The efficacy of hot water in inflammator conditions oan hardly be overrated. To limited extent its value has long bee known. Our mothers and grandmother made me of woolen cloths dipped in ho water in some forms of inflammation. present the worth of this remedy in alerwe all forms of pain is generally recognized b the medical profession. lintacloths, how ever, are not convenient of application cmany cases. They are apt to wet the cloth ing, and they soon cool and require re peated dipping. The rubber bag is in ever respect superior. Once brought to th proper temperature, the heat is long re tained ; it is neat, and in every way easy o application. Every fa.milysin the country, as well a in the city, should have at least one reay for any emergency. Says the Medica ' Mirror: "As a profession, we do not sufficient' appreciate water bags. The amount o comfort in one of them cannot be known ex cept from actual experience. There shoulc be, if possible, half a dozenbags of various sizes in the sick room, easy of access and ready for use." Rubber bags are also of great value in cold weather for persons of weak circula- tion. They are much superior as foot ,warmers to heated soap -stones. To many an aged person such a bag placed against the back in bed is exceedingly agreeable and soothing. The same tags may also be of great ser- vice in cases of high fever, if partly filled with pounded ice or ice-cold water. Placed along the spine and at tie base of the brain, or around the head, they rapidly reduce the temperature and 'soothe the patient.. Gene- rally, however, ice bags are made of thinner and more delicate rubber. A writer in the magazine above mentioned says: "Once when I had gone ten miles into the country, and had happened to ,carry with me one of these little bags, I brought it -into immediate requisition on a patient with a temperature of 106 degrees, whose head was rioting in pain. . " Before I loft the house he declared that he would not take $10,000 for the relief produced by the simple rubber bag half filled with ice." --,-Youth's Companion. Mow to Give Medicines. • Falsehoods should never be resorted to in order to induce' children to take medicine ; child memory is very retentive as such, which, as they grow older, may have a very pernicious influence. Telling a child that the medicine is nice, when quite the con- trary, is really shocking ; yet this is done . every day. Bribery, coaxing and threats', too, ought never to be used. The better way is to try mild persuasion, and if he will not obey, or he too young for reason ing, then to use no time in parleying, but to lay him across the lap, hold his hands and nose, pour the mixture or powder well back upon the tongue, and not relax hold or withdraw the spoon until the dose be swal- lowed. Firmness is kindness, in such cases; fuss and prolonged excitement being likely to do more harm than the medicine would •do good. More important still, such dis- cipline may have a salutary influence on a child's fortitude in after life. Inconsider- ately, saying all manner of nonsense about "the docter,", as though he were soilie one to be dreaded instead cf Welcomed, is . another mistake. Where illness occurs, little ones are likely to become timid and feverish through fear thus excited. Truth cannot be too strongly insisted on in all trans- actions with and among children. -Home Magazine. • The ;New Admiral Writhe Fleet. Sir John Edmund" Commerell, V. C., • G. C. B., F. R. G.
