The discovery was mado about three years ago in Frankfort, where Makeizi found that a bacterial intestinal parasita cultivated in the presence of milk sugar acquired the new property of producing lactase, the enzyme that decomposes milk sugar Shortly afterwards a second bacterium having the same peculiarity was noted by Burk, and since thon three other have been moda known by Dr. Heiner Mueller, It appears that when the culture of bacteris ex hansta its usual food, some of the group suddenly try the new substance.

WHAT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MEANS.

MR. FAGET EZTUENS TO THE ATTACK.

Increase in the caustic sods used had no effect, and the water was slightly alkaline, but blistors formed specially near the water-line-proved to contain ferrous sulphate with a slight èxcess of sulphuric acid. The investigation has suggested an explanation of the curious acid corrosion in alkaline water. The sulphur contained in the water seems to be first, exidized to sulphuric sold, and this attacks the tietal alient it, depositing oxides that form a membrano por-

PHRASES AND PROMISTS.

How is it, then, that Christian Science has taken hold of such a vast multitude of gentle, educated, well-disposed Englishmen and women. It is partly due to her use of big philosophical words and grand vague phrases. The trie strength, the nitimate secret of Christian Bience is neither in her shim philosophy nor her devotion, but in her promite of healing all manner of diseases,

She has bestod is now healing-many Lawalids, Bhe helps them to forget or overcome he has enabled many people to give up smok neurotic ailments and hysterical complainta, ing, alcohol, cocaine, or morphin,

She has made the restless more quiet. She has made the subjects of this or that functional disorder, or set of disorders, more happy, active, aid healthy

"We do not know, howeyer, how many of these ones relapse or how many fail to respond, Christian Science hidow her fallures with absoluto secrecy.

"All the same she can and does heal such cases as may be healed by mesmerism, hypnotism, enggestion, faith-healing, mental treatment, or whatever else may be the influence of the mind over real or fanciful ailments of the body.

"Her advertised cures have been examined again and again and have been found pitifully

without foundation.

NO LIVES BATED.. *No evidence can be found that Christian Science has once, in thirty years, all over the world healed a single case which might not have got wall itself or under treatment by suggestion.

I cannot find that she has, even in the ordinary sense of the word, saved life. She has killed thousands--not by any mistake in ding-

A striking connection betweer alcoholism and tuberculosis has been brought out by Jacques Bertillon in a set of maps based on the latest French statistion. The maps show that in the north of France the consumption of brandy por inhabitant is much greater than in the central and southern portions, and that the line of separation corresponds to that of the limit of vine culture. In wine-drinking regions the usenasis, for she never examines a case, not by any mistake in treatment, for she does nothing that of brandy is small. The phthisis map agrees can be called treatment. very closely with the alcoholism may, and indicates that the use of brandy and other strong alcoholic beverages gives conditions specially favourable for the development of tuberculous disease. Phthisis among salonu, koopers, moreover, is more than twice as frequent A among other merchants, the yearly deaths being 579 and 245 repectively in each 100,000 In París phthisis is twico as common among males as among females, and this also seems to be due to the fact that alcoholism is chiefly

"The feet of Christian Science are red with the blood of those whom she kills by shoer deliberation and ignorance by wilful blindnosa, by purposeful refusal to raise a finger for them.

She puts them to death, and when they are dead she says they died of want of faith."

Dr. Horton followed up the attack with keen, satire.
