Remedies for Headache.

The following recipes and sugges.
tions for the treatment of different
forms of headache are collected from a
variety of trustworthy sources: Two
grains citrate of caffeine, IN capsule,
taken every half hour, is very effec-
tual remedy in nervous and sick head
ache. One or two doses are often suf-
ficient TO give complete relief The
only obj ction TO its use is sleepless-
ness, which sometimes results il it is
taken in the evening. 1t is probable
to euarana, as being hardly ever re-
jected by the stomach. The following
according to Dr.. w. w. Carpenter, is
very effeciual in most forms of head
ache; Mnriate of ammonia, three
drachms; acelale of morphia, one grain;
citrate of caffeine, thirty grains, aro-
matte spirits of ammonia, one drachm |;
elixir Of guarana, four ounces rose
water, four ounces. Mix Dessert.
spoonful every ten or twelve minutes.
In nervous headache, DR.. w. A. Ham
moDd states the value of various drugs
as follows Oxide of zinc is of great
value. Ordinary dose, two grains,
three times day, after meals maxi
mum dose, five grains. 1t is best given
in form of pills. Nux vomica is pre-
ferabe to strychnia The dose is one
quarter grain, after meals. If the
patient be chlorolic it is well to com
bine grain of reduced iron aud half a
grain of sulphate of quinine. Bis
muth, in the form of subcarbonate,
will often take the place of oxide of
zino. Dose, two grains, after each
meal Bismuth probably aids diges-
ton more than any mineral tonic, and
is OF use when there is gastric distur-
bance. The bromines are serviceable
when the nervous system has been ir-
ritated when it is exhausted, they do
harm. Phosphorus is very useful in
most forms of nervous headache. The
best results are obtained from dilute
phosphoric acid, in doses of thirty
drops, largely diluted, three times a
day, after eating, or phosphide of zinc,
O.lO grain, in pill, three times day.
Arsenic as nerve tonic, stands next
in value to zinc. Dose, five drops OF
Fowler's solution, three times day,
after meals Galvanism is sometimes
valuable, but by no means specific.

Labor North and South,

General John b. Gordon (who sue
ceeded to the command Of "Stonewalp
Jackson upon the latttrs dtath,) gave
this interesting talk on the relative
condition of labor North and South, a
few days ago 81 have no hesitation
in saying, sir, that the colored man to-
day in the South is, take it all in all,
much better paid for his labor and
much better fed and housed than the
laboring man in any part of the
world. Colored labor i chiefly on the
cotton plantations "A laborer gets on
an average SO month, and his hours
OF labor are at no season of the year
excessive. Now $40 month does not
look like a very large sum up here,
but see what it means IL means, IL
the laborer cares to lold it clean. net
profit to his credit. And | may be
permitted to say that our people de-
serve great praise for that system
which produces this result. You see,
the land is divided up in this way
First of all there are the laud owners,
who let it on lease or work the land Mt
their pleasure. Then there are those
who lease the land and work it---eilher
by regular payments to the laborers of
a given sum or by a stipulated share
in the crop. Thus the laborers are at
liberty either to draw their money
from month to month or to leave their
wages stand, take its worth in cotton
al the end of the season, and sell on
their own account, or they may take
part money and part cotton. Mean.
while they, with the families, live on
the plantation rent free. They have
their house and their patch, where
they may cultivate enough corn, veg
etables, potatoes and fruits to supply
the family during the year They have
firing free. They can rear their chick
ems or their pigs. They have cow to
give them milk, and il not they have
their milk free from the cattle of the
owner or lessee. Moreover, they have
their rations free--of bacon, bread,
molasses or whatever it may be--and
their money from month to month or
at the end of a season, rs | have said.
They have a magnificent climate,
which is just adapted to them. Thei'
clothing is cheap and they need little
OF it. Compare the condition of the
laborer up here who receives his $50
$40 or even $50 month with that of
the negro laborer on the plantation.
What with rent and clothing, food
and fuel, it is much harder for the
laborer here to save money, while he
does not live nearly as well as the man
on the plantation and l say again, our
people deserve great praise for the
system which SO arranges labor as to
produce this condition of things
