HAS FAITH IN HIS "CURE"
only Patient Who Tried Snake Diet
for Leprosy Died, but Doctor
Holds to His Theory.

In practicing medicine for the bene-
fit Of the natives / worked out one
theory In regard to leprosy, which is
a fairly common ailment I'm the Arch
ipelago. l asked myself why, since a
snake sheds its skin, man who is
afflicted with disease should not be
able to do the same thing.
In Singapore there was a rich Chi
nese leper, known as Ong 81 Chew,
who asked me repeatedly why l did
not bring him some new remedy for
his disease. Since he had n large
household OF servants who took care
Of him, and his own carriages and
rlchshas when he travelled, he was
allowed to live untroubled by the au-
thorlties; but he was very unhappy,
because he had tried all the remedies
Of the native doctors and was stead
iT growing worse.
At last told hfm that l had some
thing that might help. He asked me
what it was, but would not tell him.
When he insisted, l answered,
Snakes"
"Ul-la" he exclaimed, waving his
arms in the air.
Then / explained my theory. The
ability Of a snake to shed his skin
might be transferred to a human be-
ing II he ate snakes; and If so, the
person would be able to shed his lep-
rosy. Ong 81 Chew did not care for
the idea at all, but l told him it was
worth trying and I argued that snake
is much cleaner than an eel.
At last he consented, and ! furnished
him with a number Of small pythons,
with the instructions that they were
TO be killed and cleaned Immediately
before they were eaten. He was to
eat them raw with his rice.
l left Singapore soon after that and
when l returned I found that ODg 81
Chew had died. People thought 1t was
a great joke on me because my patient
had not survived the treatment, but
am far from being convinced that the
cure viii not work-or, at least, help
to throw Off leprosy. Ong 81 Chew
was in the last stages Of the disease,
and his case was not a fair test

a curious and ingenious imitation
of Spanish saffron has been brought
to light by chemists of the United
States Agricultural department in a
recent consignment Of dyestuffs. SAT-
from, obtained chiefly from southern
Europe, is a yellow dye consisting of
the stigmas Of the crocus, and, as
more than 1000 flowers are required
for an ounce the material is some
what expensive. Samples Of the sus
pected importation proved on analysis
to be flowers of common plant re
semhiing the Scotch thistle. These
had been cOlored with red and blue
dyes. weighted with saltpeter, Borax
and glycerine, favored with something
like saffron oil, and crinkled to give a
close resemblance to the dried crocus

We shifted the load to the

under the burden. Meanwhile
we got busy and started to work
with the big machine in order
to get her back into service as

to make the necessary repair
we had to remove the head,
take out the proken parts and
