NEW MODE OF ADMINISTRATIVE
CASTOR OlL.-To the oil add suf-
ticient pulverized sugar, favored
with cinnamon or lemon, to convert
the whole into a plastic dough; then
form into boluses. Compound lic-
orice powder may be substituted
> for the sugar. Children, says the
Boston Journal Of Chemistry, quarrel
over this co,fection. For grown peo-
pie the boluses may, in some Install
.ces, be enveloped in water-paper.
ACCORDING to Hamilton the sever
est catarrhal cold can he cured in
} about ten hours by u mixture OF car
bolic acid, about ten drops; tincture
of iodine and chlorotorln, each sew
cnty-tive drops. A few drops OF the
mixture should he heated over !,
spirit lamp, in u test tube, the mouth
Of which should be applied to the
nostrils us soon as volatization is eff
tected. The operation should be re-
peated in about two minutes, when.
after the patient sneezes 4 number OF
times, the troublesome symptoms
rapidly disappear. Sc

CARE OF THE TEErH-Desirahle as
SOun0 CeeCh are, 'tnere is no part o.
the bodies of young children that is
so much neglected by parents
Scarcely one child in a hundred has
regular, sound teeth, and the proper.
ton of those that are covered to q
crater or less extent witffan unpleas.
ant looking coating is equally great
The daily use of the brush, without
any other dentifrice than pure white
CASTLE soap, and the removal of &
tooth or two: would. in most instan.
ces. not only give Wilderness, but reg
ularity, both combining to greatly
enhance beauty. An offensive breath
is often remedied by careful atten-
ton to the teeth and thoroughly
washing and rinsing the mouth attcI

drops OF tincture of myrfh is put
