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.
"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 analyzing 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.
"1t furnishes us with valuable aatu

are affected by the use of drugs
and that different drugs cause
various changes in the voice, as we'll

the change is too slight for dascrip-
tion," asserts the writer, referring
to the voice, but
"the manner of speech is changed
to greater extent. When the NOR

phine he usually wants the floor. I
have often seen them start for some
place in great hurry; let some one
address a remark to them and they
would stop to answer it and more than
likely would talk for an hour or more

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-
tion 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 is
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
Tho voice does not rise and fall, but
continues loud and harsh all day long,
for these addcts are constant takers
At least, such has been the case with
all the ones who have come under my

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

rooms, and organized the C. N.
Wisner Home, Inc, to build homes

and turned it toward health. No
movement has been more speedily
productive of results. We are on

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

place The lungs are 'expanded,' the
man brings into play additional means
OF securing the needed oxygen, and

non. He struggles for breath; he is
