might mean to this people and still more to the people of the whole globe is unpredictable by mortal man.  But it is evident that it would be of the very greatest import to humanity.  This is the great issue of the discussion of this subject.  It seems to me that illness might be enormously diminished and health and efficiency and happiness immensely increased.  But I think that these boons might be obtained, not by indulging the body and its appetites, but only by the exercise of a wise restraint and government over it.  It is at least very much to be desired that more agreement might be manifested in the opinions and practice of qualified physiologists so that the public might have clear guidance, and not as at present, be advised in ways so conflicting that they do not know what or whom to believe.

By the time the next Medical Congress comes round it is expected that at least three distinguished bacteriologists will have discovered the golf-fever microbe.  They will probably agree to call it Mashilococcus Caddes.

Between lunch and dinner take another tumbler of water cold.  Take a glass of cold water half-an-hour after lunch, half-an-hour after tea, half-an-hour after dinner, and before going to bed at night.  Never drink between meals.—­Woman’s Life.

 All other methods failing, try putting your watch half-an-hour on
 after each meal.

 hens.
