Though modern medical science has, decided that pneumonia Is an infectious disease that fact need not terrify if one take a little trouble to learn some- thing about the disease. dt is produced ty a special microbe the eeistence of which is so common in the mouth of even healthy individ.ols that it is con. sidered almost as a normal Inhabitant of the upper part of the digestive tract. Cno reason why the saliva of a human being is likely to prove fatal to animals if injected subcutaneously is because the special property of the germ Is 10 produce' pus whenever it gains entrance directly under the tissues. It does not produce a purulent inflammation In pneumonia, because it lies on the mucous membrane -of the lungs, but does not gain an entrance into the tissues. Sometimes it finds its way into the blond but does not produce serious results unless the patient is much run down. From these facts it can be seen that the problem of the method by which Pneumonia is contracted is exceedingly difficult. The presence of the germ to not sufficient - alone to produce the dis- efse, but there must be a certain pre- disposition on the part of the patient, followed by the deposition of this germ en a mucous membrane. Though the method of the distribution of the disease is not known definitely it is acquired by mingling with crowds at a time when one Is extremely tired, or when, for some season or other, the in- terval since taking food has been tenger than usual. Dr. Anders, who is an auUmrily on climatology, says in an article on lo- bar gnumania— nThe coincidence ofox- (dinlow temperatures, high baromet- ric pressure, the direction and velocity of the wind and maximum mortality from pneumonia is so uniformly eon - steel as to suggest a close and direct relation between their combined influ- ence and the progress at mortality from pneumonia. But," he adds, "the ma- im' influence exerted by the seasons, hcwever, is probably not direct, that re, by a toweling of the bodily temperature resistance due to the low temperature, digit barometric pressure, direction and velocity of the wind, etc., but indirect, namely, by bringing about that effec- tive element in the causation, concen- tration and increased virulence of the specific poison in consequence of closed doors and windows and lack of free ventilation." From these facts we see that we may procure immunity from pneumonia try healthy living, and that sanitary condi- tions are needed rather than protective serums. The Japanese give us a lesson in this, for they are essentially a peo- ple who live in fresh air and sunshine. Personal cleanliness is another factor ru the prevention of tuberculosis and pneu- monia, which are house diseases. GENTIAN AS A CURE FOR MALARIA. The root of gentian, often used as a tonic, is considered in many malarial countries a remedy against intermittent fever. Especially is this tate case in Corsica in that section of the island near the town of AlerIa, which is infested with malaria. The inhabitants recently protested violently against the introduc- tion of quinine on the part of the medi- cal authorities, declaring that they would not abandon the remedy which had been used among the islanders for centuries, namely, the gentian root either powder- ed or simply masticated. Tancret de- clared that he has extracted from this root a hitherto unknown substance, which belongs to the chemical classifica- tion of glucoses. s, Thi she calls genztom- crtna, and experiments in the laboratory prove that it possesses the same delet. erious action upon the malaria bacillus es does quinine. Here, then, we have another example of hoar popular instinct eflen anticipates with certain sureness the discoveries of science. AIR AND SKIN. It people would only realize that air is the chief food of the skin, they would understand how very important a con. slant supply of 1t is to health, and, therefore, to the looks. Small wonder that when we go a railway journey we are semi -asphyxiated roving to the manner in which our fellow -travellers insist on shutting both windows. If people would only accustom their lungs to receive constant instalments of fresh air, there would not be a half nor a tenth part of the susceptibility to ohill and catarrh that now exists. APENDICITIS. Now -o -days there Is a tendency to op- erate on every case of appendicitis. All the can say is that Is is as great a mis- tette to rush hastily for a surgeon in such cases as it is to put off sending for the physician when the patient, is ill. Hundreds of canes recover with opera- tion, end some few only get better after an operation has been performed. In the simpler cases medical treatment, [lone is required, but this must be car - tied out with extreme care and watch- fulness. 4 WIFE ATE DOG'S MEAT.

Man Who Was Insane for Two Veers Is Finally Cured. To use his own words the last two years have been "as a night' to Conrad Koenig, a young business man of Ta- maqua, Penn.,. His experience has, it is said, been without precedent, and fs awakening great interest in medical cir- cles all over the country. Two years ago, while Koenig was walking along the street on a blustery winter morning, he slipped and fell on the ice, striking violently on his head. He was partially stunned, but soon re- covered and thought little of the acci- dent. A few weeks later he became mo- rose and manifested lapses of memory. Elis condition rapidly became mars seri- ous, and in a short time he became a raving maniac, His family is one of the wealthiest in Tamaqua, and he was taken to various sanitariums and place - ea under treatment, but all to no avail. Finally it became necessary to place him in an insane asylum. As a last resort Dr. A. B. Fleming, a graduate of the Medico -Chirurgical Col- lege of Philadelphia, was called in on the. case. He ea•efully went over his history, learned of ICoenig's fail two years ago and decided that the disorder of his brain was due to a depression of the skull. A superficial examination tended to confirm this theory, and he decided to trephine the sleull. With the assistance of other surgeons, Dr. Fleming perform- ed the operallon. With a conical ire. phine auger he bored a hole in the back of the head at the spot where the cen- tre of visual and mucular memories is located. The auger is so constructed that it penetrates the skull bone and removes a circular piece of the bone, which the physicians call a button. Four of these buttons were removed, each about an inch from the other. Then Dr, Fleming g chilled out the square piece of boar., He found that the inner table of the skull had been depressed about an eighth of an lnoh. This depression !rriCM"led the brain and finally brought about insan- ity. When Koenig recovered from the ef- fent of The ether he had inhaled he sank into a deep, peaceful sleep, and finally awoke somewhat dazed. This gradual- ly wore off, and he took up the threads of memory where he had dropped theca, ainost two years ago. Ho asked about certain details connected with his /Met. nese. end about ce.rtain matters in which he had been interested. Slowly, but sh:rely, his mind clarified, and he nsked It he had been Til. When told that he had. he inquired how lang, i-fe evinced great surprise, and said that he had no recollection whatever of what had transpired sloe about six weeks follow- ing the time that he fell on the pave. ment, He inquired as to what had on. curred during the test. 1wa years, litre a man would who had been cm a long journey. His family is now engaged in telling from time to time what trans- pired in that period when he was a men without a memory, Koenig is still confined to his room, but It is thought that It will be pos- sible for him Lo be about again in a few weeks. His mental disorder is entire- ly cured. AN AID TO MOTHERS. Baby's Own Tablets is the very best medicine in the world for curing the minor ailments of babies and young children.

Two hundred and thirty people, em- ployed at a lace factory at Long Eaton, near Nottingham, England, have a re- markable grievance. Opposite to the factory is a cemetery, in which there are several ornamental trees, and the workpecple complain that they aro losing their eyesight ow- ing to the "blinking" light caused when the branches of the threes wave in the wind. One old man declares that he is nearly blind, and it is impossible for him to see to do his work on a windy day. The grievance is not a new one. In 1808 it was raised, and a poll of the ratepayers was token on the question wheleher the trees should be cut down, The vote was In favor of the trees be. ing allowed to remain. Two years ago the 'subject was reviv- ed, but, nothing was clone to remedy the grievance, and now the Urban leis- trict Council has again been approached with the view of having tite trees foiled. Some of the councillors say that if blinds were fitted to rho factory the waving of the trees would he harmless to the worlcpeople. TRAINING FOR DUELS.

Parisians have been enabled by the int venton of a hollow bullet to "train" for thiels under the rcalLstic condition of shooting at and being shot by, a living instead of practicing at an inanimate target, which does not fire back.
