Galileo : Caustic Humor. - In a biography of Galileo some sto- ries are told of the caustic humorof that hold investigator. Lotarlo Sarsi, a writer on science, having said that the Babyionians used to cook eggs by whirling them in a sling, Galileo re- plied: The cause of such an `eifect is very remote from that to which it is attributed, and to and the true cause I shall reason thus: If an effect does not follow with us which followed with others at another time it is because in our experiments something is want- ing which was the cause of the former success, and if only one thing is want- ing to us that one thing is the true cause. Now we have eggs and slings and strongmen to whlrlsthem, and yet they will not become cooked; nay, if they were hot at rst they more quick- ly become cold, and since nothing is wanting to us but to be Babylonians it follows that being Babylonians is the true cause why the eggs became cook- ed and not to the friction of the air, ' which is` what _I wish to prove.

The verdict of experience and study at the present day is that rheumatism, or whatever -nature, is a blood disease, and the best 3 authorities agree that it is caused by: an excess of uric acid in the blood.

A. 1 remedy must combine the most effec- | tive specifics and it must be prepared ` with such care and skill as to leave no possible element of uncertainty. The result of such study and care is known as `iBu-Ju. This is a vege- table compound in the form of pills which act upon the kidneys in such a way as to stimulate weak organs and overcome clogged or sluggish con- ditions. The kidneys are the lters ot the body. When they work imperfect- ; ly the poison they` should excrete and l expel from the system is returned to the blood. Then ensues blood-poison-` ing. When the kidneys are well the excess of uric acid and other poisons is expelled. the blood is puried, and rheumatism may be left to nature's recuperative action.
