writer goes on to say:
zone should not only watch the voice
as to tone and quality, but should note
the subject matter of the conversation
for it is in this way that we get an
understanding Of the addict's mental
attitude.
1.-THE cocaine and morphine addict
is very apt to be obscene. Once the
patient becomes thoroughly cured, all
these disgusting symptoms pass away.
The conversation of q bunch Of drug
addicts is nearly always tiresome to
tho normal person. And in some cases
it Is disgusting. However, the doctor
who desires to become an expert in
these neuroses should listen to it with
the closest Of attention and with the
thought Of analysing every detail of
it. For it not only affords data that
are useful in determining the severity
of the neurosis, but gives US a line on
certain features of the patients mental
attitude that need correction by re-
peated suggestion.

in regard to the prognosis. 1t also

to say that he is in need of morphine,
but when he begins to growl about the

"the manner of speech is changed

A Ne1U Vision in
Healing Disease

only little further, disaster must
have overtaken it, because patients
who recover from pneumonia pass as
rule through a 'crisis.' That crisis
Is admittedly one of the most dra-
matte events in the whole of the
realm Of disease. A man who has
been in obvious distress, who has
seemed to be within sight Of death,
who has been struggling for breath,
often blue in the face, suddenly
passes, as at the stroke Of wand,
into rest and peace. The anxious look
disappears, the struggle for breath
ends. Easy and comfortable respira-
ton follows upon the agony Of Az
hour ago. The blue color is dssi-
pated.
"And yet every medical man knows
that after the crisis the lungs of this
man are just as greatly out of COM
mission as they were before it. He IL
still vastly restricted in his lung
space, and should, therefore, be as
greatly IN want OF oxygen as ever.
Why, then, is he not now struggling
for breath? Why have his struggles
ceased?
"These questions were asked by a
group Of workers recently. And willis
they were being asked the influenza
epidemic came with Its terrible sep
tic pneumonia In tho case Of these
neumonias the struggle for breath
was all too apparent, the blue look,
supposed to- denote blood which had
been insuficicntly oxygenated owing
TO failing circulation, the anxiety,
we're all present. But the lung space,
az proved by post mortcm, was not
affected. These patients died Of bloou
poisoning; often there we're no gross
LESSONS in the lungs at all.
"Thus the question was answered
Whatever else this struggle for
breath might denote, it did not de
note desire for more oxygen"

not, if it indicates morphine toxemia 1t
should cause the doctor to be more
watchful. On the other hand, if there
is nothing about the speech to give
rise to suspicion it is an added indi-
cation things are going we'll with the
patient.
"Thc voice in cocaine toxema is
changed to a greater degree than it is
in morphinism. If tho dosage is not
unreasonable there is but little change
in the voice, but il the addict has a
heavy load Of this narcotic on, the
voice becomes loud and harsh in tone
1t has a peculiar jar somewhat like
that Of a person who has become to-
tally deaf during adult life, but who
has not lost the faculty of speech.
1nasmuch as the addict is quarrelsome
the voice is very apt to take on an
angry tone. AS the effects Of the dose
die out the voice gradually falls to the
normal pitch and tone.
"The voice Of the chronic hyoscine
or atropine addict has monotonous
tone. 1t is also louder than normal

rs anything in Nature square?
The answer is no. But we live
in square rooms and rectangu-
lar houses. That is unnatural.
We must be wrong.
We are all wrong, asserts c. N.
Wisner, Of New Orleans, who has
devised the ideal home, with no
square corners. Life in round
house is his dream. He has patented
4 concrete house with rounded
rooms, and organized the C. N.
Wisner Home, Inc, to build homes
as they should be built.
1t is doubtful if any of these
rambling one-story buildings will be
erected on our costly Manhattan
Isle, but out where land is less ex-
pensive and population less dense
these homes may have their appeal.

0 MOVEMENT in modern
medicine has been more
striking than that which

\ striking than that which
has directed attention
away from disease as a fixed point
and turned it toward health. No
movement has been more speedily
productive of results. We are on
the threshold of a new vision Of
neallng, says the medical CORE
spondent Of "The London Times"
LET US take q single illustration
from modern work, upon which the
Ink is not yet dry, and around which
storms OF controversy are bound to
rage-crlticism Of the we'll known
theory OF the need of moro oxygen
during effort. According to this
theory, when effort is undertaken more
oxygen is required by the body, and
20 active and forcible breathing takes
place The lungs are 'expanded,' the
man brings into play additional means
OF securing the needed oxygen, and

medicine for very long time, and Il.
mas been used to explain all manner
OF disease phenomena. 1t has scarcely
oeen questioned. Children in schools
are taught it reverently and instructed
20 act upon it. In hundred ways i.

life.
Its apparent simplicity has made
~ welcome in the sick room. The pa
uene suffering from pneumonia, who
- manifestly in difficulties with his
breathing, is accepted az an illustra-
non. He struggles for breath; he is
"sheing for oxygen. 1t is pointed out
mat the inflammatory condition in

lung space TO breathe with. Hence.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. ID

six cents damages against the Chi

Orvy Hulett, foreman of the iurv>
said that they took "nine ballets that
| can remember" The first ono. ac-
cording to Leonard Measel, another
juror, stood eight to four in favor
of awarding Mr.. Ford some damages
ttorney Alfred J. Murphy for Mr..
Ford said:
The important issue in this case
mas been determined favoraLly to the
plaintiff. He has been vindicated
Money damages were entirely
sut ordinate and were not sought by
Mr.. Ford. He stands not only vindi-
G ted, but his attitude as an A,neri
oan citizen has been justified after a
tria. which raised every issue agmn Il
MIN which ingenuity and research
could present. His friends are en-
trely satisfied"
Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for
the Tribune said:

same reason that Attorney Alfred

stated that anything less than sub
stantial damages would be a defeat

JAPANESE TO BUILD

Tokyo, Japan-Prominen Japa-
nese business men formally decided
yesterday to float 5O,00O,000 yen
(about $25, ,000,0 ,00O) company for the
purpose of laying a cable line be-
tween the United States and Japan.
This decision is the result of dissat-
isfaction which has been existing for
a long time among business men on
both sides of the Pacific with the
present cable service, which seems
unable to handle the constantly in
creasing volume of traffic.
1t is expected that the venture will
be supported by business men of the
United States as well as by those in
Japan and that the establishment of
new cable line will do much toward
promoting not only trade between
the United States and Japan but also
a better understanding between the
two nations.
