number of relatives were present, refresh
ments were served and most pleasant time

valuable and beautiful. The happy pair
departed on the evening trair for Kansas

For burns and scalds there is nothing more
soothing than the white OF an egg, which
may be poured over the wound 1t is softer
as varnish for a burn than collodion and
being always on band, can be applied i'm
mediately. 1t is also more cooling than the
sweet oil and cotton which was formerly
supposed to to the surest application to al
lay tho smarting pain 1t is the contact
with the air which gives the extreme dis
comfort experienced from ordinary acct
dents of this kind; AMI anything which ex-
cludes air and prevents inflammation is tn,
best thing to be applied.
The egg is also considered one Of the very
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten up
lightly, with or without sugar, AMI swal-
lowed at gulp, it tends by its emollient
qualities to lessen the inflammation Of the
stomach and intestines. and by forming q
transient coating for these organs enables
nature TO assume her beautiful sway over
the diseased body. Two, OF, at the most,
three eggs per day would he all that would
be required in ordinary cases; and since the
egg is not merely medicine. but food a.
well, the lighter the diet otherwise, and the
quieter the patient is kept, the more certain
and rapid is their recovery
