so severe that it walked me out of

flesh so severely that in short time
the affected places were SO sore I
could scarcely walk with any ease or
comfort. The places were solid rails

until they would bleed. I tried home
remedies but got no good; the itching

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that a number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation of well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United States
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That SO per cent. Of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler,
Chief of the Division of Drugs, Depart
ment of Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
ct Is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
laws are not saving the public from
the grip of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss of
the morphine and cocaine f1end.
"The worst of it is that the impor-
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l have heard it said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. of the CO.
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. ]. A: Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, In public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded Of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours The flower was also served
at table, both as garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad,
and rose water was largely used for
flayoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among, western ma
tons, but the Chinese still eat rose
