The Prevention of Typhoid,

The Royal Academy of Medicine of
Belgium has published quarto volume
on typhoid fever, in which the nature,
the causes and the treatment of that
deadly disease are fully considered and
discussed by DR.. Cousot, who, by the
way in which he has executed his task,
has gained the gold medal offered by
the academy. After showing in what
typhoid fever consists, DR.. Cousot ex-
plains the means to be taken to prevent
its contagious effects, and among these,
picnic acid and coal-tar occupy a
prominent place. Both are active dis
infectants, and the acid mingled with
water to hundredth or a thousandth
per cent. is efficacious for sprinkling,
for deodorizing and for washing. The
use of these remedies combined with
strict cleanliness is so beneficial, that
in districts which formerly were never
free from typhoid, not case has oc-
CURED during three years.

A tonic and Alternative medicine, the
invigc rating and regulating properties
of which actually lengthen life, and
add to the capacity for its enjoyment,
is within the reach of every member OF
the community. No invalid who has
had recourse to DIR. Walkers Vinegar
Bitters will hesitate to concede to il
these invaluable qualities. It is stom-
achic and corrective of unrivaled eff
cacy, yet being free from alcohol, it is
not an excitant. Its anti-bilious oper-
alton is more direct, speedy, and GER
tain than that of any of the dangerous
mineral salivants, and as an aperient, it
gently removes any distractions that
may have accumulated in the lower in
testine, without producing either irri-
tation or pain. In fact, it's wonderful
remedial effects ere unaccompanied by
any drawback. OF all medicines, it is
the most harmless and salubrious. As
an appetizer, it is far ahead of any of
the alcoholic nostrums that momentari-
ly stimulate the palate while as a
means of renovating a weak and torpid
stomach, it stands alone among modern
remedies. Com.

Out OF Work and Out Of Bread.

The clearest and best proof of the
want or of the presence of prosperity,
says the New York World, is to be
found in the condition of the labor
market. A winter of great hardship
closed last spring with thousands of
men longing and begging for work at
almost any price, The summer has
seen them idle, and an attempt is made
to show how far such enforced inaction
extends. The figures which we have
obtained are CLEANED from widely-ex-
tended personal observation. They
develop worse condition of affairs
than year ago. In the inquiries
which we have made an investigation
has been entered upon in all branches
of labor, from the highest skilled labor,
bordering closely upon the arts and
professions, down to the simplest form
of manual labor. In the course of an
Investigation made in New York city,
no manufacturing stablishments-ex-
cept those who deal with the neces-
saries of life, and few exceptionally
favored 10y patent or some other cir
cumstance-have been found which are
employing the number of hands or
turning out the product which they did
a year ago. In most cases this reduc-
tion amounts to from one-half to one
third of the payroll and the products
of the establishment. In the trades,
where the same inquiry has been prose-
cuted, the number of men out of en-
ployment amounts to fourth of the
entire number, and in many trades to
an even larger fraction. The intelli-
n4ft IL
applications for work, which show a
corresponding want of employment in
all branches of domestic service. About
one-third of the day-laborers in the
city are also out of employment. 1t
may be seriously questioned if in this
case the number does not amount to
one-half. The answers given by nearly
all contractors indicate that this is the
case. Nearly a month, and in some
some enterprises two months, must
elapse before work must stop at the
approach of winter. In most years
these closing weeks are the busiest of
the year, and contractors are driving
their work forward with increased
forces. The condition of affairs now
shows state of utter stagnation, which
can end only in destitution and want as
never before known on this island. 1t
was easy last year to explain the con-
dition of affairs now employers assign
no reasons, and in utter bewilderment,
in answer to the questions by which
facts have been elected, could only de-
clare that they were in utter ignorance
of any reason. Lest it should be
thought that New York is exceptional
in the large number of its laborers, it
should be said that New York has pro-
portionately a smaller share of day
1aborers in it's population than any
other city in the United States.

The Human Blood.

The axiom that "we die daily" is
aptly illustrated in paragraph of Prof.
Redfern's paper on Biology recently
read before the British Association.
Referring to the blood, it is said that
the duration of life in any of its parti-
cles is but short they die and their
places are occupied by others, and SO
continues a substitution which only
ends with death. After every meal an
amazing number of white corpuscles
are added to the blood; breakfast
doubles their proportion to the colored
corpuscles in half an hour supper in
creases their proportion three times,
and dinner makes it four times as great.
They come from such solid glands as
the spleen. In the blood going to this
organ their proportion is one to 1920 /;
in that returning from the spleen it is
as one to sixty. Perhaps the most stu
pendous fact of organization is the
steady maintenance of but slightly
variable characters in the living and
moving blood, which is every moment
undergoing changes of different kinds,
as 1T circulates through each tissue and
organ in the body.

Crpmatjou of Lady Dixie,

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes: "TLe body of Lady
Dixie, who died some time ago in Lon
don, was burned at Dresden. The
ceremony was performed in the furnace
recently invented for burial purposes
by Herr Siemens, and the relatives Of
the deceased lady permitting strangers
to be present, large number of scien-
tiic men attended the experiment
When the company had complied with
Herr Siemens's request to offer up q
mental prayer, the coffin was placed in
the chamber of the furnace; six min
utes later the coffin burst five minutes
more and the flesh began to melt away ;
ten minutes more and the skeleton was
laid bare another ten minutes and the
bones began to crumble. Seventy-fve
minutes after the introduction Of the
coffin into the furnace all that remained
of Lady Dixie and the coffin were six
pounds of dust, placed in an urn. The
brother-in-law of the deceased was
present."

How to Look Young Sixteen.-Dont
hands, and use Lyons Kathairon upon your hair.
The Balm makes your complexion pearly, soft and
natural, and you can't tell what did it. 1t removes
freckles, tan, sallowness, ring-marks, moth
patches, etc., and in place of red, rustic face you
have the marble purity OF an exquisite belle. 1t
gives to middle age the bloom of perpetual youth.
Add these effects to splendid head of hair pro-
duced by the Kathairon, and a lady has done her
best in way Of adornment. Brothers will have no
spinster sisters when these articles are around.
