TO RELIEVE CATARnn.-A
writer in an exchange gives the
following eight hints for relicy-
ing catarrh;
Inhale through the nosirils a
strong solution Of salt and wa
tn. | would advise as strong
n solution as an ounce to the
pint, though some will tolerate
more.
Inahis strengths not painful,
but acts as tonic and astl'in-
gent, relieving congestion, and
preventing the cndosmose eff
feet which would accompany
he Use OF pure water or weaker
solutions.
But it is a mistake to suppose
that salt wafer will cure all cas-
cs Of catarrh. 1870 T. g
When the condition is one OF
chronic congestion simply, with
acid secretion, it may be suffi-
cient; but in the worst forms,
where there is a dcep-sealed In
ilammaiion with liberation, more
powerful astringeni, as we'll as

solutions are requisite 10 effect

Inhale the smoke from pine

pine tar (not the oily from ship

Hold your head over il, keed
your mouth shut, and inhlae

poker three or four times, until
the room is filed with smoke,
shut doors and windows, aud

possible.

MULLEN in ones bedroom Just
before retiring; after smoking
open a window from the top;the
smoke slowly escapes, but e.
Iough remains TO be of some
benefit.
Mullen leaves should be thor
onghly dried and then used the
same as tobacco in a pipe.
The smoke should be pressed
to the back Of The mouth and
cxhaled through the nose; once
or twice a week will suffice, and
should be pcrSeycred in.
If properly cured there will

KISSING.

my hand to a gentleman, my cheek to a
friend, but nay lips must be kept for my
lover" says the French girl and surely
this rule is a wise one. Pretty girls, among
the French, kiss each other on both cheeks.
The German men put their arms about each
other and kiss the lips. The Italians kiss
the lips, and cheek, and the tip OF the fair
ones ear. So do the. Spaniaras, only more
so. The inhabitants of the lawful North,
also. submit to and understand the osculato-
ry process, as Lord Dutferin testified in his
travels, Of a Landlady who undressed his
chum Fitzgerald, tucked him in bed, and
gave hima hearty smack on the lips, be-
tore retiring to her own couch. So all the
world believes in kissing.
