Cause For Rejoicing.

C1NcINEAT1.-The Times-Star says: GA
remarkable discovery made lsst winter, is
attracting wide spread interest. AS it in
wolves a most important question that
of public health, it is being discussed by
eminent physicians and public men. 1t
is shown c%onclusively' that throat and
lung troubles can be cured without re-
sorting to the use of morphia or opium
especially dangerous in the case Of chill
dren as arresting development, and pois-
oning the system. The Governor Of
Maryland and all the officials of that state
endorse the remedy; the state chemist of
Delaware pronounces it the purest and
most effective, and hospitals and charita-
BILE institutions in Philadelphia and other
cities use it with remarkable results. The
remedy which is only twenty-five cents a
bottle, is Red Star Cough Cure. 1t is
purely vegetable; it contains no poison
or narcotics, and is a positive cure.

LincOln's Scotch Can.

Hon. E. B. Washburne In the North
American Reuieeo, recalls most wildly
the exciting days Of 81, and corrects
some popular myths that have been so
generally received as to become almost
a part Of history. According 70 Mr..
Washburne, the famous "Scotch Cap
which Lincoln is supposed to have
worn when he went to Washington.
must go into fiction. He says:
"There has been a great deal printed
in the newspapers about MI. Lincoln's
arrival in Washington, and about the
Scotch Cap and Big Shawl he wore
through Baltimore, most of which is
mere stuff. 4 \ He had on a soft
low-crowned hat, a muf1er around his
neck, and a short sbob-tailed overcoat.
\ I must confess he looked
more like a well-to-farmer than the
President Of the United States"

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
A Tonic for the Weak.

The best tonic in wasting diseases
is meat extract, made as follows :
Chop fine a half pound Of lean beef,
immense this in a pint of water, first
having mixed with the water five
drops Of h%ydrochloric acid. Allow
hours, then strain. The liquid will
be a beautiful cherry color, and should
be taken in wineglass doses every two
or three hours. Should you desire to
have it favored, add a few grains of
salt or essence of celery.

One who Is accustomed to railway travel
Ing can scarcely realize how much he is de-
pendent for safety upon the engineer. Added
to the responsibility Of their station, engineers
are also in constant danger of accidents
caused by the tricks Of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes prompts
to the doing Of utterly mean tricks. A Nickle
Plate engineer after his very first trip was
lngs OF his engine. He was re-instated, how
ever, after he proved that some rival q
fltcd his oiting can ,oith emery. Another new
engineer was suspended for burning ont the
hues of his boiler. Through grief at the loss
or his position he died, and then a conscience
IN the tunk so that it foamed and showed
water at the top guage, when in reality there
was scarcely q quart in the boiler!
These intense jealousies, together with the
terrible anxiety incident to their work, has a
terribly st~raining effect on the nerve, and
statistics tell us that, though Locomotive In
gineers may look strong and vigorous, they
are not all a hearty class. Ex-Chief Engineer

Rapid Blister.

It is sometimes desirable to produce
a small blister quickly. For this pur-
pose nothing is better than concen-
trated water of ammonia (Aqua am
momia fortior). Put a few drops of
it in a watch crystal or any receptacle
of the sort, cover it with a piedget of
absorbent cotton, invert on the spot to
be blistered and press closely. In half
a minute or SO a red circle will appear
on the skin around the edge of the
combining vessel. It is an evidence
that vesication has taken place, and
the blistering material can be re-
moved. The blister should be treated
in the same manner as one obtained
from cantharides.

Tho Treatment OF Scars.

DR.. Ward, of New York, asserts that
scars may be removed by manipula-
ton. His method of employing it is
as follows: Place the ends of two or
three fingers on a scar if it be a small
one, and on the margin if it be large,
and vibrate the surface on the tissues
beneath. The surface itself is not to
be subjected to any friction; all the
motion must be between the integu-
ment and the deeper parts. The loca-
ton Of the vibratile motion should be
changed every ten or fifteen seconds
until the whole scar has been treated,
if it. be of moderate size. If the scar
be the result of a large scald or burn,
the margin only should be treated at
first: the advances toward the center
should be deferred until the nutrition
of the margin has been decidedly i'm
proved. Only a little treatment should
be applied to any n spot at the same
time, but the vibrations should be re-
peated as many as twenty times a day,
but never with sufficient frequency or
severity to cause pain. If the scar
becomes irritable, suspend treatment
until it subsidies. In the course Of two
or three weeks Of faithful treatment
the surfaces Of the scars of moderate
size become more movable and will be-
gin to form wrinkles like true skin
when pressed from side to side. All
these changes are due to improved
nutrition, consequent on better blood
circulation-the development Of en-
tirely new sets of blood vessels in the
electrical tissue.

A Smallpox ..Remedy.,

A correspondent of lie Camadien
recommends as an unfailing remedy
for smallpox the application, when the
first symptoms appear, of two small
Spanish fly blisters to the arm of the
patient between the elbow and tho
shoulder. These, he contends, will
draw all the virus of the disease to
that part of the body, and it may be
let out by opening the vesicles from
time to time with a penknife or pair
of scissors. The blisters should be al
lowed to remain till they fall off, and
no more pus runs from the wound,
when it will dry up on the application
of a little lard, and the patient will be
fully recovered in less than a week.
He claims hat he has seen this remedy
used in France and Brazil, and always
with success. At the same time he
advises every n to get v%accinated to
reduce the chances of catching disease.
