FOR HOARSENESs
According to La France Medicale
borax has been been employed with adj
vantage in cases Of hoarseness and apho-
mia occurring suddenly from the action
of cold. The remedy is recommended
to singers and orators whose voices sud-
denly become lost, but which by these
means can be recovered instantly. A
little piece of borax the size of pea is
to be slowly dissolved in the mouth ten
minutes before singing or speaking.
The remedy provokes an abundant secre-
ton of saliva, which moistens the mouth
and throat. This local action of the
borax should be aided by an equal dose
of nitrate Of potassium, taken In warm
solution before going to bed.
TO PREVENT DIPHTHERIA
To prevent diphtheria, and finally ex-
terminate it, every man, woman and
child throughout the world should be
brought to obey the laws of life and
health. Parents should regularly feed,
properly clothe and duly restrain all
children, before they come to the years
of understanding and accountability.
prominent physician of Paris estimated
that 3, 900 children had died in that city,
during the thirty years of his practice
there, from short sleeves, short pants,
and other kindred imprudence in the
dressing of children. And I am fully
convinced that so large a sacrifice, in
towns at least, in this country, from the
same cause-an for a wicked fashion.
And from careful observations, in this
country and abroad, am confident that
at least as many more are carried off by
improper food and irregularity of taking
it, together with poisonous candies and
other unwholesome and indigestible
trash, that no child OF other person
should eat.-Dr. EdaUiaa r. Md1soaa, IN
