Advice to Bathers.

The Royal Humane Society of Eng
land publishes some very seaSonable ad-
vice to bathers:
Avoid bathing within two hours after
meal, or when exhausted by fatigue or
from any other cause, or when the body
is cooling after perspiration, and avoid
bathing altogether in the open air if,
after being a short time in the water,
there is a sense of chillness, with numb
ness of hands and feet; but bathe when
the body is warm, provided no time is
lost in getting into the water. Avoid
chilling the body by sitting or standing
undreSsed on the banks or in boats after
having been in the water, or remaining
too long in the water, but leave the
water Immediately there is the slightest
feeling of chilliness. The vigorous and
strong may bathe early in the morning
on an empty stomach, but the young
and those who are weak had better
bathe two or three hours after meal !;
the best time for such is from two to
three hours after breakfast. Those who
are subject to attacks of giddiness or
faintness, and who sufferfrom palpitation
and other sense Of discomfort at the
heart, should not bathe without first
consulting their medical adviser.

4 Simple Cure for Drunkenness.

A Brooklyn man writes to the Sat1s:
81 drank more intoxicating liquor from
the year 1851 to the last day of 1878
than any other person | ever knew or
heard of; and in the meantime, know
ing this sure cure, did not practice it on
myself, but, for fun, did practice it on
many others, and effected permanent
cures. The remedy is this: When a
person finds he must have drink, let
him take a drink of water, say two or
three swallows, as often as the thirst or
craving may desire. Let him continue
this practice. His old chumS will laugh ;
but let him persevere, and it will not be
week before the appetite for any kind
of stimulant will disappear altogether,
and water may be taken to quench the
natural thirst. If at any time the victim
should feel a craving, let him take the
first opportunity and obtain swallow
of water, and he can pass and repasS all
saloons. When he goes nome at night
he will feel satisfied and be sober and
have money in his pocket. 1 COM
menced this practice the first day of
1874, and never think of taking a drink
of stimulants.
