The Toughest Old
.COU Gil |
Can Now Be Stopped

Lingering coughs = the kind that
hang on and hang on and rob a man
of his sleep-the kind that makes him
peevish and all worn out.
Those are the breed of coughs that
prove that common cough syrups are
about as useful as a bottle of ginger
pop.
The quickest and surest way to get
rid of a persistent cough is to take a
teaspoonful OF Bronchuline Emulsion
four times day.
It's made to stop the old-timers-the
tough ones-and it does it without any
loss of time.
And, remember, there is no chloro-
form-no sugar-no dope in this grand
cough medicine. It's prescription for
stubborn coughs and that's the kind it
speedily conquers.
For ordinary coughs one or two
doses is usually enough. H. J. Dennis
& Co. can supply you.

Millions of Pain Spots.

Everybody knows that sticking a
needle into the flesh is a painful ex-
perience. But only those who have
experimental upon themselves with
considerable care realize that there
are many spots to be found where
needle can be thrust deeply into the
body without causing the slightest
sensation. Again. there are places
where the slightest touch of the
needles point arouses pain instantly.
These are called pain spcts," and
have been plotted out with consider
able care by psychological investiga-
tors, as seaman plots out islands on
naylgator's map. 1t is estimated
that the average number of pain spots
on the human body is about 100000.
After this discovery, it was thought
that the problem Of pain organs was
solved. Each pain spot was found to
lie near the end of a tiny nerve fibril,
and it was believed that an organ too
small to be seen with the microscope
must be attached to the nerve ending
to give rise to the feeling of pain. But
such theoretical organs have never
been found
ON the contrary, It has since been
found that only those nerves which
nave no special organs, called lend or
cams" attached to them can cause
pain at the slightest touch. But other
end organs, which at first produce a
sensation Of touch, or of cold, or of
warmth, will cause pain If the pres
sure or temperature applied to them
$ too intense The difference is only
oue OF intensity of stimulation" This
discovery has led to an entirely new
theory of pain in recent years, which
credits the nerves back of the skin
with causing sensation to be felt as
painful.
An English physician, Doctor Head.
resolved to sacrifice his own nerves to
science He had a nerve trunk cut in
his elbow, 50 that no sensations at all
could be felt in his hand and lower
forearm. Then the severed nerve was
led together and it began slowly to
heal.
As this process went on, there ap-
Peared areas on his hand where he
could feel touch, but could feel no
rnin al all, no matter how intensely
the hand was stimulated. Doctor
,eed concluded therefore. that there
must be special pain fibers in the gen
-rel nerve trunk which had been cut.

HUMAN BODY HAS
MANY PAIN SPOTS
Danger Signals Warnings Which
We Must Obey.
ARE NATURES PHONE SYSTEM

In the midst of pressing political
business President Coolidge took time
off to write a cordial letter accepting
the honorary presidency Of the Gorgas
Memorial Institute cf Tropical and
Preventive Medicine, to be established
at Panama City. Five million dollars
is to be raised for this purpose by
popular subscription, and no more diff
ficulty Is anticipated in securing this
amount than was experienced by the
Red Cross in raising funds for stricken
Japan. American generosity knows
no stint when relieving human pain is
the object In view.
Nor is this high valuation of pain
modern development. The early Ro-
man law, while recognizing slavery,
carefully prescribed the amount of
pain any master might infict upon his
slaves. During the Middle Ages,
when the value of pain was lost sight
of, great barbarity and decadence re-
suited. But English law began. grad
ually, to take account of pain If one
person injured another. the Individual
hurt could collect more damages for
his pain and suffering than could be
collected by his heirs if he were killed
outright.
American law today. In most states,
limits the damage for accidental kill
ing of another person to fixed
amount, usually about $1,000 but if
the injured individual lives. even for
few seconds, and suffers conscious
pain, there is no limit to the sum a
jury may award for his suffering
No Pain Inside of Body.
Nearly everybody instinctively
agrees with this high valuation of
pain, but very few realize the high
value that nature herself has placed
upon it in building up the human or
gansm. Pain is the danger signal,
and our bodies are so made that we
are obliged to obey it, whether we
want to or not. And the receiving
stations for this natural danger signal
are distributed over the body Just
where they will do the most good.
Scientists of ancient times believed
that the whole body, inside and out,
was sensitive to pain. Surgeons began
to operate, however. before anesthet-
les were discovered. and as a result of
this early surgery, it was found that
there were regions inside the body
where no pain at all was felt
The intestines. for instance, can be
cut and handled quite roughly with
our pain to the owner. This is a com
forting fact to remember when the
papers report thai some hardy pa
tient has taken only a local anes-
thetic, so that he can watch the op-
Grafton performed upon himself. Cut
