'AVe have a cold wave here. I have felt
the cold in Tampa as much as though I
was in St. Paul. 1t is a sad blow to Flor
ida. The leaves on the orange trees are
all shriveled. The crackers (farmers)
have nothing else to depend on but orang-
es. Roses and all kinds OF flowers are
killed. Minnesota is good enough for me,
you bet. There is but little travel here

this forces an entrance where it can,
much of it flowing along the floor direct
to the fire, chilling the feet but not
finding its way into 1.-the, lungs. It is
much more satisfactory to provide a
special inlet for the air.. as this greatly
lessons the thrush. as hidden crevices.
The way of actually Introducing it into
the room may be varied greatly. On
the whole, as far as my experience
goes, it is better not to- let it pour in at
one opening only (Which would, of
course, be directed spwarD, but to
make it escape through numerous small
oritices in such away that each little
stream may be gently warmed by flow
ing over some object exposed to the
heat OF the fire. For instance, we
might lead it round the wainscoting in
a suitable channel furnished with nu-
merous small pcrforations, or under
the floor and through. the carpet; or,
again, to secure greater warmth, it
might be discharged onto, the warm sur
faces near the fire.. In this way con-
siderable body of air may be warmed
without the use of any special appara-
tus, the principle being to distribute it
over large surface slightly heated, and
the accomplishment of this may be aided
by fringes and curtains, orby anything
that will break the currents up and dis
perse thems about the room. AS long
as no large body of cold air is moving
in any one direction draughts will not
be felt, and. to moderate the general
flow toward the fireplace we may pro-
vide the fire with a separate pipe for
its exclusive use, either communicating
with the outside of bringing the bad
air from the neighbofhood of the cell
ing. 1t would be desirable also to pro-
vide some means of fitering the air be-
fore allowing it to enter the room.
Thus warminggzand. complete ventila-
ton of room. are by no means antag-
onlstic operations. The two great
points to be attended to are, to warm
the walls and windows SO that they may
not abstract heat by radiation, and to
provide an officially recognized entrance
for fresh air, and so to dispense it as it
comes in that it may be sufficiently
warmed by contact with objects in the
room, and may thoroughly change the
atmosphere Of the apartment without
manifesting its presence in the shape
of draughts.

CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.

| h cotIeHpVuuoub WthiuS W tDe
New York SuW thus discourses on
Pneumonia aud its cnre:
BY statistics Of the New York
Board OF Health il appears that dur
ing soveu months Of last winter
there were in the city Of New York
2,5SG cases OF death from pneumon
ia. In view Of this startling fact it
seemed to me that onght to make
public course OF treatment used by
me for this disease with unvaryiug
Isuccess for fifty years.
The fatal character Of accute pn,u-
monia will bo easily accounted for if
we glance at tho ropl nature of the
disease. Tue disease Consists pri-
marily Of n disabled, inllanod state
of one or both of the lungs. Every
bent of the heart is sending into the
disabled lung impure blood for puli-
iication. The whole organism is
depen lent for susteuance upon the
return of this blood purified from
the lungs. But the lungs being un-
able to perform their work, return
the blood unpuriiied to tho heat.
The heart sends out through tho
body this impure blood and the
lungs receive their share Of the WITH
ated uourishment. Thus the whole
body becomes weaker and weaker
and the lungs already affected suffer
the most, because overpo~ cred by
the successive floods from the heart
and are finally unable to act. The
lung cells, themselves become filed
and the patient dies from suffoca-
tion.
The Treatment for this disease
which l have found successful is this:
Let the patient sit up. IL by plao.
ing your ear On the lower part Of the
shoulder blade you hear tho vibra-
tion Of the disabled lung, the cas- is
one which requires prompt attention
Wash the patients back under the
shoulder blade. Then touch with
swcetened milk under and close t.
the shoulder blade. Pot six leeche,
! in clean glass about two and one.
bali inches wide. Turn the glass
up and place the moth Jlesc agalns
the flesh directly under the shoul
blade. When you SEQ that tn
leechos have taken hold-perhap
one or two will fail to do so-tak
the glass gently away. The patien
should lean forward slightly 80 as Il
support the leeches. As soon as tn
leeohes drop of, wiring out hannel
dipped in hot water and place owe
the leech cuts near and over th,
shoulder blade. Keep renewing th'
Hannols 30 as to have the application
as hot as the patient can bear fo
half an hour. Then have ready t,
put in the same place three linseec
: poultices. A pound Of linseed mea
at least should be used in making
them. While the poultecis arc OF
give tho patient blood warm mill
: and lime water. From the time th,
Ieeches drop of the patieut viii
breathe more freely every minute.

America last year. Its fine taste a beverage,
and ability to restore nervous, weakly women in
