CUN6TIPATION AND BOWEL COMPLAINTS.
Strict attention to diet is Indispensable
in such case as this. Fruit should form
a large part of each meal, and the balance
be mostly or wholly made up of graham
bread, oat meal, cracked wheat and vege-
tables. Fine -four bread or cakes, milk,
fat. condiments, etc, should be avoided
Plenty of ut.door exercise is especially
durable. Daily kneading aud manipula-
ton of the bowels will prove very useful
in restoring their natural action. II you
do not already do SO, learn to breathe by
expanding and contracting the abdomen.
This is the natural mode of breathing, aud
keeps the digestive organs in constant mo-
ton. If you wear corsets. or dress so tight
you cannot do this, burn up your corsets
aud loosen your bands, or give up all
hopes of ever being cured.
Unless you learn to breathe naturally,
whatever else you may do will probably
prove unavailing. Breathe in the way in
dicated, and persevere in the course above
marked out, and cure is certain. In case
the water enema should ever fail in giving
temporary relief, employ thorough knead-
ing of the bowels and the hot fermentation.
The water enema is very usefnl-in
many cases indispensable, but it should
only be used temporarily, until natural
action can be brought about by other
means.
DoN'r BE AFRAID OF PURE COLD AIR.
Don't be afraid to go out of doors because
it is little colder than usual. The cold
air will not hurt you il you are properly
protected, and exercise enough to keep the
circulation active. On the contrary, 1t
will do you good it will purify your
blood, it will strengthen your lungs, 1t will
improve your digestion, it will afford a
natural, healthful stimulus to your torpid
circulation, and strengthen and energize
your whole system. The injury which
often results from going into cold atmos-
phere is occasioned by lack of protection
to some part of the body, exposure to strong
drafts, or from breathing through the
mouth. Avoid these, and you are safe.
Don't be afraid to sleep in a cold room
at night with the window OPEN Gold air,
il pure, will not hurt you az night any
more than in the day, If you are protected
by sufficient clothing and by breathing
through the nostrls. If you do not
breathe thus, acquire the habit as soon as
possible.

FERRY REFORM.

sMass'' Meeting in Williamsburg-1uch In
dignation but No Favorable Results.
mass meeting OF citizens favorable to ferry re-
form was held last evening In Turn Hall, Meserole
street, Williamsburg. The attendance was rather
slim for mass meeting. Alderman Raber pre-
sided.
Mr.. J. Il. Tobitt, chairman Of o committee ap-
pointed at a previous meeting to wait upon the
Comptroller Of the city OF New York ana inform him
tnat the Brooklyn Ferry Company had violated their
lease reported that the committee ascertained that
the lease had not been violated and that they
failed to see the Comptroller.
The committee appointed to visit Albany and urge
the passage OF Mr.. Havens' ferry bill reported that
they had nothing Of an encouraging nature to com.
muncate TO the meeting. They called on Senator
Tweed when they reached Albany and informed him
OF their mission, and he extended to them his sym.
patty ana obtained hearing for them before
the committee having the bill In charge.
After they hao argued with the committee
for eight hours IN favor Of the Dill four Of its
bers expressed Willingness to report It, The ma.
Jority, however, DECIDED not to 40 80 until they
heard from the ferry company. The committee
concluded their report by recommending that the
agitation be continued until the reform sought for
was accomplished.
Alter few remarks In German py Mr.. Raber, ex-
planatory OF the above, the meeting adjourned.
