Warm MIX "a Health Restorcr.

Considerable has been lately said in
medical journals concerning warm milk
as remedial agent in certain diseases.
The Christian at Work, referring to an
interesting article on this subject which
lately appeared in the London MIX Jour.
:scA, =!s.ee. cc he ::::.IIo-::y os Dr.. 1n,5a-
jamin Clarke, that in the East Indies
warm milk il used to great extent as n
specific for diarrhea. A pint every four
hours will check the most violent diar.
rh9a, stomach-ache, incipieut cholera
and dysentery. The mill should never
be boiled, but only heated sufficiently to
be agreeably warm, not too hot to drink
Milk which has been boiled is unfit for
use. This writer gives several instances
in arresting the disease, among which Ia
the following:
The writer says: "It has never failed
in curing in six or twelve hours, and I

have also given it to dying man who
had been subject to dysentery eight
niontH5, iatteTiy accompanied by ono
continued diarrhna, and 1t acted on him
like charm. In two days his diarrhna
was gone: in three weeke he became e
hale, hearty man and now nothing that
may hereafter occur will shake his faith
In hot milk. A writer has also commu.
nicated to the Medical Times and Gazeffe
statement Of the value of milk in twen-
ty-six cases Of typhoid fcver, in every
one OF which it's great value was appar-
cnt. 4 checks diarrhna, and nourishes
and cools t,o: body. People suffering
from diseases need food quite as much as
those In health, and much more 80 in
certain diseases where there ia q rapid
waste Of the system. Frequently all or
dinary food, In certain diseases, Is reiec-
ted by the stomach, and even loathed by
the patient; but nature, ever bepeficent,
has furnished food that in all diseases is
benefciai.in come directly curative.
Such Food is milk" The writer in the
journal last quoted, DR.. Alexander Yale,
after giving particular observations upon
the point above mentioned, its action in
checking diarrhGa, it's nourishing prop
critics, and It's action in soothing the body,
says: "We believe that milk nourishes
in fever, promotes sleep, wards off deli
rum, soothes the intestines, and, in fine,
is the sine qua non In typhoid fever"
We have lately tested the value of
milk in scarlet fever, and learn that It IL
now recommended by the medical faculty
in all cases of this often very distressing
children's disease. Give all the milk the
patient will take, even during the period
OF greatest fever. 1t Keeps up the
strength Of the patient, acts we'll upon

4 Collision OF Comet and Sun.

1t was Sir Isaac Newton who first pre-
dicted that comet would fall into the
sun, increasing the heat Of the latter 30
much that the earth would burn up.
i'rof. Proctor now predicts that col
llslon between the sun and q comet will
occur very soon, perhaps before Christ
mas. lie believes that the gront comet
which has been 30 brilliant during the
present month is identical with that OF
1868, lS43 and 1880, the time of calcula-
tion having been reduced from I75 years
to thirty.scven and then to less than
three. He regards the comet as 80 near
tue emu vi lis cnreer Ilut it's next and
last circulation will be accomplished in
aoout three months, hurling it against
the lace of the sun at the speed of EGO
miles per second. But, although Prof.
Proctor has heretofore declared that the
result of such a collision would probably
be fatal to the earth, he processes 20 have
discovered recent evidence that the sub-
stance of comets is 30 much less in mag.
hitude than was formerly believed that
no disastrous consequences to the sun or
to the earth are 10 be apprehended, how
ever much the comet may suffer from the
collision. Much heat may be generated,
and the approaching Winter may be
phenominally warm, but the end Of the
world is no; to be expected. Prof. Proc.
ioIn oIaciiinf uttcFaiico is iiiveTting, but
its chief value is the intination it gives
OF the ignorance of the best astronomers
as to the power and future movements of
comets. Prof Proctor has leaped from
one antipode to the other 90 readily in
his estimate of the effect of q collision
between the sun and comet that the
conclusion is irresistible that while his
opinion in tho matter IL interesting it
has no great value.-N y Mail and Er-

CALEB, which occurred at Cold Springs,
Mississippi, in about his 18th year. The
deceased had been resident of Galveston
for the past seven or eight years, and
during the greater portion Of that time was
a sufferer from bronchial troubles. In con-
junction with COLONEL JOHN w. SWIM

which at that time not responding
remuneratiyely to their expectations, he
left here for the former city. There, he
wrote freely for the press, and at one time
owned an interest in the Civilian. Suisse
