Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

AS the testimonial writers say in
the history of his case. The asso-
ciation collected testimonials and
newspaper death notices of people
who wrote them. 1t was a gruesome,
but impressive collection. 1t showed
articles carried by the newspapers
regarding the deaths of the same
persons who had shortly before an
nounced in print that they were
cured. Around the words died of
tuberculosis as they occurred in
the articles a heavy black line was
drawn.
Some of the cures contain no
actual harmful ingredients. One
well advertised cure for various ills,
including tuberculosis. was shown
by analysis to be a simple concoc-
ton of sugar. salt and water. Onions
have been recommended by well
meaning laymen as a cur for con-
sumption and other foods have their
sponsors.
The danger with these remedies is
that while they may not be harmful
in themselves they may keep the pa
tient from taking the proper treat
ment. And in tuberculosis every

thing to the discussion, you are
properly pleased with your W i'm
portance. 1t is to be hoped that you
do not thenceforth proceed to
monopolize the conversation.
People ought to be able to talk
a~greeably. They should know things
that other people care to know and
be able to tell them briefly and
clearly and Interestingly. They
should leave the subject where some
one else can add something.
Some good takers are not CONVEX
sationalists; they r ex~tinguishers
of conversation. They assume that
when they have spoken there is
nothing more to be said. They are
mistaken upon that point. Having
told what they know, they should be
ready to learn.
Nor should conversation be wholly
on great themes. 1t should never be
shallow and frivolous, but there
should be gaiety and mirth as well
as the serious talk of great matters.
If you a make of yourself a
really good conversationalist, you
will confer a real boon upon society,
for there are few really good con-
versationalists. and to meet one is a
Joy.
