meal times. Others were cured BY using
celery for palpitation Of the heart.

How COLDS ARE TAKEx.-At this se.,
son OF the year nothing is more common
than the removal Of a portion of tho cloth.
ing the first pleasant snnny dav tina,

foolish practice reflect for a moment. thew
would certainly hesitate before commit.
ting such an indiscretion. It is no. sur.
prising that such persons are the subject,
OF violent colds. and frequently of more
serious diseases. Another foolish and
yet frequently INDUCED practice is ,ha. Of
taking down stoves before the warm wealth.

ers who appear 10 think that a stove
should never he permitted to remain in \
rarlor or sitting room an hour after the

This most unwisc practice cannot be too
severely reproba'ed. During the month
OF May. and frequently later. We have in
this latitnue many days in which It il nj.
most impossible to do without fire excent
at the expense Of comfor: and health. =
But when, rs is So often the case. winter
clothing is laid aside and stoves removed
the risk to health is quadrupled. All
who wish to maintain bodily health, and
at the same time promote the real comfort
OF themselves and families should bear
these facts in mind. and though winter |

not SO heavy rs severe cold or an at
