It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear oner suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Aibany, (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come aod see his child, then very sick with cranp. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends uotil he has a conk stant demand for it from that part of the country. For sale by Aibert C. Mason, druggist.

HUMAN BODY'S ODOR

It Enables Animals to Trace Men Through the Densest Jangles.

The fact that certain animals, and especially the dog. will recognize the or propinquity of their masters friend» although it may have been im- possible for them to have seen them or heard their voices has long since sig- gested to physiologists and others the idea that every human being has a dis. tinctive odor peculiar to himself, and which remains more or less constant. Otherwise, how would it be possible for the bloodhound, for Instance, to take the trail of an individual and fol- low It for miles through crowded thoroughfares, as well as through open country, and unerringly pick out the in- dividual from among hundreds of oth- ers ?

This idea has recently received a sig- nal verification, as we are told hy Dr. Bett in the Archiv der Gesammten Physlologie. The doctor states that a friend of his, with bandaged eye and every precaution against collusion, was enabled by the sense of smell alone to recognize persons with whom he was acquainted, and to call their names the moment they came into the room and at the distance of several paces. The exper ments were varied in n number of ways, but with the unerring faculty of the bloodbound, this man detected the identity of every individual present. ed. Other instances of a similar keen- ness are cited by Dr. Bett. According to the man who gava the exhibition, every family has a characteristic odor common to all the members thereof. but the intensity of which usually varies sufficientiy among the various members to enable bim to distinguish each individual .- Indian Lancet.

THE EXPERT WITNESS.

His Ahined Tendency to Befog # 51m- ple Question in Technical Elseidation.

One of the besetting sins of the ex. pert witness is the habit or tendency to use a lot of Latin words in describa- ing an injury to the jury. In some ex- ceptional cases, doubtless, this is done wilhout affectation or for a purpose, but we have uo hesitation in saying that iu the ntajorlty of Instances it ix a very good index of the learning and capacity of the expert, on the assump- liou that the more words of this sort are used tbe more probability there is that they cover a deficiency of knowl- elge and thorough grounding ou the part of the user. A really able man In his profession will always accommo- date himself to circumstances, and, realizing the capacity of the average juror, use very different forms and methods of expression in testifying be- fore court and jury than if he were making an address or delivering a paper on some scientific subject before an audience of bis professional hreth- ren.

A physiclan, for example, wbo, when upon the stand. he is asked to describe something to the jury, uses all the high- sounding terms and expressions he can muster, deserves to have very little attention paid to hls testimony-and usually gets his deserts. An amusing example of this truth is given in the following account of an actual happen- ing in an English court. It is from a little book entitled "Hints on Advo- acy," publisbed first in England:

"I discovered considerable ecchy- mosis under the left orbit, caused by extravasation of blood beneath tbe cuticle," said a young house surgeon, In a case of assault, at the assizes. you Baron Bramwell-I suppose megn tbe man bad & black eye? Scientific Witness-Precisely., my

lord.

"Perhaps, if you had said so in plain English, those gentlemen would better understand you."

"Precisely, my lord," answered tbe learned surgeon, evidently delighted

that rne junge understood bis meaning. This incident, which might be paral- leled many times In court in this conn. try. carrles Its own comment. Whst the jury wants is to be enlightened on disputed polnts, and the way to do this is not to use purely technical expres- sions, but to explain in plain, homely language. There is no danger that In doing this the expert will be liable to detract from the general estimate of his own abilities, but rather the reverse will be the case .- Albany Law Journal.
