Dr. PhaHtPs' adoiee 10 persons suffering from,
Debility and Indigestion.
Although it is of consequence for the debili-
tated TO 60 early to bed, there arc few things
more hurtiul than remaining in it too long
after the degree of strength is restored by
sleep, any longer continuance in bed, unless
the deoliIty be such as TO render the mere eff
Tort Of sitting up too much, tends only to re-
lax. Getting up an hour or two earlier, often
gives degree OF vigor which nothing can pro-
cure. have known people whose feet con
| SANITY became cold and damp, il they remain
ell IN bed few hours longer than usual. For
those who arc not much debilitated, and
sleep well, the best rule is TO get out Of bed
soon after waking in the morning. This at
first may be too carly for the debilitated re-
quire more slecf, than the healthy: but rising
early will prolong tic sleep on the succeeding
night, till The quantity the patient enjoys is e;
quail TO his demand for it.
Lying late is not only huriful by the relaxa-
ton it occasions, but also BY occupying that
time Of the day at which exercise is the most
Der efcial.
# the dyspeptic be much debilitated, he
should take his first meal as soon az he is
dressed. He will often find himself hurt, and
always less benefited by exercise, either OF
mind or body, with the stomach OF upper bow
els empty, as they necessarily are, in the
morning.
When the debility is less, he will often ex-
peFience benefit from walk or ride before
breakfast. This observation is particularly
applicable TO those in whom Indigestion has
produced too great determination of blood to
the head, which is, for the time, increased by
the rccumbent posture during the night
We are most vigorous whemt the first process
OF indigestion is so far advanced, that the YES
sells which receive the nutriment from the in
tcstines are pouging it into the blood aud
then il is that free circulation is most useful
10 mixing the new juices with this fluid, and
promoting its passage through the lungs, where
they are perfected into blood.
HydrophObid. This opprobrium me-
dicoIum has become, at Lyons, mere
bagateile, and has completely lost its
terrific character, by nippiug it in the
bpd. 1t appears that, about a year a.
60, man was bitten by dog who az
forwards died raving mad hut that his
wife, without delay, extracted the pois-
on by sucking the sound this was after
wards repeated at the request of the
physician, and no hydrophoba super
vened in either. Her example was this
year followed by three women who go
by the same name, and whose business
it has been during the hot months TO
suck the wounds of all who were bitten
by any mad animal. Ten francs is their
charge for the first sucking, and five for
every succeeding one. OF 38 cases
which occurred since the 1st of June.
not one terminated fatally, nor even ex
perienced the symptoms of hydropho,
bia. although the animals were decided
Iy mad, and died in that state.
Cure for Weak Eyes.-Take small
lump Of white copperas--say about the
size of pea; put il in Il small phial,
holding about two ounces of water; car
ry this in the pocket, and occasionally
taking out the cork, turn the phial up
on the fingers end, and thus battle the
eyes. This will positively effect real
cure in a short time.
