SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
STATUS OF RADIUM THERAFT. Among the diseases that have yielded to radium, Sir J. M. Davidson mentions a troublesome affection of the eyelids known as spring catarrh," This occurs in young people, the upper eyelids especially being covered with rough granulations, and until recently it was in- ourable, but since radium was applied every case treated has been completely. and painlessly cured. Rodent ulcer, X-ray burns, small cancera of the tongue and lip, and certain large tumors alaó give good results under radium treatment. Lupus is more resistant, and radium-like X-rays-has failed as a cure for large cancers, although it may bave some effect in checking their growth. Of cheaper substitutes for radium that have been tried, uraniums, thorium and actinium have been found too feeble to have any real efficacy. The meso-thorium discovered by Otto Hahn, a disintegration product of thorium, has aroused considerable ex- pectation, and is being experimented with medically in Germany. Weight for weight, it is even more powerful than radium, its rays being the same. The supply should be much larger than that of radium, but its lower cost is partially offset by its short life-only seven years,
OZONE AT DIFFERENT BEASONS.
An interesting investigation of the ozone in the outer air during six months has been reported by H. N. Holmes to the American Chemical Society. In June and July there was no response to the usual test quicker than an hour and a quarter, except in a thunderstorm, when the re- cord was 15 minutes; and in the hottest July days there was no evidence of ozone. No trace was found at night, indicating thut the ultra-violet rays of sunlight have much to do with ozone. In November, the days being cold and bracing, one test showed ozone in 26 minutes, and others in 30 to 40 minutes. At this time much ozone must have been formed by the silent elec tric discharge between earth and clouds.

MAKING MOLECULES VISIBLE
THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH
Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills-What they are and what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.
It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood. Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted, and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants
and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in Nature's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.
One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.
The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.
Ter
The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.
The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.
From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely roof out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean. *
DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pilis being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottle-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture, unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as alt liquid medicines do.
