SCIENCE AND YADIL.
The following is reproduced from Truth:-
Dr. Sun Yat-sen, having failed in bis so-called military measures against the citizens of Cantor City, tried them in Tungkan September 1st by the aid of his Kwangsi-ite mercenaries. The citizens of Tungkun, however, were prepared long, before September 1st and succeed- ed in over-powering the pro-Sun troops going against them. Dr. Sun's reinforce- ments from Canton to Tungkun during the last few days have not been ablo to reach their destination.
Sir William Pope's "exposure of Yadil in the Doily fail creates curious position. Thousands and thou sands of people have been taking Yadi during the last two or three years, and supposing themselves benefited by it. Large numbers are even confident that, in conjunction with the general treatment either their lives or their friends. Doctors by the score" have used it in their prac [ tice, and testify to its valuable proper: ties The scientific chemist appears on the scene, and pronounses that Yadil' is composed of a large quantity of water, small quantity of glycerine, a still smaller quantity of formaldehyde, und-z smell. Eminent doctors back him up in declaring, on the strength of his analysis,

fner of this I fear I had better not attempt to tell him, for just as Truth is going to press I see it announced in the Dil-fail that the proprietors of Yadil are commencing an action for libel against that journal, which makes it dangerous for third parties to publish their views about the dispute. A court of law is not the best place for settling scientific questions, but the best advice. I can give to the plain man is to consider the question which confronts him an open one until the law has done what it can to clone, it.

THE NATIONAL`" DRIVE : "FOR

This drive is a joint enterprise of the China International Famine Relief. Com- mission, to which four-fifths of the pro- ceeds are to go, and cf the Chinese National Red Cross. President Tsao Kun has consented to act as Honorary Chair man. The treasures arc to be the treasurers of the China International Famine Relief Commission, Mr. J. E Baker and: Admiral Tsai Ting Kan.
The opening in Peking was marked by a large public meeting at the Headquar“ ters of the Red Cross, 22 Kan Mica Hut. ang, to which the members of the Cab-
One or two points, however, have been raised by Sir William Pope and the medical contributors to the Wall, which obviously apply to a great many articles besides the particular one now sub judice. We are told, for instance, that inet, all the foreign ministers and many the vendor charges too much. I can of the capital's most prominent men were easily believe that, but he is not the only invited. President Tsao Kun was unable one, and, personally, I would rather pay to attend himself, but sent a special re Mr. X. 3. 8d. for curing a cold with a bottle of stuff with a faney name-a presentative. thing which I have, in fact, done--than pay a doctor 10s. 6d. for studying my ymptoms and writing a prescription, pay a chemist 25. for making the prescrip tion up, and find the cold no better at the end of three days. If it is a scientific fact that my three-and-sixpenny bottle contains 13 per cent. of water, I should like to know what percentage of water the doctor and the chemist between them would have sold me for 19. 8d. I wonder what is the percentage of water in a bottle" of." nourishing stout" of a 958. bottle of champagne.
