 Dear Sir: Your letter of January l4 and the enclosed specimen are re- ceived, and 1 want to thank you for taking the trouble to send thiS to the museum.
 Your finding this specimen in a birch tree in Alaska is more remark able than you yourself, perhaps, real ize, for the specimen is nothing less than a loofah or vegetable sponge from gourd known botanically as "Luffa aegyptiaca" which grows in Egypt. These loofahs can be pur- chased in almost any drug store in this city. They come fiattended out, not over a half inch thick, but swell to their original shape when moistened.

What Physicians

THE USE OF ORGANIC
PHOSPHORUS.

Something over sixty years ago
Pelouz, a French scientist. discov-
cred form of organic phosporus
which, when taken into the human

nerve tissue. Nearly half a century
later Robin, distinguished French
physician. began scientific investi-

! phosphorus and it's effect upon the
human system, with results that
amazed the scientific and medical
world, and today it Is an admitted
fact that in the treatment of those
ailments, directly or indirectly due
to depleted nervous vitality, such as
neurasthenia, nervous weakness,
premature old age, insomnia, lack of
energy, fatigue, nervous debility,
thlnneSs, etc, it is unequalled. To-
day physicians and hospitals every
where recognize it's merits by it's
use in ever increasing quantities. 1t
is therefore a matter of more than
ordinary interest to all such suf-
ferers to learn that this organic
nerve building phosphorus is now

in the form of 5-grain tablets of

charged with that strength, vitality
and energy which makes life so truly

cautioned against compounds or mix
