ISFORTUNE, which erushes some,

fort, Shakespeare makes Cassius say,
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not with
our stars, but with ourselves.”
The newspapers recently told of a
tragic occurrence In one of our great
cities, A prosperous baker, who had
Invested his savings In city real estate,
died several years ago, leaving three
children, all grown. The daughter was
normal, but the two sons had been
blind since early childhood. The
daughter carried on the business and
took care of her two blind brothers
The three lived much to themselves,
the men never going out of the house
withcut the sister to guide them.
Recently, the neighbors noticed that
the house was closed and apparently
deserted. After walting a week, the
police broke in to find the sister dead
on the floor, apparently from heart
disease, and the two brothers dead
from starvation, With money In the
bank and valuable realgestate In thelr
possession, they died for lack of food
because they were totally dependent
on their sister and had never learned
to care for themselves.

thousands of scrofulous children were
brought to the king for cure
Some of these children recovered or
improved, because they were carried
by thelr parents for days or even
weeks from thelr homes all over Eng-
apd to Londen and so got fresh air
and sunlight, which they never would
have had otherwise,
But it wasn't the king's touch that
cured them. King William of Orange,
who, with his wife Mary, ruled Eng-
lend from 1088 to 1702, was the last
English king who touched for the dis
ease and evidently he had little faith
in his ability to cure, To one man
whom he touched he said “God give
you good health and better sense.”
After Koch discovered the germ of
tuberculosis In 1882, it was found that
scrofula in the glands, lupus In the
skin, and consumption In the lungs
were all different forms of the same
disease. For twenty years more, sur
geons treated scrofula by removing the
diseased, broken-down glands and
draining the abscesses which had
formed. This left ugly scars
Tubercular glands in the neck were
common in all hospitals, dispensaries
and surgical clinfes, Then [t was

by milk from tubercular cows. This
