When Attacked by Disease the Body Begins to Manufac- ture a Cure. Every soldier, &ailor, and ex -service- man is fainiliar with the 'operation of -Inkulatione But what really is thtr3 process of inoculation which is at- ' tended by such magical results? ' The dictionary tells us that iuocu- la nti�1'� ts, "thetconimunieetioii of a dis- ea1 "by the insertion of infectious matter into the system." To a certain extent this is true, the newest method of preventive medicine being founded on the sound principle of setting a thief to patch a thief. • • But the essential principle of inocu- lation as understood to -day is the rais- • ing of the resisting powers of the blood against disease germs. It must be borne in mind that the healthy blood of a perfectly fit human being is of the nature of an all powerful and living germicide, competent to deal with and finally destroy the germs of any disease that may have invaded it, 'Microbes, though invisible to the naked eye, are gonstantly about us. We can no more escape their pressing attentions than we can dodge the pressure of the atmosphere. Our blood, then, while healthy, maintains a constant vigil on the ever - threatening microscopic army await- ing a chance to invade our bodies. The moment a few disease germs manage to effect an entry, be it through the lungs or swallowed with food or drink, 'or implanted by a sting, a pin -prick, a rusty nail, a bite, or any other wound, the wonderful intelligence de- partment of the body'signals the news through the nervous system to head- quarters. Mobilization of all the complex de- fensive forces of the blood takes place at once. The white cells of the blood class in their millions at the point of danger, giving the invaders an exceedingly warm reception. These white cells are the effective lighting units of the defensive farce, tho bet- terknown red cells forming the trans- ,4a‘ rans- p t and commissariat service. Their t 'i'ticular j.,b is to fall upon, gobble ail, and entirely diest and annihilate the enemy i71:1'iviuually and collective- ly; and this they do effectively so long as- their number is equal to the task. Why You Should Take Exercise. The white cells are, however, enormously helped in their fight by the use of a special kind of "munition" analogous to poison gas, used in a liquid form as a spray, to which the most malignant of enemy Terms must finally succumb. This anti -toxin (or. counter -poison) is always produced automatically by healthy blood im- mediately it is attacked by disease germs. When attacked by disease, the body at once begins to manufacture, and cure itself by, its own medicine. That is why every infective disease, if it does not kill the patient, automatical- ly comes to an end. Were it not a fact that every infective disease stimu- lates the production in the body of its own antidote, which finally kills the original disease, there Is no particular reason why measles, or mumps, or in- fluenza, or any other catching "com- plaint," should not continue fes years. The mgdern treatment of tubercle by the injection or inoculation of tuber- culin is founded on this principle of arousing the blood to the formation of the necessary antidote, which in course of time, provided the conditions ,t are favorable, puts an end to the original disease—tubercular consump- tion. Auto-iaoculdtion or self -inoculation may also be, produced in consumptives • by a system of graduated exercises, which rouse the resisting powers of the body by raising what is called by scientists the "opposite index" of the blood. This opsonic index is a mea- sure of the rapidity with which the white cells eat any given germs in the blood. The name is formed from the Greek word "opson," which means a sauce, or seasoning, or anything that -cakes the morsel more tempting. - These sauces are manufactured and used by the blood to make the disease germs so tempting to the white blood - cells that the former devour them with a relish that makes them greedy for more! Exorcises graduated according to the condition of the tuberculous patient also act curatively by greatly improv- ing the appetite, with resulting stimu- lation of digestion, absorption, and distribution throughout the system of food elements. It Was a Wonderful Watch. "Lik- a lift, sir?" said the country- man, civilly, as he overtook a foot - worn traveler on the dusty road. As they jogged along they chattered about all :worts of things. Presently the of 1 chap pulled out a watch of the tur- nip variety. "Can 'ee tell me the teime. sir.?" he asked. (er tailay. it is 3 o'clock," replied the other, : s he watched the driver set his ws Leh at twelve. Then he si ripped hen. "1' said three o'clock, not twelve," he added. "Oh, that be all right, sir!" said the certer, as be slipped his timepiece into his pocket. "Her'll soon make that oop. Her be a wonderful goer!" Strength Can Only be Regained by Enriching the Blood.. Following a wide spread epidemic of Influenza, general debility is on the itiorease, and its effects may be no- ticed iu the worn listless appearance of so many of the men and wonienyou meet. Inflneztza always leaves behind' It impaired vitality, and with the modern conditions of life that use up nerve force so rapidly, - general-de-bility becomes one of the' most cent.; mon maladies, The symptoms of de- bility vary, ;but weal[nees is always present. There is poor digestion, Alan. gour, weak, aching back, wakefulness at night, often distressing headaches and a feeling of fatigue, These symp- tonis indicateiniyure and impoverished blood, It is.signiflcanttof nearly every attack of influenza that it is followed by anaemia and debility. For all. such run-down conditions, new blood is the most reliable cure. Sufferers should at once begin to make thin blood rich and rod with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Under a fair treatment with this mediaiue they will realize more and more the health -re- storing influence of good rich blood, and how this new blood brings a feel- ing of new strength and increased vi- tality. Proof is given in the case of Mrs. G. Robertson, Wingham, Ont., who says:—"When the Spanish. in- fluenza sprea.cj, over our town I hap- pened to be one of the first attacked, and the attack was a very severe one, and worse still, the after effects of the trouble ]eft me in continuous misery. I had severe pains In my side, felt low-spirited, and with no ambition whatever. My head ached almost con- tinually, my eyes felt heavy, and Pimples broke out on my face. I was advised to try pr, Williams' Pink Pills, and after e taking n g diem for a time I felt like my old self, able to do my housework, and feeling well and strong. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the seri- ous after-effects of influenza as I am sure they .will restore all sufferers to good health," You can get these Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. At times it is proper to be thankful that you are not as other man are; for instance, when you live in a good farming community, and the "other men" are hived in the cities. World Shortage in c el1ns. The jewelry trade is expe.ctiug a doartli of precious,atones, sale' a Lon- don despatch. That is :attributable to tw.dl'lnain causes, The output ,tell dur- ing the war and a new demand has boon created by ,the redistribution of money brought about by war, The great nouveaux rich class must be^ catered to. With :regard to diamonds. the de ,Beers interests and a' London syndicate of +some half dozen firms, control what represeuta front its to 98 ;per cent. of the world's output. A few diamonds come from Brazil, British Guinea, India, Borneo,,and the Congo, but not enough to effect the !Market, • The output from the South African mines has not been up to pre-war level in recent. years. Plstribution has pr"o- j eeeded on the rationing principle, varied by the syndicate according to circumstances, Thus Antwerp, has been allotted a good Share to assist in 'the rehabilitation of the Belgian'dia- mond cutting industry. There are also developing markets in India and Japan, to which consideration has to be given. It is estimated, however, that Ameri- ca still absorbs her pre-war proportion of diamonds, which was three' -fourths of the total output. There Is always a' superabundance of money for those costly luxuries in the, United States. Many more high grade stones could be sold there if only they could be ob- tained, notwithstanding that prices are now something like three times those of 1914 for certain qualities. No manufacturer whose business is ordinarily dependent on diamonds can keep his factory going on the supplies now available and their energies are being diverted as far as may be jnto other channels. A certain number of old diamonds cut by past generations of craftsmen are being put on the lharket to relieve the shortage. They are not greatly sought after by the trade, however, because the progress of art and the changes of fashion put so many of them hopelessly out of date. They are generally "square and lumpy," where- as the present day style aims at a per- fectly rounded effect. Old stones do not pay to recut for general commerce on account of the wastage and the high rates to which this class of labor has advanced. The human body is subject to some 2,400 diseases, but normally a person is liable to seventeen, and physicians say probably will experience only half a dozen.

You simply apply a few drops of freezone on a tender, aching corn and soreness is instantly relieved. Short- ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, without pain. This drug is .sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin.

It was the commercial -room, and the conversation had turned on the topic of the powers of endurance shown by men of the past and present. During a lull in the conversation one young commercial said; "Any man, if he has -the will -power, can endure pain or fatigue; I know I can." Silence for a moment, and an "old man of the road" replied: "I'll bet you a dollar you can't laeld your foot—boots on—in a bucket of hot water as long as I can!" The bet was taken, and two buckets of hot water were brought in, and a kettle of boiling water to raise the temperature to the point of endurance. The young one's face began to pale, but the other called for more boiling water. "What the deuce is your leg made of, sir?" yelled the former, suddenly taking his foot from the bucket. "Cork, sir—cork!" was the cool ans- wer, and the other man felt that he had indeed lost. MONEY ORDERS. Send Send a Dominion Express Money Order. They are payable everywhere. Vivisecting the Frog. The frog is the vivisectionist's fav- orite victim, not because his structure is at all human -like (though lie is built somewhat like a man), but for the reason that he will endure being chop- ped up to a remarkable extent and still retain life. If his brain be re- moved he can get along without it, swallowing whatever is put into his mouth and otherwise behaving much as usual, though in automatic fashion, If the lungs are cut out he will survive for a long time because he can breathe through his skin. The corpuscles of his blood being remarkably large, that fluid serves admirably for the instruc- tion of the seeker after medical know- ledge. "With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.
