THE CURE OF TREMBLING OF J
DISABLED SOLDIE Its
The Correspondenzblatt der Oen
eraikomission der Gewerksohaften
Deutschlajids of September 1, says:
"The nervous affection among
soldiers, which causes a con
stant trembling of the whole or
part of the body, seems much worse
to the onlookers than to the ac
tjai sufferers, and on .this account
has often made it very difficult for
the latter to obtain employment, eSr
Decially as the malady was sup
posed to be incurable. As early as
a year ago, however, Sauitatsrat
Dr. Ernst Beyer, chief physician bf
the neTve hospital at Roderbirken,
near Leiohlingen, declared that this
trembling could be cured. The re
sults obtained at the time were
not very satisfactory, but m|inwhile
it has been found possible to re
move trembling and other nervous
twitchiugs 'with a rapidity and a
certainty formerly considered im
possible.' Dr. Beyer reported late
It that many hundreds of those
arfected in this way had been cured
of their trouble—over 300 bo far
iii the institution conducted by
him, where the new process has
been in use since November 17,
1916.
"By the application 01 u bih««
flectric current, which causes no
pain, or, even apart from that by
t e exercise, according to certain
instructions, of the muscles af
fected, good results haye often been"
obtained in a few minutes or at the
longest after two and a half hours.
A course of treatment is still re
quired after this, which does not
last more than two or three weeks,
and in light cases is finished after
a few days. The doctor must also
be called in again in the case of new
attacks due to excitement. Those
<vno have recovered, however, know
that the malady- is easily curable,
and by their own efforts can get
over 6Uch new attacks or help cou
'iderabley toward a cure."

Washington, Jan. 24.—The coan
mo» belief that country boys are
superior physically to those bred in
the city is not supported by the re
cords of the selective draft.
A special comparison made by
the provost marhal general's of
fice betweeil 10 large cities and
10 rural counties in various paTts
of the country shows that the re
sult was virtually a tie, as 28.47
per cent of the city boys were re
Jpcted, as agaisnt 27.96 per cent of
the country boys.
"The country lad," Bays General
