FRESHMAN CLASS

By the help of our instructor, Mr..
Jones, the freshmen have been study
ing an interesting unit in science call
ed, Air in the Service of Man"
They have learned that the earth
would became desert like the moon
if it were not for air. People who
lived long ago found out interesting
facts about the air. A learned Greek
proved that air had weight. Priestley
an Englishman, discovered that oxy-
gen could be separated from other
gases in the air. Lavoisier, an Eng
lishman, discovered that oxygen caus-
ed things to burn, and Henry Caven-
dish discovered carbon dioxide in the
air. Scientists have found that air
not only supports combustion but with
out it plants and animals could not
live. Air is also very useful in carry
ing sound.

CRISFIELD PHYSICIAN IN
ON IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

The discovery of native African
plant growing in the Everglades of
Florida, and used by the Seminole In
dams of that territory in the treat
ment of burns by DR.. Creston Collins,
son of DIR. C. E. Collins of Crisfield,
and the transformation of that plant
into solution that would stand trans
porting by the senior Doctor Collins
has been declared marvellous by medi-
cal men throughout the country.
The lilly-like plant, aloe vera, has
been osed successfully in the treat
ment of sunburn, X-ray burns, and
deep-rooted searings from radium, ac-
cording to physicians and skin spec
ialists, since the local health official
put it on the market last spring.

Fermentation, and had tried it on a
wide variety of practical cases that
the solution was presented to the med
zeal world. At the meetings of the
American Medical Association, held in
Atlantic City last spring, Dr. C. E.
Collins, exhibited his product.
Some of the specialists on burns,
ever alert to find newer and better
treatments, carried the solution back
to their work, were pleased with the
results and hence, since that time de-
mad for the product has been ever
increasing.
Last week, among the orders re-
ceived by the General & Marine Lab
oratory, in Crisfield, of which DIR. C.
E. Collins is chief, was one from the
United States Government Hospital
in Washington. It is understood that
the government hospital had found
samples satisfactory, and placed quite
large order.
While the experimental work with
the plant is not over, results obtained
are so satisfactory that there is
known therapeutic value of a mark
ed quantity and quality in it that is
recognized by eminent medical men,
and for that reason alone, the discov-
cry is termed marvellous.
