THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT.
TProf. Novy of the University of
Michigan is said to have discovered
the cause of the sleeping sickness
the mysterious West African
disease that has long baffled the
investigators. The dispatches from
Ann Arbor add:- "Prof. Koch the
great German bacteriologist spent
two years in an unsuccessful at-
tempt to find out what Prof. Novy
lias discovered in three months."
It would have been more accurate
to say that Prof. Navy was able to
make this discovery fn three
mouths because Prof. Koch had
spent two- years in insuccessful
research.
A great scientific discovery is
rarely due to one man's ability or
?nce or genius. It represents
the work of many and the man
whose name is finally identified
with the achieven ent may have
made the least valuable contribu-
tions to the discovery. He is likely
to have succeded only because his
predecessors did their work so
well. There is an eminent scientist
in the United States who has spent
years in an effort to determine the
nature of a disease that has inflicted
untold damage upon peach or-
chards. He has been unsuccessful
but the reports of his investigations
embody all that is known in refer-
ence to the subject. When he
was asked if he regarded as wasted
the years that he had spent in his
investigation he replied: ' "Quite
the contrary The work that I
have done has been done for all
time. But some day a man will
come along with the right kiuk in
his brain and-as ar result of my
labor he will discover what I have
missed. He may get the credit
From accounts tnat reach us

Chicago this week the teams play

stayed away from the game fear

in these same United States we
were playing in our flower gardens
with never a" dream of winter. We
have to usa almanacs here to tell
whu it's winter.

we haven't seen so many lately

Somewhat similar is an anecdote

make several journeys to San Fran-

While on one of these long trips
after he had exhausted the stock
of reading matter he had brought
with him he was showing a fellow
passenger a bundle of the popular
magazines that formed a part of
the supply.

A man was accused of haying
stolen a pair of- trousers. There
were several witnesses but the evi-

accused was acquitted. He was told
that he could go but he remained.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
bv local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-'
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have-a rumbling sound or imper-
fect hearing and when it is entirely clos-
ed Deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube . restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by .Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
