LEARNED HIS LESSON
YOUNG DOCTOR TOOK COUNSEL
AND PROFITED THEREBY.
Found That There Are Many Who
Seek the Touch Of Healing Hand,
but IL Must Be SkiIIfuIIy
Applied.

/. While yet King Woodrow ruled
over the people a certain young man
went forth from the place where ply
sicians are taught and betook him IN
to city, saying,
2. Verify, l have studied long and
diligently and spent much gold gain
ing wisdom in my calling. Now I will
heal the sick and lame and get me
great riches and high repute among
men.
3. Whereupon he sought out room
near the marketplace and hung out a
shingle to proclaim his calling.
4. And in due season it came TO pass
that the sick came to him for counsel,
and many were healed and went upon
their way rejoicing.
5. And it came to pass that many
women with gold ornaments and pleas
ing incense came to seek his counsel
and be healed of divers things.
6. But with one accord they came
| not the second time unto him.
z. Whereupon he mourned exceed
ingly, for he said unto himself, Alas
and alas: Without the favor OF the
wealth or high repute.
8. And he sought an elder doctor,
sorrowing, and spake unto him, saying,
| 9. Behold, thou art high in favor of
/ these wealthy danes, and they bestow
much fees upon thee, while I, who ex-
eel thee in knowledge, get but a single
whack at them, and they return no
more.
10, And the elder physician winked
the other eye, saying,
IL. Much learning hath made thee
mad. Remember that when woman
sayeth she is i'll, she desireth not the
truth, but much attention.
IL. And it came to pass that when
next a rich woman called upon the
young physician, he rebuked her not
saying, few nights sleep and a cur
of hot water before breakfast will
restore thee.
10. Nay, he shook his head sadly
and gave her many pills of dough and
sugar, saying,
IA. Get thee to another cline anG
take thine ease among the palms, anG
keep thy body supple by much dancing
and bathing on the beach.
15. And, behold, she showered much
gold upon him and signed him for hel
family doctor by the year
16. And likewise it befell with many
more who came, until the young mar
waxed fat and equity with much prac
! tice.
II. And he reflected often, saying
within himself, Verify, it is not only
the showmongers that fain must give
the public what it wants. Selah.-
Judge.

Stunted City Worker.

The stunted city worker has been
discussed recently in a remarkable
paper by an English inspector of fac
tories. He contrasted the figures of
the height and weight Of 2,749 men
reared in such industrial centers as
Sheffield, Birmingham, Gateshead,
Newcastle and Swansea, working at
indoor occupations, with those of 400
navvies, iron workers and salmon fish
ermen, born and bred in rural dis
tricts and accustomed to outdoor call
ings.
He found that the average height of
the indoor workers was five feet, five
inches, and the average weight 10
stone. The average hight Of the out
door workers was five feet, eight
inches and the weight 10 stone 4
pounds.
Scotsmen were the tallest, and ma
tives of County Kerry the heaviest.
He declared that considerable pro
portion of the working population
was being artif1cially stunted to g
grave extent
He expressed the opinion that de-
terioratfon was largely a matter OF
| poverty. Tea did more than was sus
pected to undermine the constitution
of the industrial classes.

Usual causes of Indioestjon

DR.. Henry P. De Forest, medical ex-
aminer to the New York civil service
commission, says that irregular and
too short hours for meals are COM
mon cause for indigestion; and he
admits that the physicians themselves
are about the worst violators of the
law against irregular meal hours.
He also says that too great a con-
sumption of prepared foods does away
with the use of the teeth and, there
fore, the food passes to the stomach
without proper mastication and that
even the stomach itself does not have
enough to do when insufficient solid
food passes through it. Improper
food, modes Of dress, sedentary in
door life, too little water and too
much iced water taken with meals,
excess of stimulants and too much
hot bread, are among other causes for
chronic catarrh of the stomach and
constipation mentioned by DR.. De For.

GETTING ONES SECOND WIND
Explanation of Action Familiar to
Every Athlete Is a Most
Simple One.

The probable explanation of the
second wind" is as follows: In the
deep breathing of an athletic person
taking moderate exercise at sea level,
lack of oxygen plays no part The eff
feet is wholly due to an increased pro-
duction of carbonic acid stimulating
the respiratory center, which responds
proportionally. On very violent ex-
ertion at sea level, however, and on
even moderate exertion at a great al
titude, the oxygen supply to the It's
sues of the body is temporarily insult
ficient.
Substances other than carbonic acid,
such as Tactic acid, are produced, and,
when these substances reach the re-
spiratory centers by the way of the
blood they excite it to such activity
that one overbreathes. That is, the
violent painting yentilates the carbon
ic acid out of the blood more rapidly
than the body is producing it. The
substances which thus overestimate
the respiratory center are not VIOLA.
tile and cannot be given off by way
of the lungs, but they appear to be
rather rapidly oxydized in the blood.
When the carbonic acid has been
considerably diminished a part Of the
stimulus to the respiratory center is
removed so that one can breathe more
moderarely-tha is, one gets his sec
ond wind" When the exertion stops,
| the production of the stimulating sub
stances ceases, and the quantity OF
carbonic acid in the blood having been
reduced below the amount necessary
to stimulate the respiratory center
one falls into a period of apnoea foE
lowed by Cheyne-Stokes breathing
like an engine with a sensitive gov
ernor and no flywheel. Breathing
oxygen under these conditions hastens
the combustion of the acid substances
which have accumulated in the blood

How to Danish Flies,

General Vaillard, president Of the
health board Of the French army, ad-
dressed the Royal Society Of Medicine
in London a few weeks ago on House
flies and Public Health" Among the
most interesting things he said were
those about the best methods Of rid
ding houses of flies. After mentioning
the traps and fypapers with which
everyone is familiar, he spoke of pyre-
thrum powder as very active when
fresh and pure. Milk containing Is
per cent of formalin is good, and fumi
cation with cresol ought to be more
common, as it destroys mosquitoes as
we'll as flies. This fumigation is espe
cislly useful in kitchens and stables.
