to embalm his
father (Gen. |, y, showing that it was the
duty of the physician in Egypt not only to
heal the living, but also to give the last care
to the body by embalming it. That the He
brews had regular physicians who were paid
for tending their patients is shown by the
law in Exodus, Nj, 10, making it incumbent
upon any one who had injured a person to
cause him to be thoroughly healed 1t was
natural that the early physicians were called
upon chiefly to heal outward wounds, but
later they practised healing of every kind. 1t
is notable also that the early physicians were
associated with or belonged to the priesthood
and that even the prophets practised the
healing art.
Isaiah is using a metaphor which must have
been easily understood when he says. From
the sole Of the foot even unto the head there
is no soundness in it; but wounds and bruises,
and putrefying sores they have not been
closed, neither bound up, neither Modified
with ointment. Us. i, g.
Ezekiel shows that they knew how to care
for fractured arm, for he says: q have
broken the arm of Pharaoh, and 10! it shall
not be bound up to be healed to put roller
to bind it, to make it strong" (Ez. Xxx, 2l9
The proof that the physicians also treated
inward diseases lies in such passages as;
And Asa was diseased in his feet, until his
disease was very great; yet in his disease he
sought not to the Lord but to the physicians"
q Chron. xvi 12.)
