REMEDY FOR HYDRopuoBIA.- -Geol

REMEDY FOR HYDRopHoBIA George
L. Beach, NJ. d., writes to tho Bostor
Globe concerning hydrophobia, and after
giving some interesting information as
to the symptoms Of the disease, closes
with the following advice:
What ought to be done when person
has been bitten by mad dog, or by any
dog? First, be very sure that you do
not waste valuable time running for q
doctor, but go to work yourself, and as
quickly as possible wash the weund with
water aud soap--warm water is prefer.

is well to add little spirits ammonia,
aqua ammonia water OF ammonia to the
water; but do not wait Tor it What Is
to be done must be done with as little de
lay as possible. Next cauterize the
wound with muratic asid poured upon
and into it but for fear it may not pene
trate to the bottom, the nitrate Of silver
in sticks (lunar caustic) is preferable.
Sharpen the stick of nitrate of silver aud
push it down to the bottom OF the wound
and into each ineision, indentation or
laceration, and hold it there until every
part of the wound is most thoroughly
cautcrized Wnen the pain of the caus.
tic ceases the poison will be destroy ed
Ii the lunar causte cannot be readily ob.
tanned, let u wire be used, heated to q
white heat, which plunge to the bottom
of each incision made by the dogs teeth.
Do not hesitate or tliach--your life is in
jeopardy. Afterwards the part may be
cut out, if the surgeon thinks it advisa-

DoN'r DO IT Don't ask the Lord TO
keep your garments unspotted " He
isn't rcnovating old clothes.
Don't linger where your "love lies
dreaming Wake her up and tell her
to get breakfast.
Don'ttu up your nose at light things.
Think of bread and taxation.
Don't insult poor man. His muscles
may be well developed.
Don't put on airs in your new clothes.
Remember that your tailor is suffering.
Don't stand still and point the way to
heaven. Spiritual guide boards save but
few sinners.
Don't ask your pastor to preach with
out notes. How else can he pay his pre-.
vision billi
Don't fret. The world will move on
"a nsnaI after .yaas. arc gone.
Don't be too sentimental. A dead
heart, properly cooked, will nakea sa-

Don't write long obituaries. Save
some OF your kind words for the living.
