HOMESPUN PHILOSOPHY.
Men May Commit Homicide by Venting;
Their Influenza.
Dr. Herman Koeniger, a German of
high scientific attainments, has for
some time been trying to find out what
becomes of the germs that are released
when a person speaks, coughs and
sneezes, and from the conclusions at
which be has arrived Henri De Par-
ville, a French scientist, feels justified
In claiming that a person may by
simply sneezing commit homicide.
“ 'Dr. Koeniger,” he says, “lias clearly
proved that a person who speaks,
coughs and sneezes is a room In which
there is no appreciable current of air
disseminates germs to a distance of
more than seven meters, and that
these germs are carried in all direc
tions and even to a height of more
than two meters. As few persons talk
alike, the germs disseminated by
speech vary greatly, some of them re-
niainingin suspension for an hour, and
others only for a quarter of an hour,
the latter being especially the case when
there Is even a slight current of air.
“On the other hand, germs are very
quickly disseminated by coughing and
sneezing, and the smaller the microbes
are the further they are
likely to
spread. Among such tiny
niicrol»es
are those of Influenza and the plague,
whereas among the larger ones are
those of tuberculosis and diphtheria.
Evidently, therefore, the danger Is
greatest whenever there Is the greatest
number of microbes within a person's
mouth.
“In view of Dr. Koenlger's discovery
It will be well for everyone to keep as
far away as possible from persons who
cough and sneeze. Physicians advise
persons suffering from colds to gargle
and keep their mouths cleansed, but Is
that sufficient and are any such pre
cautions
guaranty against
diph
theria? In any case a person should al
ways cover his mouth with his hand
or his handkerchief before he coughs
or sneezes. Sneezing seems an In
nocent act, but Dr. Koenlger’s experi
ments show that It could very easily
be used ax a weapon with which to com
mit homicide.”

Nervoiianexe, the Disease That Wreck*
th« Happiness of so Many Women,
Conquered at East.
No incident of the many that are
daily brought to public attention is of
greater human interest than that which
centers about Ellen Pares, the wife of
Mr. David F. Parce, of No. 4 Spruce
St., Binghamton, N. Y. The story is
told by Mrs. Parce as follows:
‘‘It was two years ago this summer
that 1 was in a miserable coudi ion
as tne result of hard work. I was
completely run down, pale and losing
flesh, and so nervous that I could not
sleep or even get rest. It was dread
ful to go to bed at night all worn out
and lie awake for hours with nervous-
uness. If I did fall asleep it was to
wake up in the morning aB tired as
when I went to bed.
“My head troubled me a great deal,
too, both with pain and dizziness. If I
stooped over at any time 1 would be so
dizzy I could hardly see or keep from
falling down. I was troubled some
what with indigestion at this time,
but the nervousness was the greater
trouble. If I became a little excited
my hands would shake so I could hard
ly hold anything in them. I felt that
something must be done so I employed
our best physicians. They did all
they could for me and although I ob
tained some benefit from their treat-
ment, not one of them did me any per
mauent good.
“I had, of course, read of Dr. Wil-
Hams' Piuk Pills for Pale People but
had never taken any of them til) a
friend recommended them to me eo
strongly that 1 got some and before the
first box was used up I began to feel
that they were doing me good. I
kept on taking them according to di
rections and got from them the only
real, permanent benefit 1 have bad
from any remedy. It did seem eo good
to get a night’s sleep and to be re
freshed by It. I am a firm believer in
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple and recommend them to all my
friends. 1 generally keep a box in the
house to take in case 1 feel a little run
down.”
