From The Youths Companion.

The internal use of hot water in vari-
Gus ailments, but especially in dyspepsia
is exciting q good deal of interest, both
among the people and among physicians
We are personally acquainted with cases
of signal cure by it, where the iniivid.
nails had long suffered without help
from other remedies. Most of on. me-
ical journals. including the London
Lancet, have had articles on the sub.
ject. DR.. T. w. Sheardown gives, in
the New York Medical Record, his own
experience with it. We give the sub
stance of what he says.
He had always enjoyed robust health,
never having needed medicine except
once when he was a boy. In August,
1883, however, he was Frustrated to the
verge of unconsciousness by sunstroke.
With this began trouble with his diges-
tion. There was no pain. no acidity, but
an uncomfortable feeling which ended
in the election of his food from his stom.
ach. and yet without nausea.
This continued for three months,
Meanwhile, he faithfully tried nearly
all the approved remedies and methods
OF treatment and regulated and restrict
ed his diet. He had ravenous appetite,
and invariably rose from the table hum
CRY. He could, by the full exertion of
his will power, resist for while the ten
dency to vOmit. but apparently with no
benefit. He lost some fifty pounds in
weight, and become very nervous, irres.
dilute, respondent and weak.
Having seen the article in the Lancet
on the use of hot water, he resolved to
try the treatment. Before rising i'm the
morning he had his servant bring him a
pint of boiling water. This, 20 hot that
he could not touch his lips to it, he
drank, drawing it through a tube dur.
ing tue space Of twelve minutes.
He lay in bed one and half hours
longer, and then took his breakfast and
retained it on his stomach with no I'M
pleasant feeling. He did the same one
and half hOnrs before dinner and
supper, and half hour before retiring.
This course he continued until Christ
mas, using no other fluid whatever.
The vomiting was wholly arrested from
the very first. For the next nine months
he used the hot water less regularly,
with occasional return of vomiting. A
subsequent change of climate helped to
his cl,re and to do without the
water. He has since used il in his own
practice, with excellent results every
time the treatment was perseyered in.

All intelligent farmers know some
thing Of the importance of planting
good seed in raising the various crops
usually grown on the farm. One of the
first requisites in the production Of
good crop of almost any kind is to use
coed seed. The corn crop in the United
States is OF such vast importance that
the seed used in planting can hardly he
selected with too much care. Corn may
be vastly improved by mixing different
kinds together, and all that is necessary
to do this is to select any two kinds that
may he desired and plant the different
kinds in alternate rows, and at tasselinR
time watch closely and cut out all the
tassels A. soon as they are properly out
in all the rows you wish improved. The
ears on the mutilated stocks are then
necessarily fortified by pollen from the
stalks in rows containing the other va.
riety, hence the mutilated stalks yield
the improved corn. This in turn
may be mixed in . similar manner
the next year, with any other
variety, OF any other variety mixed
with it that may BE- desired. Thus, by
