A German Doctor on Seasiek-
ness.

At recent meeting of the Ber.
LIN Medical Society DR.. Neuhaus,
who lately made a voyage round
the world for the purpose OF study
ing the phenomena of seasickness,
gave an account of his observations.
He divides people who go to sea
into tree groups or classes-thoSe
who are never sick, the proportion
of whom does not exceed three per
cent. those who are never well,
whom he likewise estimates at three
per cent, and those who, after a
few days sickness, adapt them.
selves to their environment and sut-
fer no further Inconvenience. Sea.
sickness in the main, is caused by
the rapidly-varying pressure of the
blood on the braiU, due to the up
ward aud downward motion OF the
ship. As ship descends into the
troughs of wave the press re iu-
credses as she rises to its crest
tie pressure diminishes, and naa,
sea is the natural .and ordinary
consequence of Sudden rush of
blood from the brain. While Jour
neying around the world, DR.. Neu-
haus ascertained, by personal Oh
seTTation and actual measurement,
that when ship is much tossed
about, the livers of those of her
passengers who have not got accus-
fnu1a6 fn fla tt1nf On houo,nn a Aaat
ed in a very remarka BILE manner.
This is in part due to the loss OF
liquid in the system; but in bad
cases, where the patient lies all day
long in an ALMOST inert condition,
suffering from acute headache, the
assumes one of the lighter
forms of blood poisoning, from re-
tentiOn in the system of an element
usually given OFF. Great relIet may
be obtained by lying on the side,
with the head resting on the breast
and the knees drawn up as near
as possible to the chin. In this DO.
sitiOn the variation in the pressure
Ot blood OIL the brdiuis reduced to
. minimum, aud the stomach and
is nerves in a great measure are
from the vibrations Of
he ship. Chloral hydrate may
llso be used with advantage it
'oothes the irritated brain, and
,ften enables the sufferers to obtain
nuch needed sleep. IL should be,
siven in doses of one dramme, hut

hree or four days, not before. AL

weeds and grasses meanwhile. Then
they harvest the seeds, clearing the
chaff away, and storing the rest fol
winter use. They tend these seeds
as carefully in winter as they tend
their eggs and grubs, drying it when
damp and actually throwing it away
when spoiled. Their harvest time
is in November, and after harvest
they clear away the stubble and
leave the surface bare for the next
year.

No wonder that the ant has been
held up as a model of wisdom and

ants to be "a people not strong,
but exceeding wise, who prepare

the highest praise it has received is
from Mr.. Darwin, who says that "the
size of the brain is closely connected
with higher mental powers, and the
cerebral ganglia of the ant is of ex-
traordinary comparative dimensions.
The fineness of the quality seems to
make up for absence Of quantity

The Profits OF Inventors.

Occasionally we hear of some
lucky inventor making a fortune
from an invention secured to him
by patent. We are not likely to
hear much of those who lose what
ever they invest 10 that direction.
Sometimes we hear of merchant
whose profits have been abnormally
large, and once in a while a manu-
facturer gets rich; but no one thinks
of taking exceptions These are all
Inventor. merchant and manufac.
turer-sxceptional cases and the
inventor alone is judged by the ex-
ception rather than the rule. Prob.
ably not one in ten of the patents
issued are ever heard from afterward,
and of those that do find some kind
of footing, in about nine cases out
of ten it would haye been better for
the inventor and those interested il
thev had been abandoned. If those
who are anxious TO show up what
they call the monopoly of invention
will take the trouble to divide all
they can charge in the way of profits
to patents by the total number Of
patentees they viii not fad the quo
tent alarmingly large. In the Off.
cial Gazette of July 2l the number
of the last patent recorded is 322.-
S44. Ii all the profits arising from
patents were accounted for, and
from this the cost. actual and incl
dental, deducted, the sum left to di-
vide would ia all probability be o
minus quantity. A good deal of the
progress of the country is due to
invention. Notwithstanding which
inventors. as class, are poorly paid,
if paid at all, which is doubtful.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms Of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
tion, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication OF DR.. Bosanko's Pile Rem
edy. which acts directly upon the
parts affected absorbing the Tumors,

fecting a permanent cure. Price 80

remarks, we'll adjourn this meeting
right here. I've got work to do, and

good many of them in two if | want

and III never say anything against
Them -
