Milestones about eminent beasts are always separated from human Milestones by what printers call a hair line, after the end of the human list. The death of Blue Boy, star hog cinemactor of State Fair, was thus reported, as were the deaths of Rin Tin Tin, Balto, Khartoum the elephant, Psyche the laboratory monkey. —ED.

Cured

Sirs:

In one of your November issues under Medicine was an article in regard to the death of Texas Guinan and the epidemic of amebic dysentery in Chicago (TIME, Nov. 20). I read the article with great interest because I had visited the Fair a very few weeks previous. During the latter part of December I began to have internal disorders and my local physician was not concerned about my troubles, but having your article seriously in mind I told him the story and immediately we consulted a specialist and an examination disclosed that I had amebic dysentery.

Thanks to your news item and the thoroughness with which you try to cover news, my illness was cured very quickly and perhaps I owe my life to your magazine. I have read your magazine thoroughly from your very first publication so you see it has not been read in vain.

Farm Journal

Sirs:

See p. 28, second column, issue Jan. 29, about farm papers. American Farming is no longer published. Last issue was April 1932. We know because we were printing it. Your source of information, therefore, is two years behind the times. . . .
