A German physician who has a bent for statistics is responsible tor the statement that the human frame is liable to 1,100 diseases. If he is correct one can but marvel at how few ot these ailments the average person manages to contract during a lifetime. The eye alone ls subject to no less than 48 distinct and different affec tions. Considering Its apparent vul nerability to contagion lt escapes with great good luck, but In reality it is not as exposed as at first thought would seem. The eyelids are auto matic In their protection of the eye ball, and the first Instinct is to snap ?shut when a blow ls directed toward them. Incidentally they "oil" the eye and keep its surface free from dust, etc. It is for the good of the ??um an race that ? the practice of medicine has changed during the last twenty five years. Formerly there was a specific remedy for each disease, and the poor patient was almost drugged to death. Nowadays physicians rec ognize that' healing ls a matter of restoring normal conditions, and more attention Is given to favorable Influences of mind and surroundings and less to medicine. The German doctor's figures are rather appalling, but the dally pro grc >t, 'ii ho science of health and healing io rapidly reducing the num ber of dangerous diseases, and ulti mately may eliminate them. Study and experiment have marched far. Tuberculosis, the white plague, will be fought to a standstill within a few years, the average standard of hoalth and strength will be raised and the average duration of life will be prolonged. Thus medicine wins greater victo ries In the science of prevention than it ever won in the science of healing. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

It Comes As Naturally and Is As Welcome A s Sleep. The fear of death, which has been so enormously exploited in dramatic literature, sacred and otherwise, ls said to be almost without existence in sickness. Most patients have lost it completely by the time they be come seriously ill. Death and sleep are both painless, according to Dr. Woods Hutchinson in tho American Magazine, and cause neither fear not anxiety by their ap proach. It is one of the most merci ful things in nature that the over whelming majority of the* poisons which destroy life, whether they are those of infectious diseases or those which are elaborated from the body's own waste products, act as narcotics and abolish consciousness long before the end comes. While death is not in any sense nnnlogou8 to sleep, lt resembles lt to the extent tabt lt is in the vast ma jority of Instances not only not pain ful, but welcome. Pain racked and fever scorched patients long for death as the wearied toller longs for sleep. While many of the processes which lead to death are painful, death ltuolf is painless, natural, like the fading of a flower or the falling of a leaf. Our dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide of life without fear, without pain, without regret, save for those they leave behind. When death comos close enough so that wo can see the eyes behind the mask, his face becomes as welcome as that of his "twin brother," sleep. TI IE UEJL.?!
