Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 peia, the Health Magazine

One Of the most serious conditions that may affect man is bichloride of mercury poisoning.
 Some years ago banker Tn Georgia took bichloride of mer- cury and during the ten days that passed before his death. newspa- pars reported constantly the vari- ous symptoms. The mere publlca- ton of these facts and the publicity associated resulted in numerous cases. because of the suggestive pos- abilities inherent in such publicity
 For many years it has been thought that raw eggs, the white of eggs and milk have special value in the treatment Of such poisoning. As pointed out by Dr. Torald Sollmann and his col leagues they form combinations with the mercury which delay its absorption from the stomach. At the same time, they serve to coat the lining of the stomach to pro- tect it against contact with the poison.
 1T lIp mercury Itllidiiis' III tA'1 body death occurs. A physician, therefore. promptly empties the stomach by washing it out when he Is called to treat person who has swallowed such tablets.
 It is advisable, in bichloride of mercury poisoning, to give eggs and milk immediately 10 delay the absorption of the poison and its irritating effects on the stomach wall, and the stomach should be pumped out as soon as possible.
 If the stomach contains a con- siderable amount of undigested food the washing out Is difficult, and it is necessary to put in wa ter and pump it out rapidly sev- eral times in order to get the mer- cury out. Experiments made on animals indicate that 1t is best to give a glass of milk or two first and then several raw eggs. Ap- parently the use of egg white alone does not have any advan- tage over the whole egg.
 If the tablets have been swal- lowed dry. and If milk Is not available, at least a half glass of water should he given just before the eggs to prevent the cementing of the tablets by the white of the eggs. But it is most important of all to pump out the stomach as soon as possible, because this pro- cedure removes the mercury from the body and prevents its action upon the kidneys. the primary cause of a fatal result.

NEW YORK, December 24.-With
$253, O0O, 900, the fourth largest weekly
aggregate OF the year. the market for
listed bonds turned extremely dull to-
dav. Trading was in the smallest
volume of any Saturday half-holiday
in several weeks.
The absence of many traders ut the
approach of the holiday and the ten
dcncv to limit commitments accounted
for the SlowneSS OF the days trans
actions. Week end profttaking did
not reach extensive proportions. and
continued ease In the time money
market supplied a firm foundation for
quotations.
Activity in domestic issues was con
fined to a few convertible issues which
have been in the forefront recently.

Some of the prominent railroad
liens were easy. but without any def.
mite signs of selling pressure. Public
utility issues attracted very little at
tertion.
About 100000 in Third Liberty

Foreign issues were neglected. A
