Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, first aid for Coughs. Colds. Inflnenza.—Advt. Forgotten and ignored for centuries, a stone vessel for holding baptismal water dating back to the earliest Christian era of Westphalia, about 998 A.D., stands in the transept of the Church of St. Gertrude in Wattenscheid. It was not until 1922 that archaeological experts discovered the true value of this relic of the remote past. The baptismal basin is supported by three standing lions of stone which are considered contemporaneous counter-parts of the famous lions of the Alhambra palace of Granada. London has lately had a strange example of mass suggestion. In one of the new plays a scene is laid in the operating theatre of a hospital. Several dramatic critics said afterwards that a strong smell of iodoform came from the stage. None was used. The critics, it is suggested, imagined they smelled the iodoform because the sight of the operating theatre recalled the smell of antiseptics to them.
