Jenkins was noted for his courage and hi.
vixen of wife. He was not afraid Of man, or
of his wife either. His friends had often tried
to scare him, but they had always failed. His
wife's brother tried one night, fixed himself up
in the most ghOstly style possible, and stationed
himselfin lonely piece Of woods through which
Jenkins had to pass on his way home. The
pretended ghost had scarcely settled himself in
his position when Jenkins hove in sight, and
came whistling along uncOncerned as usual.
Suddenly the ghostly figure confronted him, and
in . sepulchral voice commanded him to stop.
Jenkins did so, and after regarding his COM
panion for q moment, said, with the utmost
GOODNESS:

Measles.

This disease, says Halls Journal Of Health,
prevails extensively in cities during the winter
season, and will usually cure itself, If only pro-
tected against adverse influences. The older
persons are the less likely they are 70 recover
perfectly from this ailment, for it very often
leaves some lifelong malady behind it. The
most hopeless forms Of consumptivs diseases are
often the result Of ill-conductsd or badly man
aged measles. In nine cases out Of ten, not a
particle of Medicine il needed.
Our first advice is always, and under all cir
cunstances, send at once for an experienced ply
stefan. Meanwhile keep the patient in q cool,
dry and well aired room, with moderate cover
ing, in position where there will be no expos
urs 20 the drafts Of air. The Thermometer
should range at about sixty-fTe degrees, where
the bed stands, which should be moderately hard
Of shucks, straw, or curled hair. Crafty the in
stinct for cold water and lemonade. lis safest
to keep the bed for several days after the rash
has bagun to die away. The diet should be
light, Of an opening, cooling character.
The main objest Of this article is to warn per-
sons that the greatest danger Is after the disap-
pearancs of the measles. We WSuld advise
that for three weeks after the patient is we'll
enough 10 leave his bed, he should not 60 out
Of the house, nor stand or sit for . single mo-
ment BY an open window or door, nor wash any
part of bis person in cold water or warm, but
wipe the face with . warn, damp cloth. For .
COED part of this time tina appetite should not be
Wholly satisfied tho patient should eat slowly
Of light nutritious food. In one case . little
child almost entirely well of the measles, got
to playing with its hands in cold water it grad
ually dwindled away and died. All exercise
should be moderate, in order to prevent cooling
of too quickly Afterwards, and 10 save the dan
ger Of exposure to drafts Of air, which, by chill
ling the surface, causes ekronis disTrhes If It
falls on the bowels deafness for life If it falls on
the ear, iacurabls consumption if 10 falls on the
lungs.
