A FURRED TONGUE
IS A SURE SIGN OF STOMACH DISORDER
Have you a furred tongue, with a nasty taste in your mouth, and a dull, heavy feeling? Have you lost your appetite, lost your vigour, lost your interest in life? If so, your stomach is out of order and it must be toned up and strengthened, or worse will follow. Mother Seigel's Syrup is the very remedy you need. The herbal extracts it contains make it the finest stomach and liver tonic in existence,
THE SURE CURE IS THE HERBAL TONIC
It quickly restores those organs to working order and thus it makes food nourish you, cleanses your tongue, raises your vitality, restores your strength, gives you the vigour and glow of health. Mrs. R. Frise, 14, Richmond Terrace, Albert Rd., S. Woodford, has had over fifteen years" experience as a nurse and she says: "I know of nothing that is anything like so good, for stomach or liver troubles, as Mother Seigel's Syrup."

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE GYROSCOPE IN LEBOPLANE CONTROL/ In the aeroplane of Paul Regnord, Frens engineor, the gyroscope is applied indirectly to give automatic stability. The flywheel is mounted in a gimbal fr me, and on electrio battery of eight or ten cells keeps it in motion in a horizontal plane at the rate of about 10,000 revolutions per minute. As the aeroplane, in tipped, the gyroscope coutinues to rotate in the horizontal plane. The vertical shaft, however, makes one of four electrical contacts, and this nots in operation the righting moolaniam, two of the contacts controlling the longitudinal balanes, and two the lateral balance. Theselien promptly restores the machine to its normal position. A gust of wind, for example, may incline the front of the aeroplans downward, but the prompt closing of the electric oireit tips the rear wings forward, and equilibrium is recovered.

FOOD TO KEEP TEETH,
That the method of taking food, as well as the food itself, has a great effect on the teeth has been pointed out by Dr. J. Sim Wallace in a paper to British dentists. Dental caries result from the action of bacteria that rapidly multiply in starch, sugar and other fermentable carbohydrates in confact with the teeth, and the dentist may divide foot into two classes- ons tending to leave viscons and formontable carbohydrates about the teeth, and the other acting to brush them away. This suggests that | food may be so chosen and eaten as to prevent teeth decay. Each meal should have sufficient ! hard food to stimulate mastication, with its excellent effect on gums, jawa, teeth and alimentary panal generally, and should end with some article tending to remove the sticky carbohydrates from teeth and mouth. The pap feeding of children is to be condemned. It is suggested that for breakfast fish, bacon, toast, butter, coffee and tea should take the place of the customary milk, porridge, bread and marmalade; and that other maals should have a larger proportion of hard foods.

A NEW ADHESIVE,
An artificial gum which forms a lighly adhesive paste with cold water is prepared by J. Kantorowicz, necording to his French patent, by treating dessicated starch or starchy material with aoid or alkali to increase the adhesiveness. Sach material as potafocs or flour is mixed with water, and then leated sa by passage in a thin boyer over ateam heated rollers-so as to convert the starch first into poste and then into des- siented flakes, that can be posted off and ground hydrochloric acid may be added to the original mixture in the proportion of hulf a pound for eoch 100 pounds of potatoes, or 2 pounds of powdered sodium carbonate for sack 100 pounds of flour may be mixed with the coarsely powdered flaky mass from the rollers. The rollers have a temperature of 110 to 120 dogs. Cent. The proportion of neid or alkali, or other chemical reagent, can be varied for different degrees of adhesiveness of the final product, and a little experimenting may be necessary to get the most satisfactory reaults.

STRIKING EXPERIMENTS
at the request of the
Local Government Board for Ireland.
The body-building power of Bovril proved to be equal to from 10 to 20 times the weight of the Bovril taken.
"The results of the experiments conducted at "the request of the Local Government Board for "Ireland during the past year, in the School of Physiology, Trinity College, Dublin, as to the aatritive value of Bovril, and communicated to "the British Association at Sheffield (Times " report, September 3rd), have created considerable "interest amongst the Medica! Profession.
"In order to secure a decisive result, the tests "were carried out on dogs because, owing to the "easier control of the diet at the absence of "disturbing influences, mental and physical, much "more exact results can be obtained on animals than on human beinga The dogs were firat brought to a constant weight on dried dog "biscuit mixed with known quantities. of water. "Bovril-from 23 to 7 grammes-was then added to the food, with the result that the weight of "the animals went up as much as 50 to 100
"grammes, or, in round numbers, 10 to 20 times
the weight of the Bovril given,
"Afterwards Bovril was discontinued, and the. animals fell back to the original weight. Com "pared with the effect of hard-boiled white of egg, "it was found that from 8 to 10 times as much by weight of the latter had to be given to oktsia the same increase in weight, or, taking the dried organic solids in the two foods, from 2 to 4 times "as much egg-white had to be given to obtain the "Bovril effect.
"In several of the experiments there was a re- "tention of reserve nitrogen, and in all en increased
3 in all fe ⚫álisation of other foods.
"It was therefore concluded that Bovril had both "a direct and an indirect nutritive value, the latter. by causing a more complete digestion and absorp "tion of the other food given."
