MORRIS FISHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine The sense of determining odors is far better developed in the lower animals than it is in man. Higher civilization makes man less and less dependeit on his sense of smell, but it may be of great value to the human being who-gives it & fair chance to be of service. There are some occupations, par- ticularly those having to- do with tasting, in which the sense of smell is highly cultivated. It is generally recognized that the scnse of taste is largely dependent on the sense of smell for its full enjoyment.

But he preserved a qulet stern- ness now; indeed, th young fac grew more composed as the situa- tion seemed to acquire seriousness. “The police have interviewed you as to all this?” he asked of Mr. Giddings, “Many times, especfally in the last twenty-four hours.” “Why so much questioning?” put in Rigegs. “Because they want to be sure that it was Mr. Sears who bought here as To be sure, he had waited a few | moments to consider; to be sure, he | |had sent a hurry call for a great | |and famous detective, but his fine, | | clear eyes had shown no hint of fear | | mdthod was planned and carefully |import and a murderer of cunning. {And I'm going to get him!

But that amounts to nothing. Of course, the minor bene- ficlaries might be thought of, but they're only servants and a few old friends. No, the motive for this crime was a deep one, and the about one square inch of such cells, which is a small amount as con- trasted with that of many of the lower animals. In the same way, the organs for registering smell in the brain of man are much smaller proportionately than those of the animal. In a recent consideration of the value of the sense of smell to the physician, Dr. William J. Mayo points out that a surgeon with an especially trained sense of smell will recognize many abnormal conditions, while walking through a hospital ward. Before the advent of modern laboratory technique physicians were able to recognize typhold fever by a particular odor, for the membrane in diphtheria had an odor which was peculiar to it. During the most recent epidemic of influenza many physicians pointed out that persons suffering with this disease had a perspiration with a definite odor. Some poisons, particularly cya- nide, have an odor which is distinc- tive. Tn the case of the cyanide, the odor is that ot almonds. Man has but five fundamental senses. He seldom uses these to the maximum of their possible de- velopment. More and more he has come to depend on prolongation of these senses by the use of magnify- ing instruments, such as the micro- scope for enlarging objects of small size so that they may be more read- ily seen, or radlo tubes which ralise sounds of small dimensions into terrific blasts, such as may be heard by any ear. carried out.
