In a place in Wisconsin, the name of
which we cannot pronounce if we should
succeed in spelling it, resides cores
pOndent OF the Drawer who furnishes
the following:
Odd and good is old DR.. Nichols, who
formerly practiced medicine in Ohio. He
" took upn the business, having been
brought up" to trade; and as the
calls and fees did not come fast enough
to su1t him, he added an apotheeary's
shop to his business, for the retail of
drugs and medicines. He had great
sign painted to attract the wondering
| eyes of the villagers, and the Doctor
loved to stand in front of the store and
explain its beauties to the gaping behold
erS. One of these was an 1rishman, who
gazed at it for a while with conical
look, and then exclaimed:
"0ch! and by the powers, Doctor, if
| it isn'ttine! but there's something alittle
bit wanting in it,"
"And what, pray, is that?" asked the
| Doctor.
"Why, you see,n says Pat, "you've
| got O beautiful sheet of water here, and
not q bit of bird swimming in it,
"Ay-yes,D replied the Doctor, that's
| a good thought. I'll have o couple of
swans painted there; wouldn't they be
"Faith, and don't know but they
would" says Pat -" but I'm after think
| ing there's another kind OF bird that
would be more appropriate"
"And what's that ?" asks the Doctor.
| "Why, l can't exactly think Of his
name jistnow, but he is one of them kind
of birds that when he sings he says,
'quack, Quack, qudck!'"
| The last that was seen of Pat and the
Doctor, Pat was running for dear life
and the Doctor after him.

How TO CURE A COLD.-If cold set
ties on the outer covering of the lungs,
it becomes pneumonia, inflammation of
the lungs, or lung fever, and in many
cases carries Off the strongest man to the
grave within week. If cold falls upon
the inner covering of the lungs, it is
pleurisy, with it's knife-ike pains and
it's slow, very slow recOyeries. If a cold
settles in the joints, there is rheumatism,
with the agOnies of pain, and rheuma-
tism of the heart, which in an instant
often snaps asunder the cords of life
with no friendly warning. It is of the
utmost importance, then, in the wintry
weather, to know not so much how to
cure cold as to avoid it. Cold always
comes from one cause-some part of the
body being colder than natural for Il
time. IF q person will keep his feet
warm always, and never allow himself
or herself to be chilled, he or she will
never take cold in d lifetime and this
can only be accomplished by due care in
warm clothing and avoidance of drafts
and exposure. While multitudes ofcolds
come from cold feet, perhaps the ma
jority arise from cooling off too quickly
after becoming little warmer than is
natural, from exercise or work, or from
confinement to warm apartment Ma
tiOnat independent.

A Specific for DiarrhCR.
From the National independently


Considerable has been lately said in
medical journals concerning the value
OF milk us q remedial agent in certain
diseases. An interesting article uDon
this subject lately appeared in the Lon
don Milk journal, in which it is stated
on authority of DR.. Benjamin Clarke
that in the East Indies warm milk is
used to great extent as specific for
dlarhR. A pint every four hours will
check the emOst violent diarrh9, stomach
ache, inGipient cholera and dysentery.
fhe milk should never be boiled, but
only heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm, not too hot to drink. Milk which
has been boiled is unfit for use. The
writer gives several instances to show
the value of this simple substance in ar
resting this disease, among which is the
fOllOwing: The writer says: "It has
never failed in curing in six to twelve
hours, and have tried it, should think,
fifty times. | have given it to a dying
man who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by
one continual diarrh9, and it acted on
him like Il charm. In twodays his diar-
rhCe was gone, in three Weekshe became
a hale, fat man, and now nothing that
may hereafter occur will ever shake his
faith in hot milk. A writer also COM
municates to the Medical Times and
Gazette, & statement of the value of
milk in twenty-six cases Of typhoid fe-
yer, in every one of which it's great value
was apparent. 1t checks diarrh9, and
cools the body. People suffering from
disease, require food quite as much as
those iii health, and much more so in
certain diseases where there is rapid
waste of the system. Frequently all or
dinary food in certain diseases is reject
ed by the stomach, and even loathed by
the patient; but nature, ever benefcent,
has furnished food that in all diseases
is beneticial-in some directly curative.
Such a food is milk" The writerin the
journal last quoted, DR.. Alexander Yale,
after giving particular ObservationsupOn
the points above mentioned, viz: its ac-
tiOn in checking dialThCe, it's nOurishing
properties; and it's action in cooling the
body, says: eve believe that milk nOur-
ishes in fever, promotes sleep, wards off
delirium, sOOthes the intestines, and, in
fine, is the sine qua non in typhoid fever"
We have also lately tested the value of
milk in scarlet fever, and fearn that it is
now recommended by the medical fac
ulty in allcases of this often very dis
tressing children's disease. Give all the
milk the patient will take even during
the period of greatest fever; it keeps up
the strength of the patient, acts well
upon the stomach, and is in every way
a blessed thing in this sickness. Parents,
remember it, and do not fear to give it
if your dear ones are afflicted with this
disease.
