A sIMrLE and safe means for the
relief of cracked nipple is to powder it
repeatedly with rulverized gum arab C.
| Immediately after the child has sucked,
the powder should be busted over the

To RELIEVE n severe cold, nothing is
better than molasses. butter and vim

A BALTIMORE druggist OF e:p,ri nee
and ample opportunity Tor observation.
his advanced tue id o that Bright's
disease is attributable to the immoder-
ate use of ice-water and cold drinks.
He cites the fact t,at the people Of this
country Use 30 per cent. more ice in
their drinks than the people Of any
other country, Greenlanders not ex-
cept d. We have as per cent. more of
Bright disease. He cites the fac. that
the wIIe-drinklng countries Of Europe
com arative,y free from the malady.
Travellers Lave observed and comment
ed upon the prejudice which seems to
exist against ice-water and iced drinks
in all countries outside the United
States. The Englishman and the
German fairly shun ice, though placed
in easy reach of boundless quantities of
it; aud the Frenchman who sips the
light wines would as soon think OF TAX
ing au emetic as Of chilling his stomach
with an icel-dra rght. Our drug friend
points to the fact that Bright's disc Sc
has kept pace in this country with the
increased consumption of ice, and
claim, that before ice became common
hou ehuld necessity the malady was
scarcely known among physicians.
There may be something in this theory.

CAREFUL and apparently unpre-
JUDGED investigation by committee Of
medical men has shown tn It the free
u of alcoholic beverages causes four
fold increase in death from diseases Of
the liver; two-fold increase from kid
ney diseases; o marked increase in
deaths by pneumonia aud pleurisy. and
o. diseases of the brain and spinal cord !;
but q decrease in mortality by bron-
cbitis, asthma, consumption and lung
congestion. Then there are also deaths
directly attributable to drunkenness or
chron alcoholism and resulting from
accidents during drunkenness.-Dr.
