Nature Of Fatigue.

Recent investigations by DR.. W.
Weichardt, professor at Erlangen uni
versity, have at last elucidated the
nature Of fatigue physical or mentaD
The muscles Of small animals (mice,
guinea pigs, etc. subjected to excess
sive exertion were, in fact, found to
contain a poisonous (toxic) albumin
GUS product called kenotoxine, which
could be as we'll obtained by artificial
means. This product then forms
spontaneously an antidote (called anti
kenotoxine), which counteracts its
preiudicial effects. When injected be-
meath the skin of animals, kenotoxine
will produce a drop Of temperature,
slackening of respiration and a pro
nounced drowsiness. If however, the
same subjects be previously treated
with anti-kenotoxine, they will re-
main absolutely fresh, their respira.
ton undergoing no slackening. Re
cent experiments have even shown
such anti-kenotoxine injections to in.
crease, in man, not only physical vigor
but even mental efficiency.

Whether the hunger sense has its
