The Scarlet Fever.
From Good Health.

From Cool Health.
1t is as unnecessary for child to die
If the scarlet fever as it is that it should
be blind with cataract. Let us see: At
my time before the body has finished
it's Intellectual struggle we are able to help
il, not by wonderful medicines, but by
the knowledge ofanatomy ard the appl-
cation of common sense. We consult
the sympathetic nerve, and do what it
commands us to do. We must give the
'hild salt when it wants it; we must give
It acid when it has fever and anxiously
Graves it-not vinegar, but lemon juice,
rs the first coagulates albumen, and the
latter does not, on account of the sur
plus of oxygen which it contains. To
initiate the soothing mucous in the in
testines, which is now wanting, and to
give some respiratory food at the same
time, we add some gum-arabic. To re-
store and relieve tbs, injured nerve, we
apply moist warmth.
In practice we can fulfill all this with
the following simple manipulations:
Undress the child and bring it to bed at
the very first sign of sickness. Give it,
it it has already fever, nothing but sour
ish warm lemonade with some gum-ara-
bic in it. Then cover its abdomen with
some dry flannel. Take a we'll folded
bed-sheetan putt in boiling hot water
wiring it dry by means of dry towels, and
put this over the flannel on the child's
abdomen. Then cover the whole and
wait. the hot clothes will perhaps re-
quire repeated heat. According to the
severity of the case, and its stages of
progress, perspiration will commence in
the child from ten minutes to two hours
The child then is saved; it soon fails to
sleep. Soon after the child awakes
it shows slight symptoms of re-
turning inclination for food; help
its bowels, if necessary, with injections
Of oil, soap, and water, and it's recovery
will be as steady as the growth Of a
Ereen-house plant, if well treated. OF
course, if the child was already dying,
nothing could save it, or if it has already
illusions in the lining of the heart or
brain it is much better that should die.
But if the above is applied in due time,
under the eyes and direction of com
petent physician, [ will guarantee that
not one in a hundred children will ever
lie of scarlet fever. know this will
1tartle some of my readers, especially
those who have lost children already,
but [ shall 60 still further l maintain
That child will never get scarlet fever
If properly treated. fla child has cor
rectly mixed blood, it will not catch the
disorder if put in bed with sick lid.
This is still more startling, but nothing is
easier proof.

ELI PERKINS stayed a week at a
Buffalo hotel recently. When he was
given a statement Of his bill he said
there must be some mistake. He had
not bought the establishment and didn't
want to buy it, because he didn't know
how to run hotel. These remarks of
Mr.. Perkins offended the proprietor Of
the hotel and he knocked Eli down and
walked on him for exercise. This
ought to be a lesson to Eli and other
humorists not to joke hotel keeper
about his charges before his face. The
safest way to joke with a hotel keeper
about your bill is to lower your valise
from the window and go off when the
hotel keeper isn't looking. He will
readily see the point Of this joke, but
perhaps you had better get out Of the
town before it breaks out before his
vision in all its beauty and effulgence.

JOHN HALL, an enterpTising potted-

sentenced to a months imprisonment
for having twenty-six cans Of boiled

the demand for potted meats is increas-

believe that the world is yet prepared
