LUMBAGO.
This distressingly painful affection is
Muscular rheumatism ionated in the
'Large muscles of the loin.
The altack usually' comes on quite
suddenly, sometimes seizing the suffer-
e'r in the middle, of a walk without the
slightest premonition. The pain is in-
ternee, and is increased by the slightest
motion of the body.
Tho victim of lumbago or any other
term of muscular rheumatism becomes
painfully award of the fact, which per-
haps he had not before realized, of .lie
great flexibility of the body, and of the
1►Ittrnnle relation between the different
parts of the body; for 11 seems impos-
sible fur hhn to snake any motion
whatever, of the head or of the amts,
without feeling r a sharp twinge in filo

back. Ile dare not turn in bed, lift his
head, or even raise his arms, for every
movement seems to be originated
and
perforated by the sore back muscles.
There may be a little swelling of the
affected region, but usually there is no
exlrrlal sign of the great well of mis-
ery lying just beneath the skin. 1 he
pain tests a few days or a week, and
i.sn s ear s rapidly as 1t

earn*, although there is often consid-
erable 1:orcness or an occasional twinge
or a day or two.
Lumbago may be distinguished from
pain in the buck duo to other causes
by the fact that the agony is extreme
whenever the slightest movement is
made, and is absent or at least bear-
rihle when the patient , lies perfectly
quiet in bed, and also that the muscles
are tender when gently squeezed. The
affection is more common in men than
in women, and attacks adults chiefly.
the muscular rheumatism of children
hiking the form usually of wryneck.
Why this should be so it is difficult to
say.
Lumbago occurs more frequently in
g uty persons, although that is no ex-
planation, since we do not know ,why
the loins should suffer in gouty indi-
viduals more than the muscles of the
neck.
In mild cases the drinking of an abun-
dance of water, to which some baking-
seda is added, may give a measure e I
relief. Gentle rubbing of the parr
v.ilh a cloth dipped in ammonia and
hot water will often mitigate the suf-
fering, and after the rubbing a cloth wet
with this solution may be laid on the
parts and covered with a hot-water bot-
tle.
The diet .should be light, without
meat or highly seasoned food, and
cspeeially without beef tea or meat
broths of any kind. The bowels should
le kept open.
Orae who is subject to lumbago should
t n careful to avoid a chill, and should
live frugally, avoiding the use of much
meat or highly seasoned food in his
e'irt, and drinking only plain water or
milk.
Sometimes the attacks aro prevented
or made less frequent by the wearing
of a broad flannel belt over the und"er-
cloIhing.—Youth's Companion.
PROPER TREATMENT OF BURNS.
In cases of burns death may be duo
first to asphyxia; secondly, to shock,
and thirdly, to septicemia, says the
London Hospital.
'fh,, medical man seldeun gets to the
erase in time to treat the first condition;
the second Ls osentially a general con-
dition, while the whole success in pre-
venting the third depends upon the
immediate kcal treatment. It is there -
fere the lust condition which must be
CA nsidcred Isere. Among the public it
is a generally, accepted idea that the
thing to do in the case of a burn is :o
dust flour over it or to cover it with
ill, and indeed, even in some cnmpnra-
lrvely late text books on surgery a mix-
ture known as "Carron oil" is advocat-
rd.
The use of such applications cannot be
t s rfrongly deprecated, and indeed it
the lay mint: could be taught that the
best thing to put on a burn before the
dieter Ls celled is a hot compress which
ttould contain Inine boracic acid, if

A GREAT TRIUMPH.
GAINED BY DR. W LLIAMS' PINK
P11.1 .44 FOR PALE PEOPLE.
The Doctors of Mount Clemens Insti-
tute Prove the Value of These Pills in
the Carve of Mr. S. Harris, Gotern-
aterit Inspector of Eletaturs at
Hamilton, Ont.
Fri•In the Star, Dundas, Ont.
\Vo are much pleased to see Mr. S.
Harris, the well -en -wit Government in-
spector of elevators of Hamilton, In
Dundas the other day, greatly unproved
i•i health and appearance amen the lest
time wo met hire. As is known to
r.lany of the Star readers, Mr. ilarris
has recovered from u long and severe
illness, and is now quite able to attend
his usual duties. From this long ill-
ness many predicted tcc Mr.Harris w old
never recover, and the fact that he Ls
once more able to go around very near-
ly as spry as he did before ho was at-
tacked, is little less than marvellous ro
them.
In reply to our reporter, Mr. Harris
related the early stages of the attack
and subsequent sufferings which he ex-
perienced, and while he did not court
puhlieily, decided that in the public in -
It rest he would relate the circumstances
of this wonderful cure. About fourteen
months ago Mr. Harris woke up one
morning with a stiff neck; iry as he
would, and after applying all the reme-
dies externally that he could hear or
think oI, he was unable to get rid • t
it The stiffness moved to the spine
and shoulders, then to his haps, until
i' made almost a cripple of him, and
it was with extreme difficulty that he
could get out of bed at all. As for
walking it. was out of the question with
hien. The attack became so bad that he
was unable to put on either his coat,
vest or hat. From time to time he
called in various medical teen, none
cr whom were able to give hon much
relief. !t was almost impossible for
him to raise his feet from the floor, and
all pronounced his a severe case of
muscular rheumatism, giving him little
encouragement as to his ultimate re-
covery. However, one medical gentle-
man finally recommended the baths,
and as a last resort Mr. Harris decid-
ed to follow his advice, and went to
Mount Clemens, Mich. As is customary
with all patients, Mr. }Innis had to
undergo a thorough examination in
order to determine if the system can
stand this rigorous treatment. After
several examinations hod been made
as to Mr. Harris' condition, the phy-
sleians there finally decided that le
was not suffering from muscular rheu-
matism at all, but that his ailment was
a the nerves, and told Niru that the
bathe wouki do him little or no good:
that he required altogether different
treatment. Mie Harris placed himself
in the hands of one of the physicians
there, and what seemed quite strange
to hien, they did nothing for hint but
administer medicine in the shape • f
Fills. Shortly after he commenced this
treatment he began to improve percep-
tibly, and his appetite greatly improv-
ed He began to walk around slowly
n1 first, but soon was able to get
around more than he could for a year
previous. Ile was able to put on his
coat and vest, and began to feel like
his former self. ['Ls improvement was
s.i rapid and perceptible net only to
hinnself, but to others, that he was
plied with all sorts of questions as to
his wonderful recovery. The medical
attendant was questioned as to the na-
ture of the medicine which was being
adininisterod, Much to the surprise .'1
Mr. Harris and other patients there, he
vas told that it wits a well known
Canadian remedy, Dr. \\ tllianis' Pink
Pills, and was advlsed to centime their
use for a time on his return home. Mr.
Harris Is loud in his praise of the won-
derful curative qualities of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, end consented to make his
case public in the hope that he might
t•t•neflt others similarly afflicted. Mr.
Harris has long been a resident of
Hamilton, being a well-known builder
of elevator--, as well as Government in-
spector of the same, so that his prom-
inence and well known integrity Is
evidence that he is sincere in the
statements he made.

SUMMER WEATHER, 1816
A PALL OF SNOW IN TILE OTY OF
QUEBEC IN JUNE.
Harvest Was Fairly Plentiful - Drought
Cance In October Then Severe
Frost.
Owing to the backward and unusually
mid spring we have experienced this
year, a good deal has been heard about
previous cold springs or summers, while
the year 1816 has been quoted as a year
which "there was no summer at an.,
That particular year does uppear to
have been somewhat abnormal lin its
climatic conditions, but still, as a whole,
there was a fairly good season.
SNO\V IN JUNE.
A Quebec newspaper, the Gazette, of
June 6, 1816, has the following :
"Front 11 o'clock till half -past 12,
this day, the sixth of June, there has
been un uninterrupted fall of
snow in
this city." August 22nd, 1816, the same
paper said : '"rhe weather since the 'be-
ginning
be-
r• i rhas uncom-
guung of this month been
monly favorable for the fruits of the
earth of every description. On Thursday
a great deal of rain fell, which threa-
tened some hist; but yesterday the sky
became clear, with a pleasant breeze,
which has removed the bad effects of the
rain. Contrary Pi expectation the wheat
harvest will in sonar dtstric�s be very
abundant, and in other, at least a nuid-
dling• crop. In flee vicinity the reaping
will be general next weak. In the East-
ern Townships a great deal of wheat is
already cut and secured, the grain of
astonishing weight. The occasional
rains have been beneficial for the pas-
ture lands. Upon the whole, the farmer
was never more agreeably disappointed.
We nrehappy to hewn the same truly he
said of Upper Canada. 'There, as \yell
as here, hay is, however, far short of an
ordinary crop. The quality of flour at
St John's is great. Price sixty shil-
lings."
DROUGHT, THEN FROST.
On October 10th, 1816, the santo paper
says :—"Since the first week there has
been a continued drought to the end of
the month; the weather tins generally
been very hazy, attended with cold
winds; on the lllh a severe frost was
espeiienced; the 19th and twentieth
were extremely warm; the 26th, 27th
and 28th, the frost was so severe as to
complete the destruction of the potato
crop, which Lase
aPedllinl
of the
11to
.
The effect of such unseasonable weather
hos been particularly felt by all the
standing crops, which are in a backward
state, requiring warmth and rain to
bring them to maturity. The wheat in
the north and west part of the district,
which remained at the date of our last
report. has been housed and is very fine.
'{'stere still remains out through the dis-
trict a quantity of oats, a great portion
of which cannot ripen and must be cut
for forage. The early peas havea been
got in ; the quantity is great, but the
samples will not be generally good,
there being nearly one-third that were
not perfectly ripe.... The Indian corn
was destroyed by the frost of the lith;
it is doubtful whether seed may be ob-
tained for another year. . . . The po-
tatoes caumot be rated at mare than half
a crop. The meadows have made little
progress since they were snowed ; the
country has seldom witnessed so great a
want of green food for !ceiling of stock
as has been experienced this summer."
A MOTHER'S GRATITUDE.
Mrs. V. Chenret, of St. Permit, Qur.,
writes as follows: "Il Ls with feelings
