What Sleep will Cure.
Fro M the Herald of JTealth.

Fro NJ the Herald of Eeath
The cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not
that it is more important, but it is
often harder to get. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. OF two
men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will he the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irrita>
bic temper, peevishness, uneasiness.
1t will cure insanity. 1t will restore
to vigor an overworked brain. 1t
will build up and make strong a
weary body. 1t will do much to
cure dyspepsia, particularly that
variety known as nervous dyspepsia.
1t will relieve the langour and pros
tration felt by consumptives. 1t
will cure hypochondria. 1t will
cure the blues. 1t will cure the
headache. 1t will cure heartache.-
1t will cure neuralgia. 1t will cure
a broken spirit. 1t will cures. orrow.
Indeed, we might make long list of
nervous maladies that sleep will
cure.
The cure of sleeplessness, however,
is not 30 easy, particularly in those
who carry grave responsibilities
The habit of sleeping we'll is one
which, if broken up for any length of
time, is not easily regained. Often
severe illness, treated by powerful
drugs, SO deranges the ner- GUS sys-
tenn that sleep is never sweet after
Or, perhaps, long continued watch-
fulness produces the same effect or
hard study, or too little exercise of
the muscular system, or tea and
whiskey drinking, and tobacco u.s.
ing. To break up the habit are re-
CURED F.:
l. A clean good bed.
2. Sufficient exercise to produce
WEAKNESS, and pleasant occupation.
3. Good air, and not warm a room.
4. Freedom from too much care.
3. A clean stomach.
8. A clear conscience.
z. Avoidance of stimulants and
narcotics.
For those who are overwOrked,
haggard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep,
otherwise life will be short, and
what there is of it sadly imperfect.

RIPE FRUIT VERSUS DIARRHEA.-
DR.. Buckingham las a brief article
in the Medical and Surgical Journal
lately in which he recommends very
strongly the use of ripe fruit, par
ticularly peaches, for ordinary diar-
rhea and dysentery, sometimes with
sometimes without, morphia, as the
presence or absence of pain dictates
He says be has just prescribed a
quart of peaches for a patient. DR..
b. is the man for cur money when
we have dysentery. There could
not BIO a nicer prescription. The
Doctor further says, and we have
no doubt truly, that many of the
so,called diarrhea medicines aggra
vate the disease and make it dys-
EMERY. Bitartrate of potash, with
or without small doses of morphia,
according as there has or has not
been pam, the Doctor consider
among the surest and most salts
factory medicines in cases Of dys-
entery.
How TO KEEP BUTTER.-A CORES
pendent of the Rural World says:
1t is the easiest thing in the world.
Simply put in clean jars and cover
with strong brine. This will keep
pure butter year, fresh and sweet,
as we know by experience. 1t is
almost equally good to put in oak
casks, heated tight. This is equiv
alent to canning fruit. The brine in
the case of the jar acts as a heading
keeping the air out. But butter
should be made we'll we have new
or experimental on poor butter
Work out the buttermilk till you
have only pure "beads," clear as
rain water; but do not work so
much as to break the grain, in which
case you have touch, heavy article
in winter, and grease in summer
Such butter we would advise no one
to try to preserve.
