BILIoUsNEss.- bio Lew
is, in his "Talks about Peoples
Stomachs," says the word "bil-
iousness" is usually only sort
ofrespectable cover for piggish-
ness. People are not bilious
when they eat as they should.
His prescription for a person so
afflicted is, to drink plenty of
cold water on rising and retir-
ing, and eat for breakfast, until
the bilious attack passes, lit
tie stale bread, say one slice,
and a piece as large as your hand
of boiled lean beef or mutton, or,
if the weather is warm, take in
stead a little cracked wheat or
oatmeal porridge; for dinner,
take about the same thing; and
go without your supper. Exer-
else freely in the open air, pro-
ducing a perspiration, once or
twice a day. In few days
your biliousness is all gone.
This result will come, even
though the biliousness is of the
spring sort, and one with which
you have from year TO year been
afflicted. Herb drinks, bitters
drinks, lager beer, ale, whisky
and a dozen other spring medi-
cines, he pronounces simply bar
barous, land only announcements
10 drunkenness by cultivating
a taste for ardent spirits.

The Pulse.

The pulse of a healthy grown
person beats seventy times in a
minute; there may be good
health down to sixty: but if the
pulse always exceeds seventy,
there is a disease-the machine
is working too fast; it is wear
ing itself out; there is a fever or
inflammation somewhere. and the
body is feeding on itself, as in
consumption, when the pulse is
always quick, that is overseven-
ty, gradually increasing with
decreased chances Of cure, until
it reaches one hundred and ten
or one hundred and twenty,
when death comes before many
days. When the pulse is over
seventy, for months, and even a
slight cough; the lungs are atfec-
ted. Every intelligent person
owes it to himself to learn from
his family physician how to as
certain the pulse in health; then
by comparing it with what it is
when ailing, he may have some
idea Of the urgency Of his case,
audit will be an important guide
to the physicians. Parents
should know the healthy pulse
of each child; as, now and then
a person is born with a peculiar
slow or fast pulse, and the very
case in hand may be that pecu-
liarity. An infants pulse is one
hundred and forty; a child seven
years about eighty; from twen-
ty to sixty years it is seventy
beats a minute, declining to
sixty at four-score. There are
pulses all over the body, but
when there are only skin and
bone, as at the temples, it is
most easily felt.
The wrist is the most conve-
nient point. The feebleness or
strength of the beats is not ma
terIal, being modified by the fin
gers pressure. Comparatively,
rapidity is the great point; near
death, it is a hundred aud forty
or over. A healthy pulse i'm
parts to the finger a feeling as
of WOODEN string; in fever it falls
harder like a silk thread; if
there is inflammation, which is
always dangerous, it beats fast,
spiteful and hard, as if a fine
wire was throbbing against the
finger, When the pulse beats
irregularly, as if it lost a beat
then hurriedto make it up, there
is something the matter with the
heart. But how unnatural you
may think the pulse is, do not
worry it; take nothing except
by the advice of an intelligent
physician.

THE Dust EBREATHE.--"A
microscopic, Mr.. Dance, +. Il.
A. S. has been examining the
dust of cities. The result is
not pleasing. In every speci-
men animal life was abundant,
the most so at the height of five
feet; just about the height Of
the mouth of passengers, and is
there ready to be swallowed or
inhaled. What has been mys-
FERROUS in the history of plague
and pestilence may receive a
partial solution. Take cholera
for example. 1t has been shown
by positive evidence that this
disease is not propagated but by
actually swallowing the cholera
poisoning. The least particle
of this taken into the stomach
will cause an attack. A small
quantity of this matter drying
on the floor may poison a house
full of people. Nurses and
physicians in pure atmosphere
are not affected, although they
may inhale a full breath of a
patient in the last stages of
cholera. One of the lessons to
be learned from these interes-
ting researches Of Mr.. Dance is
that the watering-cart should be
regarded as an important hyge-
mic aid, supplemented by care
full scayengering.",

VACCINATION.--

development of scrofula and
consumption, says report
made by a medical board
Vaccination, by smallpox, also
indirectly diminishes scrofulous
diseas es; and the death-rate of
most constitutional diseases, TO
say nothing of smallpox itself,
has materially decreased as the
practice of vaccination has been
heightened and population aug
mented. The exact reverse is
true of the former practice of
incubation of smallpox.
