Lime Juice in the Treatment of
Diphtheria.

NJ. Czartoryski, M. D., of Stockton,
California, writes as follows to the
London Lancet
During a prolonged residence in the
interior of China, l became acquainted
with the fact that the Chinese place
great reliance during epidemics of diph-
liberia on the internal use of the fresh
juice of lines, and of the fruit itself,
which they consume in enormous guam
titles, in every conceivable form-as
lemonade, with native spirits, cut in
slices, etc.-during attacks of this
dreadful disease, with apparently most
successful results, it hardly yer failing
to effect a cure. The Chinese consider
it a specific, and will, in case of need,
do anything to obtain a supply.
Since | have come back to California,
as also in Louisiana, | have used lines
and their juices in my practice as a
physician with most successful results in
cases of diphtheria, event in the most DIES
perate cases. As soon as | take charge
of a case of diphtheria, l order lines to
be administered as freely as posi- BILE, in
any manner the patient can be prevailed
upon to take them, especially in the
form of hot lemonade, sweetened with
white sugar or honey, or gu. in slices
with powdered white sugar. Besides lime
juice (which suppose acts by imparting
an KEGS of oxygen to the circulation,
and thereby prevents formation of
vibriones, ETC., and SO has almost a
effect on disease). l prescribe
whatever drug may be indicated to re-
lieve symptoms as they develop, and
impart strength by appropriate stimu-
and n~ourishment.

The Japanese Horror of Fire.

AS the hour approaches for the light
ing of lamps in the evening at Yoko-
hama the sound of the fire patrol is
heard and all the night long the streets
are perambulated by these warning
guardians, who beat two hand-sticks or
clappers together with the regularity of
clockwork, giving forth a sharp ringing
sound that there is no installing, and
they also have a regular noteo 4 warning
which they cry out at regular intervals
of time, so that the necessity for pre-
caution is present to the mind OF all the
dweilers in the city throughout the
hours of darkness, whether they will or
no. The i~ncendiary is the most de-
PRAYED of criminals in the estimation of
the people, and none others were so
fearfuIly punished in the past. AT
present death is the penalty melted to
one who commits arson.

point Of view. Two sorts of persons
IN the community alone are benefited by
1t the shoemaker because when half
Of the foot, more or less, has no sole
under 1t at all and nothing between it
and the ground but some thin kid, a
pair of boots cannot be expected to
wear very long-and the chiropodists,
because when five toes are cramped into
a space that could accommodate barely
one toe properly, enlargement of the
joints, corns, hard and soft, ingrowing
nails, b%unions, and a variety of other
such poetic affections are the inevitable
and the never-failing result. High heels
will not deform the foot, provided the
boot is the proper shape across the sole
and has a good, broad sole.
They may or may not be Injurious to
the general health but with that phase
of the question we have nothing to do
here. A proof Of what we maintain is
that French women wear high heels
much more than American women do,
and yet never have half so much trou-
bic with their feet. French shoemaEers
a make broad tees and soles to their
boots, and do SO. To get an American
shoemaker to do the same may be Sc
down as of the hopeless things.
They can't, or they won't at any rate,
they don't. The only way to bring
them to reason woald be for sensible
women to insist, in a body, upon hay
ing their boots made the proper width,
and to decline to accept anything else.
This oil bunions, sooner or later; there
is no alternative.
The profusion of flowers on bonnets
grows every day larger, and will have
attained most abundant proportions by
the time watering-places begin to ill sp
and large broad trimmed straws are in
order. At present, for a small bonnet
to be worn during the spring in town,
or for a poke intended for the same
purpose, not so many flowers are need
ed. The bonnets have in some instances
a big flower pompon, il Instead of a bunch
of blossoms. These pompons are made
OF a short full spray of some fine small
flower, white lilacs for example, which
spray has the the two ends turned
under, forming a sort of ball of the
| delicate blossoms. This is rather novel,
but it has no 'raison d'etre," and is
| consequently not artistic .-Phila. Post.
