The Exeter Advocate, 1915-8-5, Page 7WEAK, TIRED, DEPRESSED That is the. Usual Condition of Per. sons aided With Anaemia Anaemia is the medical 'term for poor watery bleach It may arise from a variety of causes, such as la* of exercise, hard study, improperly yen- tilt ted rooms or 'workshops, . poor digestion, etc. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of .the face. and gums, rapid breathing and palpita- tion' of the heart after slight exertion, headaches, dizziness and a tendency to hysteria, swelling of- the feet and limbs and a distaste for food. All these symptoms may not be present, but any of them indicate anaemia which should be promptly treated with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills make new, rich blood which stimulates and strengthens every or- gan and every part of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made thous- ands of anaemic people bright, active and strong. The following is one of the many cures. Mrs, Phillips, wife of Rev. W. E. Phillips, Princeton, Ont., says: "Same years ago, while living with my parents in England I fell a victim of anaemia. The usual compli- cations set in and soon I became buil a shadow of my former self.. My mother, who had been a former nurse of many years experience, tried all that her knowledge suggested; tonics of various kinds were tried, and three doctors did their best for rne, but without avail, and a continued. gradual decline and death was look- ed for. "Later my parents.tdecidedto join my brothers in Canada, and it was confidently expected that the ocean voyage, new climate and new condi- tions would cure me. For a time I did experience temporary benefit, but was soon as ill again as ever. I was literally bloodless, and the extreme pallor and generally hopeless appear - twee of my condition called forth many experiences of sympathy from friends whom we made in our new home in Acton, Ont. Later a friend urged me to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and although in a condition where life seemed to have little to hope for I decided to do so. After using three boxes I began to mend. in i enjoyfood, Continuing I began to my slept almost normally, and began to have a fresh interest in life as I felt new blood once again running in my veins. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought about a complete 'Care and I am to -day in robust health. My hus- band is rector of this parish and I have recommended the use of the Pills to a great number of people with whom we have come into contact in the course of Foy husband's ministry-, for we bath knots what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do." These Pills may be had from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont..

PLANTS RAVE NERVOUS SYSTEM I RESPOND' TO EXTERNAL FORCES 1 LIKE HUMAN: BINGS." Intoxiated by Alcohol, Stupified by 1 Chloroform, Degeneration Through Laziness. A series of investigations made by Professor Jagadis Chunderf Bose,. an Indian scientist, of Calcutta, has re - suited in revelations of such far- reaching scientific importance that it may be doubted whether even this distinction now holds good, The bar- rier between the life -phenomena of plants and animals is thrown down, Even the commonest vegetable proves to be sensitive. Professor Bees has shown that plants have what may truthfully be called a nervous sys- tem—of a simple type, to ,be sure, but still a nervous system. The dis- eavery is of momentous interest. Psychology deals with consciousness;] but without nerves, ' without some means of receiving impressions of storms and sunrliine, heat and cold, there can be no consciousness. Pro- fessor ro-fessor Bose by no means holds that plants. have anything like the intel- ligence of animals, but he has cer- tainly demonstrated that they re- spopct to external forces, not as so: many living machines, but as sen- tient organisms.. By his extraordin- ary methods of enquiry he proves. that they are affected in a very hu- man way when stimulated from with- out. They are benumbed by cold in- toxicated by :alcohol, suffocated by v foul air, wearied, by excessive work, stupified by anaesthetics, excited by electric currents, stung by physical blows, exhilarated in sunshine, de- pressed in the rain, and killed by pois- ons or violence. In a word, they are responsive or irresponsive under the same conditions and in the same man- ner as a human being, sometimes to a, greater and sometimes to a lesser de- gree. was it necessary to tap the glass tube containing the iron particles' To answer that question Dr. Bose began a painstaking investigation. He found that the iron particles of the coherer grew weary; they were ac- tually fatigued because of overstrain; they had to be revived, and a tap (a " stimulus, in ' other words) revived them, That discovery prompted him to study over substances. Matter proved to strangely capricious., He examined it as a biologist examines a muscle or nerve—electrically. A piece of animal tissue that is dead reacts differently from a piece that is alive.' There is an electric twitch, when the living muscae or nerve is excited, a twitch that can be seen with the aid of a galvanometer --.a delicate detector of electric currents. A dead tissue, on the other hand, gives no response. Tested thus, Dr. Bose found matter curiously alive in a real and not in a figurative sense. He froze metals, and they became torpid like an icy muscle; he poisoned them and then cured them; he narcotized themandnd afterwordrevlved them; ;he pinched . them, and they responded electrically like living flesh; be sub- � jected them to ceaseless blows, and they grew tired and irresponsive; he'. allowed them to rest, and the ability to respond revived, He performed hundreds of experiments which prove ed inorganic matter is not dead. First of all, Dr. Bose set about the 'invention of new instruments—de- vices of unprecedented sensitiveness. If plants are to lay bare their se- crets, they must be given the means of expressing themselves, In a broad sense, that is what Dr. Bose has done. His ingenious recorders are pens of incredible lightness with which lilies or cabbages may write down their im- pressions of the outer world in a script that we can understand, Use these instruments intelligently, and vegetation, hitherto mute, will whis- per its story, Plants Sensitive. No Dead Matter. Although he is "a native of India, there is not a trace of Oriental rays-. sticim in Dr. Bose, nor of that curious mixture of occultism and metaphysics which we associate with the East. It was soon after his graduation from Cambridge that Dr. Bose began' the researches which have resulted in giving an entirely new aspect to various phenomena associated with life. At first he was concerned, riot with living things, but with inorganic matter—gross; dead, brute matter, as it used td be called. That was in the days when wireless telegraphy was still a dream, when Marconi was just beginning to experiment. If wireless telegraphy was to be- come a commercial reality, something better than this coherer was needed —something that was self -recovering, like a human eye. To discover that something involved a sturdy of the whole theory of coherer action. Why / 01_ ICE CREA (Good Enough for Babies) Give the children all the Ice Cream they want.

A blow will make a muscle twitch; a plant will also twitch when struck. A prick or a cut Will cause both vegetal and animal tissue to give either a mechanical or an electrical twitch, Pinch a. cauliflower stalk with tweezers, and a reflecting gal- vanometer --a detector of currents which, in this instance, may be con- sidered anelectrical substitute for a brain—can be made to move a beam of light many feet on a screen and thus to visualize the stalk's wincing and recovery. In order to show that there is a perfect analogy between beating ani- mal and beating plant tissues, Dr. Bose subjects his plants to all the test that biologists apply to animals, and, few more that he himself con- ceives. A heart is slowed down by either, the biologists say ? "I, too, must experiment with either," de- cides the doctor. He places his plant in a chamber, and blows in some ether vapor mixed with air. The plant re- cords its exaltation. It has been af- fected just as if it were human. Stronger ether vapor is admitted. The leaflets slow down just as does a heart under the influence of an an- esthetic. Will the leaflets stop alto- gether if too much ether vapor is poured into its chamber ? The heart will, we know. The doctor tests the plant. For a minute or two the leaf- lets waver uncertainly; then they stop —the plant is quite still. Fresh air is blown into the chamber, and the effect is magical. Very slowly the leaflet begins to move, and once more the record is traced on the glass plate, weakly and uncertain at first, but gathering strength as the plant drinks in each new whiff of armos- pheric oxygen.. Chloroform has an gven more pro- nounced effect than either. If a slight excess is administered, the leaflets stop altogether. The leaflet may even be killed. • Sometimes it takes as long as half an hour to revive a telegraph -plant that has been thor- oughly chloroformed. Think for a moment of the signifi- cance of these experiments. We have been taught to believe that automat- ically pulsating tissues draw their energy from within, and to' call this energy "vital force." 'If a beating leaf can be arrested and started again simply by controlling external forces, it is evidently absurd to ' explain its apparent automotic action by means of an internal vital force. Dr. Bose offers a new and more plausible the- ory, one that accounts for all spon- taneous movements by the action of external forces only. , A plant is the plaything of light, electricity, wind, and rain—of all nature's. forces. Like the currents; drugs, 'and gases em- ployed in' Dr. Bose's experiments, these natural forces act as stimuli. We must -imagine the little' mole cules`'of which :plants are constructed,, not only -storing up' all this':energv:as if it were water received by' a vessel, but as receiving much more than they can store. Like water, the ex- cess energy bubbles over, as it were, and produces the 'pulsations that have seemed so inexplicable.

On. one of these visits in Warsaw he is said to have gone to a restaurant where vodka and wine were secretly sold. Here he found in a private room carousing several of- ficers who should have been at the front. He ordered their arrest,' and that night 'presided over a court- martial which condemned, athem to die ,on the morrow, With hie own hands he tore their shoulder straps from their uniforms. "You have disgraced your uni- forms; prepare to die," he said. On the following morning he sent for them, "I have suspended your sentence," he said. "Go to your positions at the front and each of you return with. the cross of St,. George, or do not re- turn at all." Punishes by Death. When the 10th army carps was cut up on the Grodno front in East Pruse. sia the grand duke sent for the gen- eral in command, and is said to have acrossi struckhim his face and torn off his shoulder straps.

The re- sult was the capture of 75,000 Rus- sian soldiers, Immediately the grand duke went to Galicia to preside over the court-martial which tried and condemned to death the general who had disobeyed orders, While the imperial leader does not; actually work out the war plans of the Russian army he does influence the general ideas that control Rus- sian strategy. It is even said that the ultra -conservative and defensive tendencies of Gen. Dussky led finally to a breach between him and the grand duke which caused the general's re- tirement from the command of the armies in Poland. This story is merely a rumor.

Rough Military Discipline for Men of High Rank Pleases the Soldiers. The Grand Duke Nicholas is the most powerful and beloved figure in Russia to -day. Strong of will, determined of pur- pose, the grand duke has not the re- putation of being a man of enormous intellectual ability; nor does he pre- tend to make the plans that govern the movements of Russian armies. He is surrounded by men of military training and ability whose superior- ity in their own lines he is the first to recognize. One of his most important duties is to sit at general headquarters and keep order among his various gen- erals, whose views are often discord- ant, to see that plans determined upon by the general staff are carried out, even by those who oppose them. His high position in the imperial family enables him to treat even gen- erals .with rough military discipline which alone can maintain order among the temperamental Slays. The stern manner with which" the grand duke treats officers of high standing, who have failed in their duty has en- deared him to the rank and file of the army, for the Russian soldier in this war has felt the heavy hand of his superiors and likes to know that these same men are subject to the same discipline.
