EASTERN MEDICINES.
In some parts «of Japan the mere
skin of a snake is still supposed to
be a sovereign cure for pains in the
abdomen. Turtles are regarded with
great awe in China and elsewhere,
and so, too, are tigers’ bones and car
bonized monkeys’ skulls, which lat-_
ter are prepared by putting them
into vessels exposed to heat until the
crania are thoroughly calcined.
Birds, too, are carbonized for medici
nal purposes, while the nests of cer
tain swallows, made out of the gelat
inous substances ^of seaweeds partly
digested and disgorged, form a most
invigorating tonic for the sick.

The man whose office is on the
tenth floor is apt to complain of the
climb-it when the elevator isn’t run
