VALUABLE TONIC AND REMEDIAL
AGENT,
INDORSED AND RECOMMENDED BY TIKI
ENTIRE MEDICAL FRATERNITY.

OF all medicinal preparations that have been put
upon the market in recent years, the extract of
malt has proved itself one of the most valuable
S a tonic or remedial beverage. 1t has receiv ed
the unqualified recognition and support of ply
sicians, and is freely prescribed by them in many
cases, especially where the nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease or over
work. The house Of ''DANID NICHOLSON"
of this city, has recently introduced q pure malt
extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by Mr.. Adolphus
Busch and which is popularity known as mich
OLSON'S LIQUID BREAD from its lfe-giving
and healih-restOrins properties. sample SUBJ

''W. +. COULTER, Esq, National Druggist-Dear
Sir: Having submitted the Nicholson malt ex-
tact TO examination as requested, take pleasure
IN reporting that md IL 10 be all that the pro
prietors claim for it. The results, shown in the
following summary, are necessarily only approx
mate but are sufficiently accurate for all practical
purposes.
s.The specimens submitted consisted of an
efervescing fluid, dark brown by direct and of
deep ruby color by transmitted light, resembling
in general appearance and behavior a very supe-
riOr article of porter, Its taste was, however,
much mIlder and more pleasant than porter, be
ing somewhat sweeter than beer, the sweetness
masked and covered by a very pleasant bitter,
derived evidently from hops. The specific gravity
of Il sample fresh ON the bottle is LOOP plus.
Amount of extractve matter in so cubic cent?
metres of the fluid is 1896 grammes, or about per
cent Amount of alcohol, per cent. is 2.S4 plus.
The extraCtve matter is apparently identical with
the "eXtractum maltis" of Trommer, of the
German Pharmacopoeia. 1t consists almost en-
tirely OF malt sugar dextrine, being free from
fatty acids, etc. The fluid contains a very large
amount of diastase, shown by the fact that 1t
easily liquefies an equal bulk of gelatnOus starch
This fact, its low percentage of alcohol its eter-
vescence, its delightful taste and odor, all combine
to recommend NiehOlsOn's malt extract as being
most nourlShlng beverage, and the best article
of the sort that has ever come under my eXami-
nation. Respectfully,

The Ambitious Rooster Fable.

There was a young and ambitious
rooster on Silas Groot's farm named
Dan who was desirous of being thought
genius. He was dissatisfied with the
ordinary pursuits in which other roosters
gain eminence, and he was continually
striving for the unattainable. He cared
nothing about growing, and his cock a.
doodle-doo was the worst on the farm
through want of practice. He disdained
to cackle for an egg, and he refused to
hunt worms for the hens. The result
was that instead of being one of the
brightest ornaments Of the farm, Dan
was considered the meanest, stupidest
and most useless chicken on the farm.
He was Stunned by all the fowls; but he
was not discouraged, and as he wandered
around alone he plotted to make himself
famous.
One day his eye was attracted by the
glaring posters Of the Great American
circus, and he passed some time in ad-
miring the brilliantly-colored pictures.
He said to himself:
"These dashes of gold and red and
purple are very like the colors Of my
comb, my wings. and my flowing tail
It-looks as though l was meant for
circus.n
Then he studied the picture of a
monkey riding on bareback horse, and
the idea occurred to him that he might
do likewise. He said:
at would be entirely novel. And I
could not hurt myself by falling, as I
could use my wings"
Then he hurried to distant part of
the farm, and flew upon the back Of a
red heifer. The heifer was frightened
and ran, but the ambitious rooster hung
on with bealx aud claws, and tapped his
wings to keep his balance.
He practised this sport for several
days, and when the heifers were slow he
dug them with his spurs 50 make them
hurry.
He soon learned to balance himself
c'evcrly, and even to stand on one leg
with his wings extended.
He thereupon announced to the aston
ished fowls thathe would give circus
entertainment on Sunday afternoon.
There wasa great gathering Of all the
chickens, turkeys, ducks, and many came
from the neighboring farms. The ambi-
tious rooster appeared, and, swelling his
breast, announced that he would now
perform his great bare back feat.
A chicken hawk that had been at
tracted BY the unusual gathering watched
the proceedings from a neighboring
tree with much interest. Dan few to
the back Of the heifer, and the heifer
started on rur. Dan spread his wings
and stood on one claw, amid cackle Of
applause.
just at that moment The hawk swooped
down, and, grasping the circus rider,
bore him away, shrieking, to the woods.

Siamese Medical Science.

The Siamese, according to an account
lately given by DR.. E. A. Surge, re-
garded all nature as composed Of four
elements-earth. water, fire and wind.
These same elements are supposed to
make up the human body, which is com
posed of twenty kinds of earth, twelve
kinds Of water, six kinds of wind, and
four kinds of fire. The body is divided
into thirty-two parts, such as the skin,
heart, lungs, etc. 1t is thought
to be subject to ninety-six diseases, due
to the disarrangement Of its elements.
Too much fire causes fevers, an excess of
water produces dropsies, earth gives rise
to disease by invisible and impaIpable
mists and vapors, and wind can cause
all manner Of complaints While almost
everything is used as medicine, the pones
and skins of various animals, and the
gals Of snakes, tigers, lizards, ETC., are
favorite remedies Burnt bones, pow
dered and mixed with alum, are used on
ulcers; the eye teeth of various animals
such as bears, tigers and ground
up together. form the favorite curative
for fevers; and the ashes of earth worms
and human hair, mixed with cocoanut
oil, are often employed for cuts. The
siamese know little Of anatomy. They
are not aware that the heart is connected
with the circulation, but suppose that
organ to be about the size Of an almond,
and to be a cavity filed with a fluid
which changes color and consistency
with our. passions.

POPULAR SCIENCE.


A member of the London Meteorologi-
cal society has invented an instrument
called the anemograph, which is opera
ted by electricity and keeps record on
paper Of the direction and velocity Of the
wind.
The operation Of removing tumor
from the brain-which was recently per-
formed at London hospital for the first
time in the history Of medicine ha.

cence.
If chicken bone be left in dilute
muriatic acid several days it may be tied
into knot. since the acid has dissolved
the lime, leaving nothing but cartilage
and connective tissue. If bone be
burned it becomes light, porous and
brittle, the lime alone remaining.
The pearls of commerce, found in the
mantle Of some mollusks, are similar in
structure to the she'll; but what is the
innermost layer in the shell is placed on
the outside in the pearl and is much
finer and more compact. The pearl is
formed around some nucleus, as an or
ganic particle or grain Of sand.
Every plant begins life like an animal
"a consumer, not producer. Not until
the young shoot rises above the soil and
unfolds itself to the light of the sun, at
the touch of whose rays chlorophyl is
created, real constructive vegetation be-
gins. Then the plants mode Of life is
reversed; carbon is retained and oxygen
set free.
While our country is supposed to be
nearly free from earthquakes, no less
than 364 shocks were recorded in the
United States and Canada-not includ-
ing Alaska during the twelve years end
ing with 1888. This is an average of
about one in every twelve days for some
part of the territory. Many small tre-
mors must have escaped notice, and it is
probable that if observations had been
made in various localities with suitable
instruments the reported shocks would
have been several times as great in num-
Der.
A variety Of articles made from So
called phosphorlc glass, which is COM

have been exhibited to the French aca-

ordinary kinds, this glass resists the ac-
ton of fiuoric acid, and it will probably
be useful to chemists and others on that
account. A novel use of it in connection
with cremation is suggested by Mons.

Work in Hot Places.

The limit of temperature (which men
can work depends upon the length of
their exposure, the amount Of exertion
they put forth, their condition, and the
nature Of the atmosphere, particularly
as to its degree of moisture. Men have
been employed on railways at 104 de-
grees, in mines-nnder very favorable
conditions-at 1875 degrees, and are said
to work occasionally in the stoke-holes
Of tropical steamers at 1856 degrees.
Prof Du Bois Raymond has estimated
that temperature Of 12s degrees can be
endured when the air is as dry as posi-
bic, but that even 104 degrees is likely
to be fatal in an atmosphere saturated
with moisture. It's considered certain
that men cannot become accustomed to
stand, for any considerable time, high
er temperature than from 140 to 100 de-
grees, even when they keep perfectly
still and ale in quite pure air.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Love, like fear, makes us believe every
thing.
There can be 40 friendship where there
is no freedom.
Without content, we shall find it al
most as difficult to please others as our
selves.
When we know man has deceived
US, we appear more ridiculous to our
selves than to him.
Why should every one try to make his
own company as agreeable and valuable
as possible2 Because it is company that
he can never avoid.
Every master has found his materials
collected, and his power lay in his sym
pathy with his people and the love Of the
material he wrought in.
Strength must Be found in thought, Or
it will never be found in the words. Big
sounding words, without thoughts CORE
spending, are efforts without effect.
There can scarcely be named one quail
ity that is amiable in woman which Is
not becoming in man, not excepting
even modesty and gentIeness Of nature.
What this country longs for is person
alities, grand persons to counteract its
materialities. For it is the rule of the
universe that corn shall serve man, and
not man corn.
Time is stream in which there is no
mooring the barks Of life, because there
is no casting anchor in it; it is the true
Lethe, in which is engulfed the recollec-
ton Of our sorrows.
In vain they talk of happiness who
never subdued an impulse in obedience to
principle, He who never sacrificed a
present to future good. or a personal to
a general one, can speak of happiness
only as the blind do of colors.
Perhaps the summary Of good breed
ing may be reduced to this rule. "Be-
have unto all men as you would they
should behave unto you" This will
most certainly oblige US to treat all man
kind with the utmost ciyility and respect,
there being nothing that we desire more
than to be treated SO by them.

Arsenic in Domestic Fabrics.

With regard to arsenic there are oppor-
tunities of observing what may be classed
as experimental proofs, such as could not
possibly occur in illness arising from
sewer gas. This further proof consists
in the frequent alternate recurrence OF
illness and recovery illness on exposur
to, and recovery on removal from, arsen-
ieal surroundings, followed by final re-
covery on substitution of nom arsenical
fabric in place Of that containing poi
son. Change of air is in all probability
often credited with the benefits arising
from removal from some unsanitary con
dition Of residence, Office, or workshop.
The effect on men employed in hanging
or removing arsenical wall papers is an
other proof Of their injurious quality
men have frequently to leave their work
unfinished, being too illto continue under
the poisonous influence. Arsenic in do
nestle fabrics is so easily dispensed with
that there is no valid reason for the con.
tinued use of these poisonous colors.
Several paper stainers have for years
conscientionsly excluded all arsenica col
ors from their works, yet have still
maintained their position in the open
market, thus deciding the question both
as to cost and quality of non arsenical

Curing a Cold in the Head.

The commonest type of cold IS that
called 'scold in the head, y tc distinguish
it from stcold ON the chest" This ''cold
in the headn has certain well marked
symptoms a feeling of general malaise
is experienced, often accompanied by a
slight feverish sickness Then comes a
sensation of fulness in the head, there is
sneezing, profuse flow Of tears, an irri-
tating and copious discharge from the
nose. This means that the mucous mem
brane of the nose is infamed, and if this
spreads down the back of the throat the
sufferer becomes hoarse. Tnc best way
to treat this troublesome complaint is to
take hot drink" An orange sliced and
put into large cup with a little sugar
sprinkled over it, and boiling water
poured upon it, and then drunk as hot
as possible, is both pleasant and bene-
fetal. The feet should be put into hot
water, with or without little mustard.
This foot bath should be taken at the
bedside; the patient should be well
wrapped up, and blanket placed across
his knees should be drawn outside the
bath, SO as to confine the steam After
keeping the feet in the water for from
five to ten minutes, the patient should
lose no time in getting into bed, where
he will probably derive great benefit
from the general feeling of warmth, and
from the flow of perspiration which has
been induced. If possible, at this
stage, the patient should remain in bed
for two days, with FIRE in his
room, which should be well made up at
night. so as to keep alight till morning.
But keeping in bed will do little good if
the patient persists in holding news
paper or book to read, for thereby
he is more dangerously exposed to cold
than if he we're up, dressed and going
about as usual. The main point is to
keep thoroughly wrapped up and con-
stantly warm. Even an uncomfortable
degree of heat may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphor chewed and
sucked is very good, So is the inhala-
ton of sulphurous acid gas-a remedy
which was found to be in constant use
by the weavers Of Kircaldy, who had it
among the materials of their work. Buy
two ounces of sulphurous acid dilute
from chemist, and then take out the
cork, and inhale-through the nostrils
only, course-the pungent gas which is
given off. Some use Fcrriers snuff, and
find benefit therefrom; but it must be
used cautiously, as it contains powerful
drug-to wit, morphia. Ten or twelve
grains of Dover's powder taken in Cruel
at bedtime is good for an adult, but
should not be administered to children,
as it contains opium, which should never
be given to them without doctors
prescription. To avoid an unpleasant
excoriation of the nose and upper lip
during the course of cold in the head,
they should be often washed thoroughly
with soap and lukewarm water. and d
little vaseline should be applied. If the
throat feels sore, chlorate of potash
lozenge should be sucked occasionally.
