DR. LIKERNIK recommends soap
suds, made of any soap on hand, to
spread over burned surfaces. Their sc-
ton in relieving pain and reducing in
hammation Is due to the presence OF the
alkali, and they possess, he thinks, evil
dent advantages over powderinS with
bicarbonate of soda.

If a person should cat his dinner to-
dav ut II O'clock, tomorrow mt anil
the next day nj 3, aud continue i'll this
irregular manner Tor n couple Ut weeks,
his nervous system would be apt to be-
como entirely derauged, for the reason
that the individual has prevented this
natural tendency of the nerves to have a
fixed and periodic time to demand the
| food. and. Us a consequence fyom srch
iIregularity, indigestion is the result,
and, on account OF the intimate cOnnec-
ton of the nerves and the brain, very
serious and detrimental effect upon the
latter is produced, causing mental mac
tivity and loss OF IN mory. But, on the
other hand, if we should eat our Dime:
to-day at II, aud tomorrow and the next
day at the same hour, we will find that
this periodicity has been established, and
the little messengers, the nerves, Will
warn us exactly ut II that our regular
period has arrived. Ittherefore follows
that if we comply with that request
every day promptly we find good diges-
ton, quiet nerves, better memory and
more active mind to be the result.
Constellation Journal OF
Health thinks it doubtful If consump-
ton numbers as many victims as are
stricken down by the various diseases
that result from habitual constipation.
True consump ton is All inherited dis.
ease. It may remain always dormant,
but when aroused to action, decay COM
mences at q point circumscribed, and
gradually extends, unless arrested, until
so much of the lungs become involved
that vital action ceases. The evils OF
constipation result from inattention to
the calls of nature, and usually CON-
mence with children whose habits are
not closely looked to by their parents.
The processes of nature are always active
while life lasts. When effste matter is
retained moment beyond the time its
expulsion is demanded, the system COM
mences its efforts TO get rid OF it. When
the natural egress is checked, the absor-
bents carry the more.huid portions OF
the poisonous mass into the circulation,
and 1t becomes diffused throughout tho
body. The more-solid or clay-like por-
ton is forced into the lower recsum,
where it becomes firmly impacted, thus
cutting off the circulation OF the small
blood vess Is, causing painful engorge-
ments known As piles or hemorrhoiis.
A continuance OF the troubles often re-
suits in assure, tistula or cancer. Inc
trouble is seldom confined here. AS o
result Of the blood poisoning we invari-
ably find more or less dyspersia, with
decided arrangements Of the functions
OF the heart, liver and kidnevs accom-
