ton. Ii is a native Of Europe 1t flow
ers from June 20 December, and it has

ton Is tonis when taken cold. A

lent In smallpox, measles, and scarlet
lever, and may be used with advantage
IN all cases of colds. 1t is also good for

the seeds or beans of large rank herb,
known most commonly as the castor
bean In this country it grows from five
to eight feet higa, while in some coun-
tries 1T is said 70 attain to thirty feet
nigh. 1t IS native Of India, but is ex-

around the neck as warm as it can be
borne, protecting the bed with dry cloths.
If the breathing is not easier, and tho

hours, mix half n teaspoonful each of
powdered alum and ipccac in half a
glass of tepid water and give it. If it
does not vomit IN ten minutes repeat
the dose with teacup of warm water
every five minutes until there is free
vomiting. If the bowels are constipated

Recapitulation When child under
seven years of age presents symptoms of

water around the neck. If no decided
improvement in three or four hours, give
an emetic of half a teaspoonful each of
alum and ipecae in half glass of tepid
water, repeating every ten minutes if
necessary, until free vomiting is pro-
duced Every mother should keep on
