THERE is a widespread belief
that Oriental people have acquired a
great many secrets about medical
treatment which are unknown to ad-
vanced western civilized science-the
Chinese herb doctor. the Indian medi-
cine man, the seer Of Persia. and so
forth and so forth.
OF course, some form Of treatment
was used by savages from the
very earliest period. In fact. even
by animals. The wounded mon
key drags himself across many miles
to find the leaf of certain tree to
apply to his wounds.
The canniness Of primitive people
in medical matters is often brought
to attention. In q book wrote sew
eral years ago, called 1.-THE Human
Body, I gave the following account
of the way in which the fact that
the absence Of. the pancreas causes
diabetes was discovered:
'"The story is told that Naunyn, the
famous Straussburg physician. in
about 1899, was walking across a

The professor Of physiology had beer
performing a set of experiments in

 KIDNAP CASE
Important Papers Taken from Brother of Mrs.
 Lindbergh, Havard

TRENTON, N. J., March 2.-Theft of certain papers from the rooms of Dwight Morrow, Jr., brother of Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh, was reported from reliable sources today. It was said the theft would be the possible topic of discussion at a scheduled meeting of three New Jersey off cials. Whether any importance at tached to the papers authorities did not say. Morrow himself reported the loss to Colonel Schwarzkopf, Super intendent of state police.
 The papers disappeared from the living quarters of Morrows rooming house at Cambridge, Mass, where he is graduate student at Harvard. It was said one of the papers con- tained an itinerary of his mother who is travelling in Europe.
 Supporters of Gov. Hoffman said he heard a resolution would be in- troduced in the New Jersey Legisla- ture calling for legislative investi- gation into the conduct of the state police.
