Conflicting statements, with more or
less semblsnce of being authoritative,
are given out regarding the brown-tail
and gypsy moth situation in Maine.
Rather, il is correct 10 say that the con-
fiicting statements are with regard to the
brown-tail situation. Some say that the
pest may be under control within a com
parstively few years, while Others de-
clare il on the increase. IL is not doubt
cd by any intelligent observer that the
brown-tails 10 this section of the state
are as numerous as in any previous year,
and there is certainly little ground for
thinking that the weather of the past
winter was severe enough to affect them
at all. As to the gypsy moth situation, all
reports agree that that pest Is spreading
over the state in spite OF all that can be
done, and that il constitutes a serious
menace.

understood the importance of the

After the clinical thermometer
was invented, there was time when
physicians gave TO fever itself too
much Importance: the whole treat
ment was devoted To beating it
down without sufficient regard TO its
exciting cause. Then came a reac
ton; fever took its proper place as
one symptom among others, and its
value as means of diagnosis was
at last recognized.
That can be seen clearly in the
case of typhoid fever. When a
