THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

A OIL Of strong tea, taken nt bed
time, will relieve night sweat
FoR rheumatism A large piece o.
flannel we'll sprinkled with salipcter.
FoR hacking cough, sore throat or
mouth, take teaspoonful Of salt in a
hah-cup Of water, and gargle three times
a day before each meal
In these days Of neuralgia and sudden
colds, says an exchange, u Is sensible -
have some means Of relief close at hand.
Make two or three little bags Of cotton
cloth and fill them with hops. Then
when you need them heat just as hot as
possible even 10 the extent Of browning
the cloth, and apply 10 the aching mem
Der. People who cannot endure the
odor of the old-time remedy Of hops and
vinegar do not object 10 the hops alone.
The dry hop-bag Is a great improvement
upon wet cloths Of any kind.
ALCOHOL As SrnfULANr.-D John
Wilson, in his " Health and Health Re-
sorts, remarks Of alcoholic drinks ns
stimulants: "They are, as q rule, the
most palatable theyimpart gentle slim

other carbOnaceOus matter does. / con-
Tess they are open 10 the objection uf
endangering the formation of habits ui
intemperance, but IN advanced cases Of
phthisis have rarely known this g. be-
the case, and am convinced that have
seen at least many days added 10 the
lives Of such invalids by the use Of these
beverages without this evil consequence.
BY a wise law OF nature, that which sub
serves a needful purpose rarely demon

necessity, and IN cases Of rapid disinte.

effect Of the alcohol is more or less toat
in the process Of combustion, ia which
its carbonaceous principle plays su inn

cising too little. Nine times in tet the

To CURE SNEEzN0. "A correspondent
Of the British Medical Journal SAYS
During thsrecentrnpid changes u tenn
perature, caught a cold Ina my head.
accompanied by almost incossant sncez-
ing. My unfortunate nose gave mc no
rest. The slightest impact of cold air,
or passing from the outside air into a
warm room, equally brought on a iit 81
sneezing. In vain / snufied camphor
and pulsatilla the light catarrh still tri-
umphed over me- AZ length I resolved
10 see what the maintenance Of uni
form temperature would do toward di-
minishing the irritability Of my Schnui-
derian membrane, and accordingly /
plugged my nose with cotton wool. The
effect was instantaneous i sneozed no
more. Again and again tested the cf-
ficacy Of this simple remedy, always
with the same result However near /
was 10 a sneeze, the introduction Of the
pledgets stopped Il at once. Nor WA
there any Inconvenience from their pres.
ence, making them sufficiently firm not
10 tickle, and yet leaving them suii-
GENTLY loose 10 easily breathe through"
This is really worth knowing, for incoa-
SAINT sneezing is among the greatest 81
smaller ills, and II seems only = rational
conclusion to hope that this simple plan
may furnish the most efficient remedy
against one Of the most distressing symp-
toms Of hay lever.
