Maidstone a Myth?

The belief that Il maidstone cures
h~ydrophobia Is an Old tradition with
no foundation. The Pasteur treatment
administered by q competent physi-
clan is the only effective treatment
known. For centuries the fallacy OF
the maidstone treatment has existed
among men. But, according to physi-
clans, M person treated with a mad
stone ever recovered II the poison Of
rabies actually found its way into the
blood. Many persons, after having
been attacked by a supposedly rabid
animal, have recovered upon the appli-
cation of a maidstone to the wound.
The madstone's effect, however, was
wholly imaginary. The history Of the
maidstone is as mythical as the efficacy
Of the stone In the treatment Of
rabies. Ii generally Is conceded, how
ever. that the "stone" was a part Of
the practice Of medicine In India In
the latter half OF the Seventeenth cen
fury. Later explorations carried II to
Europe and thence to America.

MOODS NOT Good
Reliability Always an Asset In
Ones Life.
Man Who is Swayed by Impulse. or by
His Liver. Is Not the One Who
Reaches Success.

Uncertain weather Is the worst
weather. II may be fine: II may be
wet. II you rely on the former, the
chances are that you get the latter. II
may be the other way about, too Most
annoying.
An uncertain tradesman annoys,
also. The joint Is promised by eleven
O'clock, madam. most certainly" 1t
arrives M twenty minutes to n An
other tradesman promises to send a
gastitter at once. The man comes two
days later.
That sort Of thing puts a tradesman
out Of favor and he loses custom. He
doesn't get on, and perhaps wonders
why. a writer In London Answers
states.
But tradesmen are not the only "un-
certain" folk. Nor does uncertainty
merely apply to the delivery of goods.
There's the uncertainty of mood, and
those thus afflicted are like the uncer-
tain tradesman-they don't get on.
For II is obvious that he who Is uncer-
tain, "~touchy." and disohliglng has a
self-imposed handicap in life's COM
petitive struggle.
The man Of whom Il can be said
that he Is always the same"-not a
creature Of moods, that Isis the man
who gets on. And that applies as
much to the employer as the employee.
"The boss Is in a wretched mood
this morning." said a shop assistant
recently, in the writer's hearing. I'm
hanged II I'm going TO bother about
things"

ployer or fellow workers have TO as

certain man is always unsuccessful.
He cannot keep his friends.
The policy Of a smile today and a
snap tomorrow isn't good enough. He
nalts on the ladder of success because
well. II Is obvious that he who Is
uncertain cannot be reliable.
We must master our moods and not
let them master us. That applies
equally to the uncertainty which is
chronic and that which Is occasional.
Bad or sad news may put us in a de-
pressed mood.
A money loss or an annoyance may
put US in a d~isagreeable mood. Those,
and the like, should be kept for pri-
vate consumption. We've no right TO
depress others or to penalize them for
an offense in which they have had no
part.

actly the same as II we entered a race
