\ HEALTH NEWS. V
A clergyman living near Leyden
was the father of thirteen children.
The eldset, born December 31, 1668,
was Herman Boerhaave, accounted
by many the most famous physician
not only of the 18th but probably of
any century. He died of gout in
1738.
He was an indefatigable teacher,
sometimes lecturing five hours a day
afnrfonta Levden. He was
B the first to give separate lectures on
ophthalmology (the science of disH
esses of the eye) and to use a mag
nifying glass in the examination of
the eye. He combined with a deH
sire to study disease at the bedside, i
9 a freedom from theoretical and phil
osophical influence which led him <
B to use the most modern diagnostic
apparatus which he could secure. ;
He was so famous that a Chinese of- <
B ficial once sent him a letter address- ]
B fed simply "To the most famous :
BLphysician in Europe." His maxim <
BTwas "Simplicity is the seal of truth." <
B; The modern diagnosis of disease ;
B aims to employ every method which <
Will reveal the exact mental and i
H physical condition of the patient. 1
Psycho-analysis will deveal the 1
B depths of the patient's mind as 1
B clearly as the X-ray shows the bro- <
B~ ken bone hidden beneath the body 1
B tissues. The pressure of the blood <
H against the Vessel walls may be ac- 1
curately measured and appropriate <

lectic attack. The bodily excre- <
ions may be analyzed and the effi- i
iency of the excretory organs de- 1
trained. Special apparatus per- J
its the examination of the eye, the
ir, tiie nose, throat, bronchi, and
ie interior of various other parts
' the body. Nothing is taken for
anted; the blood is examined; the
tivity of the stomach is estimated;
e validity of the nervous system 1
looked into. The modern physi- J
in finds the disease beforo he !
jats it. ' . 1
Accurate diagnosis is of import- (
ce to the public health because j
early and correct knowledge of y
i presence of a'disease affords oprtunity
to prevent its spread. The
le of tuberculosis which is found
rly has an infinitely greater
mce of recovery than the one
ich is found late. Boerhaave re- *
jnized these facts in a general '
y and applied them, in fact, ac- ,
ding to Rohlfs, he was the first
o made a chemical examination
some of the bodily excretions.
Consider the automobile. When \
car is going to stand still for \
re than a few minutes the driver
ps the engine. By doing this he \
es gasoline, oil, and above aft, i
less wear and tear on the ma- ?
lery. If he lets the engine "run
i" he has wasted a lot of valuable j
serial, shortened the life of his ]
ine and in the meantime the au- <
Lobile hasn't budged an inch,
lie birds build nests for the pro- (
ion of their young against the i
ither; the foxes dig holes for se- j
ity against foes; the squirrels i
by stores of nuts against the
ling of winter; and dogs bury ,
es against the day when bones ,
be scarce. These are the maniations
of a normal protective 1
inct arising from an experience
many, many generations. So far (

?tried to build more nests than his ;
[v neighbor; no fox ever fretted because
he only had one hole in which ]
? to hide; no squirrel ever died of
jr> anxiety lest he should not lay by ;
; enough nuts for two winters instead ,
t of for one; and no dog ever lost any
r sleep over the fact that he didn't
have enough bones laid aside to pro - (
| vide for his declining years.
fe This protective instinct is also
ss present in the human mind and when
properly directed is a great source
of prosperity both to the individual
\ana the nation. In order for man 1
to store up and lay by, to gain ad- :
vancement either in honor or materi
al tilings, it is necessary that he take !

;r- bat just so soon as he carries this 1
p beyond the normal point the mental 1
process becomes an exaggerated and 1
?| abnormal one. The normal protec:
tive instinct is stimulated by a nor- ]
i mal fear of those events which are ^
' reasonably sure to happen in the ]
I* future unless means are adopted 1
against .them. The moment that '
fear becomes abnormal or exaggerated
it over stimulates this pro- 1
tective instinct and to no good pur- l
l; pose because it results in worry. 1
: This worry continues long after the ;
necessity for the normal stimulus of 1
? fear has passed, with the result that
there is an impairment in mental 1
power and a dissipation 01 tne nervous
forces. In other words the '
r mental engine has been "running ]
idle" and at the same time delivering
no propulsive power. In fact,
worry is an abnormal state.
Not all worry is preventable but
p for the most part it can be avoided.
. Most of our fears are never realized
and as a rule, if we meet our trou.
bles day by day as they come with
out worrying about them before
I they arrive or fretting over them
f after they have passed, we will find
i that we have the strength to rise
above them. Worry undermines the
health to a certain extent. It really
, weakens the mental forces by tiring
; them out by doing nothing. Usually
the relief from worry rests with the
victim of this unhappy habit himself,
but sometimes tne real causes

Slain the condition and we must go
eep into our lives or have the assistance
of those who are skilled in
unraveling mental processes.
The best antidote for worry is a
change of mental occupation, a getting
away from the scenes which
provoke worry exercise in the open
air, a good book, a pleasant recreation,
or temporary change of occupation.
As a matter of mental health
every sufferer from this unfortunate
condition owes ti to himself to
discover some simple means of getting
away from this habit which is
destructive to health and peace of
mind alike.
AMERICAN HEROES ABROAD. I
When the history of the Great
War is written, one of its brightest
pages will tell the story of the American
Ambulance in France. Quite
without any remuneration except the .
satisfaction of work well done in 1
the cause of humanity, two or three I
hundred young American men have f
been risking their lives in the res- ?
cue of wounded soldiers.
One of these young men, Mr. s
Howard Hare Powell, of Newport, *
t? t writ** in Hamer's Bazar for T
February: "When the impulse first j
gripped meto come over here, I had c
been led to expct that I would fetch j
up in a crew of swashbuckling, devil- s
may-care adventurers. Instead, I r
found men I had known at school r
and college, and a lot of other young t
Americans like those one meets everywhere."
c
Young Mr. Powell has for the past r
year been attached to Section Two J
of the American Ambulance, with g
headquarters at the bloodiest spot i
in the world?Verdun. Day after If
day last year the tide of battle flow- s
ed back and forth; a hundred battles s
as desperate and bloody as Waterloo t
or Gettysburg were fought at Ver- s
dun last summer. And every night, 1
the young American drivers of am- 8
bulances came up to the trenches s
under fire to save the wounded sol- *
iiers. Several of these Americans .
have lost their lives; others have re- 1
:eived, for valor, th highest decora- c
tions that the French Government ?
:an bestow. ?
To anyone who likes to read about j
jld-fashioned heroism, we strongly ?
recommend this important article in f
ihe February number of Harper's
Bazar.

GREAT EDITOR PRAISES
LEADING MAGAZINE j
Mr. Arthur Brisbane, who ranks
pre-eminent among the great edi- torial
writers of today, has written I
for the great chain of newspapers
which he represents, a remarkable
editorial about the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
In connection with this I
editorial and the reproduction of
one of Cocmopolitan's copyrighted
drawings, Mr. Brisbane says:
"In reproducing this picture, by permission,
from the Cosmopolitan I
Magazine. In connection with this
now published, we feel bound to add
bhat this is a most extraordinary
and amaziner magazine.
Apparently not SOME but ALL of
the best known writers of this 5
generation say what they have to
say, reveal the works of their imagination
through the pages of
Cosmopolitan.
For instance, the editor has
among his writers Gouverneur Mor- ris,
Robert W. Chambers, John Gals- >
worthy, Jack London, Edith Wharton,
Owen Johnson, Elizabeth
Robins, Amelie Rives, Elinor Glyn.
Some of these we like better than
we like others?but they are all .
extraordinary. J

How such a magazine can be pro

modern industrial problem. See it
