BEST REMEDY FOR CRAMP.-A writer
IN the British Medical Journal says: '.rhe
best remedy for cramp-ths simplest and
the most eficacicus that / know of-is
a band of cork 1t is easily made by cut
ting small new wine cork into thin
slices, which must be sewn close together
upon a ribbon or tape an inch wide. It

TURPENr1NE FOR INFECTIOUS DIs-
EAsEs.-The MsdicaI Record tells u that
Fl. vilandt writes concerning the value
of the oil of turpentine in the treatment
and prophylaxis of diphtheria and the ex-
anthematous diseases. He states that
he has never seen any of these diseases
spread from sick child to other mem
bers of the family when this remedy was
employed. In many of his cases no iso
lation could be attempted, as the mother
was the only female in the family, anF
was obliged to take care of both the sick
and the well, continually passing back
and forth from one to the other His
method was to pour from twenty to forty
drops Of a mixture Of equals parts of tur-
pentine and carbolic acid into kettle Of
water, which was kept simmering over q
slow fire. 90 that the air Of the sick room
was kept constantly impregnated with
the oder of these two substances. He
claims, also, that by this means favon
able influence is exerted upon the exuda-
ton in diphtheria, although it by no
means curative to the disease, and should
never be relied upon to the exclusion Of
other remedies.
