fourth of a pint
or one pint of water at 85 degrees. (With some of the prepared
flours--Bishop's, for example--no yeast is required). As soon as the dough
is mixed put it into tins and place them immediately in the oven; should
be made into small dinner rolls and baked on flat tins. The loaves take
about one and one-half hours to bake, and the rolls three-fourths of an
hour. Either are easily made. The addition of a little salt improves the
bread. (When any special brand of flour is used, the directions that
accompany it should be followed closely).

A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUR LEADING SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE:
ALLOPATHY, HOMEOPATHY, OSTEOPATHY AND ECLECTICISM.

ALLOPATHY.--Literally the word Allopathy means "other suffering," from the
Greek "allos" meaning other, and "pathos" meaning suffering. A more
liberal translation would be,--other methods of treating suffering. The
term was first used during the latter part of the eighteenth century by
Hahnemann, the founder of the Homeopathic School, to distinguish the
ordinary or regular practice of medicine as opposed to Homeopathy.

Notwithstanding the comparatively recent origin of the term, however, the
methods and theories of Allopathy are based empirically upon the results
of the practice of medicine since the time of Galen, and logically upon
the scientific facts disclosed by modern research and study. In its broad
and popular sense, Allopathy is the preservation of health and the
treatment of disease by the use of any means that will produce a condition
incompatible with the disease.

The application of the theories and methods of this "old school"
necessitates a thorough knowledge of anatomy, pharmocology, pathology,
bacteriology, physiology and other sciences. At the present time much
stress is also laid upon the means for the prevention and the eradication
of diseases and their causes. The inefficiency of drugs is recognized and
besides the articles of the Materia Medica the "regular" physician makes
use of antitoxins, vaccines, surgery, electricity, baths, etc., in
treating diseases. Everyday examples of their methods may be seen in the
use of quinine in Malaria, antitoxins in Diphtheria and vaccines in
Smallpox, etc.

HOMEOPATHY.--This school was founded by Hahnemann, who lived in Germany
over a hundred years ago. Everyone now admits that he was a great scholar.
In translating a materia medica he was very much struck with the articl
