Irwin Whats smashing western melo-
drama, 1.-THE Enchanted HILL" adapted
by James Hamilton from Peter B.
Kyne's latest and greatest novel, which
appeared serially in the Cosmopolitan
Magazine.
Here is an up-to-the-minute story
of adventure, conflict, mystery and in
trigue, mellowed by wholesome ro-
nance and rich in comedy. that estab-
fishes new standard in outdoor pro-
auctions. 1t marks a radical Depart
ure from the old, stereotyped western
movie because it develops along brand
new and wholly modern lines.
Jack Holt is ideally cast in the lead
ing role and Florence Vidor brings both
talent and loneliness to the part Of
Gail Ormsby. Noah Berry has char
acteristically villainous portrayal, and
Mary Brian is her usual winsome self
as Hollis younger sister.

Horrible Methods of Treating the Insane
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES '

Until within the last century insane
persons were treated with terrible
cruelty in nearly all civilized" coun-
tries. and as late as ITO lunatics were
exhibited at public fairs in England
and as late as 1915 there were ex-
posures of terrible cruelties in the
bethlehem hospital in England. and
this led to gradual improvements and
the introduction of enlightened and
scientific methods in the care of the
mentally afflicted.
One of the mildest of the old forms
of treatment of mad people, and long
in vogue at Strathfillan, in Perthshire,
Scotland was connected with the OBJ
servance of the festival of st. Fillan,
Il Scottish saint.
Insane people were dipped in the
"holy pool" where st. Fillan had
bathed in the Seventh century. Many
quaint ceremonies were connected
with this "ducking." After the i'm
mersion the lunatics were herded to
st. Fillan's chapel. and strapped to
the floor, to be left all night.

POINTS ON

DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
DANGERS OF GAS POI.
SONING
II Il Il ktsxxktsxsx
&c. 1926. Western Newspaper Unton.l

THE old story, prime favorite in
- comic magazines and burlesque,
shows of generation ago, of the man
from the country who went to the
city and who blew out the gas, is now
back number. This for two reasons:
first, every intelligent person knows
the danger Of Illuminating gas poison
ing and second, electric light has
largely displaced gas. But even today,
in many smaller towns and in older
houses, gas Is still the principal
means of illumination.
Every one knows the danger Of the
open gas jet. Illuminating gas, carbon
mOnoxide, as the chemists call 1t, Is
a deadly poison. Ordinary water gas
contains about 80 per cent Of carbon
monoxide. Its danger lies in the eff
feet which it has on the hemglobin in
the blood. When breathed into the
lungs, even in small quantities, the
carbon monOxide unites with the hem
globin to form a stable compound and
when this compound is formed, then
the hemglobin will not unite with the
oxygen In the air, so the victim dies
from lack Of oxygen just the same as
he would IL he were lying in twenty
feet Of water. And the trouble is
that once the compound between the
carbon monoxide and the hemglobin is
formed, it is impossible to break 1t
up no matter how much air is pumped
into the lungs. This explained why, in
cases of gas poisoning, the face Is
dark and the blood is so thick that 1t
will hardly run through the vessels.
The danger of poisoning, by car
bon monoxide gas, either from gas
Jets or from coal gas from stoves and
furnaces, is well known. What is not
recognized is the danger of slow poi
sOning by very small quantities of
gas escaping from leaky pipes, burns
ers or gas stoves. In recent issue
of the Journal of the American
Medical Association DIR. A. NJ. Stevens
of New York reports several cases,
one fatal, of poisoning of young chill
dren from leaks so small as to be
unnoticeable.
Doctor Stevens points out that the
younger the child, the greater the
danger, as older children who go to
school and play outdoors are less SUBJ
ject to poisoning than younger chill
dren who are constantly in the house
and often in the same room.
In the fatal case reported, a child,
seven weeks old, was brought to the
hospital in a dying condition. Inspec-
tionFof the house showed a leak in the
central gas fixture in the living room,
where the baby's crib stood. The
mother also showed some symptoms of
gas poisoning, which disappeared
when the leak was stopped.

ANGIONEUROTIC
EDEMA

MOST disorders of the human body.
AVA from their symptoms, the effect
which they produce and their evident
connection with some cause, are at
least partially understood. But some
conditions are so rare, strange and
mysterious that about all scientific
men can do is to give them a name
and describe them so that other in
vestigators can recognize them, leav-
ing 1t to future generations to learn
their causes, if possible.
Among the strangest of these I'M
usual conditions is what is called an
gioneurotic edema. Here, as in some
other rare disease, the name sounds
as though something definite was
known about it. An edema is what
is popularity called dropsy or rather,
to put it the other way round, what is
popularity called dropsy is one kind
of edema: that is, collection OF
watery fluid from the blood In the
loose spaces under the skin or mucous
membrane. This particular form is
purely local swelling, coming on sud-
denly, lasting only short time and
covering only a small area and, ap-
parently, without any cause or con-
nection with other bodily conditions.
In 1882, when Quincke first described
it, he assumed that it must have some
connection with the nerves and blood
vessels, so he called it "dropsy caused
by the nerves and blood vessels"
But giving disease a name does
not explain it, so Quincke and various
authorities since his time have offered
various explanations. Some said it
was caused by nervous conditions,
others that it was caused by some
poison.

cially the eyelids, the lips, or the

Whether actually hereditary or not,

mOnths-old baby, where the swelling
developed in the throat and the baby
