The above Is taken from Q
statement received few days ago
from Mrs. C. H. Louden, Clemens
Avenue, Boston, Va, who Is wide
" known In that section, having
resided In Boston for the past
eleven years. Continuing with
her statement she said, Eyes, be-

have lost all his energy and was
losing in weight. He suffered 80
with his stomach that he could
not enjoy q good meal. and what
little he ate caused him q great
deal Of suffering as his food
would sour and ferment and ne
would bloat with gas that formed,

rheumatic pains and neuritis. said
he felt completely worn out and
he looked 1t. Several weeks ago
he began using the Herb Extract
formerly called Herb Juice) and
in a very short time I noticed
that he was on the road to i'm
provement. He said the medicine
was a wonderful system cleanser
and as the poison waste was elm

to his great relief gas and 1ndl-

him. He now eats three hearty
meals o day, says he has more

Owing to the great demand for

It necessary to place another rep

time and money on the study of it, since it is the sole organ concerned in the maintenance of civilization.
 It was formerly thought that mass was perhaps the sole determining fac tor in gauging the power of the hu- man brain, but science knows now that that is not true. Balance and the mys- terious convolutions that are SO mo- ticeable in mans brain are now be. lieved to be truer indications of in. telligence.
 Yet mass is certainly one determin. ing factor. When the human brain falls short of thirty-two ounces its owner is an imbecile. No exception has been found to this rule by science, but on the other hand some great men have had comparatively small brains. The brain of Anatole France weighed only thirty-six ounces.
 Professor Constantin Economo, . distinguished Vlennese neurologist, has recently made an exact census of the living units within the cortex or gray matter, which is the essential part of the human brain. He found that . man with brain weighing forty-eight ounces had in the neighborhood of fourteen billion living units. or neurons, in the gray matter.
 These units were bodies giving of living filaments, or nerve fibers, and the latter connected with all parts of the body like the telegraph system of 2 great city. The filaments made up seventy per cent of the brain matter and the neurons. or living cells, only four per cent.
 From this brief description of the marvelously intricate and sensitive system of broadcasting that goes on constantly in the human body it i, easy to see how even slight differences between the brains of monkeys and those of men can produce enormous differences in the quality of intelli. gence produced by the two instru. ments.
 The telegraph system that is made of neurons and filaments in the mon. keys brain is much less complicated than the similar system in mans brain because of the smaller number of Assures and the fundamental differ ence in structure discovered by Nile. Coupin.
 But most important of all. the indi. cations point to the truth of the girl scientists assertion that the monkeys brain lacked from the first the possi- bility of continued development that obviously exists in the human brain.
 The dividing line between the i've types of brain Is sharp. It should be a comfort to all of us to know thai our brains can develop until long after maturity and that ws ourselves can contribute to that development.
New Britain herald., 1929-06-28

Mile. Coupin believes that this difference in the brain Assures gives us the most important key in deciding just why man is more in. telligent than the monkey. This dis. covery. combined with the others just enumerated. also support the girl scientists contention that even the highest form of ape life is separated definitely from that of man.
 She believes that in prehistoric days, when mans intelligence was only moderately developed, the physical structure of his brain was much the same as it is now. Be. cause of the latent power he pos sessed man was able to make steady progress and develop his mind.
 The monkey, even in his highest form, had no such opportunity. The physical handicaps of his brain structure. which have been known to some extent, but have never be- fore been carefully measured and

Then the rever- sion to savagery would make its ap. pearance, just as it does to a more pro- nounced extent with . baby lion. And the brain-case of the skull, which had re- sembled that of . human beings at birth, would slowly change in shape as the monkey brain flattened out toward the back of the head.
 The study of the brain of man has been one of the most baffling and prolonged in the his tory of science. Sir Arthur Keith, fa- nous British scien- tist, has called it Natures m a s ter piece and suggested t at governments should spend more

has striven to answer within the past one hundred years is: Did man descend from the same source as the monkey? Court battles, debates and even fist fights have resulted from the sharp differences of opinion. Now come the startling discoveries of . girl scientist in Paris which may soon set tie the matter once and for all.
 The young woman is Mile. Coupin, daughter of . professor at the Sor- bonne University and granddaughter of the famous French mathematician, Victor Coupin. For the past five years she has worked quietly and obscurely in a Paris laboratory, studying the brains of men and monkeys and meas uring them.
 Recently she read before the French Academy of Science paper revealing her findings. The reading took place behind closed doors, but after it was over the foremost scientists of France united to award Mile. Coupin the high est honor. of their organization.
 The girl scientists discoveries sup. port the newest theory that man did NOT descend from the monkey. but belonged from the first to branch of the animal family closely associated to the monkey group. Mile. Coupin found that . monkeys brain is funda. mentally different from the brain of . man and does not develop in the same way. She also discovered just why the monkeys brain stops devel oping at a very early, age and why mans continues to develop. Experts say her new facts on brain growth will completely revolutionize many old theories on animal intelligence.
 In this article the word monkey is used to denote all forms of ape and monkey life. But before we consider in detail the results of Mile. Coupin's findings, let us set down the high lights of her facts.
 The brains of monkeys attain their full size when the animals are between the ages of two and three years.
 The brains of human beings reach full size at some point between the ages of seven and fifteen. Some human brains go on growing much longer than others.
 The physical development of mans brain, which is different from increase in size, continues much longer. It generally stops between the ages of thirty and forty, but his intelligence can and does continue to develop long after the actual development of the brain stops.
 The development of intelligence in the monkey, on the other hand, seems to stop between the ages of two and three, when the actual growth of his brain stops.
 The brain of the average human being decreases in volume from the age of forty to ninety, even though his intelligence may continue at full force or even seem to increase.
 The brain cells of women endure the test of time better than the brain cells of men

tested, were such that they could not be overcome.
 Man and monkey both lived in the wilderness in ancient times and the! were surrounded by enemies. It would seem as if the monkey had the advan- tage in that environment because his brain was so much finer an instrument at birth than baby's. But the baby was protected by his parents, 50 that he overcame the head-start which the monkey had. By the time the baby was grown up he had out-stripped his anthropoid brother of the forests.
 But man left the forest and created towns and cities until, finally. he dominated the life of the entire world. The monkey, on the other hand. stayed in the jungle because his retarded brain development did not permit him to create any other life for himself.
 Many scientists have believed that with the proper training monkeys could be taught to talk and so over come their jungle environment, but no one has ever been able to teach 8 monkey the language of human beings. Mile. Coupin's experiments explain conclusively just why these patient ex' periments have resulted in failure.
 No power in the hands of man could make the monkeys brain develop be- yond the point that Nature had arbi- trarily set for it. Chimpanzees, the most highly developed of the apes, have been taught to do many extraor- dinary things when they were young. In every case, however, the training came to an abrupt stop as the little animal reached maturity.

at birth than . baby and the physi. cal contours of his brain are moro highly developed than the baby's brain.
 After birth the chimpanzee or the gorilla develops much more rapidly than the baby-for a short time. But when the monkey is two or three years old an abrupt change comes. The animal has reached it. full development and from then on it degenerates and brute propensi- ties make their appearance. On the other hand the child goes on de veloping as his brain grows.
 A table of brain weights com piled by Mile. Coupin shows that the body of an unborn child weighs five times as much as its brain, while the body of an unborn gorilla weighs sixteen times as much as it's brain. But when the child grows up it's body weighs thirty-two times as much as its brain while the gorillas body is two hundred times heavier than its brain.
 There are no definite contours in the brains of monkeys before birth, which remain, but in man these con- tours are definite and they nevel change essentially in shape.
 The brain of monkey slightly re sembes that of a man at birth, bu as the monkey grows older the brail gradually becomes elongated and fiat This is illustrated by the two photo graphs of chimpanzee on this page.
