Dr. Berthe de Sandfort has been work ing at the subject since 1901 For eight years the progress was slow, but so sure that in 1809 he was emboldened to do a thing which anyone up to that time would surely have described as the act of madman. So confident was ho in the results of his observations that he actual ly entered a large vat full of parafin at 1123-10 temperature of considerably over 120deg Fahrenheit (50deg.

By means of paraffin it is now possible to make an external application to the human body of a temperature very much higher than has hitherto been decmed possible without provoking pain or serious scalding

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

What is the explanation? At the risk being considered ungallant, we must unhesitatingly attribute this unfortunate phenomenon to the large influx of ladies into this country: They have come in their hundreds to brighten our slate coloured lives, and, afflicted as they are with the itch for dressing up, they have infected the masculine element with the same complaint. We are not unreason- able. We do not suggest that the thing Keloong, 20, Dea Veu: Bond was done with malice prepense and forethought. What happened was that bride after bride arrived in Malayn, each and every one furnised, with a goodly troumeau. The contents of a trousseau must needs be worn, for Fashion is fickle, and the rage of to-day is the spurned of to-morrow. Those who were not brides, who had formerly been content with muslin, had to face the new conditions. To keep their lead in the social race they had to don silks and eatine also. And that's how the troubl began. The evil naturally soon spread to the men. A new era commenced, an era of collars and cuffs. The white tunic were cut up for the baby or given to the boy. The mischier is spreading and soon the boys will decline to be seen out with out collars. One or two heroes tried to stem the tide. Their hon perseverance accentuated the pusillanimity of their fellow men; their isolated offorts could not avail to stem the on-howing tide Soon the last white tusic will join the Weld's Hill monkey in Damansara Road. As we have said, we are not unreason able: We would sooner see the ladies in tasteful array than in kabaya, aron and sandals as their Dutch cousins may bo scen in the towns of Java. We would rather see the men in collars and cuffs than in sarong trousers. The golden mean is our ideal, but in this imperfect world it is not always attainable. There is no pleasure without pain. We can exist without our white suits; could we exist without the ladies-Mafuy Mail.

In practice the results may be divided into medical and surgical. In medicine bot-water baths, douches, poultices and fomentations will be superseded in the treatment of local pains and inflacima- tions such as occur in rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, varicose veins, boils and the like, by applications of super- heated wax In surgery, wounds, ulcers, burns and the like will be treated by super-heated

wax in preference to ordinary dressings. The wax forms at artificial scab over the wound, protecting it from the outside microbic air, and by some process which remains to be explain ed, promotes very rapid healing. These are not assumptions on the part of Dr. Berthe de Sandfort During the 13 years that he has been at work on the question he has proved his conclusions, and the word of a man who will unter a tub of boiling oil in support of his theories may well be relied on.

adult, but it was very easy to produce After warmly eulogising the general if the heart muscle was anaemie, character of the Australian military poisoned or the weat of degenerative system, General Sir Ian Hamilton said change. When the heart was strained it lost its power of doing extra work. He had seen cases in which, the heart lind actually burst, and one case in which an animal had ruptured its heart, and died from emotion Heart strain might be induced in soute of the common, thoughtless nations of everyday life, as, for instance, in the action of running to catch a train. - In an actual experiment, made on a person with a healthy heart, before the run the heart rate was 76 per minute, and the heart was doing 112 foot lbs of work u minute; after the run the heart rate was 180 per minute, and the heart was doing 200 foot lbs a minute; an increas of 228 foot Ibs, per minute. Great atrain might also be imposed upon the heart by ascending stairs hurriedly. Emotions affected the heart, and as a result of anger the work of the heart might be increased from 152 to 224 foot lba per minute,Keep your temper "" was, therefore, good physiological advice. When the cardical rate and work was increased by strenuous exertions, it was not only during the actual exertion that' the heart's work was increased, but extra work continued to be done for some time! after the comation of the exertion. The enerinous amount of total extra work done by the heart was chown in the experiment of riding a bicycle uphill, the gradient being 1 in 10, the length 2,24ft., and the time of the ride 84 minuter. In a tested example, the extra work would have raised 14 tona through- one foot. The work of the heart could be economised in many ways. If one went to bed every night at ten instead of twelve, the heart would be saved 876,000 foot lbs. of work in a vear; by lying down half-an-hour daily there would be. að annual economy of 219,000 foot lbs. ; an hour's rest every Sunday would save 67,400 fost lbs, and mending everu Sunday in bed instead of only sleeping eight hours the saving in the year should be 198,400 foot Ibs.
