With early discovery, these stu
dents promise favorable results in
treatment, especially in the instance
OF cancer and tuberculosis. In the
instance of the degenerative diseas-
es OF the heart, arteries, kidneys,
and nervous system, the tendencies
may frequently be overcome and the
patient be skillfully steered away
from what would otherwise be his
natural and untimely end.
Obviously, the physician cannot
apply the an ounce of prevention

of the patient. The saving of many
lives and much health will be ac-
complished when physicians clients
get the point Of view of those of the

The study was plunged in darkness!
Uttering a SODA cry of agony and
horror that came from her very soul
the woman stood upright and turned to
face the door, clutcning the sheet Of
paper in one rigid hand.
Through the loaded panes of the win

silvern beam of moonlight. 1t poured
searchingly upon the fur clad figure
swaying by the table. cutting through
the darkness of the room like some

rasping shriek-"Mr. King!"
Straight at the bare throat leaped
the yellow hands, a gurgling cry rose,
fell and died away.
Gently, noiselessly, the lady of the
civet fur sank upon the carpet by the
table. AS she fell a dim black figure
bent over her. The tearing Of paper
told Of the note being snatched from
her frozen grip, but never for a mo-
ment did the face or the form Of her
assailant encroach upon the moonbeam.

Presently confused and intermingled
voices from above proclaimed the re-
turn of LerOux with the doctor. They
were talking in an excited key, the
voice of Leroux especially sounding al
most hysterical. They created such a
disturbance that they attracted the at

circling around the dreadful obstacle
which lay in his path, to help himself
to a match. AS he stopped to do so,
he perceived that in the closed right

scrap of paper.
"Leroux! Cumberly!' he exclaimed,

poor cold fingers without tearing It,
Finally he contrived to release the
fragment, and, perceiving it to bear

eagerly scanned it. lowering his mas
