THE HOUSEHOLD DOCTOR.
The Best Time for Administering Medi-
cines.


Before or after meals? SUCH is the ques-
ton often asked of the doctor, but the an
swer is not always ready. The Midland
Hedjc0j Miscellany answers it as follows;
Medicines that are irritating should be
given after meals, when the stomach is
fun, viz, the salts Of copper, zinc, iron
and arsenic in large doses. Small doses,
intended to act on the stomach terminals
OF the tagi, must be given when the organ
is empty. Chemical reasons also have
their influence. thus, oxide and nitrate or
silver, intended for local action, should
appear in the stomach during its period
of inactivity, lest, at other times, cbeml-
cal reactions destroy the special attrl-
butes for which these remedies are pre-
scribed. Iodine and the Iodides further
illustrate this point. Given on an empty
stomach they promptly difuse into the
blood, but if digestion is going on the ac-
Ids and starch form products Of inferior
activity, and thus the purpose which
they are intended to subserye is defeated
Substances prescribed to have alvlne ac
ton on the mucous membrane, or Tor
prompt diffusion unatered, are preferably
given before meals. The condition OF the
stomach VEINS after meals is such as
10 lessen the activity Of diffusion
Of poisons and binders their passage
through the liver. 1t follows that ac-
tive medicaments In doses near the dan
ger-line are more safely administered al
ter meals
When shall acids and alEalies be given,
before or after meals? First, as to acids.
When acids are prescribed with the view
to check the excessive formation OF the
acids Of the gastric juice they may be
given before meals-as, by the laws Of os-
mOsis, they will determine the glandular
flow Of the alkaline constituents OF the
blood. The same reasoning would hold
good if the alkaline condition OF the blood
is in excess; OsmOsis being favored, the
acid would reach the blood the more read
lily. Second, as to alkalies. These may
be given just before meals, when the acid
forming materials in the blood dfiuse in
10 the stomach glands, and after diges-
tion is completed, when the alkalies diff
fuse directly into the blood, without in
reference from the contents Of the stom-
ach. An alkai taken during the time
when the reaction Of the stomach juices
should be strongly acid must necessarily
hinder, II not arrest, the digestive process
for the time being. The metallic salts
notably corrosive sublimate, alcohol, tan
min and some other agents-impair or de-
5troy the ferment, or digestive power,
pepsin. Wine that is intended to act as
food is most beneficial when taken slowly
during the course Of the meal. The OBJ
lection as regards the ill-etfect Of alcohol
on pepsiE is not applicable here except to
the stronger spIrituous wines in large
quantities, for the ordinary medicinal
wines do not have sufficient alcoholic
strength to injure this ferment. Iron,
phospbates, cod liver oil, malt and SIM
liar agents should, as a rule, 60 with food
through the digestive process, and with
tho products Of digestLon enter the blood.

sOBs IN A MINT.
Affecting Scene over the Recovery OF
Stolen Gold at the Philadelphia Mint.


From tho Ne,o York World.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA great deal
Of mystery has been thrown around the
recent loss and recovery in the mint of an
unknown quantity OF gold. The facts are
these: Some time ago, while half eagles
were being coined, about $40 worth disap-
peared during some stage of the process.
A little more than a week ago, while eagles
were being coined, 500 worth more dis
appeared, leaving no trace behind. Super
lntendent Fox was greatly agitated. twas
at length ascertaIned to certainty that
the missing gold had found wings some
where in the adjusting department. This
Is a large room, containing eightY-eight
delicate scales, upon which as many girls
weigh each individual piece which Is not
yet coined but only cut. The pieces are
given out TO them in Irregular lots, so that
1t is not known how many each young
woman has in her possession at once
The discovery that the loss occurred in
this department was not supposed to be
known TO any of these girls. On the day
after the locality OF the loss had been
fixed one Of the young women, who had
been to the toilet room, ran breathlessly
to the foreman.
"There's a bundle in there" she said.
"Why didn't you bring it out?" was the
query.
"Pm afraid to. | believe it's that gold. -
Then the torewOman looked at the bundle.
She, too, was afraid to touch it, and sent
for the chief cOiner. that functi0nary
opened the bundle and found wrapped in
rags ten pieces worth SO each and eight
worth IS each. He reported the dis
covery to superintendent Fox, and that
diRnified officer FASTENED at once to the
adjusting department, where he made an
affecting speech. After rubbing his
eyeglasses and clearing his throat,
the superintendent remarked that if
these things continued to happen
he should be forced to resign.
An awe-struck silence greeted this awful
/ thrust, and some Of the prettier girls shed
| Tears as the superintendent related his
suherings. He should be sorry to know
that there was a thief in the Mint, but il
| certainly looked as though there was. He
| counselled industry, caution and honesty
and finished his speech amid chorus Of
/ 81 sobs from as many pretty young
women. Since then the gold has been
weighed az frequent intervals in the pro-
| cess of manufacture, but no more has been
missed. suspicion as yet attaches TO no
! individual in connection with the matter

THE RIVER ROAD EXTENSION.

Tie Project Not Abandoned by Any Means
us Stated.
A gentleman connected with the Ohio
River road assures an ISrEL1IGENcER re-
porter that there is no truth in the report
recently published that that comp my has
abandoned its project OF extending its line
to Point Pleasant. He says that in the
first place there has never been a meeting
OF the syndicate, and consequently the re.
port as printed could not be true. Engi-
neer Pickenger is now on the line OF the
proposed extension, looking after the right
OF way, and will make his report in few
days. The gentlemen continued:
"The engineers employed in the office
were making estimates Of the cost OF the
extension, ETC., aud when the work for
which they were employed was completed
they were discharged. There has been no
reduction in our train force for some timo
past. We have air brakes on all our pas
senger trains, and. never had but one
brakeman on trains OF this class. We
have two brakemen on all freight trains.
We never had more except last summer,
when an extra man was carried to handle
freight, not to manage the train. Our
track men have not been discharged, but
owing to the severe weather and the
ground being frozen so deep 1t Is impossi-
bic for the men to do anything with pick
and shovel. The construction train was
on till the Goth, when all the work for it
TO do was done. The track isingood con-
dition, and the company has sufficient
