Both questions are of the highest importance for . the doctor and patient. A doctor may know exactly what the trouble is—he may be the best of diagnosticians—yet he may be sadly deficient in his knowledge of the best remedies for the disease; so broad and deep is the science of medicine! I believe thefe ate hundreds— thousands of patients treated and cured—when the diagnosis was ab solutely a mistaken one. How? Well, the skillful doctor treated the important SYMPTOMS. The best doctor strives to be equal to the answer to both of the questions at the head of this letter; happy the physician that can, truth fully answer both. Suppose the doctor cannot accu rately diagnose the case—yet be lieves he has done so; I’d trust that doctor anywhere. Why? Just be cause he knows what remedy to ap ply to the symptoms. I would be perfectly willing for a doctor to treat me who knows well the action of the medicine he uses; he knows fhe cause that will bring about the affect. : A good physiolo gist is a good doctor; the man who knows healthy life is quick to recog nize any, depftrtiirh ffom it. Physi ology is the science of life. ' I am not so devilish particular about a technical diagnosis; I do not care how many red cells a man has, just so I know he is anaemic. Now laugh, if you want to! , r LARYNGITIS I am struggling today with an at tack of laryngitis. It occurs to me that my readers may be interested. You may get an attack, you know. The larynx is the “vocal box” where the sounds of the voice are moulded into words. The “itis” sig nifies’ inflammation of the vocal cords. The first symptom is hoarse ness, and is very pronounced? Not much pain, necessarily, at first. Pain indicates a more violent attack—see the doctor at opce. My voice today sounds like that of an old hen with a grain of corn lodged in her wind pipe! It is weakening, sickening, disgust ing. My work as a physician, takes me out in all sorts of weather, and at most all "hours. There is much exposure—we call it that—and you must guard against it. What am I doing for this distress ing condition? Well, I have my throat wrapped with woolen—with, turpentine and oil of eucalytus equal parts sopped on the cloth. The va- j por from this does good. I keep the neck warm on the outside. I keep my feet extra warm. I take antiseptic such as aspirin—and those; containing a small per cent of form-, aldehyde—and let them dissolve in my mouth—five or six times a day. Of course, I attend to the regular! function, good food, pJenty of wa-j ter, and take the best care of my-j self that I can. It has been most! severe weather, and the climate in | my state is treacherous; besides, some of these'"things are communi-j cable—we must not forget that. | I admit that it takes courage to endure such attacks and remain on foot and at work. The patient who does as lye should do, will go to-bed, call his physician—and get well in half th<^time. Bear in mind that laryngitis may be a very diyigerous condition. Better attend to it early. Now that Mitchell and Harriman have been arrested, Wall -Street is bd&inning to feel the pinch.

The first real hot spell will prove this fact. The roadsides will be lined with cars that tried to squeeze the last nickel’s worth •f mileage out of thin, weak tires.

A customer came in who wished a “white henna’’ treatment. This, is a treatment used to burnish white or light colored hair. They say i that a paste is applied to the hair and, after a certain time, removed. . The operator opened a closet, got some material from a bag and made ,p., paste. After it had been applied, , discovery was made that the j stuff happened to be some sort of plas- I ter of paris left by the workmen. It hardened quickly and firmly. In fact, the customer had to be' removed to a suite where an operation could be per- K formed with a chisel. The chipping was done as consid erately as possible, but the hair was chipped off with the plaster. In the end the woman had to have her head shaved.—Exchange. Sea Horse Ranks High Among Nature’s Freaks Of all the queer combinations in the animal kingdom, the sea horse (Hip pocampidae) easily takes the prize, points out Boys’ Life, the monthly journal of the Boy Scouts of America. It has the head of a horse, from which it takes its name; the tall of a mon key ; the fins of a fish; and the ab dominal pouch of a kangaroo, in which the male carries the eggs from the time they are laid nntil they are hatched. With all these borrowed trappings, the sea horse is a real fish and does not live very long out of water. The tail, which is somewhat longer than the head and body combined, is the only tail in the fish kingdom en dowed with ,the, fipwer tp grasp things, pnd with it the sea, horse, glings to un derwater foliage when he desires to rest, continues Boys’ Life. In their sportive moments these quaint little gpeatures wrap their tails around each other, and engage in a regular tug-o’ yarrror a large one. will seise a small one around the n<S‘k^and drag him fu riously around in-circles ..in a marine Version Of "snap the wbtp.,‘; V . .HV » 1.1 . • Gala biagos, one walks over fresh or weath ered lava.

I The merchant who advertises is the merchant who offers genuine values and wants you to know it.
