ture of benzoin. ''After cleaning the
decayed tooth, he says, ''I saturated
pledget of cotton lint with the tincture.
and packed it well into the cavity. hor-
ing this would suffice for the time, and
told her to come back in two or three
hours If she was not relieved. l was
turning away, when she sad it might
not be necessary, perhaps, as the pain
was already gone. Supposing her faith
had large share IN the relief, L would
not allow myself to think that the med
cine had anything to do with the cure
any more than so much hot water would
have had. But when L arrived at my
Office two other patients were awaiting
me with the same afiiictioD, and L dc.
ttermined, by way of experiment, to use
the same remedy. To my agreeable
surprise, both patience declared them
selves Immediately relieved, and begged
vial of the tincture for future use.
During the winter number of similar
cases applied, and were instantly re-
ieved, with the same treatment, all ex-
pressing much satisfaction with the
remedy. In December / told my drug
gist OF the discovery, and recommended
him to sell il to any person applying for

should remember that Denzoin is re-
sinous substance obtained from the

WooLEN II WINTER. $50 far as 1t is
possible it is good plan to discard all
woolen table spreads, and lambrequins
from the sleeping rooms, particularly
in winter; they catch the dust, and re-
tain 1t and cause great deal OF useless
labor besides being decidedly unwhole-
some. With the many beautiful fabrics
now TO he obtained, in linen and cotton,
there Is no need of room having
chilly and cherries look, If this sugges-
ton of using cotton or linen for wooden
is carried out. Very pretty table covers
are made of drab linen or cream colorsd;
they may be ornamented by etchlngs in
the corners, or may have a border all
the way roUsd, or pretty designs are
worked in scarlet, in outline stitch,
which will brighten the cover sufficiently.
The mantel lambrequins should match.
and the small amount Of care required
to keep them free from dust will be
appreciated by the occupant OF the room,
particularly if she does her own work.
A BED which ls not IN constant use
should never be kept ''made up"
When guest Is expected the room
should be thoroughly aired and warmed,
and the bed made up with freshly aired
light cotton or woolen bedding and an
extra blanket left within easy reach.
The bed should be placed 80 that the
morning light will not shine directly
into ones race upon awakening, or if
that is impossible, the window opposite
the bed should be closely curtained.
Everything necessary for a careful toilet
should be provided, especially a bath
tub and plenty of coarse towels. a
soft fur or wool rug upon which te
stand while dressing, and one or two
easy chairs are comforts which viii he

SATIN can be renovated in the same
way that velvet often is-that is, by
taking a hot iron, placing a hot iron
over If, and holding the satin in the
steam, the wrong side nearer the heat
Of course, when the satin Is worn of
this does no good, bnt when it Is crush
ed or wrinklcd the effect is surprisingly
good.
A SIDE dish, which viii be new to
many cooks, is made by slicing very
tim some onions and green tomatoes,
