Ess-G-ovyissa. Toe Nails.

The most painful Ct the diseases of
the na'!S, is caused by the impropo"
manner Of cutting the nail generally OF
the great toe), and then wearing mar
row, badly made she. The nail beginning
to grow too long, and rather wide at
the corners, is trimmed around the
corner, which gives temporary relief.
But it then begins to grow wider in the
side where it was cut Off; and as the
shoe presses the flesh against hecerner,
the nail cuts more and more into the
raw flesh, which becomes excessively
tender and irritable. If this state con-
tinues long the toe becomes more and
more painful and liberated, the fungus
(proud tlesh) sprouts up from the sorest
points. Walking greatly increases the
suffering, till positive rest becomes in
dispensable. Treatment: We omit all
modes OF cutting out the nail by the
root, and all other cutting or torturing
operations. Begin the effort at cure by
simple application to the tender part OF
small quantity Of perchloridc of iron.
1t is found in drug stores in Il fluid form,
though Sometimes in powder. There
is Immediately a moderate sensation Of
pain, construction or burning. In few
minutes the tender surface is felt to be
dried up, tanned Or mslmmitied, and it
ceases to be painful. BY permitting
the hardened, wood-llie flesh to remain
for two or three weeks, it can be easily
removed by soaking the foot in hot
water. \ new and healthy structure is
found firm and solid below II there
after the nails be no more cut around
the corners or sides, but always curve
IN across the front end, they will in
future grow only forwards; and by
wearing a shoe Of reasonable good size
and shape, all further trouble will be
avoided.

New Diseases.

1t is almost impossible, the London
Standard asserts, FOR any rev occlIpa-
ton to spring into. existence without
developing some new malady. Scores
| # such cases could be adduced. But
| perhaps tit most curious was one which
ior time puzzled the Washington ply
| 5lclans. Some years ago it was noticed
that almost every one Of the women
| employed in counting bank notes in the
| treasury began after a few weeks of the
work to look i'll, and then to have sores
upon their hands and heads. This ex-
traordinary indisposition increased to
such an extent, that many OF the clerks
had to abandon their labors, after
periods varying from few months to
several years. Some of the cases We're
worse than others; but there seemed 10
possibility OF escaping the treasury
malady than of leaving Bagdad without
the curious "button" which marks for
ever the resident in the city of lIaroun
al Raschid At last, however, the
mystery came out. The note counters
were one and all suffering from blood
poisoning, caused by their having un-
consciously absorbed the arsenic used
III cololing the "greenhachs." Their
Moist fingers were applied to the fore
head, or to rub the eye, and in this way
the arsenic got entrance to the system,
and duly worked the mischief men
toned. The hurry and scurry of civil
ization are rapidly bringing new dis
eases in their train. Soitcning of the
brain was very little known before the
age OF competitive examinations and
high pressure business. Stockholders
are now so liable 10 it that DIR. Wyntcr

The hog in human shape, who makes

brought in contact, is not only worthy
OF contempt, but has no right to work

tlnately, however, in this ease as in
others a similar character, the rutfian-
ism, the vulGarity, the filthy habits Of
one individual will do more to demoral-

desire to be respected they must respect
themselves. Love bcgets love. Respect
bcgcts respect. Men who make a prac-
tice of leaving their manners and man
hood outside the Workroom have little
reason to complain if they are measured
accordingly, and yaluedssat their own

is duty employees owe as much to
themselves as TO those with whom they
are brought into contact, to observe it,
whether their transactions are with an
