The Value of Health.
We never learn the value of health until
we have bot it. Only when it is no longer
ours do we begin to prize it, aechstudy hew
to tette eare of ie The reeult is, that instead
of living from eighty to cue bunched years,
as we ought to do, awl ley iog of ripe old age
at lest, we are made to languish and to
suffer almost every day while we live, and
are carried off by preventeble diseases at
every age from infancy And maturity. If
we ootdd begin now, and the children in our
homes be taught tbe laws of their being,
and trained to observe them, the gain in
health and longevity to this geueretion
would be Inhume° while to the sueceeding
one it would be loeyoncl all computation.
Oae diffioulty ie, there has not yet come into
the minds ol a large proportion of people any
definite conception that there are such things
aa laws of health, and that every violatioe of
these laws is sure to bring its penalty.
The last thing that individuals or conarimuit
ties think of doing is to take the blame for
their ileheelth upon their own shoulders,
where it rightly belongs. This, then, is the
first lesson to be taught and learned—that
all diseaoe is the result of broken mw,; and
that much of it might easily be avoided by
the observance of the laws of health 'on the
part of the individual. The next thing to
be taught is the lews themselves—and with
the laws, and of greater importance, the
habit of obeying then, We know a great
aese more than we put la practice.
Lime Water in Diphtheria.
Lime -water, says a medical contemporary,
is an admirable remedy in cases of diph-
theria, Its local effect is most useful .n cleans
ing and purifying the fauces, and its mode
of application is the easiest imaginable. It
requires no spray -apparatus, no douching,
and no cffort at gargling. It is suffieient to
have the patient elowly swallow a teaspoon-
ful or more every hour in order to get good
results from its use. This fact is of the
greatest importance in treating children,
who are too often cruelly tortured in the at-
tempt to make local applications to the
throat. Lime -water can be given easily,
and is taken readily by children. An early
clearing out of the bowels with calomel,
gonaetimes in massive doses, followed up
after a short interval by the administration
of lime -water and the use of a imitable tonio
and regimen, constitutes a method which
comes the nearest to being of the universal
applicability.
Milk Por Infants.
Dr Frederick M. Warner writes in
"Health" :—A problem which occurs to
every practitioner to solve, with greater or
less frequency, is the snooestful rearing of
children which have been, from 801110 caus-
es or other, deprived of the maternal nou-
rish eat i 'to tlais end various foods have
t
bee evised--some good, others bad, and
all ensive. After experimentation with,
and ied of, most of these I have come
back to cows milk, properly prepared, as
the beet subatitute at our commend. 1
have caused the milk consumed by all my
artificially -reared children to be prepared
in the followingmanner :—Into an ordinary
cooking steamer, which can be bought at
any hardware store, a conpk of inches of
water is put and brought to the boiling
point ; the milk which is the infants allow-
anCe for the next twenty four hours is
placed in as many nursing bottles as
are used during that length of time.
These bottles, having been previously
placed in an oven for a quarter of
an hour, are now stopperee with cotton
wool, and put on the perforated plate in the
steamer, not touching each other, the cover
shut tightly down, and the whole allowed to
steam for half an hour. As will be readily
seen. by this method all germs are destroyed,
and, if the milk is left stoppered and in a
000l place, it will keep a long time. In the
course of some experiments which I have
been, making, and I find that, to -day, milk
Which was steamed exactly five week's ago is
perfectly sweet and good. When feeding
time comes, the woolen cork is removed and
lime water and sugar of nallk are added. A
nipple taken out of boiling water is put on,
the bottle warmed, and the child's food is
ready for administration. In closing, I wish
merely to emphasise tne foot that a bottle
must be lured but once; immediately after
the child has taken all it will, the remainder
of its contents must be thrown away, the
bottle washed, and placed in the BIM and
air.
Good Sleep.
Those who are subject to indigestion in any
form geldCtin sleep well. Therefore, neither
indulge in hearty suppers, nor go to bed
hungry. While a heavy meal ough t not to
be taken within at least three hours of bed-
time, a warm snack before retiring will often
dispoee one to sleep comfcrtably. Insuffi-
cient open-air exercise during the day is the
sure precursor of a bad night's reat. in the
holiday season towns -folk find that exposure
to country or remelt. makes them both hungry
and skepy. A brisk walk on a breezy night
ha a a somnolent effect, but it is better that
the body be wearied, rather than fatigued,
on retiring to rest. Sleeplessness is due in
many oases to lying too long in the morning,
or indulging in sleep during the day. A short
nap before dinner is mere refreshing than
one after; just as exercise is better before
than after meals. A persisting habit of keep
ing awake in bed may be cured by curtailing
the hours of repose. If the skin be not
thoroughly cleansed refreshing sleep cannot
be expected. An occesional warm bath be.
fore bedtime has a salutary effect, but cold
bathe ere only safe for the robust. An even
ing dip in the " briny " during the hot
months usually °mutes tranquil repose.
When sleeplesenese cannot be traced to any
of the common causes here stated, it may
then be considered. aa a. symptom arising from
some unsuspected disorder lurking in the
sys tem.

The "Board of Trade Journal" contaihe
report by n edit:mission of Paris dootors
appointed by the Minister of Commerce to

by its antiseptic properties it renders en-

that it is not a food, and cannot replace

Treatment of ObeeltY.
Dr. Towers Smith oontributes to a medi•
cal journal the following interesting record
of his treatment of obesity. Finding that
his weight had increased enormouely, he d.e-
termined to try the following treatment for
corpulence :—On March let, 1885, 1 weighed
15 stones 10 pounds; on the second I corn•
raenced the treatment, which was as follows :
—Breakfast :one pound of rumpsteak, with-
out fat. Lunch : another pound of rump
steak. At dinner: one poundof grill cod,
and one pound of rump steak. I drank at
intervals during the twenty.four hours a
gallon of hot water. The last, thing at night
I took two tablespoonfuls of Scotch whisky
in cold water, and night and morning five
grains of bicarbonate of potash.. On the
16th I was weighed again. and I found my
self reduced to 14 stones 6 pounds. I then
reduced the amount of water, and began to
take tea or coffee, reducing the quantity of
meats, and taking toast with it. On April
8th my weight in Jermyn Street was re-
duced to 13 stones 4 pounds. I gradually
from that date returned to my usual habits
of life as regards diet; and on the 30th
I weighed again, and my weight was 12
atones 11 potluck, and since that date up till
now has nob materially varied : I have eaten
and drunk as I pleased. Finding this oourse
of treatment was personally ouccesefuleI
have since trea,ted forty patients with equal
success.
Effect of Coffee on the Eyes.
Mr J, Haladay writes as follows in a
,recent number of the North American Re-
view: -1 am satisfied that defective vision
and blindness will pretty soon be a promin-
ent characteristic among American people.
I make this assertion without having seen
any statistics whatever on the subjeot of
blindness. I found out long ago that a cup
of coffee leaves a night -shade on the brain
whioh continues longer than an eclipse of
the sun. For some tittle past I have been
consniting with different persons in Council
Bluffs, who are suffering with failing eight,
and in each instance I ascertained that the
unfortunate person was and is a regular
coffeedriaker. I hadolongnoticed that the
eyes of old coffee -drinkers had a dry and
shrivelled appearance.
Draughts in Trains.
Draughts encountered in railway ttravele
ling are the active emus of many intolerable
attacks of neuralgia. Occasionally they
have more permanent consequences. To
avoid this peril most: persons try to secure
places with their backs to the engine. This
answers well enough as regards the seat next
the window, but owing to the tingle at which
the air enters the rapidly-advaneang carriage
when a window is open, the occupant of the
seat, with his back to the engine receives a
reflected current of air, not so etrong, but
fully as likely to produce what is popularly
calkd a " chill " as that to which the brave
traveller who "likes air," and persists in
riding forwards, with the window down,
exposes himself. The prudent man, who
has esconced himself in the second seat, and
rides backwards, probably finch a tingling

There is at AbolseChapelle an extraordi
nary newspaper museum, founded by Oscar
Von Forceenbeck. It contains files of spec-
imens of more than 17,000 different news-
paper, being nearly half the newspaper
press of the world,andit is daily receiving
copies of the remainder from all quarters of
the globe. Dr. Wilhelm Joest, author of
a work on the German press abroad, has re-
cently sent to the mine= his collection of
1,200 Papers. The ;neat curiosity of the
whole collection is No. 46 of "The.Texas

The representative Jewish journals of Am-

the Sabbath on Sunday. The New York
"Hebrew Standard" very forcibly says
"The business interests'the inexorable ne-
cessity, which compels hundreds to labour
on the Jewish Sabbath in order to support
their families, have mede the observance of
the Sabbath the exception inetead of the
rule. Those you cannot preach to ; they do
not come to listen to yon. You 'rennet argue
with them, because your worda will not pro-
vide the bread which they and their families
must have." The Roohester " Jerrieh Tid-

A strong illustration of the violonaness of
the gerne of beggar-myomighbor that the
European natives are playing, is afforded
by the commotion upon Germany increasing
her naval estimates. She has appropriated
about 830,000,000 for the construction of
new ironclads. With this addition to the
German navy, Runk will feel herself insig-
nificant. France must make a corresponding
addition, and that will necessitate England%
adding to her navy as much as that of
France and aermany together. European
taxpayers will look upon the dynamite gun
vessel as a great blueing, should it abolish
the floating castles of iron whioh now swallow
up each year the value of a fair-sized city.
