PREPARATION FOR CORNS. .--JaZOW, III the V-Gtcb Vedomosti, recommends painting the corns with the following preparation Extr. cannab. indic@, 50; acid. salicyl, 200; collodii, 240.0 In all cases where it was used, the corns rapidly disappeared.
 NEW REMEDY FOR BALDNEss. In cases of confirmed badness the new remedy proposed Is to remove the scalp, bit by bit, and substitute, by skin grating, pieces of healthy scalp, taken from tho heads of young persons. The success which has heretofore attended operations of this nature in cases of scalp wounds gives promising outlook for this new mode of curing badness; and perhaps the day is not far distant when the shin ing pates of our venerable fathers will bloom with the flowing locks of youth.
 TooTHwAsH.-Acco to the Jou77,al of Pharmacy, an excellent toothwash containing glycerine is made as follows; Soap bark, ground, ounces glycerine. 3 ounces diluted alcohol, sufieent for pints; oil of gaultheria, 50 drops oil oi peppermint, 20 drops. Macerate the soal, bark in the mixture of glycarine and diluted alcohol for three or four days, and filter through little msgnesia pre-, viously triturated with the volatile oil Thus made, much better preparation Is obtained than by macerating the bar in the dilute alcohol, and adding th i, glycerine afterward.
 How TO TREAT CoLp.-When you get chilly all over and ava into your bones, and begin to snifae an! almost struggle for your breath, jusi begin in time and your tribulations need not last very long. Get some powdered borax and snuff the dry powder up your nostrils. Get your camphor bottle, smell it frequently, pour some on your hand i kerchief and wipe your nose with 1t when- ever needed. Your nose will not get sore and you will soon wonder whats become of your cold Begin this treat ment in the forenoon and keep on at intervals until you go to bed, and you will sleep as well as you ever did. am just telling you my experience.

 FooD FOR HEALTH.-It is diff cult to lay down any strict rule as to the amount of food to be taken in twenty-four hours by grown-up peo- pie. Men require more animal food then women, and those engaged in &C., tive exercise require much more than those who live 8 sedentary life. Labor CTS can get through much more work in day when we'll fed than when living on moderate diet. The different kinds of food should be well apportoned: 1t Is equally bad to live on a purely farina- eeous diet as it would be to take only fat or meat. What Is required for state of health is to take 8 fair proportion of each. It is important, also, that meals should be taken with regularity, as it is very bad plan oallow intervals of vary ing lengths between meals. It has been estimated that the food required every twenty-fou hours by man in full health, and taking free exercise, is of meat Is oz. of bread 19 oz.; fat 31 oz.; and water 52 fluid oz that is about 23 lbs. of solid food, and about three pints of fluid.
 A WATER FmTEE. sickness would often be averted from the house. holdlf, among other sanitary regulations, none but filtered water was drunk by it's members. Water may look and taste like the purest, and still contain disease germs that we would retreat from in horror if they but presented themselves duly labeled. Wells, cis- terms and springs that occupy ground lower than that of drains, vaults or barnyards, within hundred feet or more, should be regarded with suspi- cion, no matter how "splendid" the water may appear. A good and efficient filter can be made in this way Take cask, remove one end and set it up- right, the open end at the top. At one-third of the distance from the bot tom place round partition, pierced with small holes. On this arrange a layer of clean, small pebbles, and over them a layer of charcoal and sand, topping 1t with more pebbles. Over this put another with holes in it, or a layer of good sized stones, to prevent the pebbles from being disturbed when water is poured in. A faucet is to be placed iu the bottom to draw of the water. A pail of water and lump of ice placed in the top of the cask and closely covered supplies the perfection of drinking water for twenty hours.
