A Medical Officer

Debility, Nervous Exhaustion-

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 24c8, 1910,

Certainly the absolute confidence of eminent doctors is evidence enough of the exceptional benefits imparted by Phosferine. Even doctors cannot do more to prove their confidence than by using Phosferine to remedy their own disorders. Could any proof be more deficité, more convincing than the testimony of John Dodd, D.S.M., Medical Officer in the late South African War, who says: "After being shot through both langs I was dangerously reduced, and 1 attribute it solely to Phosferine that 1 regained my usual health. I have proved the value of Phosferine in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion." This brilliant medical officer found Phosfering particularly serviccable for insufficiency of nerve force, and declares nothing was so suitable in combating fevers, chills, &c.

Not possible now

John Dold, D.S.A. (late of the Medical Staff, 5th Imperial Yeomanry, 1st Brigade, South Africa), Ladysmith House, Witton-le-Wear, writes: have bad considerable experience in the use of your invaluable remedy Phosferine, and it has proved particularly serviceable where there exists insufficiency of nerve force. This condition, often due to primary weakness, lays the system open to influenza, colds, neuralgia, rheumatismi, indigestion, fevers, and in remedying this predisposition I have found nothing so, suitable as your preparation. Phosferine invariably goes to the root of the mischief direct. The certainty of its action is moreover an estimable feature. In debility and kindred ailments, caused by a reduced system, it has unprecedented power, and in my own case I cap bear evidence to its exceptional value, and am indeed greatly indebted to its wonder- ful restorative properties. During the late war in South Africa, I was shot through both lungs and pericardium and that reduced me most dangerously; after taking Phosferine for about two months it brought me back to my usual health. I attribute this solely to the use of Phosferine. I have advised Phosferine in several cases, and proved its value in brain, nerve, and muscular exhaustion."-March 1, 1970.

SCIS TIFIC MISCELLANY.

THE ELECTRIC ORGAN-BLOWER.

The electrically-operated organ-blower exiled the "Rotisphere," a new English apparatus, ix designed to be attached to the bellows handle of any ordinary largo organ. The handle is given ite teual reciprocating motion by the rotation of a crack, which is driven, through a chain and sprocket gear, by a bicycle wheel haring a. pavamatic tiro. This wheel is turned by the frication of a hemisphere of aluminum, which the spille of a shunt is mounted on wound constant-speed electric motor, and the role is varied by swinging the motor on a vertical pivot so that tho are of contact of the hemisphere with the tire fa altered. The speed change le automatic. A chain consorts the organ reservoir with the swinging motor, and a spical spring resista the swing of the motor, so that as the reservoir rises and falls the chain is drawn in or pulled out, thus abifting the are of contact by its notion on the motor.

PULLING CARS BY MAGNETS.

The magnetic wheels of O. Heinze, a Massa. chusetts electrician, are expected to give cars power to mount wroep graites without a-rack- The wheel contains four maguet colle, outside of whiski nas fone segments forming part of the troud of the wheel, and a ring of 12 per cent, manganese steel is clamped between them and the wheel. By properly timing the energizing of the magnets, each succeeding sectioniantizact ed to tho rail just in advance of contact with it, the current being cut off as soon as the contact раск On a 13,000 pound truck, equipped with twe 35 horse-power 550 volt railway anotors, a traction due to weight, but with the wheels magnetized this was increased to 8,500 pounds,

or more than 300 per cent.

PASSING OF THE BIG CHIMNEY.

atmosphoric discharges near and distant are re- corded by a wireless tolegraph instrument. Each discharge produced electro-magnetic waves like those used for sending wireless messages, and these may be detected when the storm is any whore within a radius of 500miles. This obuer vatory increases the efficiency of the weather service, as all storms passing over Western Eu- rope come from the Atlantic. The variations

THE VICTORIES OF PEACE,

The war against mosquitoes - strange as it is, and at first ridiculed-is one of the notable

modern contests. In 1897-8, Surgech-Major Ross, then in the Indian Medical Service, traced the life-history of the malarial parasite in mos quitoes, showing how these insecta convey malaris from man to man; and in 1900 Surgeons Reed, Carroll, Agramonte and Lascar, of the Taited States Army, proved that one species of mosquito the Stepongiu valopus~ia the sole onrrier of yellow fever. The discoveries have made tropies lowlande habitable. Mos quite regulations have driven malaria from the Philippines and Panama Canal

and throngh similar measures Havana was reported in November, 1902, to have had no caso of yellow fever for a year, although there were 1.214 cases, with 310 deaths, in 1900. In the yellow fever district about Rio do Janeiro, ja South Amerion, the fight has been strenuous one. In a new book, Sir Rubert W. Boyce, Dean of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicino, states that Brazil had 4.852 deaths from yellow fever alone in 1899; but the practi cal application of the new knowledge reduced the dentas to 948 ju 1904. Early in 1909 an effort Not less than was made to complete the work 153,670 breeding places of larvae were destroyel, 850,575 miscellaneous water receptacles were examine), 44,343 reservoirs and 604,283 regular water containers were evorhauled, as many as 814,550 sinks and water-closets were oiled with: petroleum, and 2,545 cart loads of tin cans, etc. were removed from yards. A ten and a half of pyrethrum and 30-tons of sulphur were used. Labour had its reward, for when summer came, though it brought more than 45.000 strangers, the Brazilian capital was fros from yellow fever.

A FEVERISH PULER. The pulse of a mouse is too rapid to determine by ordinary method. A late observer, F. Buchanan, has made this count by suspending tho animal with fore and kind legs dipping in two Be. parate solutions, thus forming part of un eleétric airosit connected with an electrometer, and photo- graphing the instrument's oscillations on a strip of paper moving at known rade. In six mics the heart-beats averaged 670 per minute, the highest being 780. The pulsations are abont 200 in the rabbit, 50 in the dog, 70 in man, 40 in the horse, and 30 in the elephant.

WORD BLINDERS. Individual fuilings will be considered in the educational system of the future. Inability to learn to spell has come to be regarded as due to pocaliar brain organization-a lack in the brain centre, for the memory of words, and it has been found that in every 2,000 children in "London" schools there is one case of serious "word blindness." As such pupils may be highly intelligent, special training seems to to needed to make the most of their faculties. A German raport mentious. a family which has had no less than fone word-blind members. A perfectly healthy girl of fiftoon, who had gained high raak at school, could pot spell ordinary words, either from dictation or memory. She conld write single characters correctly, and could read a single zeries of musical notes and play the violin by note, but she could not read piano music. Through various aide to memory, she pained high general scholarship, though her errors in reading were almost incredible. The same in- ability to receive any wental impression of words existed in her grandmother, a "woman of mach education, and in ber great uncle and a sou of the latter.
