SCIENCE. 



[VuL. XV. No. 385 



the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and will 

 appear quarterly. 



— The Chaiitauquan for July presents among its contents 

 "Summer Health: How to keep It," by Felix Oswald, M.D. ; 

 "The Newer Parts of Canada," by Cyrus C. Adams; "The House 

 of Representatives," by Eugene L. Didier; "Altruism and the 

 Leprosy," by Frances Albert Doughty ; "How to conduct a Round

 Mary S. Torrey; "Homesteads for Women," by Kate Carnes;

— President Jordan of the University of Indiana will contribute 

 to the July Popular Science Monthly an article on "Evolution 

 and the Distribution of Animals," in which he shows what bear- 

 ing the fact of certain animals being found or not found in certain 

 localities has on the origin of species. The ninth of Dr. Andrew 

 D. White's new chapters in the "Warfare of Science" will be 

 published in the same number. Its subject is "The Antiquity of 

 Man and Prehistoric Archaeology;" and it tells how step by step 

 "thunder-stones," or "heaven axes," came to be recognized as 

 flint implements of human make, and how their discovery, to- 

 gether with bones of men and of extinct animals in the drift, es- 

 tablished the very early appearance of man upon the earth. This 

 number will also contain an article by August Weismann on 

 "The iVIusical Sense in Animals and Men," in which he argues, 

 that, "as man possessed musical hearing-organs before he made 

 music, those organs did not reach their present high development 

 through practice in music;" and an article entitled "Concerning 

 Corporation Law," by Amos G. Warner. This last points out the 



main defects in the hotchpotch of laws regardins; corporations in 

 the United States, and gives four particulars in which our cor- 

 poration law could be reformed so as to prevent frauds and secure 

 greater responsibility. 



— In the July issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics 

 (published for Harvard University by George H. Ellis, Boston), 

 H. Higgs of London will write on Frederic Le Play, the French 

 social writer and reformer, and will give a specimen of that writ- 

 er's monographs on workmen's lives. Horace White of New 

 York will discuss the silver situation with reference to pending 

 legislation, and F. B. Hawley will write on the "Residual Theory 

 of Distribution." Edward Cummings, holder of the Paine Fel- 

 lowship of Harvard University, will have an article on " Co-op- 

 erative Production in France and England," giving an account, 

 among other matters, of the extraordinary mismanagement of the 

 legacy left by Benjamin Rampal to the city of Paris for the pur- 

 pose of aiding co-operation. There will be notes by Thomas L. 

 Greene of New York on changes in the form of railway capital, 

 with special reference to the growing use of income bonds; by T. 

 E. Jevons, on the "Mathematical Treatment of the Theory of 

 Distribution;" and by A. C. Miller of Harvard University, on the 

 "Recent Conversion of the English Debt from 3 to 3J Per Cent 

 Interest." The number will contain the usual general notes and 

 memoranda, and list of recent economic publications. 



— Messrs. Ginn & Co. announce a revised edition of the "Hand 

 Book of Latin Writing," by Preble & Parker. The revision ex- 

 tends to almost every page, and includes the results of five years' 

 experience with the book, and of the growth of composition study 

 at Harvard. 



A Hew Method of Treating Disease. 



HOSPITAL REMEDIES. 



What are they ? There is a new departure in 

 the treatment of disease. It consists in the 

 collection of the specifics used by noted special- 

 ists of Europe and America, and bringing them 

 within the reach of all. For instance, the treat- 

 ment pursued by special physicians who treat 

 indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, 

 was obtained and prepared. The treatment of 

 other physicians celebrated for curing catarrh 

 was procured, and so on till these incomparable 

 cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, 

 female weakness, rheumatism and nervous de- 

 bility. 



This new method of " one remedy for one 

 disease " must appeal to the common sense of 

 all sufferers, many of whom have experienced 

 the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the ab- 

 surdity of the claims of Patent Medicines which 

 are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single 

 bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, 

 Aas ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A cir- 

 cular describing these new remedies is sent free 

 on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital 

 Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole pro- 

 prietors.

CATARRH 



Catarrhal Deafness— Hajr Fever. 



A NEW HOME TREATMENT. 



Sufferers are not generally aware that these 

 diseases are contagious, or that they are due to 

 the presence of living parasites in the lining 

 membrane of the no~e and eustachian tubes. 

 Microscopic research, however, has proved this 

 to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is 

 that a simple remedy has been formulated where- 

 by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are 

 permanently cured in from one to three simple 

 applications made at home by the patient once 

 in two weeks. 



N.B. — This treatment is not a snuff or an 

 ointment ; both have been discarded by repu- 

 table physicians as injurious. A pamphlet ex- 

 plaining this new treatment is sent free on 

 receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A. H. Dix- 

 on & Son, 337 and 339 West King Street. 

 Toronto, Canada. — Christian Advocate. 



Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should care- 

 fully read the above.
