Next to the sad duty of bearing the bodies
Of our dead to their long rest, is that OF
taking our loved living, when stricken with
disease, in search OF help which appears tho
moro hopeless tho nearer II is approached.
Yet whom Mr.. Nicholas Howell, OF
Waverly, Chemung Co., N. Y, left his
home some time since for New York, IL was
on such an errand. By his side was his
daughter, whose case had been abandoned
by the homo physicians as one of incura'
BILE disease of tho heart. When the train
reached Peekskill IL was clear that the al
most dying girl could not be carried mile
farther with safety. Emaciated In body,
shattered in nerve, and melancholy in mind
thepoor girl had lost interestin her own fato.
But who may know their fate-either for
good or evilf BY the earnest advice OF
friends in Peekskill, Mr.. Howell tenderly
conveyed his daughter to the office of Dr..
David Kennedy, in Rondout,N NY. DIR. Ken
nedy perceived that she was suffering from
heart disease, and also from an advanced
stage of complaint common to women.

THE rW1L1oHr SONG.

Passing by an humble dwelling
Hidden in the foliage deep,
There heard a mother singing
AS she rocked her babo tn slcop;
Soft aud low the notes were blended,
BY an unseen choir lod:
'H-u-s.h, my dear, li-o s-ti-ll and s-l.um-
b.e-r,
Holly a-n-g-o-l-s guard thy b-e-dw
Soft the cooling baby answered,
With the happy signs of love,
While adown tho moonbeams quiverod
Watchers from tho world above
But the mother sung unhoeding,
Lips pressed to tho downy heads
"H-u-s-h my d-c-a-r, lie still and s-l-u-m-
bc-r,
Holly angels guard thy b-c.dr'
when passed again Mt nightfall,
Closed ana dark tho easement there,
And above the humble threshold
Hung the black flag of despair.
But In music soft the mother
Sung beside her baby dead:
"H-u-s-b, my dear, l-i.o s.ti-il and s-lu-m-
b-e-r,
Holly angels GUARD thy be-di"
Soon my restless footsteps wandered
In a graveyard's TRANQUIL space,
There, in the dark garb of sorrow,
Saw i that familiar face
And tho tear-chokod voice was singing
BY grave with roses spread:
"H-us-h, my d-e-a-r, lilo s-tiil and s-l-um-
beer,
Holly a-n-g-e-l-s GUARD thy b-e-dl"
Yesterday walked In sadness
BY that home where grief had been,
But the mother voice was silent,
And in death her face sercne
Far away heard the whisper
OF song that Heavenward sped:
"H-us-h, my dear, lie s-ti-ll and s-l-u-m-
b-e-r,
Holly a-r.g els guard thy b-o.dr'

II Is q fact familiar to physicians that
the indiscrimlnate and excessive use Of
chlorate OF potash has caused number
of deaths; and tho public ought to
know that n remedy so universally used
may cause fatal results.
A girl fifteen. years of age was suf-
fcring from sore throat. The physician
instructed the mother to get five cents
worth OF chlorate potash, put 1t In four
ounces of water, and to gargle with q
teaspoonful every two hours. The in
structions were perverted to read: Take
a teaspoonful of the solid salt every two
hours. This was done, so that the
patient on one day took about six
hundred grains. Tho result was inilam-
nation OF the stomach, absorption Of
the potash into the blood, and death in
two days.
OF course this is an extreme case; the
quantity taken was excessive, and the
symptoms which preceded death were
those which always follow the ingestion
of strong poison. But we are to re-
member-and it is to this fact that
wish to draw attention-that chlorate
of potash in smaller doses. il used in too
concentrated form, may lead to dis
astrous results through its corrosive
quality.
In other words, this medicine should
not be administered in solid form ex-
cept by physician, and should not be
taken dd iibitun, in any form. Experi-
ence teaches that the concentrated or
solid form acts as corrosive poison on
all the animal tissues with which it
comes in contact; softening the coat
of the stomach and intes-
tines, or, if the quantity be excessive.
eating its way through the entire thick
ness of the coat of the stomach, and
perforating all the structures it meets
in its destructive march. On the other
hand, if the form administered be So
quantity ingested be too large, or the
use of the remedy be continued for an
indefinite length of time (on the suppo-
sition that it is a harmless medicine)
the result is the same as when any slow
poison is taken into the system.
We think this warning concerning
the indiscriminate use of this medicine
specially necessary when we consider
the extent of the use of chlorate of
potash lozenges, or tablets, by every
body for sore throat. In the form OF
compressed tablets the remedy is taken
in its most concentrated form, and
while the local action on the intlamed
throat may be beneficial, we would
caution against the wholesale use of
them; for the danger is from their
action upon the stomach and blood In
general terms, we would advise against
the taking of more than four or six
compressed tablets in twenty-four hours,
as these generally contain i've grains of
chlorate of potash each. The tablets
should be allowed to dissolve r,owly in
the mouth, as in this way we get the
maximum effect upon the diseased
throat from minimum dose, and run
the least danger from any injurious eff
feet upon the stomach or blood. Again,
the tablet should not remain in one
part of the mouth long time, but be
moved gently from side to side.
For ordinary purposes teaspoonful
of the crystals to a goblet of water
make strong enough solution to gar
gle with every two or three hours

Important Trade-Mark Injunction In
England.

A London telegram of May 9th says: "1n
the suit of the Charles A. Vogeler Com
pany, of Baltimore, against Parrot & Co.,
of this city, the Courtof Appeals has grant
ed the plaintiffs q perpetual injunction,
with costs. The action, which grew out
OF an alleged infringement Of plaintiffs
wellknown trademark, st. Jacobs Oil,
was originally heard in the High Court of
Justice where Vice Chancellor Bacon, with.
out going into the merits Of the case, con-
sidered it was one that should go before
the Comptroller of trade marks. From
this opinion the Vogeler Company ap-
pealed, claiming that they were being In
jured by tho goods of tho defendants, en-
titled st. David's Oil, being mistaken for
theirs, and that while they had taken steps
to bring a case before the Comptroller of
trademarks, months would elapse be-
fore decision could bo obtained,
and as their business would be seriously
injured by such delay, o restraining
order should be granted at once. The re-
suit Of the appeal was that a perpetual in
junction was made, with costs. The pro-
ceedings before the Comptroller have
been abandoned by the defendants, and
the Baltimore house has thus achieved a
double victory. By the order CT tho
Court of Appeal, Parrott &c Co. and their
agents are perpetually restrained from
using the term st. David's Oil, or any
similar term, as we'll as the words The
Great German Remedy and any words
or marks similar to those used by the
Vogeler Company in connection with their

that plaintiffs had sold during tho
past few years over seven million
bottles of st. Jacobs Oil, and ex-
pended as high as five hundred
thousand dollars in single year for ad
vertising throughout the world. Their
success in this suit is regarded with great
satisfaction in business circles. Eminen,

Origin Of snnr.TakIng.

II appears that the taking of tobacco
in the form of snuff was discovered
among the savage natives Of this conti-
nent upon the second visit of Columbus
to America, in 1894. A Roman friar,
named Pane, who accompanied the ex-
pedition, thus describes the custom as
1t then existed among the Indians:
"After reducing the leaves to fine
powder, they takeit through a acane half
n cubit long; one end of this they place
in the nose, and tho other upon the
powder, and so draw it up, which
purgcs them much"
The purging referred to evidently
describes the violent sneezing which re-
suited from the inhalation of the
powdered poison. 1.-THE sailors thought
that tho smoking savages appeared
''like DEVILS" they certainly must have
been ready to compare party of sneez-
ing Indians to group of lunatics.
How so filthy, unnatural and eminently
disgusting habit could have ever been
cultivated by rational beings is most
profound mystery. Golden Rule.
