Science Moves On Again

Lime juicer' is sea slang for a Brit
lsh sailor, as our readers who follow the
sea in books may recall 1t was at
tached to him because the British regu-
latlons have for a century required the
issue to him Of an allowance of lime
juice "to prevent scurvy' We can find
the same interesting medical theory in
all the dictionaries and encyclopedias
lime juice is solemnly put down as ''anti-
scorbutic,' which is to say that it oper-
ates to prevent scurvy.
1t is hard to change. slang, so cline
juicer" may last But the medical
theory has been knocked galley-west by
four English Investigators, all women,
who have thoroughly demonstrated that
the lime theory is simply not so Once
again science has moved on, and the
dictionaries and encyclopedias will have
to follow as fast as they can. The whole
administration Of lime juice for the past
half century is shown to have been fall
lacious and almost useless.
The Investigations were made at the
Lister Institute, under the direction of
DR.. Harriette Chick, and comprised a
long series of experiments upon guinea
pigs and monkeys. These showed that
preserved lime juice (the form usually
administered has practically no anti
scorbutic effect whatever, and that even
fresh lime juice is relatively Ineffective
The conclusion was reached that fresh
lemon juice has a preventive value about
four times that of fresh lime Juice.
Orange juice is as effective as lemon
juice.
How, then, did the erroneous theory
arise? An historical inquiry was made
that showed how utterly the treacherous
post hoe propter hoe argument can lead
astray where the exact facts are not
ascertained. The reputation of lime
juice In the British navy was won some
125 years ago, when the Juice used came
from the Mediterranean and consisted
principally of lemon juice with some Juice
OF the sweet lime, but none of the sour
lime. However, in the language of the
time, it was called Cline Juice" So
when, after 1850, the development of
lime juice in the West Indies BROUGHT
a new and cheaper supply nobody
stopped to think that the name covered
an entirely different fruit-the sour
lime. The British Admiralty trusting
ly transferred it's contracts without a
thought.
There was, in fact, soon striking
proof that something was wrong. Lemon
juice had in 1850 saved British polar
expedition from scurvy almost entirely.
In 1875 Sir George Nares's ships, the
Alert and the Discovery, took the new
West Indian lime juice, and scurvy
ravaged the entire personnel. Since
then lime juice has been suspect. but
1t remained for the present investigators
to explain and clarity the bunder.
so. far as general facts with respect
to the disease go nothing new has been
revealed. Its source is still wholly OBJ
scure; but certain fresh foods contain
preventive substances presumably vi
tamnes), namely, oranges, lemons and
fresh green vegetables, also potatoes and
other roots. Science has moved on

Shortly after last Election Dav The
Tribune printed dispatch from it's
correspondent in Santa Ee, N. NJ. re-
ferring to Chief Justice Richard II.
Hanna, Of the New Mexico Supreme
Court, as a ''friend and supporter of
William Randolph Hearst" and stating
that he had been defeated for reelection
because che had espoused the cause of
Hearst" and had spoken in public in
defence Of Hearst" Since then the
Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce has
adopted resolutions denying these state
ments and asserting that Chief Justice
Hanna is "a loyal American citizen"
The Tribune has also received the
personal statement Of Chief Justice
Hanna that he has never supported
Hearst, or spoken in his defence, or on
posed the campaign against the Hearst
publications. Therefore The Tribune
gladly retracts the accusation and offers
Chief Justice Hanna its profound apol-

Nation 5 Press Takes Up the
Protest Against Hearst

If Mayor Hylan will keep his ear TO the

this matter of the membership of William

as the greatest port stands in the position
of being the nations committee of vel

IN from the newspapers of the country is
that the nation should have something to
say about the matter, not as matter of
courtesy, but as a matter of right. In the
language of "1he Wichita Beacon of which
Henry Allen, Governor of Kansas, is editor,
"The presence of Hearst on that committee
is an abomnaton to American
Some of the comment follows:
"The Wichita Beacon: The appointment
of William r. Hearst as chairman of the
committee of welcome for the soldiers
homecoming in New York is presumably
city affair However, it is something which
touches the whole nation. New York is the
front door of the United States and through
its harbor probably viii pass nearly all of
the homecoming troops. Even though the
New York committee may not welcome all
the soldiers, in the very nature of things
the presence of Hearst on that committee
IS an abomination to America. The revela-
tons of A. Bruce Bcask, head of the
United States Secret Service have tangled
Hearst in a maze from which he can never
be cxtricatod. The evidence of his lack Of
Amcricanism, to put it very mildly, is SO
complete that he can never explain it away
The people of the whole nation should pro
test vigorously against his appointment. To
leave him on the committee will be to in
suit every soldier who returns from France.

Health Hints
A LESSON FROM A TRAGEDY
d.. Julian II. LeWis

A very sad and unfortunate death
which came to my notice recently
teaches such an important hygienic
lesson that will relate the incidents
of it. 1t will illustrate how dangerous
certain procedures are which have
been handed down from generation to
generation as having certain medical
virtues.
A young lady living on a farm
pricked her finger on the fin of fish
which she had just caught in small
pond not very far from barn. AZ
those who have experienced it know
such wound is very painful, evidently
because Of some poisonous secretion
present on the fins of some fishes.
This lady scooped up some mud from
a nearby puddle and spread it on the
wound, because it is believed in certain
parts of the country that a mud plas-
ter has power to draw" pain from a
sore spot. One or two days later
the finger became more painful and
swollen. The mud plaster was replaced
by slice of salt bacon and tight
bandage. This is another superstition
that salt bacon can draw" out inham-
nation. Three days after this the
lady was taken down with the char
acteristic symptoms Of tetanus or lock
jaw, and it was but a matter Of few
days before she was dead, large
amounts of anti-serum being unable
to save her.
The explanation Of her death was
as follows: The prick of fish fin,
like that Of a nail or a needle, produces
a deep shallow wound which has little
tendency to bleed and closes up soon,
sealing in any dirt which may have
been introduced. Profuse bleeding is
sometimes beneficial because it washes
out any dirt which may be in the
wound. The application of mud is one
of the most dangerous things one can
resort to, especially mud obtained near
a stable, because it swarms with the
germs Of lockjaw This young lady
with her mud plaster not only stopped
the bleeding, but inoculated lockjaw
germs into the wound and produced
the condition which is the best for
them to grow in, namely, where no
air can get to them and where there
is injured flesh. Instead of calling
a doctor when conditions got worse
she temporized still further with other
useless applications. 1t was no won.
der she died so quickly, because every
condition for the production of tetanus
was as perfect as if they were will
fully produced.
There are two important lessons at
least to draw from this citation. The
flrst Is that every wound should be
kept as free from dirt as possible.
The second is that it should not be too
tightly sealed from the circulation Of
air, but protected well enough to keep
out extraneous dirt. 1t is a good rule
to put on a drop of tincture Of iodine
Immediately after the affliction OF the
wound. But this is very painful IL
the injury is very large, and therefore
cannot be used with little children. In
this case, wash the wound thoroughly
with hydrogen-peroxide. The advan.-
ages are two-fold: 1t is antiseptic and
the evolution of gas produces a me-
chanical cleansing.
Another lesson is that a doctor
should be called early. Do not trus,
your own judgment in the matter.
