COPENHAGEN, Aug. .. - The former
Prince Henry of Prussia In a letter TO
King George, published to-day by the
Hamburg Ndohrichten, says the truth
about the war may be had from the allied
statesmen, and he suggests that II the
former German Emperor is placed on
trial the Statesmen also appear.
The letter asks Kings George, ''in the
name Of Justice and his own interests"
to desist from demanding the extradition
and trial Of the former German ruler.
The letter. which IL signed your humble
cousin Henry" charges that England
plotted Germany's commercial downfall.
II the Allies want the truth, the former
Prince says. the leading statesmen Of
Great Britain and her allies also should
be brought before the tribunal as "pri-
marily and urgently suspected Of guilt
In the world war"
The letter contnuesi Germany and
her brave people have been lift severely,
but they are not yet dead The German
spirit, which now seems dead, still lives
and will one day awake to fun conscious
ness Of the disgrace and shame which
have been inflicted. ana will one day de-

the British Government which for years
prepared the world war In order to
eliminate Germany as q troublesome
competitor from the worlds markets.

Of your meetings with M. Sazonon (then
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs) In
September, 1919, at Balmoral. and the
utterances of your Majesty on that oc-
casion. which leave no doubt OF the fate

FROM A cHILD's TOY.

Just one hundred years ago Rene
Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec, one: Of
the pioneers Of modern medicine, OBJ
serving some children playing in the
gardens Of the Louvre, listening TO
the transmission Of sounds along
,pieces Of wood, conceived the idea; Of
utilizing this method for listening 70
breath sounds in examining spa-
tents lungs. He went home, fashion ZION
ed a tube by rolling s'uphssne glued
paper and then expeimsPted Sath
this in his ward at'the Meekar Hos-
pital. From this incident N the tar-
den dates the modern "stethoscope," !"
an instrument wen nigh indispensable
in the modern practice Of medicine.
The early stethoscopes contrHed
|by Laennec, were unlike those eeh-
orally in use in this country atsthe
present time for they were eSn-
structed to, be used by one ear only.
Nevertheless the original Laennec
type is still widely used in EuroHesn
countries. To us, who are accustomed
to the scrupulous cleanliness Of every
thing about modern hospital, it iscu-
.rious indeed, to learn that the filthy
condition Of the patients in the hos
pitals in Laennec's time made it re-
pugnant to physicians to listen to'the
sounds in the lungs by placing the ear
directly on the chest Of the patient.
Laennec gave his invention the
name by which the device is still
known, deriving the word stethoscope
from two Greek roots, one meaning
the "chest" and the other ITO OBJ
serve" or regard.
In using the stethoscope the in
strument should be placed on the
bare chest wall. For this reason q
satisfactory examination Of the lungs
can only be made when the patient
is stripped to the waist. Careless
physicians sometimes attempt to ex-
amihe patients chest through the
clothing. Such an examination is
worthless. If you want reliable in
formation concerning the condition
of your lungs, do not 60 to a doctor
who attempts such careless work. 1t is
time and money wasted.
DR.. Laennec was born at Quimper
in Brittany on February II, 1881,
growing to manhood during some OF
the most troublous> years in the his
tory of France. lie, studied medicine
at Paris, receiving his degree Of
doctor in 1904. He died on August

DIR. NEUFFER WRITES
- OF DIR. w. N. NORWOOD

/ The following account Of the life
of DR.! Westley U. Norwood, Of Cokes-
bury, was written by DR.. G. A. Neuf-
fer, for The Journal Of the South
Carolina Medical Association:
Wesley U. Norwood of Cokesbury
died at his home in that village, July
Is, 1884, after long illness in the
seventy-eighth year Of his age. He
graduated in medicine at Castelton
Vermont, and practised his profession
for over fifty years. His success as
practitioner was great and only lin
ited by his power Of endurance and
willingness to work. His physical ca
pacity for work was remarkable, and
this together with energy, promptness
self confidence, added to real ability
secured and maintained a practice to

his distinguished position as prac-
itioner, he was elected to professor.
ship in Oglethorpe Medical college,
Savannah, Ga, in 1855, which he de-
clined.
DR.. Norwood is known throughout
1.-THE; world for his labors and dis
icourses in reference to the therapeu-
ticai effects Of 'veratrum. yiride. The
money derived from the sale Of this
preparation known as "Norwoods
Tmcture," brought him handsome
Income and fortune. The Shakers Of
Mount Lebanon, w. Va, manu-
factared the tincture and paid Pr.
Norwood royalty. During the war
Dr.. Norwood like everybody else in
the South, sacrificed everything he
had for his country. when the war
ended in 1866 he returned to Cokes-
bury penniless. During the war he
had not heard from the Shakers and
had been completely out Of touch with
them. .,. g., ).
The Shakers, however, had not for
gotten him, they had kept a strict
account of his royalty, as they con-
tinued to make Norwood's tincture
and turned over to him quite hand
some sum which had accumulated
during the war. By this fortunate oc-
Icurrence DR.. Norwood was about the
only man in Cokesbury who had real
money, the others had plenty of Con-
ifederate money which was then
worthless.
DR.. Norwood very wisely i;s::yes!ci i

man and Farmer,
'The farmer is an unhappy third
party, whose favor is sought by both
sides, but who cannot choose because
he belongs to neither. He is like
ally and progressive goat.
He is neither capitalist nor laborer,
yet combination Of the two" It is
reckoned that there are five
farmers to every organized laborer.
That the farmer is flirting with
labor is charged by the
Peoria Transcript, but this is
vehemently denied by numerous far.

country, notably the National Grange,
representing about million farmers, y
whose representatives sent to Samuel
Gompers the following telegram ID

Washington! "The National Grange
declines your invitation for con-
ference in Washington, December

affiliate with labor, such an Alliance
must be, followed by divorce on the
ground Of incompatibihty," IS the
opinion, Of The Pittsburg National
Stockman and Farmer, and the Peoria
Transcript believes that if the farmer
"casts his lot with the American Fed

quotes one ofl the resolutions passed
by the Farmers National Congress:
eve know that the forty four hour
week cannot feed the world, and we !,
proclaim that it cannot clothe it.p
The Cincinnati Enquirer asserts that
"the farmers thus revealed the width
Of that abyss which separates them
from the organized wage-earners Of
this country" and the Sharon Herald
observes that a'the trouble comes
from the fact that too much stress is
put upon the forty-four-hosf week.
for labor, and not enough upon labor
for the forty-four-hour week."
Declaring that the farmer cannot.
be held responsible for increase in
the cost of living that will result from
increased wages and shorter hours in
industry, the, National Grange at their
annual convention recently adopted
"a resolution to the effect that snch
