Curing q Cold in tho Head,

The commonost type of cold is that
called "cold in tho head,h to distin-
guish it from "cold on the chest" This
'cold in tho head" has certain we'll
marked symptoms--a feeling of gencr-
al matatSc is experienced, often ac-
companicdb by slight fcvcrish sickness.
Then comes a sensation of fulness in
the head, there is sncczng, profuse
How of tears, an irritating and copious
discharge from the nose This means
that the mucous membrane of tho nose
is intlamed, and if this spreads down
the back of the throat, the sufferer be-
comes hoarso. The best way to treat
this troublesome complaintis is to take q
mot drink" An orange sliced and
put into large cup with a little sugar
sprlnkled ovor it, and boiling water
poured upon it, and then drunk as hot
as possible, is both pleasant and bcne-
hclal. The feet should be put into hot
water, with or without q little mustard.
Tho foot-bath should be taken at the
bedside; the patient should bo well
wrapped up, and u blanket placed
across his knees should be drawn out
side the bath, SO as to confino the
steam. After keeping tho feet in the
water for from five to ten minutes, the
patient should lose no time in getting
into bed, whcro he will probably derive
great benefit from tho general feeling
of warmth, and from the flow of per-
spiration which has been induced. If
possible, at this stage, the patient
should remain in bed for two days,
with q fire in his room, which should
be we'll made up at night, SO rs to keep
allght till morning. But keeping in
bed will do little good if the patient
persists in holding 4 newspaper or n
book to read, for thereby he is moro
dangerously exposed TO the cold than if
he were up, dressed and going about as
usual. The main point is to keep
thoroughly wrapped up and constantly
warm. Even an uncomfortable de-
gree Of heat may be beneficial.
a small piece of camphor chcwcd
and sucked, is very good. SO is the
inhalation of sulphur0us acid gas-a
remedy which was found to be in con-
slant use by the wcavcrs of Kircaldy,
who had it among the materials of their
work. Buy two ounces of suphurous
acid (dilutc) from u chemist, and then
take out the cork and inhalc- through
tho nostrils only, OF course-tho pun
gent gas which is given of. Some uso
Terriers snuff, and find benefit there
from; but 1t must DC used cautiously,
as it contains Il powerful drug--to-wit:
mOrph:a. Ten or twelve grains of
Dovcr's powder taken in cruel at bed
timo is good for IN adult, but should
not be administered TO children, as it
contains opium, which should never be
given to them without doctors pre-
scrlption. 10 avoid an unpleasant
cXcoriation of the nose and uppcr liD
during the course of cold in the head,
they should be often washed thoroughly
with soap and lukcwarm water, and Il
little vasaline should he applied. If the
throat feels soro, q chloratc of potash
lozengc should be sucked occasionally.

Professional Dignity.

Doctors are fond Of talking about the
dignity OF the profession, and do their
best to uphold it. An cminent London
physician once told me- in convcrsa-
ton, that he makes a pont Of mover
thanking his patients for his fee whom
he takes it, but simply pockets it as
matter OF course as his due Iprosume
he would similarly disdain to ask for it
should the pationt depart without Of
fering to pay. They sometimes do
this. A friend of tho writer, who was
once treated thus by lady richly at
tired, stopped her just as she was max
ing her exit, and in the blandest of
terms begged to be allowed to look at
the prescription again for moment.
lie looked at it for 'cw seconds, and
then, tearing it across, throw it into
the fire. Ladies' in silks and satins,"
he said, ''cafl generally afford to pay,"
and calmly rang his bell for his servant
to ushor in the next patient.
| Doctors occasionally get the worst of
IT, though, when they stand too much
on their dignity with patients. A local
| practitioner in country town was ono
day sent for to visit child in tho fam
ny OF one of his patients. On arrival
he found his little patient had been all

said the mother, 1--WE have been giving

patent medicine prepared by yeteri-
nary surgeon we'll known in the coun-
try, and bottle of which she had OBJ
tanned at tho chemists. "Whatm OK
claimed the doctor, "expect mo to at
tend after horse doctor?" and he
marched off in great indignation. The
father OF tho child was baker, and
supplied the doctors family with broad.
Next day no bread was delivered at
the doctors house. Tho DOCTORS syife
put on her bonnet and shawl and went
out to call on the bakor respecting the
omission. On entering the shop sho
saw the bakers bcttcr-half, and polite
Jy intimated that she had called to saw
that no bread had been left as usual,
and she would bo glad to have some
sont. "Oh, no" was the reply, "your
husband won't attend us as n doctor, so
we sha mt supply him with bread" and
they didn't. The doctor was forced to
deal with another and inferior baker,
as similarly the baker had on the prcyi-
Gus day been forced to sond for another
doctor.
