HEALTH AND DISEASE.

! reported a severe case of diabetes, Fl
4 which all the old remedies had beer
tried in vain.-AnOther physician
| present advised that the patient
should be fed on raisins. Another
physician announced that he had seen
/ reported a very successful use of the
raisin treatment in France, and
thought it well worthy Of trial
a TIMELY EXPLANATION. The
! Pacific Medical and Surgical Jour
nal denies that the proceedings OF
| the American Medical Association,
at the late meeting in San Francisco,
were marked throughout by indeco,
rum or want of harmony, and says
"The acception occurred at the only
! session which was held at night, and
was manifestly due to California
| champagne, which some of the dele
! gates had been sampling at the Oak
land entertainment"
a VALUABLE When
| we regard the number of invalids
who are suffering from disorders of
/ the digestive organs, arising from
| carIessness in drinking, we are in
clined to wish that the old times had
returned, when physicians sat by
their wealthy clients to warn them
against excess, and to decide upon
! what was wholesome. Chaucer reads
us q good lesson when ne recounts

from eating lampreys: He wylled

a QUICK REcovERY.-A Scottish
trader was constantly afraid of his
health, and imagined himself i'll of
| every epidemic that was going. At
length the cattle plague broke out,
and he pursuaded bimself that he
was i'll with the disease, and sent in
haste for the doctor, going over the
| symptoms of which he had read in
I the papers, all of which he fancied he
| had. 81 hope you don't really feel
So" said the NJ. D.. " for there is an
! order by the PriVy Council that
every beast with these symptoms must
! Immediately be shot" The trader
was soon well. again.
AIR BEDS IN THE AIoRNING.--The
wise hOusekeeper should see to it
that all the beds should be aired i'm
mediateiy after being occupied. The
| impurities which emanate from the
/ human body from insensible perspi-
ration, are made up of minute atoms,
which, if allowed to remain long,
are absorbed by the bed, and will
then, to a greater or less extent, vi
! tate the air for q considerable time
afterward. Let the occupant throw
the bed open on rising, and as soon
as it Is convenient open the windows
and ventilate the sleeping-room.
| One hours early ventilation : worth
two hours late airing.
DoCToRs AND THEIR EzEs IN THE
GOOD OLD TIMES" N IEELAND.-
! Tie I[edjcGI Times and Gazette
says: "T'he following curious mode
/ Of providing for the payment Of the
medical profession, prevailed Ia Ire
land under the BTehOR laws pUiOr to
the thirteenth century. Il law ia
relation to the. doctors, enacted Chat
their fees should be proportioned 10
the rink of the patient and the Ha-
ture Of the complaint. 1t was also
held that no fee should be paid un-
/ less a q cure was effected. Fourteen

SLEEPING on oEE SIDE.-S.eop.ug
on the right side, which, in addition
to permitting a 5reer action of the
heart, has the great advantage Of fl-
voring the escape, through The Dy-
loric Orifce of the stomach, of the
organs contents by gTayitatiOn, the
| stomach then lying in an inclined
| position from left TO right, which il
also assumes when one is in the erect
attitude. For people who limit
themselves to light or easily digested
sUppers, or who go supperlCss to bed,
the posture of rest may be a matter
of indifference but to individ-
uals inclined to rOtundity, or to in
dulge in hot suppers and accOmpani-
mcnts. the best way to avoid. or 10
facilitate escape from uneasy sensa-
tiOns, IS a question of interest

! VENTILATIoN.-The experience OF
DR.. Gray in his attempts to perform
ventilation of the Utica Asylum
points clearly to the fundamentaI
fact that no very large building car
be ventilated with currents Of ali
! produced by heat alone. Artificial
currents produced by mechanical
power must be employed. The means
|. used in this institution are q large
: and powerful fan whee', driven by q
fine COTliss steam engine. By It's
constant action, every nook and cor
ner of the vast building was kept in q
! delightful state of GOODNESS on thC
day of our visit, though the ther-
mOmeter indicated so deg. Fab. ir

various wards, yet there was DO per
