Cure for Diphtheria.

At the request of readers we reprint the rem
edy for dipbtheria published few weeks since
by n. Sbishkin, the Russian Minister to the
United States:
In view Of the increase CT liphtheria in sever
al places of The State of New York, l hasten Ia
communicate to you for publicity a very simpl .
remedy, which, having been used in Russia and
Germany, may prove effective here Oar If sew
eral Others, DIR. Leizerich, VIII, made extensi We
experiments in the application of this remedy
has used 1t IN twenty seven cases, eight of which
were of very serious nature, all of which had
a favorable result, except in case, when the
child died from complication of diseases. For
the children of one year he prescribes the rsmr-
dy for internal Use, every ar two hours, fol
lows:
Natr. Benzoic. pur so SOW. in al. distiilat al.
menth. piper. ana 400 syr. cort. aur. 100.
For children from to three years old he
prescribed it from seven to eight grammes for
100 grammes of distilled water, with same syr-
mp; for children three To seven years old he pre-.
scribed ten to fifteen grammes, and for grown
persons from fifteen to twenty-five granmes
for each 100 grammes.
Besides this he uses also with great success
the installation the diphtherial membrane
through glass tube; in serious cases every
three hours, in light cases three times day OF
the natr. benzoc puver. For grown persons b 9
prescribes for gargling diution of ten gram
mes of this puver for 200 grammes of water.
The effect of the remedy is rapid. After
twenty-fOur. OF thirty six hours the feverish
symptoms disappear completely and the temper
ature and pulse become normal. The remedy
was used also with the same success by DIR. Bra
ham Braun and Prof Klebs, in Prag; Dr. Ssna =

Danpen the Air new.

We can hardly too often suggest the imp ort-
ance Of providing ample moisture in all rooms
heated by stoves, furnaces, steam pipes, ar hot
water pipes. There arc sound scientific rea.y1y
for this we'll as in the results Of practical ex
perience. As stated in .'Short Notes on Air"
above, every degree Of heat added to the atm ~
phere In room gives it pawer Of absorbing
and secyefiag moisture. The air in . room 20 by
20 feet and 10 feet high, at 32o holds, secretes,
about II pints Of water. The same air heated
to ZOE, secretes upwards of tiro quarts Of water
and unless this is supplied, it it is hungry for
more water absorbs it from every accessible
source, from the furniture from our bodies, and
especially from the breathing organs-th Q
mouth, throat, and lungs, leaving them dry and
husky. Therefore, every time the air in the
room is changed by the admission of fresh, col
air, and heated to ZOE, two quarts of water
should be evaporated into the room. The
strong objections some have to warm air heat
ers have arisen mainly from this cause. In us
ing furnace heaters We always put into the hot :
air chamber extra water-ps besides any that
are supplied by the manufacturers, AMI take
good care to always have them filed with water .
In stove heated rooms there should usually be
an eyaporating surface of water equal to one
square foot for every IL feet square Of flooring,
and more il the water is not on q hot place
enough to keep it rapidly evaporating. Plants

The Lancet says: Remembering that the only

cspecially-is located within the organism and
that the of clothes is to conserve the caloric
it is important to take advantage of every cir
cumstance which will help the result desired
Certainly lightcolored substances approaching
to " bite do not part with their heat so readily
as dark. The bear of the polar regions is for
this reason provided with white fur, while his
brother of warmer climates has a dark color ed
integument. Ii therefore seems desirable to
prefer bright to sombre hues, and if this choice
were made the result would be an air of addi-
tioual cheerfulness in the public streets. FASH
ion is, of course, omnipotent and memorable,
but, if not to late, We should like to urge the
consideration suggested by science and common
sense on those who have not yet laid in their
store of winter clothing. The matter may seem
of small moment, but the life We live is made
up of small considerations and little affairs.

TREATMENT OF FROZEN PIANTs.-In times Of
the severe cold, the more tender plants in the
window will sometimes be chilled and frozen.
Su oh plants should not be put near the stove, to
be tbawed ont; but kept where the tempe "a
ture is trifie above the freezing point that the
thawing may be gradual, aud in the dark, that
deleterious chemical changes may not take
place. If severely touched with the frost, it is
best to remove the frozen parts, that new stems

The Elk Couldn't Wait.

THE following satire on the practical
uselessness of the present method of
rifle shooting is good:
A man belonging to village rifle
team was recently out on the plains of
Wyoming Territory looking for game.
Finally the party sighted an elk at 800
yards and prepared to shoot him. He
was noble buck. The member of
the rifle team put blanket down
among the sage brush and artistically
placed himself upon his back, with his
left arm like figure 2, supporting his
neck, and his right-arm, like figure 7,
supporting the aft end OF the rifle. The
measure of the wind was taken. and the
sights were scientifically adjusted, while
the expert made a figure eight with his
legs and rested the rifles bow between
the toes of his shoes. The measure of
his fore-finger was now taken by pat
ent machine, and the trigger was filed
off slightly on the near side in order to
be adjusted to the weight of his finger.
Two men were then sent out to put flags
each side of the elk to show the bounds
outside of which the rifle teamster was
not to fire; but the elk thought it had
waited long enough and ran away.
