Medical Uses of Ice.

Swallowing ice freely in small Jumps is
the chief treatment in inflammation of the

The constant application of ice, pounded
fine, and enveloping the head with it by
means of cushion, CT other contrivance, is
the most reliable remedy for that dangerous
malady, inflammation Of the brain, which
so often sends its victim to the grave in q
few days, or to that living death, the mad

Diptheria, and some of the worst of 9TH

a very short time by pounding piece of

take the Jumps and swallow them continu-

All forms of diarrbea and dysentery,
where there is great thirst, the qualification
of which by drinking any liquid increased

many cases perfectly cured, by simply swal'

How Brother Sam Williams Treated
Northern Missionary.

NOrtuSru u1lSSlOudIf.
The Memphis Aoalanche gives full &C.
count, in words following, to wit:
An abolition wilmer of the Plymouth
Rock and the John Brown school, came
down here few weeks since to illumine
the dark understanding Of beuighted Africa.
He very cordially introduced himself and
mission to "Brother Sam Williams" and
then generously beggedof Brother Williams
the peculiar felicity of buuking with him
Saturday night Sam, who is an intelligent,
sensible colored preacher.of the Methodist
faith, gravely informed his Puritanic majes,
ty that "Mr Sniff had tavern for gem
men, dat down here white folks stay to dar
self, and niger stay to his self, darefore
you can't camp with me, Massa." Sunday
morning the white parson walked up to the
Methodist Church where Brudder Sam was
acting in the honorable capacity of sexton,
which DR.. Malgamation told him that be
wanted the use of that house that day. Sam
simply and briefly remarked:
"Can't git it."
"Why, amt the house as much yours as
any white man's?"
"No, sir; We niggers never paid cent
to build it; the white folks very kindly al.
lows us to worship here at3 o'clock"
The preacher Of abolitonism left, but re-.
turned at 8 o'clock, when Sam was in the
pulpit haranguiug the brethren. He did
not invite bis white brudder into the pulpit.
When Sam had closed his exhortation, the
peddler in the Gospel walked forward, and
drawing out book, proposed to all present
to come up and sign their names and join
the Northern Church, that they owed every
thing that was dear to man to the Northern
army, who had bravely perilled their all to
secure freedom, etc., etc. The black folks
all looked at Brudder Sam. He was suf6.
cient for the trying emergency! Walking
forward, and standing close by old Puritan,
he said:
"Brudren, if we ever got any ligem, we
got it here; if ever We joyed lijen, We joyed
it here; if We eber had any home, We got it
here, if we ever had any friend, we got em
here. For my part wants to go to meetin'
sometimes, and if we jines de Norveru
church, my brudren, We can't neber git to
meetin It's too fur from home. For my
part Il was borned here, raised here, and,
bress God, is gwine to die here, and buried
here. Brudren, de Scriptures say mark
them wot comes to you in sleeps clothing,
but within are raVing wolves; look to de
Lord and get your benediction. Go home"

lation of those States would rate very diff
ferently ON what it does. Only the other
day we copied from an exchange the stri-
king statement that the per centage of chill.
dren to the total population of Connecticut
had diminished from $3.50 per cent. in
1920, to 1892 per cent. in 1860. This
tells its own story, and very remarkable
one; and goes far to prove the declaration
of great decline in feoundity on the part
of the kees,-whether due, as is alleged
to the extensive practice of the crime Of
abortion, or to the decay with which the
World taunts the English.
