THE HOUSEHOLD.

not special enough 10 D0 applied by
each man to his own case When a
man catches cold he thinks it is a
slight matter which will soon pass
over, and very likely takes no extra
ordinary precautions against it's
further progress. A conspicuous in
stance of this carelessness was the
case of Governor Jewell. He was a
man of robust frame, and apparently
good for twenty five years more of
life The particulars are briefly these:
He was taken with chill on Febru-
ary 2 while in this city. He imme-
diately went home and was threatened
with pneumonia.
BY the following Tuesday he felt
so much better that he got up On
Tuesday evening he moved from an
uncomfortably warm room into a
cooler one. This brought on a chill
and sent him to bed again. On Thurs
day he was again up, took bath and
sat for several hours in his dressing
gown. That night his symptoms
were alarming, and he died on Satur
day night.
The history of this case is the his
tory of scores Of others which do not
find their way into print, and is like
ly to be the history of hundreds more
before next summer. People will not
seem to learp by anything but dread
experience, the necessity of constant
care, and the applicability OF the old
adage about an ounce of prevention.
A cold, at this season of the year, is
something that ought to be attended
to Immediately on its appearance,
and special care should be taken
against exposure for some days after
the apparent cure. Relapses are apt
to be much worse than the original
disease. We hope there may be a
few people to whom the experience
of others is of some USE N. Y. Mail

A GRAPE CURE IN AMERIcA.-One of
the benefcent institutions of the Old
World is to be introduced into our
country. No less than the grape
cure. And where could this be stu
ated more suitably than in Ham
mondsport, N. Y, the village of vine
yardss Foreign travellers tell us OF
the grape cures of Germany, and how
every year, as the vintage time ar
rives, the dwellers in the regions
whore the grape is not grown, come
focking to the cures, remaining dur
ing the grape season, going home re-
freshed and invigorated for the labors
of another year. Hammondsport is
to be, from the first of September
through the fall and winter. to all in
tents and purposes, grape c1ie.
There will still be found the fish
ing, boating and delightful drives,
and in addition to these attractions,
is that of the grapes. First, during
the latter end of August. comes the
delicious and delicate Delaware and
the succuleDt, luscious Concord, then
in quick succession ripen the other
varieties, many ofwhich remain upon
the vines until late in the fall, the
more durable kinds being preserved
in their freshness by process prac
ticed nowhere except upon Lake Keu-
ka. An inquirer asked French gen
tleman of culture. who had spent
many years in Germany, for what
disease the grape cure was thought
most beneficial. He replied for all.
especially those of the liver and stom-
ach, and acting, as it does, upon these
organs. the body is refreshed, the
brain made clear an healthy tone
to the system generally the result.
CURE FOR RHEUM MAIIsM-A gentle
man of West Newton is confident
that he knows of a certain cure for
rheumatism. A few years ago he was
severely afflicted by the disease. which
affected his whole system, and finally
settled in the sciatic nerve. He suf.
fered intensely, often being deprived
of sleep. He tried many remedies
without avail, till finally a physician
prescribed gum guiaccum and sui
phur mixed in equal parts, to be taken
in small doses three times day. he
found that one dose was all that he
could bear, and took it at night. AT
the end of ten days he was entirely
relieved of his rheumatism. He has
since had touches Of the complaint,
but the above remedy always proves
efficacious. He thinks he has recon-
mended it to at least two hundred
sufferers from rheumatism, and IN
every case it affected a cure except
one. and in that instance the person
continued the use of intoxicating
drinks; yet he was benefited. A
plenty of exercise in the open air
should accompany the use OF the pre-
scription.- Boston Journal.
BOILED HAM.-To boil ham, ssrape
and wash carefully in plenty of cold
water. PUTT to cook in boiling water
enough to cover it entirely, hook end
up; let it remain on the front OF the
steve till the ham begins to boil then
put it back, and let it simmer steadily
Tor three hours. Take it off the fire,
and let the ham remain in the water

handle; then skin it, put in baking
pan and sprinkle with about three
ounces of brown sugar; run your pan
| into a hot oven and let it remain a
half hour, or until the sugar has
formed a brown crust This not only
improves the flavor OF the ham, but
preserves its juices.
