Diseases cured or Improved by cold air
are evidently much more numerous than

Rosa and Thompson report that their ani

classical experiments with tuberculosis

cold air, but hot air hastens th appear

not only due to the fast that the organ

the children are more susceptible.
Cold air In yellow fever haa been both
suggested and condemned and must, be
further studied. All In all. there Is no
doubt that we must spend as .. mack

The bracing effect of cold on the ner

It la largely a racial matter that Intel

The blood pressure In cold air must be
studied at once, sa It may be the key to
much which Is now locked from us. The
arterial tension Is generally reduced at
first when one goes to high altitudes,
but It Is later Increased, ae a rule, and
thta may be due to the eoM, and not a re

ground that the maker of the transfer,

In theosophy, and therefore Insane. In

"The circumstance that a man is ob

To call a beHef 'extraoridnary and

It that the theosophlsts wit doubtless

every sfaaatma will view him with stern
