A Nurse Companion

Pneumonia and Pleurisy After Effects,

Wasting and Weakness—

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JULY 29гH, 1911.

Happy and cheerful with abundance of energy and good spirits, is how Miss Dunford describes herself from the day she commenced to take Phosferine. Yet before she found relief in Phosferine words failed 10 express the miserable torments she endured from the effects of pneumonia and pleurisy, the aches, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and wasting, which even doctors failed to remedy. No wonder Miss Dunford feels (after two years of such suffering without ease or rest for the body) that Phosferine "bas given her a new and better lease of life," for she declares it is entirely owing to Phosferine that she is actively busy again. Every overwrought wage earning woman will find a message of hope in Miss Dunford's experience, with its splendid assurance of renewed nervous vitality, and absolute prevention of tissue wasting.

Completely Overcome.

Miss Daisy Dunford, High Street, Shrewton, Wilts, writes: "I have found Phosferine to be a wonderful remedy. Some two years ago I had pneumonia and pleurisy, which left me with terrible pains in my back. and legs. Two doctors prescribed for me, but gave me not the slightest relief. I could not sit, lie down, or sleep, on account of the incessant agony, and I became so exceedingly weak and wasted that my friends were seriously alarmed. My appetite failed, and the little food I ate caused indigestion; my life was nothing but a prolonged torture. The doctors said it was a form of neuralgia and sciatica, but the words do not convey any idea of my fearful state. I thought I would give Phosferine a trial, which I did, and after taking it for a little while, the pains were not nearly so acute, and finally left me altogether. I regained flesh, feli stronger, the indigestion entirely disappeared, and now, thanks to its marvellous aid, my health and strength, is completely restored. I cannot put into words my gratitude for the good Phosferine has done me, for 1 feel it has given me a pes and bitter lease of life."

DRIED BANANAS.

one

The taste and odour of bananas ripaned before catting are very different from what finds in the bananas out green and ripened after arrival in northern localities. This fact is load- ing to the development of a new industry in drying the fralt before shipment to Europe. Green bannons are found to contain 80 per cent. of starch and 3 or 4 per cent, of sugar; the ripe fruit, 70 per cent, of sugar-of which 40 pèr cent, is sacobarose, or cane-sugar, and 30 per ofcent invert-sugar, or bonoy-mgur--and only 2 in dried bananas per cent of starch; and neither saccharose nor starch is found, the remaining starch having been converted into saccharose and the saccharose into invert. sugar. The dried banana powder, which can be told at a low price, is specially recommend. ed for children, on account of its ungar.

Astronomers have made some progress toward showing what is the largest object in sight. The Earth is small, and the Sun, 850,000 miles in diameter, has over a million times its baik- but the Sun is not one of the largest stars In brightness Sirius is equal to 40 Buns, Capella to 220, Antares to 900, Assturns to 1,800 and Cazopus, in the southern hemisphere, to 10,000.❘ Little is known of the actual diameter and of the stars, but Myera has found ovidence that one binary has components that are each more than 10,000 miles in diameter, with

Though the computation le very uncertain, the Great Nebals in Orion is thought to be about 1:00 light-years distant, and if so-ita diameter is 25 or 30 light-years-that is, the distance moross this object is about 7 times that of the nearest fixed star from the Earth, or about the same as the distance from us of the star Vega. A light-year-the distance light, at 186,000 miles a second, travels in a year is nearly 6,000,000,000,000 miles, so that the breadth of the Great Nebula is approximately 180,000,000,000,000, miles! The Great Nebule in Andromeda is also of inconceivable size, and may be even larger than the Orion nebula. But try to imagine an object 180 trillions of miles

CHEMICAL ACTION IN COLD.

It was for a time supposed that chemical antion must cause in extreme cold like that of liquid siz. Sir James Dowar statos, how. ever, that he caused an explosion by mixing Folidified hydrogen and fluerine aud-that-phos phorescent bacteria are killed by ultraviolet light at. low temperatures. Dewar finds that liqueßed gases, like oxygen, may be solidified by their own evaporation by efficient isolation and the aid of a charcoal vacuum. Even helium, he believes, will be eventually liquefied and solidified, although it has been cooled within 3 degrees of sheolute zero without effect,

BUGAR COATING THE OLD AGE PILL Even the elixir of life can hardly be popular in the form of sour milk, as prescribed by Mats chaikoff, the famous biologist of the Pastoar Institute, end the attempt of the State Experi ment Station at Ames, Iowa, to give this ma terial palatability is likely to be widely approved- Loto, the new ice cream aybstitute, contains the lactic acid bacteria that are believed to provent the formation in the intestines of the poisonous products to which ill-health and old age are largely due. It is made from coagu- lated whole or skimmed milk, with the ad- dition of eggs and lemons, and sweetening and flavouring to suit the taste; and the whole is frozen.. Of 179 persons who gave their impressions of laoto, 123 found it very good Not less and only 8 thought it poor.. than 120 regarded it as superior or at least equal te vanilla ice cream, and 123 proferred it to sherbot. Being very digestible, it can be enfely eaten in almost any quantity. It has less fat but more protein than ies gream, and ranks mach higher in food value than sherbets and ices. The frozen lactic acid bastaria retain their motivity for a considerable time. Freedom of lacto from other germs soetas to prove the effectiveness of these organisms in keeping out putrefactive bacteria, and aridonce that such action really tends to give longevity is found by Metehnikoff in the fact that certain Bulgarians, whose food is sour milk, live to a great age. LONGER DISTANCE TELEPHONY. The plan of loading submarine telephone cables with small induction-coils, to give greater distinctness and longer working distances, bas proveu successful in a new cable across the Eng- lish Channel between Dover and Cape Gris-Nez. Two double coils are required for the four con- ductors, and are inserted at a distance of one knot (1.153 miles) apart, the two coils nearcat theends of GooD ENGLISH GUNS. the cable boing only half a knot from the terminal instruments. This is the arrangement found to give the best results. With previous conditions, specch was limited to 250 milos, but over the "coil-loaded" cable adistance of 850 miles eau Le reached,

WIRELESS FOR THE POCKET.

The pocket wireless telegraph of Carobotani, an Italian electrician, is simply a receiver that can be carried in a small case. For short dis- tances, a wire thrown over a branch will serve as antenna, and a needle moving over a lettered dial spells out the message from a wireless transmitter lotter by letter. A soldier or agent in any field of work may be kept constantly in- structed in this way..

A STEERING AND REVERSING PROPELLER. The novel horizontal marine propeller of L. Vojacek. ar, Austrian engineer, introduces changes that promise to be important. It con- sists of feathering paddle-wheel inunersed at a constant depth at the end of a vertical shaft below a horizontal disc, the two blades being pivoted on vertical ping on the disc's ander side, and driven by an epicycle train of wheels within the disc. The blades are given a feathering motion and are also made to turn about. their centres, so

that they may be reversed or otherwise varled in position. Changing the direction of rolation turns the boat to right or left, and it is made practicable to steer without a radder, and to reverse the boat's direction without reversing the engine. This steering with the propeller keeps the boat under such control that it may be
