Buttermilk and Dyspepsia.

Dr. W. O'Neill and Dr. G. O. Wallace, in communications to the Medical and Surgical Reporter, have related cases of dyspepsia that have been successfully treated with buttermilk and sour milk Dr. Wallace states that he has prescribed this treatment for many years with good results, pint being recommended to be taken at each meal.
 Many other physicians have observed the beneficial action of buttermilk in dyspepsia. A glassful taken in the early morning is capital potion for 'bilious- ness" Centuries ago, in the time of Shakespeare, buttermilk was esteemed as a remedy for indigestion and was in vogue as general drink, mixed with an equal proportion of beer. This queer mixture is alluded to by "Raren Ben Jonson, the friend and contemporary of Shakespeare, in his play called the "New Inn"
 ''Sir, they do scandal me upon the road here! A poor quotidian rack of mutton, roasted Dry to be gratedl and that driven down With beer and buttermilk mingled together It is against my freehold, my inheritance. Wine is the word that glads the heart of man, And mines the house of wine. Sack, says
 my bush,

Fiddling to Cure the Dyspepsia.

One of the leading teachers of the violin in Boston-and in America-relates that a young woman came to him for instructions, and after lesson or two, he very frankly and honestly said to her:
 'It is of no use for me to teach you The simple fact is, you have no musical ear."
 "Oh, I know that" she returned with the utmost sweetness and candor.
 "But why," he asked, in astonishment easily imagined, '9do you come to me if you know you have no ear?"
 "Oh, it is because of my health," an- swered the interesting pupil My doc tor says there is nothing so good for my dyspepsia as the exercise of the arms l get in violin playing. ."-Boston Budget.

An Iag0 in the Field.

The unfortunate fall of Mir. Edwin Booth on the stage in New York while playing has been much talked about, and many have declared that it was due to intoxication. This conclusion, however, was only an inference. MT. Booth said to correspondent of the Chicago Iri- 6auae the day after the occurrence:
 ''I can explain to you the whole circumstance, and am sure you will ad. init that I am to be pitied for my sud den illness, and not branded as a votary of Bacchus. I drank some very strong tea for supper; that was all-strong, black, English breakfast tea, iced, and several cups of it. I have not been feel ing particularly we'll of late, and thai cold, strong tea, instead of calming my nerves, went straight to my head and made me intensely nervous"

Charming and Catching Rats.

s'There's not rat pit in Chicago, " said Ed. Dorney, one of the recognized local authorities in such matters, land rat catching exhibitions have not been given here for two years. It doesn't pay here."
 "Are there any professional rat catchers here now2" was asked.
 'There are one or two semi mi-profession- als. Dick Toner is the best professional rat catch in the country. He'll catch you more rats in a night than a dozen traps will, and he'll bet big money on it. He is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York now, believe. What does he earn? Fifty dollars week. If you should see him going down Broadway you'd think him railroad president He is fine looking man and dresses elegantly. He only works three hours ght, between eleven and three o'clock, when all is still"
 "How does he catch the rats?"
 'sIn various ways. Sometimes with his hands and sometimes with tongs He goes into room and turns out all the lights, and waits. When he hears rat he flashes dark lantern on it and the rat is so astonished it rises right up on Us uaunCueS, as you Ne seen gopher uO. Before the rat knows what to do it is seized by the tongs. Of course the num- Der Dick will catch in night depends on how many there are about the prem ises. Rat-catchers have various means of getting the rats to come out of their holes. They have ways of charming and enticing them through their sense of smell. Then they have tame rats which they carry about in their pockets and use to drive out the wild rats. The rat catcher stops all the holes but one, for instance, puts his tame rat in that, and then rings bell. A rat will always run when 1t hears a bell ring. The tame rat runs down into that hole and the other rats hear it coming and they start and run. There's only one hole where they can get out, and when they come out they are caught. ."- Chicago Neaos.

IA Family Swept into n River-Four Lives
 Lost.

PARSONS, Kan, May LA Mir. Kline, his wife, three children, and Mrs. Kline's brother, fs MT. Cox, were returning from the western bart of the State. where they had taken up claim. They arrived at the ferry and insisted on being ferried across The ferryman tried to dissuade them. The wind was blowing gale up the river, and with thelr wagon to catch the breeze it was thought by him to be a very dangerous undertaking. They insisted on going, however, and just as the boat left the shore heavy gust struck them. The wagon containing the wife and children was thrown bottom-upward into the river. The men, including the ferryman, were also thrown into the water. The ferryman succeeded in gaining the boat and clung to it. Kline and one of the children came up near enough to him so that he caught them and drew them into the boat. Meanwhile Mrs. Kline and MT. Cox were seen struggling in the water, and jone of the other two children was seen to rise so the surface, but by the time the ferryman bad rescued MT. Kline and the one child nothing could be seen of the rest. The wagon wss carried out further into the current. and was out of sight in few moments. MT. Cox, the father of Mrs. Kline, was notified, and last night bore his daughter and the child to his home. Search will be instituted for the bodies of those drowned.

Something About Catarrh

Something About Catarrh.
 A great many people are afflicted with Ga tarrh who do not know what ails them; and q great many more continue sufferers who might be cured.
 Thickening of the membrane which lines the nasal passages, thus making breathing dif1- cult; discharge from the nostrils, more or less copious, watery or thick, according to the stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the head; a constant inclination to spit; and, in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis gusting matter into the throat, are a few of the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
 Deafness inflamed eyes, neuralgia peips, sore throat and loss of sense of smell, are very often caused by Catarrh.
 All these troubles are cured by Piso's Reme dy for Catarrh, Relief is had immediately after beginning it's use, but it is important that it be continued without intermission until the catarrhal virus is expelled from the system and healthy secretions replace the diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to expect a cure in short time of a disease that has been progressing for months or years.
 This question of time is provided for in the putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It is so concentrated that 8 very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package is suf nclenG TOT @ long JfeatmenC, consequently the expense is mere trife, and there is no excuse for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness. A cold in the head is relieved by an applica- cation of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got from it in this way is worth many times the cost.
 The following letters are specimens of those received every day, testifying to the worth of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh:
