ALCOfOL IN SEPTIC Ed1IA, DIPHTHERIA
AND Ci1OLEUA INFANTUM.
One of the most desperate cases
of puerpettsf septicaemia that ever
crone under our observation, made
a good recovery by the free use of
alcohhol. During throe weeks,
with a temperature falling now and
then to 95 ° and rising to 107 ° ,
the patient wits nourished by whis-
key and water exclusively, and was
constantly bathed and swathed with
alcohol. Other antiseptic measures
were used, such as vaginal douches
of the hydrargyri bichloride and
tho carbolic acid spray; but the
central element of treatment was
alcohol. This was continued until
all evidence of sepsis subsided.
Alcohol, wo make bold -to say,
is the prince of antiseptics and the
most perfect and reliable of which
we have any knowledge in diph-
theria. Diluted with equal parts
of water and given in small and re-
peared doses the malignant symp-
toms of this most fatal malady soon
disappear and convalescence becomes
assured. It is interesting to .note
with what facility the alcohol dis-
solves the diphtheritic exudation
in the throat, lowers the temper-
ature and becalms the pulse, show-
ind its destructive action upon the
germs of the disease which have boon
absorbed in the glands and gained
access to the blood, This remedy
has been used by us in the treat -
1 dur-
au diphtheria u 7.,
treat-
ment of ill lthe a slue 8
p
,
which tiluo no case of the disease
has slipped through.our hands ex-
cept in .ono solitary instance, and
that case was in arti.culo mortis,
before the remedy was given. The
remedy is also prophylactic to the
disease as wo have found in many
instances where it hs not been ex-
pedient to quarantine the patient.
For this pLi•pose,:1t is - only necess-
ary for exposed persons to use the
remedy, diluted as above stated, as
a gargle and to swallow a little of it
throe or four titles a day. Tho
ease with which the remedy may bo
prepared and administered to child
ren of all ages is a point of no mean
advantage.
The importance of the subject
will excuse the mention of the nee
of alcohol as ct most valuable ad-
junct iu treatment of infants stiffer-
ing from another and. a most fatal
form of blood-poisou-that of
cholera infantnrn. ' It is a certain
and most valuable remedy in the
severer forms of cholera infantum,
in tlho fotin of brandy, one -part di-
luted in twelve parts of boiled
-water with an added minimum of
sugar or glycerine, withholding
other nourishment, meanwhile, u'n-
111 the stomach can bear it. It. has
served us unfailingly in many des-
perate cases of the malady. The
remedy is an effective auxiliary in
cholera morbus as well.

How the Old Man Cornered Ulna
' He was Scotch, and therefore
cautious about accepting any state-
ment as an uuqu.estiouable fact. It
was with grave doubt, therefore,
that he read a publication by an
eminent physician in which it was
laid down that alcohol, from a
medical point of view, wise practi-
cally au "instrument ul' precision"
-as touch so in fact as a modern
rifle. In eagor search after truth
ho deterluined to Make experiments
ou a grand scale upon his own per-
son with whiskey ono night. Next
day he narrated the result of his in-
vestigations to an intimate friend,
thus :
"Eh, mon i I was awfu' drunL-
last nicht. When I got hatne toy
fattier was in bed wi' the door o' his
room a wet bittie open. So I went
crawlin' an' crawlin' up the stair
till I wits near the door•, when he
cries oot, "Donald?" and I says
" Yuss, faither." He says, " You're
drunk," an' I says, " I'm no drunk."
1Thon he says uaethiu' mair, an' I
went crawlin' up the stair. Sud-
denly he cries--oot again, "Donald?"
I sty's, "Puss, faither," "Ypu'ro
iutoxicated," says he. Eh, mon!
my heart just loupes to toy mouth,
for I couldua say " intoxicated."
Both Willing to Gang on as
13 efore.
A rather amusing episode occur-
- red recently between a Fre.. Church
minister not a hundred 'miles from
Itutherglen, Lanarkshire, and his
aker, who happened to be a mem-
bert I1
ber of his church. Tho minister
called to say that " the store" was
selling its bread a penny cheaper,
and as he must buy in the cheapest
market he would close his account
with the baker. Not to bo done,
the baker sends ou Saturday night
while the church is being cleaned,
and removes his cushions and his
Bibles, and procures two of Spur-
geon's sermons for, two -pence. On
Monday morning enter clergyman
• hurriedly)-" Coed morning, Mr.
B. Is anything wrong, anybody
ill, any misfortune fallen yon, or
what?" Baker (placidly)-'• Nae -
thing that I ken' o'. We're all
weel onouch so far as I am aware."
Clergyman (with a gasp)-" Ah ! I
art so glad to hear it, but you aro so
regular attenders at church, and as
the pow was quite empty at both
diets yesterday I was afraid, so I
called to see," Baker--" Oh, that's
naothing. Ye see yo hae begun .a
now arrangement aboot buying the

Nature And Alcohol in Dis-
ease.
(Canadian Itealth Jou.•ual.)
Although relating to the euro as
• well as the prevention of disease,
we are tempted to extract the fol-
lowing from the Now York Modi-
cal Tines ; a most welcome ex-
change and one ut• the ntst "fiber:
al," advanced and practical that
we ever have the privilege of react
ing. They are given in the "'Times"
in relation to Ilonveopathy and
other "pathics,'' in reply to the en-
quiries of a correspondent.
It is true that .the cure' of many
diseases is aided by 10111011105; and
equally tree that many diseases are
cured ill spite of ihem,-I)y that de-
termining, rutin iting principle
which presides uver the destiny of
org.tuic life, the Unconscious. \Ve
hold to the doctrine of medical
thinkers of all agog •that Nature,
or the powers of the Unconscious,
alone possess the beneficent and
marvel p3ivcr to heal otir
wounds, and to remove or euro our
diseases, lite agents and appliances
of Gm medical art aiding or hind-
ering these vital processes accord-
ing to the degree of wisdom with
which they are made use of.
In its popular sense,. however,
"cure" has a meaning altogether
different. Tho power to euro is, in
popular phraseology, invested in the
sap doctor, and various other persons
for that matter,and curative virtues
aro atribntted to drugs and other
agents and measures, homereopathic
and non•homoeopaahie, physical and
psychical, because curative results
follow their administration and ap-
plication -the true and infalible

plant, au eastern produetiou about
eight foet high,front the conservatory
of Mr. T. Harrison Garrett, It has
grown too large for • Mr, Garrett's
house and he has presented it to
the National Botanic garden at

plant is thatderiug-the sap season,
about two months in the year, a
quart of excellent, toddy, with all
the delicious intoxicating effects of
the American mixed drink can be

When this was. known many

One On A Bishop.

and conditions of men, and even
more so by children, was making
one of his episcopal visitations, and

who was a rigorous loan in the,
training of his childaoll, had a little
boy six years old, who was a great
favorite with. t1io Bishop, and of
whom, in turn, the Bishop was
teach beloved. Sunday afternoon
the Bishop and the boy wore left
alone for a while in the rector's
study, and were chatting comfort-
ably.
"Lot us look at your picture
book?" said the Bishop.
All "right," said the boy.
He brought the picture book, laid
it on the right -reverend lap of his
guest, and then wont furtively back
and closed the study door.

CORNS AND BUNIONS. :1 SURE
CURE.
It is surprising the enormously in-
creasing prevalence of corns and
bunions in this generation, and still
more so when we remember that
for the trifling sum of 25 cts. the Sure
Cure or Sure Bunion Cure can be
obtained. A prominent professional
gentleman remarked onthestreet the
other day: "I tried every known pre-
paration for corns without effect, and
concluded there was no curo when
a friend recommended the Sure Corn
Cure. As a last'resort I tried it, with
, the, desired .effect., My corns have
all disappeared, and I• am now cons
vinced that there is a Sure Cure for
Corns at last, and in justice to the

FROM A, 1RATEFUL Mtn l'IiER.
"My little child suffered from a
severe colo upon the lungs, until
she was like a little skeleton, before
she took burdock blood bitters, after
which she became fat and hearty,
and was cured of weak lungs, con-
stipation and debility or wafting of
flesh, from which two doctors had
failed to relieve her." Mrs. Samuel
