HINTS FOR HEALTH.

Persons in health should never under any
circumstances take medicine. The custom
which prevails in some families of administer
ing physic in the spring and fall to prevent the
attacks Of disease is preposterous in the ex
IRENE. The only sure safeguards are temper
ance in eating and drinking, and carefully
adapting the clothing to the changes of the at
mesphere. Persons in the vicinity of conta-
eious disorders must carefully attend to these
prescriptions, and by proper exercise, cheerful
recreation and strict regard to cleanliness pre-
serve the mind in state of cheerfulness and
activity 1t is absolutely necessary for those
visiting warm climates to abstain entirely from
the use of sprituous liquors. The great cause
of the mortality among our seamen visiting the
West India Ports may be traced to the prevail
ing use of liquors, which heat the blood and in
duce fevers in those warm climates. One sick
person only should occupy the same apartment.
The bed should be matrass, in case Of fever,
in preference to one of feathers The room
should be wei! ventilated, the light excluded,
and it should be kept in state of tho most per-
feet cleanliness. The introduction of vislters,
in sick chamber should always be avoided, as
the air becomes vitiated and unfit for respra-
ton, and their presence and conversation are
ant 10 disturb the patient The room of the
sick should always be kept quiet and free as
possible from all noise and talking.
Pie PLANT. There are several varieties of
Rhubarb cultivated in Great Britain, for culin-
ars purposes The leaf stalks are extensively
used for pies, tarts, &c. Its culture for mar.
ket was commenced there about 1915, and now
il is said that more than 100 acres of land are
appropriated to its culture in the neighborhood
of the metropolis Wilmot, the strawberry
gardener, sends it by loads to Covent Garden
market. 1t is coming into general notice and
culture among us.
This plant is raised with very little trouble
being perennial, and is one Of the earliest vege
tables afforded by the garden. Half a dozer

Thousands have experienced tho happy effects

as hopeless II is not pretended that they arc
