A solution containing one part fit in a million will contract the miscroscopic blood-vessels in the foot of a frog so that you can no longer see them. Hence it is the most powerful of all chemica, ngent for stopping hæmorr. hage. It will arrest bleeding from the nose when everything else has failed; not that that much matters, for the nose is accessible to mechanical means; but adrenalin has already saved many lives that were oozing away in a thin red stream no surgeon could reach. 1 wonder how many Russian soldiers' fires will be preserved by it during the present war, to enable them to fight against 'Takamine's fellow- countrymen? Not that they will know their saviour's name or race.

WHERE NOISE IS KING:

WHAT A BOILERMAKER ENDURES.

No human being endures so much in the way of deafening, ear-shattering noise as a Boilermaker. The whole place in which he works is filled with thunderous sound as of artillery-firing. Along its huge length fat boilers lie in stocks like giant iron canoes in process of building; while men, whose skins glisten in the light and heat, rush about with

pincers holding red-hot rivets, which they thrust through the plates to h, ve their pro-

truding noses flattened by heavy hammers. Over everything the fierce light of the braziers makes weird shadows on the heaving muscles of workers.

A hard, wearing life it is and a little thing impairs a boilermaker's efficiency. As Mr. Thomas Houghton, a Birmingham boilermaker, recently said to a newspaper interviewer, even deranged digestion may incapacitate one. Mr. Houghton, some time ago, was compelled to give up his work, but he cured himself by Dr. Williams' pink pills. Mr. Houghton, who lives at 65 Cuthbert-road, Winson Green, Birming ham, England, said:

Anyone who knows how Pasteur, and went on with my work as usual, thinking its founder, discovered the life-saving treatment of hydrophobia, or who has read the history of Koch's successful search-rewarded after many years-for the tubercle bacillus, will agree with me in this assertion. And these are typical Japanese qualities, as their art abundantly proves. The most dexterous dissector I ever knew was a Japanese. Therefore it is not sux- prising that we owe to them the discovery of the bacillus letani, leading to the production of an anti-toxic serum which is now regularly used and is by far the most efficient remedy we pos. sess for this terrible disease.
