\'irhon preparing fold for., a sick per -
see, do not ask hitn le he is hungry,
or what ho would like to eat. The
surest `way of tempting the appetite Is
to bring to the sioit-room some uoex-
peoted, daintly prepared Web, prettily
served, and generally it will be eaten
with a relish which would have seem-
ed,utterly impossible to the invalid had
,he heen consulted beLorehand.
A email tray covered with the whit-
est of linen, the prottlesl of claim. and
the brightest of silver, a 'moue for
web separate dish, will appeal to the
eye and imagination of the sink one,
and he will be prepared to enjoy the
food ao attractively served. Further
sttnrulale his appoUle by dishing
only; a small supply of food, and he
will be teneptod to tisk for more. Be
careful that hot loud is served but, and
cold food served oold, and do not let
any food stand in the sick -room.
"I watched a five -dollar -a -day train-
ed nurse make beef Cott the other day,"
said a woman, "and this le how he did
it, for it was a man, nursing a patient
In the last stages of consumption: He
out up two pounds of lean, juicy sir-
loin steak into pisses alma two inches
square; thea he put a clean skillet,
which was very lightly greased with
butter, over a very but fire of red
coals, and, as soon as the pan was 1301,
tossed 1.110 beef in.. With a fork he
turned the pieces over and over, let-
ting them sear on every side ; there
was seemly a drop of )Alco in the
pan while he was doing it, so quickly
did the strong heat accemplish its
work. _
"When the pieces w r0 boated
through, be took them out one by one
and rapidly squeezed them through
a wooden lemon squeezer, which had
been standing in boiling water, into a
ohina bowl, which was also in hot wa-
ter. Tossing in a pinch of salt, and
lying a thick folded dinner napkin over
the bowl, he carried oft quickly the
strong hot juice to his paticnl, having
been in the kitchen barely eight
minutes.
"The tea can bo made in this way
with a chafing dish in one's own room
if access to a kitchen is difficult. He
told mo ho sometimes froze teaif it
was distasteful to the sick person when
hot. This be did in a few minutes by
putting it in a small covered pail,
setting that. Jn a larger one, and fill-
ing the spaoe between with salt and
cranked ice, In fever cases the patient
will often take the frozen beef juice,
when he will absolutely refuse it in
a liquid state."
BEST TREATMENT FOR A COLD.
A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows, is the result of a stop-
page somewhere of free circulation of
the blood, to which one is first sensi-
tive through a feeling of chill..
So slight is Lhe chill oftentimes that
not until Lbeprcliminary sneeze comes
is the victim aware he or she bas been
in the track of adraught, or that the
temperature has changed.
The usual notion is that, by going
indoors, changing to heavier clothing,
or retreating from the moist atmos-
phere the danger is averted.• These
precautions are all well enough, but
the first and meet effeeious measure
should bo to restore the quick flow of
warm blood through every vein, and so
by heat instantly counteract the lit-
tle chill.
One, perhaps the simplest, method of
doing Line has been Learned by men
wlio stand on sentinel duly, who are
obuged to sutler more or 1ees.exposure
in winter, or who scorn the comforts
in cold weather of overcoat and um-
brella.
Their method, wbon the tempera-
ture of the body or extremities is low-
ered, or a sudden chill or quick change
from warm to cold atmosphere is en-
dured, is to inhale three er four deep
breaths, expand the lungs to their
fullest extent, bolding every time the
inhaled air as long as possible, and
then slowly letting fourth througb the
nostrils.
In doing this the inflation of the
• lungs sets the heart into such quick
Motion teat the blood Ls driven with
unusual force along its channels, and
so run out tete the tiniest veins.
This radiates a glow down to the
toes and finger tips and rete up a
quick reaction against the cbill. Tha
whole afoot is to stir the blood and
set it in motion as from rapid exercise.
Let any women who goes to a din-
ner or ball in a low-necked dress,
where the rooms are chilly and her
wraps not aocessi'ble, try this little
cure, or, better still, this preventive
against cold, and enjoy its merits,
Let her try it when taking a cold
drive or when condemned, by aoei-
dent, to sit in wet garments. Let the
maxim of a victim to colds bo always:
Keep the blood in rapid action ; use the
deep -held breath when a first chill is
felt.

From the Tribune, Deseronto.
Out attention was lately directed to
the wonderful cure effected upon a
resident of Deseronto, which illus -

its of -that widely known health restor-
er "Dr Williams' Pink Pills." We re-
fer to the euro of Mrs, Druce, wile of
Sidney Druce, caretaker of the High
Pehool building. Being desirous of
giting our readers the facie, a reporter
of the Tribune called at Mrs. Druce's
residence, and is therefore enabled to
present our readers with the following
facts, W11011 can be vouched for by
many neighbors and friends of the
family, Mrs. Druce had from the
early age of ten years been a sufferer
from rheumatism and bad endured an
untold. amount of suffering from this
dile disease, She had tried scores of
different medicines to dispel the mal-
ady, but in vain, Doctors told ear it
Was impossible to eradicate the disease
from her system and she bad at last
become resigned to the belief that
rheumatism was incurable. In ad-
dition to rheumatism, about seven
years ago she bege.n to suffer from
catarrh of the bowels with its attend-
ateL headaclies and depression oe spirits.
The pain of the rheumatism and con-
stant beadaches wore her out. Tho
doctors prescribed °pintos which only
dulled the pain, but did not repel the
disease. The two diseases oonlinued
to make steady headway and at times
she felt such pain that she could not
even allow hoe husband to raise or
move her. The neighbors thought she
woulc' never got up again. All kinds
of remedies were suggested and many
of them tried, bat ell in; vain. Provi-
dentially, as Mre. Deuce expressed it,
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was
mentioned. It was not until the end
of the second box that she realized any
benefit. She then began to realize
that she was regaining strength. Be -
tore oho mentioned thisto others
her husband lam obsoeved the change,
for ho remarked one day "those pille
are doing you 80010 good, you look
livelier than you have for Some

Williams' Pink Pills until she had
taken fourteen boxes, with the gratify

that. she was completely cured of tee
rheumatism and catarrh, not a solitary
symptom of Dither trouble remaining.

WHERE SOLDIERS MUST SWIM.
In the Dutch army a man must be
able to swim as well as to fight. More-
over, if he ie in the cavalry he must
have a horse which will take a river
as easily as a hunter takes a fence.
Swimming maneuvers are part of the
regular drill there. Collapsible can-
vas boats, manned by a few oarsmen,
lead the horses, so that they do not at-
tempt to land on stone quays and
other difficult points. The men Swim
across with their horses and on them.
They do it in swimming costume and
In all the accoutrements of war. There
are few mautienl eenergenoies for
which the Dutch army is not prepared.
Sense of the officers have even reached
'e degree of proficiency that not only
their horses and kit cross the river
with them, but their pet dogs sit up-
on their shoulders and are borne over,
almost without getting wet.

The application of Nerviline-nerve-
Pain cure-wlei011 possesses such mar-

on Aho nerves, soothes them, drives pain
out and so gives relief, Try it and be
convinced.

Hera is what he says: "Diabetes kept

WAS 'all up with me.'
"1 used different remedies, but got
no good from any of them, until a
friend recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"I had no idea they would help me,
ELS I had been disappointed so often,
but I decided to try them. The first
box gave me wonderful relief. The
dizziness vanished, and my head be-
came as steady as ever it was. Three

I am sound and well, thanks to Dodd's

The best way to asoertain the real

them. There caws be no deceit then.
