cause. we do not know. Theoretic-
ally Il IS ascribed 20 a catarrhal

When jaundice is present the skin

The Liver Not Always Guilty.
Among the causes of jaundice may
be mentioned poisoning by phos-
phorus. arsenic. or snake-venom.
Malaria. yellow fever. sometimes ty-
phOid fever. and scarlet fever are
ossibie causes of jauRdice without
particular fault OF the liver. Mental
shock or fright can cause jaundice-I
which accounts for the yellow streak
exhibited by the trust magnate on
the witness stand.
The most characteristic case OF
iaundice Is an obstruction OF the nat

Questions and Answers.
r H. inquiries: Is the cause of cpl
lepsy known? Is there any cure for it?
Reply
Alcoholism In one or both parents is
considered cause OF epilepsy. The
specific cause OF the disease is not
known. There is therefore no specific
remedy. Treatment must be determin-
ed by a careful consideration of the
individual case.
