THE Use or CANpHoR-When the mu.
.cous membrane of the nose, frontal
sinuses, etc, arc affected by catarrh,
a strong solution of camphor, frequent
~ and for some hours snuffcd up the
nose, and five or six drops taken inter
nally on lump of sugar, at first for
every ten minutes, then every hour,
will usually put stop to the affection.
Ordinary cold and even influenza, if
treated in this manner at the very begin
ming of the attack, are generally con-
troIled by the same treatment. Attacks
of incessant sneezing and profuse run
ming at the eyes and nose will general
ly yield to strong solution of camphor
diligently snuffed up the nose In sum-
mer diarrhea no remedy is so eflica-
cious as camphor, if employed at the
very commencement of the disease; la
ter it is without affect. It's influence
over cholera is equally remarkable.
Dose: six drops of strong alcoholic
solution of camphor, given at first every
ten minutes; afterward, as the symp-
toms abate, less frequently.

BAD EFFECT or HAIR RESTORES.
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says that he has under his care
two invalid ladies. "One has been
paralyzed on the right side for nearly
three years, and has been utterly help
less most of that time. Her vision has
been very imperfect; her knowledge of
past events has utterly departed from
her; recently she appears to be recov-
ering her recollection, and can count
with tolerable accuracy as high as
twenty" He attributes her prostra-
ton entirely to the use of a popular
hair restorer. 1.-THE other case is not
so bad, but bad enough. For the past
year her eyes have been an occasion of
constant torture. The retina has be-
come so sensitive to the light as to
make a dark room indispensable.
Wheels of burning fame revolve con-
stantly before her eyes, attended by
lightning-like flashes, which are terri
BILE to bear. She is another victim to
the poisonous lead contained in the
same popular hair-restorer."

SHE WOULD GO TO THE BALL.

SIZE WOULD 6U ~ LIE DAAAs
This morning, about two o'clock, one
of our physicians had his repose dis
turbed by an urgent call to visit man
who had attempted suicide by taking
poison. Our medical friend hastily
dressed himself, and with stomach pump
in hand, repaired forthwith to the resi-
dence of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Upon reaching the mansion he found
the man lying on his back and writing
in all the pain and agony of person
who had taken a deadly poison. His
appearance indicated that unless speedy
relief was had he would soon be num-
bered with the dead. With great diff
Guilty the stomach-pump was applied,
but instead of its bringing deadly pois-
on, it brought up whisky, and that of
a quality denominated chain lightning"
Upon making this discovery, the man
of medicine became indignant at the
thought that his rest should have been
disturbed simply for the purpose OF re-
lieving the stomach of drunken man
of an over-supply of whisk y. He left
the place in disgust, and has vowed that
hereafter he will pay no attention to
calls to save men who have attempted
suicide.
There is a little story connected with
this that will bear repeating. The par
ty supposed to have poisoned himself is
the happy possessor of a mostNcharm-
ing wife, of whom he is desperately
jealous. Last night there was party
to which the wife was very DESTROYS of
going, but the husband objected. She,
however, paid no attention to his obiec-
tons, but went and had a jolly good
time of it. Hubby" remained at home,
and while seated in cheerless room,
haunted by the pangs of jealousy, he
vowed TO himself that ere the night had
passed he would teach his disobedient
wife a lesson that she would never for
get, and, in the memory of the cruel
wrongs and suf1erings she had heaped
upon his head, her conscience would so
lpbraid her that life in the future
would become miserable. To accom-
dish this he must destroy himself-but
low? Being too great coward tot
shoot or drown himself, he determined
ipon poison, but upon second thought |
he concluded that would not do, So he |

When the others heard this they open
ed their eyes and said that this was
scarcely according to the agreement.
But as they could not control their
laughter, and were wealthy and good
natured men, and as the Jew had helped
them to while away the time from ST.

SS~eH W shC nouSSs
We observe in several OF our ex.
changes that William W. Miller, Esq,
one OF the delegates from Ohio county.
is urged as a candidate for Speaker o
the new House Of Delegates. Mr. Mil.
Ter is one Of the most experienced mem.
bers Of the Legislature, having served
frequently in deliberate bodies. He
was q member of the Convention,
which fact in connection with another
that he was in the Legislature of
1868, by which the the present Code OF
West Virginia WAS adopted-gives him
peculiar justification for serving in the
chair at the approaching session. The
important duty OF adopting the Code to
the new Constitution will require the
best legislative ability aud experience;
and familiarity with the provisions OF
both the statute and the organic law
will be essential 10 presiding officer
This, Mr. Miller has had an opportunity
to acquire, and which, we believe, has
been offered to no other member We
may add that our estimate o. Mr.. Mil
Ter is not lesseued By bis conduct at the
Parkersburg Convention. He was 40
unsuccessful candidate for nomination
as Auditor there; but he gave strong
and energetic support to the ticket, with.
out complaint or murmuring His ex-
