 WaooPrHG CoUGH.-We have received from an estimabis gentleman, who has trIei it successfully with two of his children who had whCoping cough very iisCiY, 2 recipe recommended by lady
 
 lis own children they were relieved of tne'r troublesome companion complete. " n nine days, and, since 1t can do no harm, mothers may try the remedy with lDpunlty, The following is the recipe Five toaspOOnfCls tiIcture asafetida, Eve teaspoonfuls sweet oil, twelve tea :pooaiQ!s table sirup; should be ad. ii'inistored in doses of one teaspoonful -s3th, taree or four times day.
 TREATMENT OF BURNs.-The hest ap- .;'.aion for burn Is Gniment made me-water and oil, beaten together gitil 1t looks like butter melted to dress vegetables for the table. It matters not ~lI, tler common lime or the chloride of l.nle Is used, and either sweet or Inseed oil will answer. Wrap the burned part tn fine linen covered with this mixture, aud cover thickly on the outside with raw cotton to exclude the air. Open it but once in twenty-four hours, and then carefully soap of the rag with lin e. water and oil, so as not to iuiure the tender skin that may be forming on the wound. Bathe well with the iniment, snd put on a clean dressing of rags wet with the liniment, and cover with cotton IS at first. Where lime cannot be had, tue ne1t-best dressing we know of is svot mixed with lard, we'll melted and ttra,ned to get out the particles of soot. 1n this case you may first use strong alum water to assuage the pain. and then put on plaster of the above. In any case, over the rags put raw cotton, to exclude the air and keep the part xon being rubbed.
 THE WANT OF THE LUNGS. the ordinary lungs of an adult may hold about six quarts, it does not follow that each breath contains that amount, but about one pint. This arrangement im- plies the constant action of the air in purifcation of the blood, the primary object of breathing. Each contraction Ot the heart forces two or three ounces of blood to the lungs for the purpose, the refuse, after the combustion of the waste, being in part carbonic gas, a deadly poison to the lungs but safe for the stomach. By estimate the amount absolutely needed that the blood may be we'll purified is from seven to ten ten cubic feet each minute for an adult. And since this gas is heavier than air and is diffusial, 1t is needful to have open doors that it may pass into the cellar, like water, there to be absorbed by tub of water and the like. Do we secure this supply in all of our sleeping rooms? An estimate of the capacity Of such a room divided by 4,000 cubic feet, or the amount needed by an adult for the night, will determine the matter. If two occupy the room, 5000 is the ,iivi4or. How large a room will hold 5000 cubic feet? Not less than one twenty feet in its dimensions.-Dr. L T. L{ancford.
