The immediate need of every sufferer is, obviously, to get botter as quickly as pos sible. This is, however, by no means an easy matter with the use of the ordinary remedies. The consequence is that mon and women too, find themselves becoming more and more depressed in mind and more weakened in body as the days go by, and they seem farther than ever away from the greatly desired and hoped for

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY AUGUST 20тm, 1912.
A strenge held of investigation that secins to be attracting many new students is that of galls. These swellings of the tissues of plants are due to irritation by parasites, which are sometimes vegetable organisms (certain fungi, bacteria and slime molds) and sometimes animal (gall- lies, gail-gnats and other insects, mites
worms). The insect commonly pune- tures the bark or leaf and lays its eggs in the wound, where the larvae develope feeding on the gall produced. species of galls known have increased rapidly, and un 1888 catalogue of those due to animals gave only about 300, while a catalogue of 1909 enumerated over 6,000 galla from Europe and the Mediter ranean region of Asia and Africa, with- It is not easy to exaggerate the depres-out including the many of other locali- sion this combination of mental and tice.
