S-E--S HERE has long been a popular belief
that consumptiye person feels bet
ID ter and is really in better health in
The Summer months than at other times OF
the year. Until recently, however, physi
clans have pooh-poohed this idea, saying
that it had no basis other than the fact that
coughs and colds, which affect the tuDer-
cular patient adversely, are less frequent
in Summer
In this as in many other things it now
turns out that popular belief was right and
Dr. Science wrong. Recent Investigations
by Or. Strangdaard, an eminent Danish
physician, show that entirely apart from the
fewer coughs and colds in warm weather
the Summer months are undoubtedly the
most favorable 10 the consumptive.

II appears TO be the general opinion that

something like one hundred thousand years or
longer. In all of these stages our ancestors
were yet in the savage state. The advance
to the higher state OF barbarism was brought
about by the marvellous discovery of means
of making pottery. Man learned to fashion
moist clay into useful shape and burn it into
hardness so that it would endure use The
