Nerve Strain—

Mr. B. C. HUCKS (the well-known Flying Man), of 5, Queen's Gate Terrace, London, England, writes:— "I really must express my appreciation of Phosferine. Some time back I felt myself in a curious state of nervous tension, brought on, no doubt, by the severe strain caused by flying under all sorts of weather conditions for the Daily Mail tour. I had an idea hat my nerves were becoming shaken. I was advised to try Phosferine, and was quite astonished at the beneficial effect produced by even the first few doses. I am now feeling more 'fit than ever and ready to start upon a season's flying that promises to be considerably more arduous than the last."

No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the "promaturely aged New Life and Energy.

STANDARDIZING MEDICINES."

The idea of an international phar- macopoeia is an old one, and its need becomes greater as the intercourse of nations becomes closer, and so many scientific standards are being ninde com- mon throughout the world. Besides a score of national pharmacopoeias, there are various works of supplementary kind, These works recognize some thousands of different medicines, but only about 150 are found in all. The differences in the strength of preparations is so great thas a number of unofficial pharmacopoeias have been prepared to snow the variations in the different countries. Of the

All patriotie Americans should share the belief which is said to be held by President Wilson that 13 is a lucky number, The American Union originally consisted of 13 States, this being the number represented in the signatures to the Déclaration, of Independence; and there were 13 stars and 12 stripes in the flag under which the revolting colonies fought.

Dr. Nausen, like the United States President, has good reason to regard 13 as a lucky number. The crew of the Fram, in which he made the most successful of his expeditions, consisted of 13 men, all of whom after an absence of three years returned to their homes in perfect health. Their leader arrived back in Norway on August 13th, 1896, and on the same day the From emerged from her long drift on the ice into the open sca.

BLOOD PARASITES.. Recent years have shown that the blood parasites, instead of being a restricted order, have enormous distribution both geographically and in the animals they infest. Having had opportunity for five years to inspect all deceased specimens of the London Zoological ficciety, Dr. H. G.
