Some good mothers fly to the camphor
or peppermint bottle on the slightest
provocation. Camphor is the more dan
gerous drug, but both are capable of de-
stroying life, As generally used, in the
form of an alcoholic tineture, their po-
teney is in no wise diminished, but rath.
er increased by the addition of another
poison
Peppermint oil, from which the es-
sence is made, is powerful stimulant,
and its capacity for harm is by no means
inconsiderable. liberation of the stom-
ach has been induced by it, and many
diseases have followed its habitual use.
Camphor is poisonous gum-resin, ca
pable of readily inducing great nervous
irritation. When taken in small doses
| it has much the effect of alcohol or OPT
UNI. In large doses it occasions spasms
and death. In any appreciable amount
it irritates the mucus membrane of the
stomach, and leads to constipation and
liberation. Even few doses of this
drug may lead to incurable dyspepsia
Yet thousands of families fly to the cam
phor bottle for relief from every variety
Of pain.
1t were thousand times better that
every camphor bottle in the land should
be broken than that its contents should
be Unfortunately employed. The pc.
tent drug ought never to be administered
internally, except by a competent per-
son, familiar with its power
1t would be a good thing if mothers
could learn to depend upon water cold,

age of all bodily pain There is nothing
so innocent; nothing so effectual. Co
pious draughts of very hot water aided,
If need be, by hot water enemas, and hot
water externally applied, will speedily
relieve nine cases in ten. Cold water is
the most powerful local anasthetic
known. The pain of a sprained limb is

cut short by intense heat. A large pro-
portion of all cramps and spasms may

LONDON, July l0.-The Times having
published some strictures on the address IN
favor Of Henry Ward Beecher by the Con-
gregatiOnal ministers, DR.. Alexander
Raleigh, one of the signers, has written a
reply. He says, in signing the address, he
never meant to commit any portion of the
NOncOnfOrmists to his views, and adds: 1t
is not a sound principle to assert that be-
cause a man may be blameable in lighter
things, he is not TO be approached with an
expression of sympathy by those who are
unspeakably glad TO believe he
has shown himself innocent of
graver charges. The. letter concludes
as follows: never supposed that in sign
ing the document L was expressing any
opinion on Mr.. Beecher's sayings or dOings
in general. l believe the Christian senti-
ment Of England will unanimously lament
and condemn some things which Beecher
acknowledges. In the course of the trial
he blamed himself without stint. Nor do
l believe he has recovered himself, and will
stand in homer and usefulness as formerly.
All foreign mayors, to whom were sent
invitations to the international banquet, at
Guild Hall, on the 10Th list, have accepted,
two only excepted.
