VERY QUEER
ANCIENT CURES
Mummies for Fevers and
Spiders For Jaundice. Were
Used in OIden Times.

We who understand modern medi-
cal methods, sanitation and the care
of simple diseases are likely to be
Mortified at the cures" offered by
the ancients and accepted by them
as the only possible remedies.
Before medicine became science it
was used to a large degree with su-
perstition, and much of the medi-
cine used by the ancients was
thought to cure by supernatural
means.
Tigers flesh and new born puppies
were popular speeches. for certain ills.
One book Of remedies, among the
best of its time, recommended live
spider, rolled in butter and formed
in a pill This pill was to be taken
as an antidote for jaundice, and Jauh-
dice, in the days when the book was
new, covered many forms of disease
now known by other names.
Vipers were held in high esteem.
These were given for various all
ments. but one of their best uses was
an eye remedy. Vipers, stewed into
a broth, were supposed to be an ex-
cellent remedy for Strengthening the
eyes.
Even as late as the 18th and 18th
centuries powdered mummies were
prescribed for various illnesses and
fevers. AS mummies were scarce and
fever plentiful many powders, sup
posed to be made from powdered
mummies, were supplied to patients
with the same excellent effect that
the real mummy would have given.

Investigating Committee.
Cigarette smoking is so much on
the increase in Georgia that the leg
islature is taking cognizance of the
situation.
A resolution has been introduced
in the senate for the appointment of
a special committee to take up the
advisability of establishing state
asylum for cigarette fiends, morphine
eaters and inebriates.
At the same time a bill has been
introduced to prohibit the sale of
cigarettes and other tobacco to min
ors. This measure does not attack
the tobacco trade personal, and does
not condemn tobacco in itself, but
sets forth that any kind of smoking,
and cigarette smoking in particular
is admitted by the best authorities
to be extremely harmful to young
boys and all youthful persons who
have not attained their full mental
and physical development. For this
reason. the bill sets forth, cigarettes
and tobacco should he kept from
their hands.
At present a ten year old boy in
