their preservation.
Tho leaders Of the recent revolution
have purchased the downfall OF Yuan
shih.k'ai by accepting support and
sympathy from the most autocratic
monarchy the world has ever seen.
They owe their victory to the assist
ance OF people fanatically credulous
IN the divinity and infallibility OF their
own ruler.
Can an absolute autocracy be sin
ce'e In its friendship for a neighbor
whose institutions may in time UNDER
mine the foundations Of its own politi-
cal system? In accepting the aid OF
Japan to punish Yuan the new leaders
have forgotten the lessons of history
and turned q deaf ear to the warnings
that Japan has from time to time
sounded for their particular benefit.
Yet the great objective has been OBJ
'a!ned. They have danced. The re-
public In saved. But the piper stands
inside the door waiting for his pay.

should command 1885 votes as
again a total of only 10 for all other
democrats combined is not surprising
seeing that any other nomination at

thnkable; but it is distinctly notable
that the Wilson poll is almost exactly
equal to the number Of those stating
that they voted for his in 1913. 1t is
also worth noting that the Wilson poll
namely, 1,0S5-exceeds by more
thon one-third the number of those

ing ATT and 1856, respectively. In the

Our medical forefathers made quite
as many mistakes as we make today.
Two OF their greatest mistakes were
calomel and castor oil.
Calomel, theoretically, did something
to the liver. 1t was supposed that cal
omel increased the flow of bile, or
facilitated the discharge Of bile from
the liver into the bowel, or something
vaguely like that Practically. there
isn't any reason to think calomel in
creases the flow Of bile or in any way
affects the liver any more than other
laxative drugs. Experimentally, cal
omel rather tends to diminish bile Sc
erection. Furthermore. calomel very
often nauseates, and occasionally,
even in small one-tenth grain doses,
salivates the victim.
Castor OIL, the most repulsive OF all
domestic medicines, is an irritant to
the intestine. although 1t is an oil. 1t
binds the bowel. and is hence some
times prescribed in cases Of acute
diarrhoea or summer complaint. But
this binding influence makes castor
oil unsuitable for a laxative for fire.
quent or regular use. Indeed, one Of
the commonest causes Of constipation
In children is a too ready resort to
castor oil when laxative Is desired.
Both castor oil and calomel have
been found to produce marked ap-
pearance of red blood corpuscles in
the stools-not visible blood, but red
corpuscles, which can be seen only
with the microscope. Now a cathartic
which does that is Objectionable for
frequent use.
The calomel and castor oil habit is
only a habit, even among doctors. We
know, because we have found that
neither remedy is ever necessary
There are invariably less injurious,
and more agreeable substitutes to
use. OF course, II doctor still har-
bors the delusion that calomel does

Side1ights on the European War

Shanghai-Great interest has been
created by the recent meeting here
Of the National Medical association.
1t is the first time that such a confer
ence of western trained doctors has
ever been held in China and taken in
conjunction with the foundation of the
National hospital in Picking, which will
train Chinese medical students in
western medical learning, the confer
ence is declared to be fraught with the
greatest possibilities for good. One or
two foreign doctors gave addresses by
invitation, notably, DR.. A Stanley, the
Shanghai medical officer of health, on
Patent Medicines the use of
which the Chinese are much addicted.
In the main, the proceedings were in
Chinese and the whole conference was
wholly organized, as the association
has been founded by Chinese alone.
DR.. WI Lien-teh, NJ. D. Cantab, the
we'll known expert on Manchurian
pneumonia plague, contributed a paper
on THE Foundations Of Modern Hy-
giene" in China, recalling that in the
Chou dynasty, 700 B. c., the art of
physical culture was highly developed
and the importance Of eating nothing
uncooked, as a precaution against
zymotic disease, was inculcated by the
state
Miss Ida Kahn, a Chinese woman
doctor, gave brilliant lecture on "Hy-
giene in the Home" There were three
Chinese women doctors present, of
whom one commands an extensive
practice in Shanhai.
The question of finding Chinese
equivalents for English medical terms
occupied an important place In the
discussion. These simply have to be
invented. Some of'the speakers had
been trained in Japan and advocated
the adoption of already existing jap
anese terms, as being more easily as
simulated by Chinese than English
words. But the majority were in ia
vor Of Chinese.
