Keme dies for Dyspepsia.


 There are, doubtless, some readers who will, for reasons of their own, hesi- tate to seek professional advice; for them these simple rules and remedies are given. Regulate your diet, otherwise q cure will be absolutely impossible. For excessive acid risings, and the heartburn connected herewith, alkalies such as lime water, soda water, the bicarbonate of soda or magnesia will bring immedi. ate relief. These must not be taken in too large doses, or for any prolonged period, as the advantage gained by their use is only transitory, and in certain con. ditions they are capable of doing more harm than good. In many forns of dyspepsia, especially those which con. stipatlon and "bloating" occur after meals, the following often proves an eff c;ent preparation: Bicarbonate of soda, powdered rhubarb, sugar of pepsiu, powdered ginger, subnitrate of bismuth and powdered cubebs, each in equal quantities. Any quantity may be or dered, but three drams of each will be quite sufficient to prove whether or not the use of the remedy is judicious. Ol this powder from one- fourth to one. half teaspoonful may be taken in 6 wine glass of milk, water or coffee after eating, the dose being lessened if toe great laxative action is induced. After the dyspeptic symptoms have disap pcared, tonics will be needed to obviatt the danger of recurrence and restore the general health. As previously stated, never should dyspeptics attemp to treat themselves with patent medi cines. If the simple treatment hcrei1 advised does not prove successful, ther they should see a competent physician Boston Herald

Ear Ache and Leg Ache.

One of our little girls has been troubled with ear ache since her baby hood, says Orissa Potter in Good House keeping. No sores have gathered, but a cold or exposure to strong wind is al- most certain to cause her acute suffering with ear ache. After trying nearly every. thing that have seen or heard recon. mended, I have settled on this applica- tion as giving surest and quickest relief. It is flannel bag stuffed with hops and wrung from hot vinegar. I lay the bag over the child's ear as hot as she will bear it, cover the whole side of the face with dry flannel, and change the hop bag as often as it becomes cool. The warm steam filling the child's ear soon relieves the pain. Stufing the ear with the "heart of aroasted onion," tricklings of molasses, wads of peppered cotton, and Jumps of mutton tallow, has never yet, in my experience, eased ear ache, and such irritating messes crowded or poured into the delicate labyrinth of the ear may do mischief.
 Another child is victim of leg ache Inherited, possibly, for we'll do we re. member what we suffered from it's tor lures in our own childhood. Heat and moisture gave us relief, and following in our mothers footsteps, we have routed night after night from our warm quar- ters, in the dead of winter, to kindle fires and fill frosty kettles from water pails thickly crusted with ice, that wt might get the writhing pedal extremities of our little heir into tub of hot water as quickly as possible. But lately we have learned all this work and exposure is needless. We simply wiring towe from salted water-a bowl of it standing in our sleeping room ready for such al emergency-wrap the limb in it from ankle to knee, without taking the chile from his bed, and then swathe with dry fannels, thick and warm, tucking the blankets around him a little closer, ano relief is sure. A croupy cough can oftel be loosened and prevented by swathins the throat with dry warm fannels; { thick pack of them to sweat the throa and chest often helps so speedily it is no necessary to sicken the child with ipeca, or to wake the house kindling fires an( preparing hot packs.

Legally Burned at the Stake.

The Seipgig Zeitung reminds it's readers that one hundred years ago the punish ment of burning criminal to death was carried out for the last time in Berlin. It quotes from the issue of the time a letter, written on August IS, .1796, by an eyewitness describing the punish ment. All Berlin had been in consider able excitement for some days before. It was seventy years since similar pun ishment bad been carried out in the Prussian capital. and it was supposed that the enlightened views of the king, no less person than the Great Frederick, would move him on to commute the punishment. The criminal was ser want, one Hopncr, convicted of robbery and setting fire to the house where his master and family lived. The scaffold was raised from the ground seven or eight feet, upon which there was frame work secured with a door, making it a sort of open oven, within which the condemned man was inclosed. The whole was covered and surrounded with wood and straw. The culprit was brought from his prison at 6 a. m., and placed before the rath haus, and on be- ing interrogated admitted his guilt. His sentence was then read for the last time, the officer of the court broke his wand of office, and Hopner was handed over to the executioner. On arriving at the place of execution he was stripped to his shirt and inclosed in the frame. The pile was then frightened, and it burned for three hours.

 Young Matron When the baby has finished his bottle lay him in the cradle on his right side. After eating, child should always lie on the right side; that relieves the pressure on the heart. Still (refectively) the liver is on the right side-perhaps, after all, you had better lay him on the left side. No, am sure the treatise on ''Infant Digestion" said the right side. On the whole, Jane, you may lay the baby on his back until l have looked up the matter more thor ouohly,-Life.
