Temperance Ina the Home.

II is from eight to sixteen that boys be

and the restraint of the fireside. 1t is then
that they seem to feel that they know
more than they who bore them, it is then
that they begin to assert the liberty of the
street. and taste its delusions, its vices, and
its crimes. Said an English iurist ofgreat
distimction:-"A large majority of ali The
criminals who are brought before me have
been made what they are by being allowed

Honey as n Medicine.

A writer in Bee-keepers' Magazine
speaks in praise of honey as {: medici.
nal agent. Honey is not only a wei,
come addition to the food of the heal.
shy, it is also a welcome medicine tt
the sick, or rather vehicle. How
many sufferers have not already beer
freed in the simplest and most welcome
way from worrying cough, from pain
in the chest, from sore throat, and many
.sti1er complaints, by means of a spoon
fnl Of honey? To how many elderly
Ders0us, who suffer from asthma and
have often at night most violent at
tack of this complaint, has not tea
spoonful of warm honey brought imme-
date reliefY
The sick man seeks help where he
c,an. Often he contents himself with
drinking the most insipid broth made
Of boiled roots or leaves of different
plants. Why should not others prefer
honey, which is the finest and the most
aromatic substance that the young
hlessoming plant would offer uss
1t is a matter of congratulation that
IN recent times scientific and accom-
plished physicians lay themselves out
to order this most precious product in
many diseases. In 1.-THE Bees and
heir Management" a professor OF medi-
cine has lately spoken of the use of
honey as medicine in distinguished
article, in which is forcibly shown what
a noble product we haye in pure honey,
and how foolish it is to believe that it
can be replaced by various kinds of
sugar.
Honey,,"this physician atfirms, dis
furbs the formation of fungoid grOwths
and has therefore been of great use as
a preventative in thrush, in babies.
Worked ND into an ointment with
-four, it is the best remedy for boils.
,"Used internally, honey cannot be
too highly praised by its use incipient
coughs, colds and catarrh, quinsy in its
early stages, .diptheria in the embryo
stage, is destroyed by it, and bacteria as
well as fungoid growths.
For diseases of the palate. throat
and breathing organs, pure flower
honey, especially strained honey, has
proved itself to be infallibly of use, es-
pecialIy when used continuously and
with corresponding diet.
when teaspoenful of wa ia honey
is taken every fifteen, twenty, or thirty
minutes, it has surprising effect on
eatarrh, and many consumption of
the lungs would be hindered in its use,
AZ well as stomach complaints.
every family shoRld have glass of
pure honey in their house, in order at
oBce, after catching cold, to be- able to
lse some. Many a valuable human
life would be preserved thereby"
