1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable
kingdoms have been diligently searched to pro-
cure the most drastic and poisonous purga-
tives, in order to produce a powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebIed organ. This system of treatment is
On the same principle as that of giving weak
and debilitated man large portions Of brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount of work.
When the stimulant is withheld, the organ,
like the system, gradually relapses into more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What, then, is wanted? Medi-
cines, that, while they cause the bile to flow
freely from the liver, as that organ is toned
into action, will not overwork and 1hus debili-
tate it, but will, when their use is discontinued,
leave the liver strengthened and healthy.

Clothing the Neck.

The good sense of the following is
apparent, and it comes to us from high
authority "The clothing about the
neck should be very moderate in guam
tity, and worn so loose as to pr, vent the
slightest compression. The great er-
rors frequently committed in clothing
this part of the body, consist in wearing
such an amount as to overhead and
weaken the throat, and thus render it
easily susceptible to cold, or in wearing
it so tight as to retard the circulation
of the blood to and from the head.
Great care should be exercised upon
this point, as the arteries and veins
leading from the heart to the brain are
situated so near the surface in the neck
that slight compression there serves to
check the flow of the blood. Many
cases of congestion of the brain and
headache sre partially or wholly caused
by too tight collars and cravats."

New THEORY OF CoLoR-Prof. Rood's
demonstrations of the new theory of
color, in the Popular Science Monthly,
are of great interest. The old theory
of the three primary colors-red, yell
low and blue-as Is we'll known, has
been overthrow by Young and Helm
holtz. The new theory is based on
physiology. There are in the retina of
the eve three sets of nerves, it is alleged,
which are adapted for the production
of the sensations, which are called red,
green, and violet. When the red nerve
and the green nerve are excited both at
once we get sensation of yellow; when
the green and violet nerves are excited
simultaneously it gives a feeling of
blue: when all three are irritated to-
gether we experience the sensation
which we call white. Color in nature
Is not absolute, but relative; it is not
real, but depends on the state of our
nerves. The brightest color which ap-
pears in the field of vision at any one
time, if looked at long enough-that is,
until the nerve reaches the maximum of
stimulatiOn-will seem white.

HINT FOR DYsPEPTICs.- When victims
of dyspepsia take camphor to allay
headache, they introduce into their
systems a nervous stimulant, the phys
biological effect of which is to infiame
the mucous lining of the stomach and
cause liberation there. Large quanti-
ties produce congestion, convulsion,
and death, like immodeIate doses of
alcohol or opium. Plainly, then, dys-
peptics should be particularly temper
ate with camphor.

The Greatest River orthe world.

The Amazon is the most yoluminOus
of rivers. At the Rarrows of Obydos,
six hundred miles from the sea, half a
million cubic feet of water pass any
given point every second. Born III
Lake Lauricocha, among the Andes of
Peru, the main trunk runs northerly
for five hundred miles in a continuous
series of rapids, and then, from the
frontier of Ecuador, 1t flows easterly
Twenty-Five hundred miles across the
great equatorial plain of the continent.
The average current of the great river
in its passage through Brazil is three
miles an hour. At TabOtinga, two
thousand miles from its mouth, the
width is a mile and half, with q
depth of eleven fathoms; at the en-
trance of the Madeira, it Is three miles
wide, and below Santaren 1t Is ten.
The tributaries are in keeping with
this colossal trunk. In fact, the Am
azons is 4 great river system, rather
than one river. It has twelve afIlu-
ents over a thousand miles long, the
largest-the Madeira equaling the
Arkansas, entering the Amazons nine
hundred miles from its mouth.
Besides these and q host of minor
tributaries, there is o wonderful net
work Of natural canals alongside of
the main river and joining the tribu-
taries, called igarapes, paranas and
furos. These bypaths are of immense
advantage for DtercOmmunication.
They are characteristic of the coun-
try, and are so numerous that ANA
zonia is truly cluster of islands
Altogether, this vast island of fresh
water sea, drains a territory of two
million square miles, reaching from
the Andes TO the Atlantic, and throw
ing out its arms to the OrinocO and
Paraguay. On the Lower Amazons
the Annual rise reaches its maximum
about the middle of June, and its
minimum in December, the difference
of level being about fifty feet.
No other river runs IN so deep
channel to so great a distance. No
other river can furnish over six thou
sand miles of continuous navigation
for large vessels. For two thousand
miles from its mouth the main stream
has not less than seven fathOms of
water; and not a fall interrupts navi-
CATION for twenty-five hundred miles.
The PongO de Maneriche is the wcs-
Z tern limit 20 navigation on the ANA
zon proper. While the current Is ev-
er east, there is a constant trade-wind
westward, so that navigation up or
down has always something in its IA
vor. In August and September a
strong breeze sweeps over the lower
part OF the main trunk, so that schoo-
! ners often go from Para to Obydos in
/ ten days, or one-third of the ordinary
/ time
