But there are many other complaints of which the outward symptom Is s change In the color of the patient--Jaundice, for instance, which turns not only the skin, but even the whites of the eyes, to a yellow hue, and leprosy, In which the sufferer becomes silvery in color. In the Bast there have been several epidemics of a mysterious and deadly disease called lcala asar, words which mean "black sickness." The natives have given It this name because a curious darkening of the skin follows an attack. When an epidemic is at its height the deaths reach 90 per cent of thoae attacked. / ; * ' Big Help •Hoes," said the seedy-looking individual, "could you help a fellow--" "I am broke and can't give yon a nickel," lied the victim as he started to hurry on.
