SEVEN SENSES HE SAYS.

Cleveland, July 2G.-The best treat.
ment for ulcers of the stomach which
usually result in cancer, is preven-
ton, DR.. s. V. Robuck of Chicago
declared today before the Twenty-fifth
Annual Convention of the American
Osteopathic Association. Ulcers Of
the stomach are caused by the slinker
slouch he said.
When assuming the posture Of
slinker slouch," DR.. Robuck said, the
back loses its normal curve and the
individual becomes round shouldered
the chest flat and narrow, and the
lower abdomen pouchy and ulging.
Cancers are usually caused from
ulcers of the stomach Ulcers are
due to disturbed nourishment of the
stomach"

ders, robberies and other crimes often

Man Has Seven Senses.
The traditional five senses" are
relegated TO ancient history. Many
really has seven senses, according to
DR.. eileen S. Moore Of Chicago. who
told of the discovery of two senses, in
a technical paper which he read today
| in the eye. ear, nose and throat sec
ton Of the national osteopathic con-
vention in this city. Dr. AIoose said
For centuries man has been credited
| with only five senses. Only recently
has sixth sense come to be recog'
nized as that of muscle and joint
sense by means OF which the indi-
yidual IS able TO perform coordinate
acts automatically and unconsciously.
Recent studies Of the internal ear
have revealed the fact that the semi.
circular canals constitute a seventh
sense, which has been termed the
kinetic static sense.
Really there are seven special
senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell
touch. muscle sense, kinetic static
sense Perfect equilibrium is main
tanned by these special senses working
In unison. a war time utilization Of
I varieties Of tests was adopted by the
board Of examiners for the air.serv-
ice departments in order to test the
equllibratiye powers Of prospective
aviators and their adaptability for fly
ing.
The tests consist In stimulating
the semi-circular canals This is ac-
complished by means OF turning the
person In a chair especially prepared
for the purpose or by douchlng the
ear with water. either not or cold.
Such stimulation produces definite
phenomena such as dizziness known as
vertigo.
Because Of this vertigo q patient
will fall in a definite direction and
will be unable with his eyes closed
to find an object which he has pre-.
viously touched with his fingers or
foot but pastponts to the right left,
above or below the object, depending
upon the direction OF the vertigo
The phenomena OF falling and past
pointing are always present in mol
nal individuals ant follow certain de-
finite laws. For example, II the head
Is In the uprigh: position. because Il
stimulates the vertical canals. douch-
Ing the night ear with cold water
