tions &c Fat People,
It's Biillat Savarin. we believe,
who, in his immortal book on gas.
trcnomy, AYERS that no one is en-
tirely satisfied with bis weight ;
every one wants to be somewhat
fatter or somewhat leauer ; or, il
be or she is just about as he
would be in this respect, be inn
AGNES tendency one way or the
other which he feels he must be
on his guard to correct.
There is enough truth in this
to make it an object for that en-
terprising class Of individuals who
aiver lie pretty cons. antly various
s'cret fat producing and fat de-
creasing nostrums. Tie extraor-
binary sale of Banting's famous
pamphlet, which reached 10000
or 10000 copies, attests the same,
and almost every year there is a
new remedy cffered to the regular
profession, either to make fat or
decrease it.
The larger class, or, at any rate,
apparently the more anxious class,
are those who are too fat and wish
TO grow leaner. OF The various
drugs proposed TO accomplish this,
acids. in tie form of vinegar, and
alSalies, especially liquid potas,@
are tie best known. No doubt
both these produce the Effect de-
sired, tat they both do it at the
cost Of profound disturbances Of
the nutriiive functions, and, ii
many cases, serious danger 10 life
Recently Dr.. FARMER has called
attention to the success Of a milk
diet in these cases. lie ccmmen-
ces by allowing three.luurtbs the
usual food and one liter Of mill,
the first day; one bali the usuaI
food aud two liters OF milk the
second day; one fourth The usuaI
food and three liters Of milk the
third day. and thereafter four IL
ters Of milk daily and nothing
else. Often, however. it is better
to allow a small proportion of tht
usual food each day, TO prevent
the patient becoming tired of the
milk Should diarrhea set in, the
milk should be suspended for q
while and then resumed. DR.
Tarnier claims that this treatment
is always successful, and entails
no danger whatever.

Take Care of the Horses.


The Illinois humane society,
through an appeal issued by their
committee, make the following
suggestions, which owners Of hor-
SEES will serve their own interests
by attending to:
l. Shoes-lf horses are sharp
shod in cold weather they viii
null larger loads TO greater advan-
tage; tits poor economy to neglect
the proper shoeing Of horses, which
may thus be seriously injured.
2 Blankets,etc -HorsessLould
be protected by the blankets or
water proof covers from rain or
snow, while standing. The cost
of blanket is very small and its
use would repay the outlay many
times. Any wooden or other protec-
ton placed under the pad or saddle,
and extending back over he hips,
will be found very useful, as pro-
teciing weak part of the animal.
3. The clipping of horses at
this season is considered to be, at
least, imprudeut, and By this So
ciety inhumane owners are re-
speciiully urged 10 allow the ami
nal 10 retain the covering with
which nature has provided them
4 Check reins-Wotk horses
i at all, should be checked very
low they can thus pull TO great
er advantage, protect their eyes
from raia or snow, aud are less Ii
able 10 stumble or injure them
selves 1t will be noticed thai
the city railway companies have
largely abandoned the use Of
check reins
. Biis-It is prudent to warn
with the hands, or otherwise, bit,
before placing them in the horses
mouths,

The Pitis BILE Condition of
Memphis.

From the Memphis -Acaldnche
we clip the following editorial
extract, as an illustration of The
gloomy state Of affairs in that
Inflated city:
The coming session of The
Legislature Of the State will be
one OF vital concern TO Mem
phis. She can never have hcaltli
or thrive Without a thorough
change Of her government. I'm
less tins is done her people arc
without hope. She must be re-
Iieved for the present from tax
alton. to pay her existing IN
debtedpess, 10th principal and
interest; and her sanitary laws
must be perfect. How are these
things to be accomplished? We
answer, repeal the City Charter,
leaving the State laws to gov
ern. And with this repeal, let
Offices OF Mayor and Aldermen,
and all city officers proper cease
10 exist. This will terminate
the current expenses Of running
the city government proper.
The power TO do this is am
pie. The repeal of charter will
not extinguish the existing In
debtedness nor prevent judg-
ments for it against the city. (
But If there are no State officers
or agents TO assess and collect
the taxes to pay the debt, it will
remain suspended until such
time as the Legislature of the /

IIoRsEs' SORE BACK.-Somc
years ago it fell to my lot 10
dress the sore backs of a lot of
station horses. The plan / fol-
lowed was washing the sores
with warm water and busting
them with washing soda. In
stead of merely crushing the
soda, / heated it in an iron plate
over the fire till all the moisture
was evaporated, and it fell into
impalpablc powder. So treated,
the soda busted over the sore
effected a cure in n marvelously
short space of time.-Cor.
