It was supposed that the bottom of the foot adhered to the glass by suction, all air beneath it being pressed out, so that it was held in plaice by the pressure of the air without, but flies have been known to walk on the inner side of a glass receiver after all the air had been exhausted, which shows that they do not need the pressure of the air to uphold them. A microscopic examination of fly's foot clearly disproves the "sucker" theory, for the foot cushion is covered with hairs, which prevent a close contact of the foot with the glass. A later theory, propounded by Hooke, was that flies stick to the glass by means of a viscous fluid substance which exudes
Fbyslcians In the United States.
An interesting satistical article on the medical colleges, physicians, etc., of the United States, based on the last edition of Polk's Medical and Surgical Register and the census of 1890, has been prepared. According to this authority, the ratio of physicians of all kinds in the United States is about one to six hundred and thirteen of the population. This estimate is based on a population of sixty-five millions, and one hundred and six thousand of the physicians are thought to come under the head of "regular," while twentysix thousand represent -.he eclectic, homeopathic, physio-medico and other sects, together with professional quacks and irregulars in geneial.
Retribution.
The proprietor of a Maine summei resort, who sorght to doceive his guests by having a thermometer constructed of sufficient length to allow the bulb to be concealed in an ice box, has come to grief. The guests would take a look at the mercury and then insist on having wood fires kindled in their rooms.

Invention.
RANK'S coupler may succeed to the renowned Murphy's button as a means of joining together several intestines. It is the invention of Dr. Jacob Frank, surgeon to the St. Elizabeth and German hospitals, in Chicago, and has
been tried there with great success. The delicate operation of joining together the ends of an intestine, where rt has divided accidentally, or surgically, was long rendered doubly dangerous by the process of sewing the flesh together. Dr. Murphy invented his metalic button by which the ends were held together, and which passed out after the wound had healed. This proved of great value.

from the hairs in their feet. This theory was thoroughly investigated twelve years or so ago by Dr. Ronibout, who demonstrated that it was only partly sound, for, though these hairs do certainly exude an oily fluid, the fluid is not sticky and does not harden when dried. It is to Dr. Rambout's experiments that science owes what is now regarded as the true theory of the walking of flies on smooth substances, that they he.ng on by the help of capillary adhesion—the molecular attraction between solid and liquid bodies. By a series of nice calculations—such as weighing hairs and measuring their diameters, and immersing the cut end of a hair in oil or water to make it adhere when touched to glass—Dr. Rombout proved that capillary attraction would uphold a fly were It fourninths as heavy again as it is at present. It is true that the foothairs are very minute, but as each fly is said to be furnished with ten to twelve thousand of them, we need not be surprised at what they can do. Reasoning from this theory, we might conclude that flies find it difficult to mount a glass slightly dampened, because of the repulsion between the watery surface and the oily liquid exuding from their i'eet, and we must likewise expect them to be impeded by a slight coating of dust, because the spaces between the hairs would be filled with dust. Careful observation seems to confirm these Inferences. When we see a fly making his toilet, he is not, as we might suppose, cleaning his body, but his feet, so that they may the more readily adhere. Everyone has noticed how quickly a fly takes flight, even when he has been dozing half an hour in the same position. This new theory makes it easier to understand how he can so readily detach himself for the airpressure theory and the "gum" theory both implied more or less effort in releasing his feet from their involuntary hold.—Our Animal Friends.
Dr. Frank's coupler consists of two decalcified bone collars, with six needle holes at the apex or shoulder of each, and one piece of ordinary gum tubing, seven-eighths of an inch in length and five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter.
It is prepared for use in the following manner: A collar is slipped over a piece of tubing until the apex is brought to a level with the end of the rubber tubing, when an ordinary medium-sized curved needle, threaded with No. 6 braided silk, is carried through each opening and is tied this fastens the collar to the tube. The other collar is next fitted snugly to the one already fastened, and is then in like manner sewed to the other end of the tube and placed in absolute alcohol until needed for use. The rubber tubing to which the collars have been sewed serves subsequently for the passage of the intestinal contents.
The bases of the collars, which are formed into a broadened rim, are held firmly in apposition throughout their whole circumference. In coupling a severed intestine the ends are brought over each collar and crowded within the line of junction of the two. This forces the two collars apart, and the rubber tubing to which the collars have been attached draws them together again with sufficient pressure to cause, in medical parlance, "a necrosis of interposed intestine." Four days after this connection has been made the two ends of the intestine have grown together as naturally and as thoroughly as a piece of rubber tubing could be melted together. At the same time the collar has dissolved, and with the tubing has passed away.
The preparations of the bone collars before they can be used for welding the intestines is interesting. In the first place, the collars are carved out of sound, very compact bone, which is obtained from the lower hind legs of four-year-old oxen. In their primarv state they are almost as hard as metal, and would not dissolve much quicker.

In August 1895, I was taken down in bed ivith a burning and severe pains in my stomach and under my shoulders, and dizziness in my head," writes Ira D. Herring. Ksq., of Needniore, Levy Co.. Fla. Mv home physician was called and he said my symptoms were more like consumption than anything else. I lingered in this way seven months trying different kinds of medicine. Nothing that I ate would digest, and I had great distress in my stomach. I was persuaded to try some of Dr. Pierce's remedies or to see whSt he thought of my case. I wrote him and received an answer stating that my suffering was from indigestion and torpid liver, and advising me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The first bottle gave pleasing results.
