First, r.n astrologer must be consulted with regard to the most lucky day for begin- ning the work; then a square suspend- ed from the ridge beam is a notification to the spirits. of darkness. that their dwelling place is to be disturbed, wherefore the square thing for them to do is to move out quietly and peaceful- ly. Next, the carpenters make offer- ings to these unseen residents. These gifts seem to say, “if you please, spir- its of darkness, accept this bribe and speedily take your flight” Next, the neighbors must be warned that these evil influences are about to be turned loose, perhaps to seek shelter under a neighboring rbof.

Stomach-cleaning companies may soon be organized on the same plan that window—cleaning companies now operate, in our cities, writes George B. Waldron in The Illustrated American The work of purifying that all-import- ant organ is done by means of an in- strument called a gyromele, which con sists of a small sponge attached to a spiral steel wire cable enclosed in a tube. The patient swallows the spongc- and a portion of the tube. The turning of the cable causes the sponge to re- volve at such a speed as may be de- sired. By pushing or pulling the cable various portions of the inner wall 01 the stomach may be operated upon. Dr Turck has introduced a new element into the process in Edison’s fluoroscope ,This instrument he puts to his eyes and by means of the X-rays is able to follow the progress of the' sponge along the wall of the stomach and to direct Strangely enough, the precess caused no discomfort to the? pa- tient, though it was continued for more. p... . than an hour. 4 '5 The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told' m the following statement of facts: - They have been In active demand' In the markets of the world since I770. .,; ._ \ Ist. or for nearly one hundred and thirty years. 2d.
