It is atural that such results should have tiVen rise to the fond hope of toeing ble to use the same serum in the 'treatment of epileptics, but we were oon face to face with tlie fact that' vhe serum when used in tne numan ' fiubject, proved locally and systemat ically so irritating that its employ- Ssietn became impractical. It was nec Ijssary to weaken, attenuate or do lomething that would render tne se rum not only beneficial but also abso lutely harmless. It was tedious labor, ljecting one animal after anotner, fhanglner concentrations of solutions, 3-, - . ... Irawing spinal fluid from patients ana iking various combination, and nat- Irally was very discouraging when the Inally produced serum, in the absence if all Irritating characteristic, was Oound'to have no curative value. The description of manipulations rhich followed this state of affair ap peals only to the trained min of the iboratory physician, for which reason is omitted. The fundamental prm- ple which led to success was the fact lat cne specmc ana reponsiui ittietn was extracted from the serum. pie anti-epileptic serum so proaucea pmbines absolute harmlessness with f" 'oven .efficiency supplant the ob nt)rmailA Jir-nnlrtps and other drugs. p long and so disastrously used by bllentics. .

He who .."now speaks of ne prognosis of epilepsy can no longer Vonounce the horrible disease incur jble with the same ring of positive fess which formerly characterized his jhhouncement The present genera -. on witnessdVthe production of .a i Specific v anti-epileptic, the long looked : or remedy rising from the laboratory ff present day workers Epileptics' of j 'the present' generation will be able to J "eceive treatment with the same f (chance of success as is now obtained toy the modern treatment of syphilis; land the coming generation will not be n position! to- realize the grea boon tlacedat its .command; they will be less Keenly affected, for they will not have, as is the case now, harbored epileptics, for prolonged periods. They will not have known the pangs im parted by the knowledge that . some, day death will compel . them to leave their epileptics in' the care of stran gers, in the care of an unsympathetic world; they willnot have . travelled from one end of the country to the other in vain search of' relief; they I will all in alV-mccept recovery from jepilepsyas a matter of cqurse without i navngr xe jtjjen,ai?tacnes oi I those who now care, for epileptics. It is only by such comparison that the ! supreme importance of , present day achievement along epilepsy research can in a measure be realized. t 'When you are 'told that a serum has f "Been discovered that will effect eDi- flepsy more 'beneficially than any other ? form of treatment and that there-are now former, patients who 'after years or anncuon ana after having rnad ! from -many attacks daily to several ; weekly and monthely. that such pa 'tieiVts have, actually been fee from attacks for months and years' 'follow- ffng the serum treatment, while others f qave been enabled to "lea.ve. the- asy lpm and return. to normal and useful j occupations, that they have re-gained 4 their, normal faculties and that none fof the serum patients has received an ! atom of suppressive drugs, you may j wonder why, when there are 175,000 e'pileptlcg in this country, why thou sands of these epileptics- do not rush in - to' avail tnemselves of ,'the treatment (which has in every respect proven . Capable to accomDlish more trnnri han any other 'method thus far 1 known. The reason for this Is that we have always some people who f delight in y thrnwlTIr ctnmhHnw Vilnnlr. j Into the road or progress. True the f efforts of all adversaries to a real i i ii . meritorious innovation cannot pre vail forever, but for a while they im pede progress. In scanning the pages I ;Kf history you invariably 'meet in stances where every new discovery - was met by antagonism of the dis coverers' contemporaries, but whch Were later generally accepted. AHjBUch difficulties with which 'the road of -progress is beset, have' not , distracted from the efficiency' of their ffemedy nor from the credit which is now universally given these scientists. $o we stand to-day on the threshold which leads to the only logical and practical treatment for epilepsv. the I only because it is like no other, based upon the specific cause of the dis ease. At no. time before this has the I real cause of .epilepsy been so thor- wighrjr understood as now and never fjjfore have we been able to direct Weatment to the cause of the disease with as much benefit and absence of harm and never are the event of the ajnei-epileptic serum have so . many epileptics successfully been treated." ; WM..HELD, M.

BEATRICE) GRIMSHAW. Advertise in The Farmer I It was Just a decade ago that Bea trice Grimshaw became a name known and vadmired throughout the English speaking world by reason of her au thorship of that deliciously humorous tale, "Vaiti of the Islands." Miss Grimshaw has since written several other novels and volumes of travel, but, in the opinion of most of her ad mirers, "Vaiti" still remains in a class by itself. Born at Clona, in bounty Antrim, north of Ireland, she was ed ucated at Caen, France;- Victoria Col lege In Belfast, and Bedford College in London. She then entered Journal Ism in Dublin ,and for four years was editor of the Dublin Social Review. After that she set out on her travels, which were mainly far from the beaten track of tourists. She wandered alone all over the South Seas, and through out the little known cannibal country of Papua, New Guinea. It was in the South Seas that she gained the ma terial for "Vaiti," while her New Guinea experiences supplied the in spiration for her latest novel, "No body's Island." ; Fiji, the New Heb rides and Solomon islands know her well, and . she has also traveled over the greater part of North America, Australia, New Zealand. Europe and , northern Africa. Miss Grimshaw still (makes her home in her native .Ire land when she is home, which is seldom.
