They have been enjoying the sum- ‘ 7- nannln in Ottawa The vagrant’s remedy for hun- gerâ€"that of tightening his belt, as been put to scientific test by Dr. R. Leenhoff a German invest- igator. Drinks and solid foods were made opaque by the addition of a metallic salt, and the effect of swallowing these articles was then watched by means of X-rays. It was shown that the simple act of swallowing caused the stomach to contract by reflex action, thus hastening satiation. When solid food was swallowed, the contrac- tion of the stomach was seen, a relatively small amount being needed to satisfy the appetite; the swallowing of liquids gave less contraction, a larger quantity of such food bein n: necessary, and when the liqui was passed into the stomach through a tube, without swallowing, twice as much was necessary as before. It was concluded that artificial. pressure v---- on the stomach «must have. the same effect as swallowing. Furth- er experiment confirmed this, and in all cases persons eating as they pleased took less when wearing a tight belt around the waist than when without the belt. ~When, however, liquid food was intro- duced through a tube, the belt had no effect whatever on satisfying the appetite, so that swallowing evidently plays some part even when aided by artificial pressure.

Experiments in cholera prevention have been recently in progress at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The physicians, Charles Nicolle, A. Conor and E. Conseil, report that a culture of the chol- era bacillus was used. free from dead bacilli, and the harmful pro- ducts of living bacilli, and that the inoculations were tried on 36 patients. It was demonstrated that a healthy person could be made so immune that in three cases water contaminated by chol- era patients actually produced no ill effects. The injection is usual- ly made late in the afternoon About two hours later a sensa- tion of cold is felt. followed by fever-like sweats, and a rise in temperature that may reach 103 degrees.
