Exercise for PARALYSIS.

In the Journal of the American Medi-
cal association of December Is, 1916,
DR.. Walter B. Swift offers q number of
control exercises for the treatment of
shaking paralysis. Report is made that
he succeeded in bringing about i'm
provement in marked cases, treated
with Slow-mOving exercises taken for
10 minutes three times day. Doctor
Swift reports the case of woman to
whom he gave an exercise in vOwels
to be sounded in a prolonged, steady
fashion, to improve the voice tremor.
This exercise, it is reported, not only
1essened the voice tremor, but the ire
NOR in the hands of the patient and
also her general health. The bodily ex-
ercises are simple. The patient is TO
stand with all clothing constructions
All motions should be exe.
cuted slowly. All sudden movements
should be omitted. The patient should
practice from Is to 80 minutes three
times q day. OF course it is necessary
to have a physician indicate the proper
exercises to fit each individual case.
The important feature, however, seems
to be, no matter what the form of ex-
ercise may be, slowness.

TRAGEDY DUE TO TOOTHACHE
French Monarch Tormented by Agony
When He Signed Revocation of
Edict of Nantes.

That the failure of a king to take
proper care of the teeth, with the re-
sulting toothache, was the cause of
step that made torrents of blood
drench the soil of France, seems to
be an historical fact.
Louis XIV. who on October II, 1855,
signed the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes, which action took from the
Huguenots their right to freedom of
worship, and provoked the uprising of
the Camisards, who for nearly two
decades withstood the armies of the
king, had teeth so unsouDd that before
middle age, all those in the upper jaw
had been lost or reduced to scraggy
stumps.
He naturally became a victim to
severe dyspepsia, and during the me-
morable year of 1856 the royal dentist,
we learn, was sometimes with him for
a whole day. Inflammation once re-
suited from the removal of a root be-
meath which an abscess had formed.
This was said to be during the very
time when he was apparently wavering
between his conscience and pressure
brought by the more radical of his adj
visers as to compliance with the lat
ter's demand that the Huguenots be
suppressed.
The two Colberts, Seignelai and
Croissi, and even the young Dauphin,
urged delay, but the king answered
them in such a tone of irritation that
they were silenced one of them saying
to the others: His majesty is tor
mented by tOothache; we may not in
trude."
And so the edict of Nantes, which
had been granted by Henry of Navarro,
as Henry " of France, and had as
sured peace and calm throughout
France for more than two-thirds of a
century, was abrogated, religious strife
broke out again, and thousands of
HuguenOts were driven from their ma
tive land.

Brazil LOSING Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of its dominant position
in the rubber trade. Whereas, a few
years back, the world looked to South
America for most of its crude rubber,
it is now getting the larger share from
the far East. The Brazilian product is
obtained from trees that grow wild,
and little has been done toward culti-
walton of the trees. In Sumatra, Cey-
Ion, Burma. and other countries mil
lions of trees have been set out and
are now coming into bearing. The do
nestle product is said TO be slightly SUI
perior to that obtained from Brazil,
and the trees improve with age. The
financial loss to Brazil through its de-
creasing exports has become a serious
matter.-New York Times.
