1t is surprising how everybody rushes at
fainting person, and strives to raise him, and
especially to keep his head erect. There
must be an instructive apprehension that if
person seized with fainting or other fit fall
into the recumbent position, death is more
imminent. I must have driven mile to-day
while a lady fainting was held upright l
found her pulseless, white, and apparently
diving, and believe that if 1 had delayed ten
minutes longer she would really have died.
laid her head down on lower level than
her body, and Immediately color returned to
her cheeks, and she became conscious. 70
the excited group of friends | said: Always
remember this fact, namely: fainting is
caused by want of blood in the brain; the
heart ceases to act with sufficient force to
send the usual amount of blood to the brain,
and hence the person loses consciousness be-
cause the function of the brain ceases. Re-
store the blood to the brain, and instantly the
person RECEIVERS Now. though the blood is
propelled to all parts of the body by the
action of the heart, yet it is still under the
influence of the laws of gravitation. In the
erect position the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to the
brain is diminished, as compared with the
recumbent position, the hearts pulsation
being equal. If, then, you place person
sitting whose heart has nearly ceased to beat,
his brain will fail to receive blood, while if
YOU lay him down, with the head lower than
the heart, blood will run into the brain by
the mere force of gravity, and in fainting, in
sufficient quantity to restore consciousness
Indeed, nature teaches us how to manage the
fainting persons, for they always fall, and
frequently are at once restored by the recum-
bent position into which they are thrown.

As election time draws near, the people be-
come more interested, if possible, in the subject
of temperance. The weekly Reform Club
meetings are more largely attended, and all
manifest great anxiety that the right course be
pursued to obtain the great end, namely: a
temperance council. The enemy, of course, is
at work. but how many supporters he yet has,
remains to be seen.

meetings Sunday evening, March 10th, in the

closed the series the following Sunday after
noon by an address to the Reform Club in the
reading-room. The hall was filled, and the
majors remarks which were based upon per-
sonal experience, were thrilling and conclusive,
and were declared by some of the most promi-
nent workers to be the best address ever given
in the reading-room. and it has been the scene
of many royal feast.

In the month of February, Major Scott spent
four nights in this town. His addresses were
mastery efforts, containing the most pungent
utterances, unanswerabe arguments, stirring
facts, and thrilling sentiments. He made a
deep impression on the minds of all his hearers.
Mrs. Scott organized Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. Mrs. James D. Torton, who is
president of the Union, is actively engaged in
keeping the subject before the people. Every
Saturday evening public meeting is held in
one of our churches. Many of our young people
are helpers in this work. Mrs. Rev. Ella Parks
