Some day the BAN is going to

Nature Good Physician

A Boston doctor, who has been
giving some suggestions to his fell
low doctors on the treatment of ac-
cidental wounds, says the main
thing to do with a wound is 10 let
nature do her best and not inter
fere too much with her. -
Nature, he points out, says the
Pathfinder Magazine. prevents In
lection by various methods. Blood
washes out the wound, carries away
a certain amount OF the foreign
matter, including bacteria. The
blood also contains certain amt
bodies.' which act as chemical an
tiseptics and kill bacteria. Nature,
he claims. repairs wounds by bath
ing the injured tissues with serum
which contains cell blood, and with
white blood cells, which absorb and
digest badly damaged tissue.

Last of Aztec Rulers

Montezuma was the last ruler Of
the AZtecs of Mexico. whose fame
is due chiefly to his conflict with
the Spanish conquerOr, Hernand'
CorteZ. Montezuma had been rul-
ing II years in Mexico when the
Spaniards arrived. His rule was so
weak, however, that the invaders. a
mere handful in numbers compared
TO the native population, soon es-
tablished themselves securely.
MonteZuma was taken prisoner.
and when the Aztecs could no long
er tolerate the Overhearing conduct
of the Spanish they called on Mon
tezuma's brother TO lead a revolt.
While this rebellion was in prog
ress MOntezuma died. Some say
he was killed by the Spaniards, and
the invaders themselves gave out
the story that he was killed by a
stone hurled by oDe of the revolters.
while he was attempting to quiet
them from the Oom OF the palace.
