is not harmless manifestation, but is due to
destructive changes in the blood which are the
direct result of the use of the drug, and that it
is accomplished by impoyerishment of the blood.
Hence, those who take these remedies habitually
often suffer from "anemia," or thin blood and
the symptoms which usually accompany this
condition-palor, shortness of breath, palpita-
ton of the heart muscular weakness, disinclina-
zion to make any exertion etc.
The injudicious use of these remedies also has
a harmful effect upon the heart, thus tending to
exaggerate the symptoms above mentioned. In
addition, It may give rise to other i'll effects
which arise from weakness of the circulation,
and may often produce death
1t has long been known that most of the drugs
in headache mixtures are habt-forming drugs.
The habit is usually acquired through the use
of the remedy for headaches and minor pains
Troubles of this kind are peculiarly likely to re.
turn again and again, and as the remedy has but
a temporary effect the dose must be repeated
In time the patient may easily become dependent
upon the drug.
Furthermore, the ache or pain for which the
medicine was first taken is often worse than
ever after the effects of the remedy have passed
away, because of the weakened condition Of the
system which may result from the use of these
agents, and hence there is additional call for the
remedy Thus a habit may be established
more drug, impaired bodily health, lessened re-
sistance, more pain more drug

1t may be this subconscious strain

NEW LIGHT on the Mystery OF PAIN

mild sensation soon becomes agony When we burn
hand the sensations of heat follow another with
such extreme rapdity that it takes short time to
reach the stage of pain.
Cocaine will sometimes make insensble to pain,
and yet sensible to touch, taste or SMELL 1t is sup
posed that the cocaine allows the nerves to transmit
sensations internationally with sufficient intervals to
prevent them from reaching the stage of pain.
The cornea or transparent portion OF the eye pre-
ents problem If you touch the cornea ever so gently
the result is pain The explanation would naturally be
that the nerves of the transmit sensations SO
rapidly that they always cause pain But this is not So
II air is blown in fine stream against the cornea the
feeling is not of touch OF pain but OF cold
Deep dull sounds like thunder, drums and cart
wheels tend to deaden pain High sounds and bright

How Birds FIND THEIR WAY HOME Better Than You Can

not for their early training regarding
the points Of the compass.
Recent experiments have shown
that persons who have what is known
as ''bad sense of direction" have
also Imaginary maps" in their
minds. An imaginary man is really

are

one who is easily confused no mat

With as many as 80 per cent you

These imaginary maps" which
confuse us all our lives are the re-
suit of our early lessons in geogra-
ply. We are taught this science long
before it interests us and we talk
gltbly about east and north without
at the same time placing them in our
minds.
A geography teacher should get the
points of the compass in the chill
drens minds as regards their desks
and the schoolhouse before a single
map is shown Then from time TO
time the teacher can test the mental
map as it grows in each child's head
and correct the imaginary features
before they take root.

A CETANILID. antipyrin and phenacetin are
~ very commonly used In the preparation OF
d = mixtures intended for the relief of head
ache and other minor aches and pains. These
drugs are white powders with comparatively little

reason that they are obtained indirectly from coal

According TO the experts Of the United States

Vhv GREAT THINKERS Are Often ABSENT MINDED

Judged by these standards, the great thinker
is woefully inefficient" He cannot remember
isolated facts quickly nor can he remember
specifically correlated facts very quickly. The
joke which the average man and woman will
understand very quickly the great thinker viii
understand very slowly not because his attention
is wandering but because II il laboriouS work
for him to let his associative memory recall just
why the thing which Is so obviously funny to the
average minded is out Of perspective, or out of
proper proportion, or incongruous. For, accord
ing to Bergson, laughter is occasloned only by
things which are not in proper relation to each

that the reason great thinkers are 50 often
